“Ow Vijay!! My foot really hurts. Those stupid heavy tiles fell on my foot.”, she said.
My mouth was left open. She knew my name!? I was excited.
She removed her belly shoe and clutched her foot. I was excited to see her foot up close out of the shoe. Her toenails were painted in nice bright colors like that of the rainbow. A different color on each toe. The tile had fell on her foot but fortunately had landed on her metallic toe ring. It seemed to have taken the brunt of the fall and had actually protected the foot from injury. However, it had gotten deformed and was squeezing the toe now.
Shipra tried to pry the toe ring with her fingers. She then tried to slide it off by trying to put her nails under it. But it was clutching the toe tightly and did not move a bit.
“Do you have nails?”, she said. “Maybe you can try to pry this off by using them.”
“Well, let me take a look”, I said.
