Andy clears the utensils from the kitchen platform and whisks some eggs, adds some veggies and preps the breakfast with hot coffee. As she lays the coffee cup on the table. She hears the opening of door and looks up to find Jack coming towards the table. " you are right on time" with a big smile she keeps the toasted breads and omlette on the table beside the coffee. "I guess you must be hungry as well " . Jack Smiles. And sits on the chair " yeah, have i really been asleep for 2 days ?" " I feel as if i have been hungry for a decade" both laugh gimishly , sharing the light moment, Andy grabs her coffee from Kitchen platform and sits infront of Jack.
There is a momentary silence, hesitating a bit Jack clears his throat and says " so how long have you been staying here ? This looks like a big house for one person" smiling and looking around the house, he sees two people and an old lady stepping down the stairs across the hallway.
Andy turning her head as she hears a giggle "Aunt, I was just telling Jack we have many people staying here together " , turning to Jack she gestures "Jack, This is Aunt Sally, we stay with her, it is actually her house and we have been living alongwith her for like .. I have been here since the time i have moved in this town. Then Annie .. Ann whatever you wanna call her, she just moved a year back. Then we have Uncle Joseph who will come down right away..". pointing to Uncle Joseph .. along the hallway carrying a bunch of books.
"He is always surrounded with his books .. and if you ever need to look for him.. always head to the library." There is Matt who is a student who stays upstairs next to Ann."
Jack with a wide eyed look keeps looking around for Matt "So, the one with Ann yesterday was Matt?" Andy picking up the coffee mugs from table and moving to keep them in sink while trying to answer.. Ann jumps in "Well, he is Oliver my Boyfriend, he comes around sometime". Jack gets up from his sit "Is he not around ?" .. Ann again "Well! he left the next day". Aunt Sally interrupting this time.. "You have been sleeping since last 3 days .. I have been eagerly waiting to meet you, It is very rare that I get to meet Andy's friends .. I guess you have been the first one to have come here" ... Jack astonished "3 Day!!!" looking around with a startled look " I have been sleeping for 3 days.. what day is today ?" Aunt moving to sit next to him on the table while the rest occupy the seats as Andy passes the fresh coffee to everyone and fetches some biscuits packets from upper shelves and sits besides Uncle Joseph. Everyone eyeing Jack and waiting for him to shoot the questions that his startled look gave . Breaking the Silence Uncle Joseph starts " Well son, seemed like you had not slept for ages and needed rest, so no one bothered to even come and wake you up. I visited a couple of times in your room but you were deep asleep so we thought it would be better if you get good rest." Ann popping up with a mischievous look this time " And Jack, it has been snowing for last 3 days and all the roads have been blocked, you wouldn't have been able to move anywhere in any case".. raising her shoulders she moves ahead to grab the biscuits from the plate. Aunt Sally pointing towards the cellphone kept near the window "Well, if there is something urgent, you could make a call, i am sure they will understand, nothing is moving in -out of the city. The entire town is almost standstill." with a mocking smile on her face " Else, you wouldn't have seen us all together and today being sunday.. especially the Church visit is a routine in the house". Jack frowns " Sunday is it ? Offcourse, thanks i will need to make some calls. I will have to inform my boss in the first place. I will go and get my cell."
