The incessant blare of car horns got the gate-man Abu scampering towards the gate, Jake drove into the compound with an obvious look of rage or so Abu thought. Abu knew he was in trouble already and approached him cautiously in a bit to explain and apologize about his delay in opening the gate at the first blare of his horn. “Is my wife back yet?” Jake asked as he shut the car door and looked up at Abu, “ye ye yes Sir” Abu stuttered. Today was a good day he thought but how come he didn't notice madam’s car parked two cars in front of his. “Women really do work wonders” Trish thought as she giggled while setting the table for dinner.
