She put her phone down and closed her eyes. Surprisingly, she did manage to drift into sleep very
soon.
The slumber seemed tost only for a couple of minutes, and then there seemed to be some knocks.
She concentrated. Indeed, someone was knocking on her door.
Her bedroom door. It could only be Wesley. ‘Is he back home?’
ir sat up quickly, forgetting the pain in her belly. With her hair all messed up due to the tossing
around, she opened the door.

Wesley was standing in the Living room, wearing his uniform. It Looked like he had run all the way up
there; he was panting, and there were sweat beads on his forehead. Even his military cap, usually
straight as the crow flies, was crooked from the running.
“We’re gathering. Gotta go,” he said in a rush.
“Huh? Wait, what?” ir was confused. ‘What does he mean? Why did hee back?’
Before she could ask anything else, Wesley turned around and pointed at the floor which was stained
brown at regr intervals.
“I’m sorry for the footprints. I was in too much of a hurry to change into slippers.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it,” she replied sleepily. She didn’t even know what was going on.

And just like that, the man was gone.
He hadn’t even spent two whole minutes in the apartment. What had hee back for?
ir was disappointed. She walked around slowly, turning off the lights in the Living room. That was
when she noticed a stic bag on the coffee table.
Nope! She wasn’t the one who had put it there. She had been in too much pain to even get up this
morning!
She opened it. Inside were some take-away meal boxes, and she could also see some bamboo
skewers.
The smell had already filled her nostrils before she opened the boxes, and she knew what was inside
before looking at it.
It smelled like barbeque. ir’s hands shook a little from excitement.
She had been craving for it so bad!
She opened one of the meal boxes. Yay! She had been right. Barbeque! It was wrapped in tinfoil and
looked delicious.
So, that was it! Wesley had run home at such ate hour just to drop the barbeque for her?
And then, he had barely caught a break before leaving again in a hurry.
Judging by his demeanor, he must have run all the way, on both the journeys! Thinking about this, ir
teared up.
“Boo…hoo… that silly man! He said that he didn’t Like me. Then why is he so good to me? It’s so
confusing.’
There were all kinds of veg and non-veg dishes in the boxes. She figured that Wesley didn’t know what
she liked to eat, so he had bought her everything.
ir drew a tissue and wiped her eyes. Then she started to eat, and the very first bite she took made
her certain that it was the best barbeque she had ever had.
