Cousin may I talk to you for a minute
What now want to hit me again and say you just played with me?
Ahh holding grudge is not you style cus what I want to know is "how did grandpa let you use his hideout"
It's none of your business
Come on cousin still angry with me for the attack, but he didn't answer me and went inside the house and see my mom "Aunt Meena here's your Princess safe and sound"
Mom is relieved from worry that I also disappeared in there 'thank you Babu' now am relieved
mom enquirer him that where did he found me also did he know anything about gramps he just told her by flat lie that am waiting outside the forest area and hide the actual truth I sighed at least am safe for now and started to think about how to make them to convince about leaving art city with gramps tomorrow.
after few minutes of chatting with mom and dad Babu left for his home by bidding them night and I called Madhuri and informed her that am reached home safely also her brother left and had a conversational gossips for an hour about on going and latest news happening in the city then said our night, I felt too tired after the walk in that area so I decided to take a long refreshing bath and changed to night clothes. I came outside my room to have dinner with parent. mama called me " sweetheart come and have dinner with us" I knew the Storm is coming on my way so I prepared for the worst in the dining time I sit with them to have a dinner and it went well but in silence. Then the inevitable happened mother started to attack me with questions about grandfather " thought to self-Mrs Meenakshi I'll take you to the place where grandpa is right now so you can ask your father whatever you want to ask ok" while she was inquiring me about grandpa I was zoomed out in my thoughts she saw that and slammed her hand on the table then only I came back to present and realized the situation I was so without giving any chance for mother to start lectures me, I calmed her then explained everything also showed the photo that I snapped and inquired her about the 2 persons standing next to Geetha granny
"Maybe you can ask Geetha aunty about these people she will tell you"
Thought I handled then but the inevitable question came
Tomorrow will father come to home?
I tried to change the topic tactically by asking her "Mama how are you still beautiful even in this age could you tell me your secret" alas I forgot that the person opposite me is my mother the she devil the ability to see though people mind is gifted trait from grandma side
Thenmozhi what the two of did this time
Nothing mama
mama sighed "sometimes you forgot that Am the one who raised you also you forgot that, I know very well about the ONE who raised me so spill it already" she warned in a stern voice
Mother you too sharp for you age again what's your secret
Again baby what the two of you wired people planned or did this time. STOP brown nosing me and spill the beans
I know she smelled it
So with soft voice "promise me that you won't shout and will allow me to do what am going to do say ok mother"
So I assume that two of you did plan something big? Ok go ahead and enlighten me
Mother, grandfather planned for a visit to an old friend of him outside our town and am going to accompany him.
What?
He promised me to tell the full story of the legend" when I accompanied him for the trip he plans tomorrow
