    He opened the door of a room and stood back, allowing me to enter the room first. It was very nice, somehow I had this feeling that I would be treated as a member of the family and not like some casual governess. This room proved my point. It was very big and beautiful. My breath was caught at the beauty of it. It had more antique furniture in the shape of wardrobes, chest of drawers and dressing tables, completed with the four-poster bed draped in cream velvet with coffee coloured hand embroidered tie backs with matched curtains at the windows. " Oh, my God !! This room is lovely. " " I thought you would be comfortable in this room as it has a view of the front garden. Did you like it? " " It is awesome!! Beautiful !! Thanks a lot.

It had a very English type of structure. I got out of the car and stood in front of the two-storeyed, white building with lots of windows. There was a lot of pine trees lined up around the boundaries of the property. The place looked beautiful with lush green grass lawns. Just then the main door of the house opened and Robert came with a butler following him. " Avni! I am glad you are here. Welcome to my home !! " He said.

I didn't want to disturb them but I already did that. So I smiled awkwardly and greeted her. " Hi !! Good evening... " " Hi, good evening, Avni. How are you?? How was your day?? " She
