Lakshmi's Fear.

*****

Ira stopped in front of a creamy building. It was evening and the environment was quite. There was no sign of Karan's car even though she suspected that he was here.

She came down from her white car and headed towards the building. The whether was cold so she brought along a jacket.

The door was closed so she had to ring the bell thrice before the door knob turned. 

The giant door opened and a figure appeared with a bare Spartan shoulders. A cold shiver ran down her spine as her eyes looked at him. 

"Hello, dear" Ian greeted with a smile. He was not expecting her but she showed up anyway.

"You?" Ira placed a hand on her chest. She looked at his face again and chuckled.

"What? This is my place" Ian told her. "We're you expecting to see another man here?"

"Yes. I was expecting to see Karan and not you" She replied, looking over his shoulders to see if Karan was inside.
