"Hmm, had your dinner ,"Adele asked.
"Not yet ,was caught up in some work, "Dante replied.
"Its past 10, its unhealthy to skip dinner,"Adele said in a concerned tone.
"Are you worried about me, "Dante smugly asked.
"No, you have mistaken,"Adele quickly replied embarrassingly.
Adele was someone who was not bothered by other's wellbeing but don't know what happened as he mentioned that he had not yet had his dinner her first instinct was uneasiness.
Even she could not understand why she was being drawn to him in spite of only knowing him for a few days and that too his identity remained kind of mystery.
"You mean to say you don't care about me ,"Dante teased her.
"I have to go ,"Adele cut the call abruptly ,she could hear his laughter and that frustrated her.
She always kept her emotions in check and except for her birth identity nothing could shake her. Dante was always hot and cold with her ,making her feel every emotion intensely.
Finally it was the weekend and Adele had gone to Remi's annual function .Hudson was already waiting for her with two passes in his hand.
As usual Hudson was dressed eye catchingly that all gave him a second glance and he was standing there not giving a damn about anyone.
"Finally you are here ,I thought you will ditch me giving some last minute excuse ,"Hudson stated.
"I gave my word to Remi ,how can I miss his performance ,"Adele rolled her eyes.
"Here ,have this drink .I will check whether they are allowing us inside ,"Hudson handed her a bottle and went away.
Someone collided with her and all their belongings fell down on the ground so Adele bent down to help them.
"Here ,take it,"Adele was putting the things in the basket when suddenly the old lady held her wrist tightly.
"Amara ,my child .Where have you been all this time ,"the old lady's face became pale as if she had seen a ghost.
"You have got the wrong person ,"Adele tried to free her hand but the old lady had no intention of leaving her .
"oh dear ,how can I not recognize you .I watched you growing up do you think so easily I would forget you ,"the old lady's face softened probably remembering the old times.
"Are you still with…,"the old lady was interrupted by a young man.
"Gradma ,how many times I have told you not to wander alone .I can't even leave you a second alone ,don't you remember what happened last time ,"the young man growled.
"I was hungry so came to buy a sandwich,"the grandma replied guilty.
"You could have told me ,I had to call the cops when you went missing last time ,"the young man hissed in irritation.
"I went to visit my old house ,"the grandma justified.
"Enough now ,lets go ,"the young man noticed his grandma holding Adele.
"No ,I just met Amara .I need to talk with her ,"the old lady panicked.
"I'm Adele ,not Amara ,"Adele hissed.
"Grandma ,looks like you have not taken your medicine today .Didn't the doctor warn you the side effects will be like this ,"the young man separated his grandma from Adele.
"I'm really sorry on her behalf because of her deteriorating health she behaves like this ,"the young man sincerely apologized .
"No issues ,"Adele nodded.
"You all treat me like a fool ,I am telling you its Amara ,"the old lady argued.
"Let's go from here before I lose my patience ,"the young man glanced at Adele once and then dragged his grandma.
Adele rubbed her wrist which had turned red to the old lady's strong grip.
"She is Amara ,it's the same face ,"the old lady left on murmuring something along the lines.
Adele was really confused by the old lady's strange behavior .Not only she was calling her by a different name by seemed pretty much confident in doing so .But her grandson also mentioned that she is suffering from ill heath so maybe she is hallucinating.
Adele chose to believe the latter and decided to push this event aside and waited for Hudson to come.
"We can go inside now ,it's quite cold you can have my jacket ,"Hudson tried to remove his jacket .
"No need ,I have my own ,"Adele took out one from her bag.
The event started and everything was so colorful ,the children were performing so cutely that even their unsynchronized movements made the audience laugh.
As Remi's came on stage he first searched for his parents then for Adele as he found everyone he was looking a smile curled on his face .He performed exceptionally well and Adele clapped loudly at the end of the skit.
"He is so outstanding ,"Hudson said in awe.
"Agree ,"Adele said proudly.
Adele did not hear her phone ring because of the noise ,it was none other than Dante calling her.
Finally the event ended and Remi ran towards Adele and hugged her.
"Adele ,how did I perform,"Remi asked fishing for compliments.
"Wow ,you were so good .You delivered your dialogues so smoothly and confidently ,"Adele pulled his cheeks.
"Thank you ,"Remi stated shyly.
"Remi always sings praises of you . If you don't mind I want to take a picture of you two ,"Remi's mother requested.
"Sure ,no issues ,"Adele smiled.
"I can join too ,"Hudson as usual tried to get involved with Adele.
Before she could reply Remi beat her and screamed yes. Hudson's carefree personality made him easily bond with Remi.
Remi stood in front of Adele while her hands were placed on his shoulders . Hudson put his arm around Adele and dragged her closer and when Adele glared at him indicating to remove his hand he pretended not to understand anything.
"Come on look at the camera and smile ,"Hudson pointed out.
Remi's mother took few photos and after a brief chit chat session everyone dispersed.
Adele checked her phone to see three missed calls from Dante .Thinking it may be something important she called him back but it straight went to voicemail.
