A Lizard

I hate lizards. I am sure I am not the only one who does but the intensity with which I hate Lizards is tremendous. I cannot tolerate the sight of this creature. I know that its harmless but the moment I see a lizard I lose control of my emotions. I shriek, scream and jump onto the nearest available piece of furniture. When I moved into our new home after my marriage I conducted a careful scrutiny of the house to mark places which could be potential lizard homes. Surprisingly and rather gleefully I noted that my new home did not have even a single lizard. I immediately called my mom and informed her of this discovery of mine. She was very happy for me as the three leading ladies of my maternal home(my mom, my sister and I) are very scared of lizards. After a few days I got used to living without fear of lizards. Whenever I go to my sister's house I see lizards on the wall and thank god that I dont have any in my house.
I woke up at 6.30 am today. Brushed my teeth and then entered my kitchen. My kitchen is my favourite place in my home. I let my imagination run wild in my kitchen. Its the place which makes me feel in my elements. I have made sure that its very confortable for me as I spend most of my time there. I put on the heat and started making lunch for my husband. I heated up milk and then looked for a bowl to set curds in. I regretfully realised that I would have to check in the shelves. I opened the shelf and scream escaped out of my mouth. In a second I was out of the front door. Hubby dear who was blissfully asleep came out running. He looked for me but couldnt find me in the house. I called out to him and he came out. From the udnerstanding which comes out of experience, he understood that I had come face to face with my biggest fear this morning. I had seen a lizard in my kitchen. Vamsi went in to drive the unwanted intruder out of my place of work. I stood there thinking about the lizard. I had seen a tiny lizard in the shelf... Oh my god!! I thought...how did this get in there? When I opened the shelf it was there looking at me. It stared at me with unblinking eyes. It was creamy white in colour...ohh god!! thinking about it makes me shudder. I peeped into the house and saw that vamsi had opened the shelf and had made the lizard drop down using a broom. The thought of he touching it was unbearable. I started shouting again. Vamsi asked me to plainly shut up. He swept it out into the balcony and flushed it out of the drain pipe. He then came and took me in. I have to force myself to put my hands into the shelf. I did not want to touch the place it had crawled over. I then started asking vamsi. What is crawls up the drain pipe and enters the house again. Vamsi did not think that question fit enought to respond. He left me pondering over it.
