Aji woke up disturbed by the shuffling of sheets beside him. Half asleep he called for her. The reply came in a coarse, husky voice intruding the still drowsy silence.
“Oh Aji, did I wake you up ??”
“Yeah, sort of. Shirley what are you upto in the middle of the night?!! It’s 3 ‘o’ clock!” he said on sliding his fingers over the phone, twitching his finger over his eyes sleepily.
