As I was enjoying the nature.I noticed people entering and they happened to be father and brothers, they were buys having a conversation regarding work I guess . They went to their assigned seat in the dinning table waiting for the lunch while talking and they were so into their conversation that they failed to notice me I quietly went to the seat and sat only then they notice me they asked "when did you arrive? have some fruits while waiting for the food." After that they stopped their discussion as mom entered the hall with maids carrying the food .As the dishes were served in the table I saw that todays menu were bird nest soup , spinach , fish fry ,Crab buns , pumpkin cake and rice porridge . Mom took her seat and then started serving dad and herself some foods as me and my siblings served ourselves . We finished the lunch with a cup of mint tea. After the lunch father , eldest brother and second brother took their leave as they still had business to attain.
Rodriguez household head worked as the advisor of the royal family as the country was founded by the Morales ancestor with the help of Rodriguez ancestor . As time past by they became involved in mines , weapon and clothing business . Eldest brother is getting trained as he was gonna be the next advisor with the crowing to the next king . Currently second brother was handling the business along with the help of eldest brother and those clothing as well as jewelry business were brought by mother after her wedding as the dowry so those shops were for mother to run and Andreya also helps her mother with those shops as she was the heir to her mother property after her and from her childhood she had learnt about different skills and running the business was also one of the skills she was taught as they a girl coz her household were also involved in businesses .
After the lunch I went to mothers room as I had nothing to do alone . Mother and fathers courtyard was in the centre of the inner hall whereas my was on the east side while first brother's on the west and second brothers on the north creating a circle in the middle of those courtyard was a artificial lake with a bridge with trees and bamboos on the side . As I reached mothers courtyard a maid say me and went inside to inform mother of my visit after a while she returned "young miss madam is waiting for you " as i went inside I saw an elegant room mixed with both feminine and masculine aura and outside in the balcony was a chair with a tea table where mother was knitting a pair of gloves as she saw me worried she said "baby what are you doing wearing such thin clothes? Go bring a more warmer cloak for the miss to wear''. " its ok, I don't feel cold this cloak is enough, mom what are you knitting here outside in the cold ." She replied "ohh I was just knitting a glove for you as you got sick before i got scared look you came on time mommy just finished it come wear and tell if its comfortable" and handed me those gloves and after wearing those I felt warm in my heart as no one has ever knitted me anything before as I was looking at those gloves on my hand "what happened is it not nice ? Are you fine " came a voice then I realized that I had some tear drops on my eyes after wiping those tears I replied "no no its very nice its just something fell on my eyes , thank you its very pretty and comfortable look"she worriedly said " really then come look mommy will make more gloves and cloak for you next winter as its gonna be spring soon " then I realized that the previous owner fell sick during the first snow and was in coma for long period due to which the winter was ending soon . As we were talking I said " mom I need to talk to you alone " hearing that she took my hand and started walking inside the room telling the maids to leave us alone after that " what did you want to talk about now we are alone " then I asked " mom is it ok for me to visit my restaurant?" yes as I recalled my memory I found that Andrea had built a restaurant On her own as a disguise to roam around in male clothes and as time passed it became one of the must visit attraction of the city as well as a hanging spot for the nobles due to which Andrea had her freedom as well as information regarding what was happening in the country . Not many knew that Andreya was the owner as she didn't meet anyone one while being in the male disguise and always had a mysterious identity only a few people with position knew the name of the owner due to which people knew that the owner was a male but they hadn't seen him. As her mother knew that she had a restaurant which she used to run as a male .Mother said " I know you want to go as you have been stuck in the house for sometime but I cant give you the permission as you have just started recovering " I winned " but I will just go and check the accounts I will not take much please" mom said guiltily " I know baby we have wronged you but I really cant allow you what will happen to mom if you again got sick so please for my sake don't go " I sadly said "okk" . Then she looked at my sad face and signed " but I can permit you to go after the winter during the spring " hearing that I got super excited and hugged her and she hugged me too .
As we were talking we didn't know how the time passed by as a maid came inside carrying a tray with some pumpkin cake , rose cake and custard bun along with white tea then we knew that it was already tea time , while eating the snacks mom told me " that as spring is coming soon she had asked people from the shop to come by tomorrow to take my measures to make some new clothes after it was soon dinner time so mom and I waited for father and brothers for the dinner and soon they came by second brother was discussing about how the snow has affected the mining process with eldest brother then father scolded them to first finish the dinner then to discuss the business after than that dad winked at mother saying " Darling is it fine now no work at the table only food " making mom blush after which us siblings starting laughing.after laughing we continued with the dinner than sat by the tea table in the living room drinking some green tea . As we were sitting by dad told mother that grandfather and grandmother will be returning soon hearing that my second brother got excited and said "dad is it true that grandmother is coming soon " eldest brother said "Didn't you hear just know what dad said, do you want me yo repeat?" After Hearing that second brother made a wronged face seeing that mom couldnt ignore and asked " Dear when are they coming by " father replied "during second week in spring they were already on the way but due to snow fall they had to stop on the road" hearing that big brother got worried " Are they ok they didn't meet any accident on the way right " mom also got worried seeing everyones emotion father signed " They are fine its just hearing that you fell sick they got scared and rushed without checking the climate fearing after some time fearing that accident may occur while traveling on the cyclone they delayed for some time " Andreya's grandparents had always been living in the main house with them since their childhood due to which the siblings have strong emotion for them and maybe due to staying together their grandparents also pamper and spoil them more then their cousins showing them more preference . As Andreya being the only granddaughter both of the showered more love to her hearing her getting sick made the old people uncomfortable so they wanted to rush back understanding that I felt warm knowing that there are people loving me without caring for their health but I also felt sad knowing their situation which happened due to so I asked" dad where are they staying currently is it comfortable are they stuck on the cyclone" then looking at me fearing that I will blame myself he said " everything is fine they had just left our hot spring vill near the mountain when the snow cyclone started so they returned back on time without getting stuck" Its fine then enjoying the hot spring during this climate is helpful for dad and mom" mother said " now its quite late kids go sleep tomorrow you have some work to do " "ok good nite mom good nite dad " saying that we went toward our courtyard
After returning to the room I took a bath and slept in the robe preparing my self for tomorrow.
