It was after I stood up and started following him, I realized that the temperature was quite cold. We crossed the living area and got up into the second floor.
The whole house was following a theme of certain colours, black, ivory and the furniture were in a dark shade of brown easily mixing with black and brown making the whole house look dark.
The spiral stairs that were in the the middle of the living room got up to the second floor and again also in the second floor the whole house looked dark and beautiful.
I followed him until we were outside a room, he opened the door I got inside. The room was big, as big as mine back Jaipur. Expect from the whole house this room contained more ivory shade and less black making it look like completely different from the whole house.
"Give yourself a tour, I'm busy. "
I slowly nodded as he pushed the suitcase inside and then walked in straight to the opposite direction, where a big wooden door stood with beauty carvings in it. Maybe it was the master bedroom.
I was still staring at his disappeared figure when a series of bark took my attention. The two dogs were now looking up at me and one of them was sitting outside his room, patiently waiting for his master to come outside. Looks like they were not allowed inside the room.
I pulled my suitcase in and kept the door slightly ajar just in case if the dogs wanted to go out, I pulled out my phone from the handbag and searched for their breeds.
After searching for almost half an hour I got to know that the black dog was a labrador retriver, the puppy was a white shepherd and the one who was still waiting outside his door was a Siberian husky.
I looked around the room, taking in the every corner. The furniture were in brown bit unlike the walls downstairs and outside the walls in here were dark shade of ivory appearing biege.
Now that I look at it, this whole house was in a theme, a theme that screamed old money vibes.
I pulled myself up and opened the single door that led me into the bathroom which has shower and a small bathtub in it. It was attached to the small walking closet where I needed to put my clothes.
This room contained only a few things, a queen size bed with tan colour bedsheets with quilt and a bed side table with lamp on it. A dresser with rounded swivel chair, also a full length mirror attached in its right side. A couch and a round table in the corner of the room facing the bed and lastly a drawer with three shelves just a few meters away from the dresser. There was no window in the whole room, neither did I needed one. I liked it dark and it was dark here. The room already looked cozy enough for me lie down without changing anything also the was quite big.
I was putting my clothes when I felt a small pain in my stomach due to hunger. It was half past eight and was really hungry at this point. I looked the suitcase which was half empty. The few clothes I bring with me was enough for me to stay in this house without care but the temperature always down here because of the dogs. I think I'll be needing sweats and fuzzy socks. Never once I have wore any western clothes back in palace because my nanny told me that I should be wearing ethnic as I am the face of royal family of India. this was also the reason I never owned any dresses or jeans. Putting away the other clothes in the closet I depart to get something edible.
I descend the stairs and started to look for the kitchen, for my convenience it was right next to the living room. An open kitchen with a touch of modern finish. The dinning was right inside the outside the kitchen, but the kitchen slab was also working like a small dinning with three chairs lined infront of it.
I opened the fridge and to my surprise there was no frozen food in it, rather everything looked fresh. Looks like he can cook or maybe somebody cook for him.
I looked at all the ingredients in the kitchen, remembering each thing was. Feeling tired and hungry I settle on a normal potato and peas recipe along with chapati.
The dogs were roaming beside me, basically keeping an eye on me. I thing I noticed that the husky was crippled but it didn't stopped him from playing with others. I looked at their bowls which was put aside in the corner of the dinning. I didn't knew their meal routine but I did gave them treats that were put in a separate drawer.
The collar that were hung beside their bed let me knew their knew. Fact that their name was literally their colour in German was funny but dumb at the same time.
As the white shepherd was white his name was Aspró, the husky being grey was named Nkrí (nri) and the labrador retriver was black so his name was Márvos. He really didn't tried hard to name them.
At the time I completed my dinner it was almost ten and till now he hadn't came downstairs. I put everything in the dinning table wanting him to notice and eat if he will be hungry.
After giving them treats and quite a few good belly rub the dogs were now following me everywhere. They were not quite, they barked and played with each each other, they create mess of the house and I liked it. It was like they were happy with me and I was also happy that they were here, or else I would be alone again just now in a different house.
When I got upstairs, his doors were still closed. It was kind of good for me that I won't be seeing him much, but then again this is his house and I definitely should not think like this.
While doing my night routine I noticed that my toner was getting low and I cannot get things by listing it and giving it to the maid. I cannot just ask for things here, I cannot just for the serums and the creams I'll be needing in few weeks.
My bank balance was good, but not enough to spend it without thinking. So, the most important thing I needed right now was a job... or maybe a small business. Having a name in country and getting random job will be a headache so a small business will work out with me. But what kind of business...
My mind started to roam around the business I can do without revealing my true identity. Laying down in the bed, I opened google and started searching for the ideas. First, I can do a soap business, second similarly a candle making business and third is a bakery. I can not start a baking business not until having my own personal kitchen, where I can make mess as much as I want. So now I am left with either soap making or candle making.
I will be needing a lot of things for that, I think online shopping will be best for that.
I was still thinking about the molds and oils I will be needing when I feel myself drifting into the deep slumber. Slowly my eyes drooped and my body relaxed after having a hectic day. It was then I heard the dogs running out of my room, guess the doors are not closed and it was not good, I should close the door, it's not safe to keep the door open when I'm at some one's else house. I should lock it, I should... but my body is not responding. I'm way too tired to get up. It's unsafe...
The last thing I heard before loosing consciousness was the shutting of door from afar and then my mind drifted away in the deep slumber.
