Strange- WIP

Hi Everyone...this is a work in progress...I am not sure how to take it fwd...as in to reveal the suspense and then go ahead...or keep with the suspense and let it unfold as the story goes along...your suggestions Please...

Strange things happen to us at the most unexpected hours of our lives. Like today sitting in my local café, sipping my usual espresso, I was beginning to do my writing, when an old fellow entered the café. A rather unusually traditional fellow with a red dot on his forehead that blatantly declared his Hindu religion as also his religiousness. Adorning a polyester shirt and cheap jeans, a thinning grey hairline-all of which reminded me of the head clerk at my office.
He looked around like he was searching for someone, only to walk straight up to me, ”Sushma?”…
“NO!”…is what I actually wanted to say ,but blurted out in the affirmative.
He smiled plunked himself on the empty chair in front of me. I was grinning sheepishly, since I obviously had no clue where this was going or what I was doing.
“So..”
“So..”
“So, Hope you have read the script.”
Ouch! That hurt below the belt. I clearly had not just landed in a soup; I had actually poured the hot liquid over myself. Besides, not being the kind to be able to think on her feet, I was beginning to panic. Beads of sweat started to form on my forehead, and was almost about to give up on it when I just told myself ‘Oh! What the hell!” Just give it a shot; maybe, just maybe this could be fun after all.
So for obviously not having read the script in question, I cooked up one of the most commonly used excuse,
‘Er..No… You see I have been very busy off late .I was actually hoping we’d read it together so it would save us the time.’
Wow! Saved for now, but I could see the confusion building up on his face. Thankfully he let it pass for now.
