Sleep

Firoz was tired like a donkey after he drove back Professor home.  Firoz woke up with splash of water around him to see the clock at 12 PM, just one hour after he slept. Prof Fehmina Khan was yelling his name with all her power that she could muster. She ordered him to go and buy sleeping pills for her. He cursed her in his heart and went to bathroom to change his wet clothes. He was back sooner than later with the pills . She gave him a fierce look and asked how could you sleep so early and so deeply. She warned him to sack him on the repitition. He went back to servant's quarter and slept on the floor because of wet beddings. Prof Fehmina was walking restlessly in her cavernous drawing room thinking about impudence of sleeping Firoz. She could not sleep even after taking pills. Whole night, she was thinking to fire Firoz. Firoz wished him a good morning with a smiling face. Her all the anger melted down and she slept without answering Firoz.
