Off-Script

It was nearly evening when Helly entered the store room to get out an extra crockery.
Taking them out, she bought them to living area dusting off the extra dirt.

She walked past Sushi, and gave a forceful dust with the duster making the dirt particles suspend in air.
As she dusted off, Sushi started sneezing uncontrollably.

"Oh I am so sorry Sushi!!" Helly exclaimed out.

"It's *sneeze* okay *sneeze* I am fine. I'll just *sneeze* need to take my  me- *sneeze* me- dicine" she said and rushed upstairs still sneezing.

Closing the door, she turned around and gave a huge sigh of relief, placing a hand on her chest. Surprisingly she didn't sneeze anymore.

"Narrow escape. Thank goodness I was made cautious about the fact" she thought and pulled out her phone from her pocket.

She dialed a number and tapped her foot waiting for the person to pick up the call.
"Mission accomplished" she said as her call got received and then cut the call smirking.

Meanwhile Helly took the set of crockery to the sink, "That simply means Sushi is not a spy. She didn't lie about her being allergic... Then who had put a bug on her jacket??" Mumbling to herself she turned open the tap when the water rushed out.

Placing a hand in front of her nose to prevent water droplets from settling on the wound, Helly tried to shut down the tap when Sushi put a on her shoulder.

"I am here for your help ma'am" she said and pushed Helly softly.

"Thank you so much Sushi" said Helly smiling.

"Your most welcome" the junior girl smiled widely.

"By the ma'am I forgot to tell you..." She said after doing the last dish. Closing the tap, she continued, "......Rrahul Sir gave you an off for two days. And if there are any urgent meetings, they will be held online" she informed taking the dishcloth from the slab.

"Okay...." Responded Helly and was about to help Sushi when she denied.

"Sushi come on. This is not your work. You are my guest" said Helly feeling embarrassed at her situation.

"I am your helper" said Sushi smiling and Helly turned around to cut the vegetables for dinner.
"And yes!..." Exclaimed out Sushi, "....If there is any urgency regarding official work, he's gonna come here at your place" she completed and continued wiping dry the dish cloth.

"Rrahul's gonna come here??" Asked Helly in astonishment keeping the knife aside.

"...If. there. is. any. need.." Sushi said thrusting on each word and then looked away biting her lower lip and then pressed them in thin line as if camouflaging her smile.

Helly eyed the every corner of her house while cutting the pointed gourd....

"My house looks fine..." She then shifted her orbs towards the left corner on the ceiling, "Uff the little cobwebs" and she moved the knife on the pointed gourd.

"The little dust on paintings..." She groaned and banged the knife on the pointed gourd and unknowingly on her index finger too..."Ouch!!" She screamed out as blood started flowing out thus smearing the pointed gourd with red colour.

"Ma'am!! What happened??" Sushi  cried out at the sudden outburst of her Senior who was busy sucking the spot.

"I cut my finger" she said taking out her finger from her mouth to see more blood coming out.

"It's deep" commented Sushi and pulled Helly towards the sink. She then opened the tap and put Helly's finger under the running water.

"You wait here. I'll get the first aid box..." Sushi ran towards the stairs but traced back her steps immediately, " ..Where is it?" She asked.
