The spy next door - Chapter 1 
No. 20A-3,
Via Cesari Beccaria,
Another headache! I don't know this stupid language! Italian! Why couldn't I learn a little bit before I come? Most of the people don't talk English! God damn why? I felt so helpless in a new country. I was turning around scratching my hair. I sought help from 3 Italians, but neither of them could explain where it was. They didn't know how to explain in English and I didn't know Italian. The sign language didn't work either. I was pretty amazed to see how some of the tourists manage to walk through this city without any help.
I didn't have a map. How will I manage during my stay here? I knew a little bit of Spanish, but it didn't help me either. I felt like going back to India in the next flight. But how can I? I'm here for a reason. I have to accomplish it.
Suddenly a loud noise made me nearly deaf. It was a sound of car horn coming behind me. I looked back. It took a few seconds me to realize that I am standing right on the middle of a street.
'Signor, Cosa stai facendo l?' (Mr. what are you doing there?) 'Huh'? I looked back puzzled. I didn't understand a single word. An old man who might be in his late sixties shouted waving his hand. 'Prendi ad un lato' (Get to a side!) He shouted again. I figured out that he was a taxi driver.
I was so tensed where to go. Another car came across. Now I am stuck between two cars. It started tooting too. 'What the hell? This is making me sick!'
Yo! What the eff are you doing? you are blocking the road! Finally I heard something I can understand! It was a female voice. I guess whoever it was, might have figured out my situation. I hurried my steps towards the car.
'Excuse me ma'am! Can you help me please?' 'I wanna go to Flaminio' She was wearing shades. I couldn't see her face properly. 'Oh it's just 4 miles away.' You can take a bus from here. The station is right behind that big shopping mall.' She pointed to a colorful shopping complex.
I was attracted to her from the first sight. All I was doing was staring at her moving red lips. I was wondering how beautiful her eyes could be, which were covered by the shades. I was mesmerized by her beauty.
'Um, excuse me?' 'Did you understand what I said?' I came back to normal. I felt embarrassed. 'Um.. yeah.' 'Thanks a lot.'! I lied. She didn't know that her beauty has grabbed my whole attention.
'Or you need any help Mr.?' ' She asked again. 'Umm.. well.' I was struggling to find words. 'Umm want a lift?' 'I'm also going to Flamminio.'
She must have figured out that I have lost my way. She looked at me for a while. I smiled back hoping that she would help me.
'You are wasting time!' 'Aren't we going home?' Somebody spoke up inside the car. I felt so much familiar. I couldn't believe my eyes in the very next second. It was none other than that girl who was troubling me throughout the flight.
Oh god! I don't wanna ruin my day again! ' I spoke to myself. ' Why should we give a lift to a stranger!' 'Let's go!' That troublemaker muttered. She have already noticed me.
I felt so bad about that beautiful lady who tried to help me. How sad? She is related to such a mischievous girl.
'Umm.. thanks a lot ma'am.' 'I can find my way.' I replied. 'Uh.. well okay then.' She smiled. I wished she would have removed her shades. My bad luck! The car drove away. I would have gotten a chance to go to Flaminio without any trouble if that troublemaker wasn't there.
Finding my destination alone is thousand times better than riding together with that torture. I saw a church near by. I need to go there and relax my mind before anything else.
Finally I could reach Flaminio after struggling for hours. I was lucky enough to be guided by a police officer. I was walking along the streets looking for my apartment.
Suddenly a red ball came bouncing across the road. I heard a giggle of a kid. A cute little girl who must be barely 3 years old came running. She was standing in the opposite side. I figured out that she was chasing the bouncing ball.
Without wasting a second she came to the middle to grab her ball while I was waving my hand to stop her. I had already noticed that a truck was coming in a high speed towards her direction.
'Lisaaa...!' Somebody called out in a loud, worried tone. Must be that girl's mom. I knew what's gonna happen within the next few seconds. I dropped my bags and ran to rescue that innocent child who was unaware about the truck coming towards her.
