"Welcome grandmother" Priyanka lowered her eyes. This was the third time, she greeted since the old woman entered the Living room.
"P-Priyanka...do not worry about it. Grandmother is tired" aunt Saraswati told her. She helped grandmother to sit on one of the chairs.
"Do you need anything?" Priyanka asked. She did not understand what was going on. Everyone was looking at her strangely. Did something happen on their way home or did Samira tell them a lie about her?
"No, Priya. We will take mother upstairs" aunt Jigyasa answered with a smile that was forced.
Grandmother was taken to the room with the help of the servants. She could not make use of the stairs. To avoid a repeat of what happened a few days ago, aunt Saraswati suggested that she stay downstairs until she gets better.
Priyanka went back to the kitchen and brought out lunch. Grandmother's food was taken to her room by Saraswati. The rest of the family ate in the dining room.
