My friend has come.

I know that my friend P has arrived. Call it intuition or mere telepathy, whatever.

Being in the same apartment complex, is an added advantage, when a dear friend arrives.

I can just drop in her house any time – the stress of travel is greatly avoided.

But my husband says that its past midnight and probably not a good time to visit, even its my dear friend.

So, I pull my face to a frown, draw the sheet up to my head in anger and try to get some sleep.

When suddenly, I hear a rattling noise, outside the flat.

Being awake, I try to peep out of my window to see what’s happening.

Seeing a huge crowd down, in the parking area, I try to wake up the sleeping man in my home.

He opens his eyes slowly, but when he hears lots of noise outside, he is totally awake.

He tries to call the Secretary of the Apartment, who is also a family friend, to know what’s going on.

It was shocking news for us – there has been a robbery in one of the flats.

And the residents think that the robber is still hiding in someone’s house.

So, they are discussing some method to catch him, before he attempts to rob another house.

The maintenance office is opened and everyone in the apartment is being called individually, to be warned of such a thing.

And till such time, every resident has been advised to stay indoors and not venture out.

The sleep gone now, me and husband sit surfing channels and sending SMSes to friends, since all of them were awake now.

It’s dawned now and I make some tea.

Husband plonk on the bed to catch some sleep.

I silently make a vow to go and meet my friend. She’s just a few flats away.

But the moment I come down, I see a big commotion and hungama everywhere. My neighbor told me to go home immediately.

Everyone looked so scared.

I came back home.

I just couldn’t understand what was going on down.

Oh my dear God, my friend is just a few flats away ??? Why are you making it difficult for me to visit her ????

Then suddenly I heard a THUMP in my balcony.  I ran to see whats that sound.

I screamed my lungs out.   AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
