22: Going??

I somehow convienced my two bodyguards whose names were Nishan and Tanmoy (I asked Dad, to avoid awkward silences andapparently even they weremy age) to advise Dad and Jack to allow Hardin and me to travel in a separate car.

Dad allowed us in a separate car but Ange and Victor had to go along with us. I rolled my eyes. Victor sat opposite me in the car, Hardin was besides me and Ange sat besides Victor. Nysa who was still angry on Victor didn't tag along and went with Mom ,Pliny and Aunt in one car while Dad, Sam,Uncle and Jack went in another car along. Each car had two bodyguards and one driver. The guards were in the front passenger seats. Samuel had got his scooter. First, Samuel left then, Dad's car left then the one we were in, then Mom's.

Hardin caught my hand which I had kept on the side. Ange smiled at me teasingly. Gosh, today's day is so awkward. Everywhere awkward silences. I looked out the whole time, I didn't want to make eye contact with Victor. There were so many tall buildings. The drive was of 15 minutes back home but then from the main gate to the house it took additional 10 minutes which were mostly trees afterall the house or should I say mansion was on a hill and I had not noticed that the first time because I was too excited.

I proceeded to step out of the car but the timing of me and Victor getting off was in sync so I banged my already injured head to the roof of the car. Victor just went near Nysa who saw me banging my head and pinched him. Hardin who couldn't walk, hurriedly came with his walking stick near me. Dad was discussing something with the others so no one noticed that I banged my head. Hardin called Dad, Dad told Tanmoy and Nishan to get me inside my room and change the bandage.

Dad kissed my forehead and said " Honey, be good, me and mum are going for an important business along with Jack and Pliny to the neighbouring country right now, Please take care and also go and visit your grandparents, they were very worried. Your aunt and uncle unfortunately also cannot stay as they are also needed, Ange will be there and since Jack and Pliny are going with me, I'm afraid even Hardin and Victor will be here." I nooded.

The drivers left with cars and another driver got a limousine to drive to the airport." Wait don't you need to pack and stuff??" I asked. Mom giggled like a small child I and said " Honey, our things are always ready to go. We only need to buy your aunt's and uncle's things".I smiled knowing that even uncle and aunt would be happy that my Mom and Dad still care for them. They got into the car and I waved them goodbye from the entrance of the house.

They were hardly out of sight when Sam and Samuel (still with the scooter helmet) shouted in sync " PARTY TIME!!!! "

Mom gave a call on Ange's phone and told her to put it on loudspeaker and said " If I come to know that there was a party in my house then God help me and you, you both will be grounded along with Victor for the remaining holidays" and cut the call after thanking Ange in an angelic voice. We all giggled and went in the house.

Ange and Nysa were in the guest room opposite my room but on the other side of the corridor. Sam and Samuel were in their rooms and Hardin and Victor were given the ground floor guest room next to my grandparents due to Hardin's injury.

While Tanmoy re-bandaged my head in a messy and tight way, Nishan came along and added to the mess. Thanks a lot guys.

I asked them to stop and bandaged it myself. It's not practical. My hands started hurting. I asked Tanmoy to tell the cook to get me some light food and some salad while Nishan started looking at my undone diary. I had kept the photos in the diary but couldn't complete it because of them.

I went downstairs to visit my grandparents with Nishan following me like a father when his baby is taking her first steps. Tanmoy saw me coming down the stairs and stood at the end stair like a butler.

I came down the stairs in a slow motion to tease them both. I was laughing at myself. I entered the room and saw that....
