3 The Pool

After completion of the exploration of our room we made some important decisions that were as follows- First, that mom and Mire will be sleeping together on the master bed, and I and Shakhi will be sleeping separately on our extra beds. Second the upper most drawer in the wardrobe will be mine, second will be Shakhi's and the middle one will shared by mom and Mire. After making these important decisions we were all hungry and as it was late afternoon, the restaurants had closed their services, but the reception told us that we could have our order served in our rooms if we wanted and obviously they were going to charge us extra for that ( as it includes thousands of taxes). I just don't get it ..... that the only difference about having our food in room and having it in restaurant is that at the restaurant we go there walking, on our own feet and sit there waiting for the food to come where as in room we simply enjoy and the hotel staff is the one to bring us our food when it is ready.. Whatever till now I haven't been able to understand the reason behind it but let it be, I was there to enjoy my holidays. After having our late lunch we were all in a lazy mood, well except Shakhi. She wanted to go to the pool. Yes I know that it was a crazy idea- going to the pool, that also right after lunch. But as she insisted Mom allowed us three to go there and said that we stay in touch with her and not go anywhere else except the pool. Well she said many other points of caution for us but we were too excited to stay there and listen to it and so hurried to the pool side. When we arrived at the pool side the pool was empty. Well that doesn't mean that there was not water, but what I mean was that there were no people in the pool. Now the pool was all ours, we no took no time and just jumped into it even though the sign near it said "No Diving". We were having a lot of fun and that is when I saw him for the first time. We three were busy enjoying ourselves that is when someone came to us holding three huge towels and asked us" Excuse me Mam, here are the towels you had asked for. On which chair should I keep them?" Mire answered his question and asked him to keep them on the first one as the first chair was occupied with our belongings. I have a habit of noticing even the tiniest thing about different people's appearance that is why I remember, he wore a black shirt and jeans, and also had black framed spectacles on his face. He looked quite ordinary but obviously was not from south. He kept the towels on the first chair and went back. I was thirsty and so I got out of the pool to drink water, I don't know what came into my mind but I thought of checking the phone to see whether there were any missed calls or not. And the moment the screen lit, I saw something really dangerous. There were 19 missed calls from "Mom".
