"Okay Uncle" Monica said with a smile. She also considered Drake as her father. The only thing that's stopping her from calling him dad was her Mom's feelings.
She didn't want her Mom to be upset for no reason so she could only hope her Mom could be together with her Uncle Drake.
Drake dropped Mr Claire and Monica at the house by half past 7 and returned home afterwards. Martha had been asleep since she came back so Monica also retired for the night after having a simple dinner.
Drake collapsed on his bed immediately he arrived home. He couldn't help but sigh in content at how good it feels to be back home. When they were at country C, he hardly got any rest as he took up the interrogation after Monica's rescue.
'sigh...' Drake rolled over to pick up his phone. He opened Martha's contact details but closed it after contemplating a little.
'I think she should be asleep by now' he thought to himself. 'Never mind, I will just visit her tomorrow ' he concluded before drifting off to sleep.
That night, Monica, Max, Martha and Drake slept really well. They slept with the thought of the other person in mind and had a wonderful dream. Peter and Priya also slept soundly because their baby sister was back, safe and sound.
...
Three months passed by in the blink of an eye. Its been exactly three month since Monica's abduction and thankfully nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Today was the day they went out for their termly excursion before their exams and it was going to be a really busy day.
Monica was very excited as they would be going to jer favourite tourist center in Roda city. She loved the view there and would always go there whenever her mom insisted on taking her out.
Siran Amusement Park was the biggest park in all of Roda. It occupies twice the land mass of any other park and was owned by the Jones family.
Monica up until this point, did not know of her relation with the Jones. Martha of course wouldn't tell her about her grandparents as she herself wasn't considered a Jones so Monica technically doesn't have maternal grandparent.
Although she would pretend to be unfamiliar with the place whenever she goes there, she always finds a way to sneak glances at her younger sister who she sees occasionally with a look of sorrow and longing but never dared approach her directly.
Monica loved that place not only for the view or entertainment but also because of a nice woman she sees there. The old lady was always moderately dress with no single ounce of pride to her and was wall especially caring towards her.
Monica has always wished to introduce her mom to the nice old lady, but there was always something that stops their meeting one way or the other.
They set off by 9am in the morning and arrived at the airport by half past 10. Monica has been smiling since morning so it obviously put Max in a good mood also. Their flight took about an hour as Roda was ten or so miles from Abbe.
They arrived in Roda by 11:30am and set off for Siran Amusement pack immediately. Max and Monica were sitted side by side through out and observed the view on their way.
Roda was one of the top three city in all of country S. It has a splendid view littered with several skyscrapers. The streets were always busy and was an attractive place for tourism. It was located towards the ocean so it had this ocean soothing vibe and warmth to it.
The schools bus arrived at Siran Amusement Park and did all formality check before 1pm. Their assessment was to gather 10 new or strange discoveries to them and elaborate on them in their upcoming exams. You can decide to go alone but most people went in groups Max and Monica included.
Max set off with Monica to her favourite spot, the park's arcade . Monica loved 'The Tweenie' the most as the game required the player to play two different part.
The game has different pairs like,thief and culprit, hero and villian, police and criminal, doctor and patient etc. Monica loved the hero and villain because it requires the player to capture and rescue the villain but because she was too good at being the villain, she never rescues the princess.
Now that Max was with her, she was very excited to play because she was confident in winning Max. Max had no interest in any of these games but because he didn't want to upset Monica, he decided to give it a go.
" I'm the villain and you are the hero okay" Monica told Max as she ushered him towards the game. "So you will have to rescue the cute pink dressed princess while I make sure you don't succeed. I've played this game a thousand times and nobody can rescue the princess from me. Goodluck Max" Monica instructed Max with a beautiful smile plastered on her face.
You will hardly see Monica in such a happy or excited mood. Max loved seeing Monica smile so he obviously knows what should and shouldn't be done.
The first round started and Max was playing lazily while Monica had her usual determined to win expression. It wasn't until a minute later that Max realised his strategy were useless against Monica.
He immediately became serious but it was still not enough. After about 2 minutes the game was over. Max was sweating profusely with a look of disbelief plastered all over his face.
How is this possible...
Monica won him...
She defeated him...
