Fred reached home by 8 : 30 and he was a bit thoughtful on the gloomy atmosphere when he reached home. All failed to switch on the light at the gate.
This is something he did not like at all. By eve, his house should be well lit and he had even made sure to place electric lamps on street too, light brings more happiness and goodness.
He called Nathan and asked him to switch the lights on.
The front area was illuminated now... but why like this? he was a bit upset...Nathan said sorry to his boss and left the scene.
When he entered the hall, Hannah was sitting there as if she was studying... She was trying her best to support her grandma in her drama..
Joseph came out of his room and saw Fred. He didn't even smiled to Fred.
Fred: Dad, what happened. Why you look so angry? You had a fight with mom?
Dad: Why should I fight with her? We always take care of each other. No need to fight with her. I am not like you.
Fred wondered what is going on... Why dad says so. Of course my parents won't fight too much but still they fight but now behaving like they have never had any fight in their entire life and it was my mistake and I am a daily fighter with my wife. ... Hmmm yes I do fight with her but its out of love, while doing that routine. But why dad is acting weirdly?
Fred: Mom... where are you.
Sheila was sitting in a corner not noticed by him. Hanna stood up and switched on the light near her grandma.
Fred: Mom what's happening? Where is my wife? All of you are acting weird. Where is she?
Sheila: I don't know.
Fred: (turned to Hanna) Darling tell me what happened??
Hanna: They are all worried daddy, because you hurt mamma.
Fred: I hurt her? What? When? How? Hanna don't play prank. What happened? You know me the most.
Hanna: Oh daddy..... don't get angry... mamma is fine.. it's just something different.... you don't worry.
Fred: Hmm. I guessed it is not something serious.
Shiela: Oh.. then why my son got angry? like we have sold his wife to someone?
Fred: So nothing serious right... thank god... where is she? (he turned to walk upstairs)
Hannah: Its simple dad I want to celebrate my new sisterhood but you were not in time..
Fred: Oh that's it.. we can celebrate next sunday... Wait.. what did you say? Sisterhood?? ( He stood shocked)
Hanna: ( Ran towards Fred and hugged and kissed him) Daaaaad.... I am gonna be a big sis...I want to celebrate....I love you dad and mamma... I love grandpa grandma....I love my little bro.... My sweetheart little bro...
She was howling and dancing in excitement on announcing this news to her dad. Lea was hearing everything from her room and she stood behind the door and looked at him... When he just looked at the door, there stood his shy little wifey, whole face flushed and hiding behind the door, unable to look in his eyes.
He went inside the room and closed the door. She was sooo shy to face him. He was really enjoyed her reaction and thought of teasing her.
Fred: Lea look at me... ( He turned her facing him and she covered her whole face with her hands)
He removed the hands and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Thank you" ... She heard him saying that as a whisper.
Fred: Lea you made my life this beautiful.... Lea I don't know how to express my feelings dear. I feel like... Don't know Lea... I love you... I love you a lot.
