Chapter 5

Johnson House

Elina barged in her brother's room as soon as she returned home with a tensed look, "Owen, please give us a little time alone?" Elina's brother's jaw dropped.

"I'll let you off for not knocking this last time," the brother left the others alone.

"Thanks Owen," Elina was really grateful to him for understanding.

"Sister-in-law! Please lend me your ear," Elina begged with concern in her eyes.

"What happened?" Jessica couldn't keep her curiosity down.

Elina started explaining her day at the shopping complex. After understanding the whole gist of it, Jessica too was riled up.

"Are you sure that they weren't in a casual relationship?" Jessica investigated.

"Trust me the other guy had stars in his eyes, oh, let me show you a picture I caught by chance," Elina continued to show her the sneaky shot.

"Although I get what you meant now, but, that's some crazy stalking you did, why'd you think of snapping this picture in the first place? You sure you haven't fallen for either of them?" Jessica teased lightly.

"I'm serious, I wish I could meet the other man and tell him what's wrong with this lad and that he should move on," Elina explained with a heavy heart.

"Exactly so. How dare that weirdo play around with a pure boy's heart!" Jessica supported the girl by her side.

"But hey, did you remember anything on the business card you teared up? That could be huge clue," the detective side of Jessica perked up.

"Umm..something like Wood? I don't remember it completely," Elina scratched her head in confusion.

"ELINA! Are you sure you read Wood?" Jessica was fired up.

"I think so..why? you know of any salon like that?" The fog in Elina's head kept thickening.

"Why are you so cute, my ignorant child? I have an appointment there tomorrow, accompany me!" Jessica snuggled the girl with all her might.

"Awhight(alright)," Elina agreed.

Downstairs

"Did you guys have a fight, son?" Mr Johnson asked worriedly.

"Whaat? No, why would we? We are very happy! Please don't jinx us like that dad," Owen reacted like an angry cat.

"I remember the times when me and your mom had fights, she wouldn't let me sleep with her," the old man sobbed with nostalgia in his eyes.

"Dad, sis has something personal to talk with my wife, don't make crazy assumptions," the son dismissed his father's ominous thoughts.

"I heard someone bad-mouthing me, I wonder who that would be? Honey, it wasn't you hopefully?" Mrs. Johnson entered the living room.

"Of course not, my pretty wife, it was our unfilial son who was talking behind your back and I was disciplining him. You do not need to bother a out such trivial matters, babe!" Mr. Johnson buttered his wife while signaling his son to play along.

"Atleast have the guts to admit what you did, you old baldie!" Mrs. Johnson started pulling at her husband's ears roughly.

Seeing all that trouble, Owen went back to his room, he couldn't but leave the old couple alone to flirt in their own special way.
