One queer evening

It was the weekday evening. We had an invitation to celebrate a couple's new flat. The place was not very far from ours. So we didn't mind going there. Though the neighborhood was shabby, the road was lit with low power lamps, the adjacent old houses are covered with duskiness, the road rather the lane is suitable only one car driving at a time, but we still made our presence count as they invited us cordially. But couldn't understand what the reason they bought their flat over there for. Anyway, we reached the flat in time through the dark alleys. We met two gentlemen and a lady in the way and could sense that they were going to the same destination. As we reached the new flat, suddenly taken aback to view the eccentric ground floor decorum. Three age old steel cupboards, one worn string bed welcomed us entering the staircase. Then came the stairs. One person could hardly stand at a time. Going into their flat was nice at last. The front door was graced with garlands and other designs. The toilet is just at the right side entering the door. I needed the washroom hence it was rightly at the right side! The drawing cum dining room gets a bright look with all new furniture though the plastic chairs here and there marred it a bit. The pink colored wall all along with flat in all the rooms did not make a good impact for the visitors. The first thing was to get looked into is the bright orange wall cabinet. Thought it was a file cabinet or so but later came to know that it was a shoe rack!
