The intruder when it rained (305 words)

 

The sky was overcast since morning but one did not expect a big rain. Suddenly there was a blinding flash followed by an ear-splitting thunder that seemed so nearby. It looked as if the sky broke open with torrential rain pounding the glass panes of the hall.

Everyone in the hall became silent for a while. The monthly kitty party of about a dozen young ladies was in full swing at Sunita's place. The silence soon gave way to a riot of laughter and light-hearted banter with the realisation that they could beat the rain to the party.

A little while later the door of the hall creaked open slowly. All eyes turned to who it could be at this hour. Sunita saw him standing at the door defiantly with legs apart and lips twisted.

Shocked she asked in an angry tone "What brought you here?"

In answer, he winked at her with a roguish smile and removed his shirt unperturbed by the shaken audience.

Even as the ladies gasped in disbelief, he traumatised them further by taking out his vest.

What a glowing complexion, well-proportioned body and charming features, they wondered.

“Stop it, I say. How dare you come here and misbehave like this? “Sunita screamed

When he put his finger nonchalantly on the zip to bring it down, the ladies stood up in dismay partially closing their eyes with fingers half in fear and half in curiosity to know what lay ahead.

They heard the cry in pain when Sunita whacked her five-year-old boy’s bum asking him to leave the hall instantly. There were peals of laughter followed by an admonition to Sunita from all at her inconsiderate reaction to the little intruder's prank..

The rain had subsided by then to a mild drizzle.
