186 ARE YOU SAD?

Both Charlie and Karl looked to each other. What could the tell?

"Are you telling me or not? Stop staring at each other. Where are John and Zinu? Has something happened to them? Tell me quickly." Mrs Smith said in her stern and cold voice. They Startled to hear her cold voice.

'Oh God, please save us from this dilemma. Now what will we say?'Charlie prayed to God silently. He heard Karl was stammering.

"E.....elder ....l....lady boss.N...nothing has ha....ppened to them.We.... ju....just come from....."

"Karl from when do you started on stammering? You should practice more speaking."

Karl jumped up to hear John's voice from his behind. He looked at John and Zinu with wide eyes. They had entered the house as nothing had happened earlier.

"Bo.....boss. I am going now. I....I will meet you in the Old Smith house."Karl said.

Karl wanted to leave the house as soon as possible. As he reached the door, he heard Mrs Smith was calling him from behind.

"Karl, Wait. You should take proper care for your stammering. It is not good for you. You will not get a good girl to marry if this problem remains. I have a friend, who has a speech therapy clinic. He has a very good reputation for speech therapy. I will call him and recommend your name. You can join his therapy session from tomorrow onward."Mrs Smith said.

Both Charlie and Karl shocked to hear her. They both looked at their boss. But their boss was busy on his mobile. He even did not give a single look at Karl.

'Oh, boss! Where have you hanged me?' Karl thought but could not say anything.

He just nodded and left. He wanted to cry loudly. He knew Mrs Smith. She will not leave him without sending him to speech therapy sessions. Charlie was also get alerted. He knew that John could trap him also. So he decided to left them there. He slowly forwarded towards the room where Dolly was sleeping.

" Charlie where are you going to? The lunchtime is already over. Come, let us have lunch together. I have sent Dolly's lunch to her room. Alicia is feeding her."Charlie nodded and obediently sat down in the dining table to have the lunch.

Zinu was enjoying everything. She was smiling to see the nervousness of Karl and Charlie. She knew why they are behaving like this. She looked at John. He was enjoying his chicken wing, as nothing happened. She blushed to remember what happened in the garden.

John pulled her to a corner and hugged her tightly. She tried to get free herself from John, but he was not ready to leave her.

"Don't move darling. Let me hold you." John whispered on her ears. She stunned to hear the sadness in his voice.

"Hubby, what happened. Are you sad?" Zinu asked in a low voice.

She could not see him sad. So, she decided to talk to him about it later. She came to her senses when she felt John's tongue touched her. She closed her eyes and joined him in exploring each other's mouth.

After some time John broke their long kiss. They both sighed. They waited for some time to get air into their lungs properly.

"Zinu, please don't leave me," John said with a sad voice.

"What are you saying? Why would I leave you? Now let us go inside. Everyone must be waiting for us."

John nodded and entered the house. When they were having their lunch Zinu thought about John and his speaking. She did not know why, but she also has some strange feeling now. She could not eat more, as she felt like vomiting. She ran away to the washbasin and started to throwing up.

Everyone startled to see her. John came running and held her. He was too worried. Mrs Smith and Charlie also waited for her near the door of the room. After two minutes, Zinu was feeling good.

"Zinu, I am going to call the doctor. You just wait for a minute." John said worriedly. He held and picked her up and let her lie on the Sofa.

"Hubby. I can walk. I am not that much sick. It is due to indigestion I think. I have had spicy noodles in breakfast. So, it must harm my digestive system. After throwing up, I am feeling good. You don't worry." Zinu said with a smile.

"Are you sure dear?See, your health is the most important than other things. Although it may be due to indigestion, I think we should call the doctor." Mrs Smith said worriedly.

Both John and Charlie nodded in agreement. But Zinu denied.

"No.Grandma.I am fine. I can not waste my time by waiting for the doctor for no reason at all. I have to go now to the Old Smith House. Otherwise, I will be late. I promise I will take care of myself."Zinu said with a smile.

" How can you think that I will let you go in this state? You need to rest. We can go there any time later." John said firmly.

"Oh, hubby. You again started the same thing. I am telling you that, I am fine. Nothing will happen to me. Please let me go." Zinu pleaded.

John thought for some time and nodded.

"Ok. You can go. But you have to follow the instructions given by the bodyguards. Ok?"

"Yes. I will follow everything." Zinu said and got up.
