INTERLUDE : HAPPY BIRTHDAY
"Lili don't eat so quickly and chew you food properly." Mom said pointing the spoon at intended person. But she paid no heed.
"But it's so tasty that I want to finish it off quickly and eat the ice-cream. I might not be able to eat them anymore for a while." Lili sounded desperate and the victim here.
"Don't speak while eating." Mother retorted.
After sometime when we were finished with the dinner and Flora came to get the plates, mother looked at me and asked.
"Alicia I have seen you working so late at night recently. You should sleep early and if anything is troubling you just ask."
"Everything is fine…." I might have sounded a little odd there. But there is no escaping from mother's all knowing senses. I was sure I had excellently buried all the trails and my work a secret. Maybe she even knows about that.
"Big sister have you thought of the cake you are going to make on my birthday."
