I pocketed a pack of condoms at the pharmacy and made a brisk walk to the hotel. I didn’t wait for the elevator and ran all the way to the third floor. As I arrived at the door of my room I realized it was locked. A quick thought ran through my head – did Neeta have second thoughts about what we did and were going to do?
I took the slowest steps I could and knocked at her door which was two rooms apart. As Neeta opened the door, my mind raced through my earlier thoughts and concluded – yes, she did have a change of mind. She had changed to a pair of nightwear, a loose fitting tee and a pair of pajamas. I stood still at the dimly lit doorway thinking if I should enter and if things were the same as it was before I left. My heart skipped a beat when she yelled – Get in.
