Shiddat~Journey beyond Love - Pranbir

Part 14

In California
The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. The just risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early morning activities.The city was already astir with the vehicles moving on the road and the shops been opened. The markets were crowded and the the people were set out for their works and offices. And here in a big mansion stood a guy in the middle of the main hall and in front of him stood a maid with her head hung down

"What the hell is this Maria?" yelled the guy in top of his voice

"I am sorry sir" said Maria in low voice

"What sorry? Do you even know how important meeting I have today and those bloody taps aren't working" said the guy

"Sir I don't know what happened to them today, yesterday night itself I checked them and that time they were perfectly working" said Maria

"So what happened to them today morning why aren't they working?" asked the guy in an annoyed tone

"I am really sorry sir I will just call the plumber to fix them and if you are getting late"

"If I am getting late then what" shouted the guy

"I.. I suggest you to take bath in some other bathroom" said Maria while stammering in a scared tone

" Ohh I didn't really think that way... your all bloody taps aren't working I checked them, now just call the plumber" said the guy

While Maria hurriedly leaves from there to call the plumber, the guy sits down on the couch and closes his eyes gently when suddenly he hears the sound of his ringing phone, he gets up and picks the call

"Hello, John just inform the other side that I will be late or just leave this and postpone the meeting" said the guy as soon as he picked up the call

"Okay sir" said John from the other side

"Any work?" asked the guy

"Actually yes sir, I wanted to ask you till what time will you be here?" asked John in a scared voice

"I will try my best to reach early" said the guy in a calm voice and here he ends the call

Knock knock!

Maria who was setting the utensils in the kitchen, comes from there to open the door and gets relieved on finding the plumber standing at the door, she guides him up to Ranbir's bathroom followed by Ranbir who also goes behind them

"This way, this tap was alright till yesterday night and today it isn't working" explained Maria to the plumber while the plumber nods his head and starts examining the tap

"How much time will it take?" asked Ranbir while checking his wrist watch

"Sir just five minutes" says the plumber while opening his tools and starting his work

"Sir it is done" said the plumber after sometimes he happily gets up and starts the tap

"The tap isn't still working" said Maria quickly before Ranbir could react, the plumber too was little surprised

"I will just check what's wrong" said the plumber as he quickly gets down to check the tap while Ranbir was lost somewhere else

In the flashback

"Ugh, where the hell is this tap" said Ranbir while he was blindly running his hand here and there in order to find the tap
