Then she lied on her bed and closed her eyes, thinking about something 'Cindrella....this is my umbrella' She suddenly got up from her bed in shock.
'Why my mind..... clearly remember these words?'
she sat on her bed thinking about it for some time then suddenly her grandpa called her "Ali!! The Dinner is ready" He called from down stairs.
She stopped thinking about it hoping that it is just popped up from somewhere in her mind, this is not a big matter.
"Yeah, just coming" She replied to her grandpa.
She came down stairs to eat. then she saw her favorite dish, her saliva came out of her mouth and keep staring at the dish.
Grandpa got angry by her this kind of behavior "Alisha! Behave yourself!!" he yelled at her.
Alisha remove her saliva from her mouth because grandpa taught her some strict table manners that everyone can learn but it will take half of a year.
She sat on her seat straight and started eating her favorite dish like she was dissapointed or embarrassed about something.
Grandpa felt guilty by seeing her that kind of face, he want to talk about some fun topics with her granddaughter. In few seconds later, he realized that he forgot to ask something to her, he softly asked.
"Ohh... I totally forgot, did your art teacher gave you something, like a lett-....a note?" He changed his voice in serious because he was went to spout something unexpected.
When Alisha heard it, her spoon stopped in midair and her hand started shaking. she upward her head slowly to face grandpa but she doesn't want to.
"That...n..note yeah, the teacher...gave it to me, how....did you know?" Alisha was trembling and hesitating like it was her last breath now.
Whereas grandpa awkwardly smiled and said "Ooh, um..." He looked upward to got some idea to answer her question "Your...teacher called me...before you arrived." He was started sweating.
In other way, Alisha was sweating, too. 'Damn on you, teacher!! you don't believe me, that's why you called my grandpa about it to confirm that I gave the note to him or not?huh...You are just a piece of cake for me, I will retire you whenever I want. just see, you bad teacher!!' Alisha continuously cursing her inwardly.
Then grandpa saw her lost in thought, he got worried 'Is she doubting on me?'
"Alisha...." He hesitatly called her.
Alisha came out from her thought and faced her grandpa in shock 'Is he already noticed that I don't want to give him the note' Alisha's mouth was open thinking about what will happened next.
Grandpa also was in deep silent and changing his expression because that silent monster keep staring at him.
Now, There is a dead silence in the dinning area, they both looking at each other trying to read once face or mind and the housekeeper also looking that both grandpa and daughter feared face that they are making 'They are both weird' she thought.
'How could it be?' Alisha and her grandpa thought about it at the same time. Actually they are from same blood group.
The housekeeper can't take that silence anymore so she make a big sound banging a steel plate on the dining table. They both Alisha and grandpa chuckled and got over from their daydreaming "Huh....did something happened." Grandpa asked in shock.
The housekeeper looked upward to face grandpa then she said softly "There's nothing sir, looks like a mouse threw something in the kitchen I am going to check, have a good meal" The housekeeper escape from there as soon as she could because she thought that she made a very big sound. If they found out that it was me then just consider that she is now a dead meat it was not a good idea to woke the monsters.
But alisha already knew that her housekeeper made that sound but she doesn't said anything because this situation is more complicated than the other.
She was fastly doing her dinner to somehow escape from her grandpa but how could it be possible her grandpa was staring at her continuously and it made Alisha more nervous.
She started eating slowly and asked her grandpa hesitatly "Grandpa why aren't you eating, isn't the food is tasty?"
Grandpa wasn't staring at Alisha he was just thinking that how he get the note from Alisha,
sneaking in her room? but if he caught by her what will he say? grandpa started eating pretending like nothing happened "Huh...yea.. yeah I was just thinking about something"
Alisha get suspicious about what her grandpa said 'Wait, I didn't asked him that what he is thinking, so why he said that?' She wanted to asked about it but afraid if she talks much, her grandpa remember that he was asking something to her so she ignored it.
But her grandpa isn't a ------- person he was planning to take the note somehow but there is a problem he doesn't know that where she hide that note. And he is now too old to sneak in her room or if he asked the housekeeper To do that so she would be curious for sure. There is no any other option, her grandpa cried inwardly.
FEW MINUTES LATER
Alisha and her grandpa both finished the meal. She got up from her seat and ready to ran to her room but her grandpa stopped him.
"Where are you going" Grandpa asked as she turned back to the stairs.
She doesn't want to turned back but she have to because her grandpa taught her that we should always answer facing the questioner and if she doesn't obey him he will sure gave her the worst punishment ever.
She turned back inwardly crying "I am going to sleep, grandpa" She softly said.
"Why so hurry to sleep"
"Because tommorow is my school"
"Come on I will wake you up"
"But grand-"
"Don't you like to spend sometime with grandpa" He made doll eyes because he knew Alisha's weakness that she can't regret if someone show her doll eyes because it looks so much cute and Impossible to say no.
Alisha want to close her eyes, turned her eyes still she can't but can cursed grandpa inwardly 'Damn you grandpa, you aren't a simple grandpa that everyone have' she took deep breathe and said "Alright, alright now stop showing that doll eyes."
Grandpa smirked and called her to seat beside him on the sofa watching some reality show on big screen of television.
They both happily watching the show because it was really funny. After few minutes, grandpa narrowed his eyes to Alisha and saw that she is laughing and smiling seeing that funny show, 'Now, is the time to ask' he thought.
"Ahem..." He cleared his voice and got attention of her granddaughter "Alisha, can you give me the lette....ahem....the note?" he hesitatly said because he was again ----------------- "Can you give me the note, now?" He repeated but in a cleared voice.
Alisha was really happy watching the show with her grandad but he again want the same thing and keep asking her to give him, her smileness is no where to find. But finally, she doesn't said anything and ready to face the trouble again because one day she have to give the note to his grandpa.
She nodded her head and go upstairs to bring the note. Grandpa was in relief that after so much struggle he can get the note.
In few seconds, Alisha came downstairs gave him the note and sat beside her grandpa but she was absentminded the whole time.
Grandpa was really happy but he was alert to don't show his happiness in front of her daughter. he quickly opened it but before reading he took a glance at Alisha, He get frown by seeing Alisha upset.
"Why are you so upset?" he asked but in a soft voice.
"Nothing grandpa" she said in a low voice.
"Oo, okay" He doesn't care about her that much because he was anxious to read the note.
Alisha didn't let her head upward because she was really scared that what she will do of that note was about her complain of bad painting.
But in few seconds later, she realized that there is no response came from her grandpa, there is only silence and nothing, so she upward her head and looked at grandpa with fear.
But when she looked at him, she widely opened her mouth in shock because she saw something unexpected.
