The Bungalow Number 420 - Part 7

The coffee didn’t help. He felt sleepy even after six hours of sleep. He wasn’t used to getting up early. He was night owl. He rubbed his eyes constantly to stay awake. There was nothing strange at the house. Milkman arrived as usual to drop milk packets followed by newspaper boy. Few minutes later maid arrived to fetch them. There was no sign of Rohan or any suspicious activities.

Everything was normal. It bored Manoj. His eyes were begging for few minutes sleep. He tried to open them with difficulty. He sipped coffee momentarily to give him energy. Finally he dozed off that lasted for few seconds when he accidentally spilled coffee on his lap.

His eyes opened wide out of shock caused by burns from spilt hot coffee. He cursed softly before wiping the mess on his pant. Suddenly he heard someone getting into the back seat of his car. He turned behind to find his ex partner smirking at him .

“What the hell are you doing?  Get out of my car!”,  Manoj growled. “I should be asking you that question. What are you doing here? Spying on your friend ! What will he say when I tell him you were spying him or wait ! What if I tell him everything I know about you ?”, the partner said with glint in his eyes.

The colour of Manoj’s face changed into pale. He smiled nervously and stammered, “Give me time, Roger ! I will pay off your dues as soon as I accomplish this. For sake of our old friendship, please give me time.” Roger held his collar and said, “Ok! I give one weeks time! If you don’t pay your debts before this week ends, I will skin you alive!” Manoj nodded his head.

Roger left soon, leaving Manoj sighing for relief. He got back to work. But his mind was preoccupied  with what Roger said. He had to pay off his debt. He looked at Rohan’s house. After few minutes , he found Rohan driving his car out of the gate. He started his engine and immediately followed the car.
