18 Let me pamper him

           Mrs. Smith winked to Miss Fue and she understood. She immediately booked a private cabin in the best restaurant of the city. After, sometime, they left for the restaurant.

          As they arrived, Ronnie was very much excited. He always wanted to eat in these types of fancy restaurant, but his mother always took him to the small restaurant near their home.As they reached there Mrs. Smith ordered food as per everyone's taste.

            She was very happy to speak with Ronnie. He was a very cute and smart boy. Generally he didn't like to speak with any stranger. But today it was an exceptional case that he was talking so freely with Mrs. Smith. Zinu was feeling uneasy.

            She wanted to scold Ronnie, who was speaking nonstop, but could not by seeing the expression on Mrs. Smith's face.She was also enjoying the company of this little kid.

            After sometime, the food arrived. Everything look very much tasty. They started eating.Zinu wanted to help Ronnie to eat, but Mrs. Smith didn't allow her to do so.

"Zinu, do you know? I like little kids. I am asking my grandson to marry and give me a great grand kid, but he never listened. God knows, when he would find his love and give me a great grand child. By the way, you haven't told me , when did you come to this city? You were in city X that time. Isn't it? "

Zinu replied, "Yes grandma. I had shifted here five and half years back. My mother needed change. So I shifted here. And what about you? "

"My house is in this city itself. That day I went there to meet one of my friend. " Mrs. Smith replied.

Mrs. was feeding Ronnie. She took a piece of Mushroom from her bowl and placed it in the plate of Ronnie. 

,"Grandma, I am sorry but Ronnie is allergic to mushrooms. "Zinu saw it and said.

"What! I mean kids love to eat mushrooms. So I shocked. " Mrs Smith frown. How it can be possible? John and Ronnie both have same eyes, hairs, other facial expressions and now allergic to mushrooms. Is it a mare coincidence? Oh God! How much I hoped to get a great grandson like Ronnie. I have to know who is his father.But how? I can't ask them directly. I have to spend more time with them. I may be got a chance to ask them.

"Granny! are you fine? what happened? Why are you lowering your head? " Mrs. Smith come to senses by Ronnie's words .

"So, Ronnie, who is good singer in your family? Your father or your mother? " She asked tactfully.

Ronnie replied, "My mother is a good singer, but my second grandma is the best. She taught me songs. Do you know, she will gift me a bicycle tomorrow. She promised me to gift me one if I would receive the award for best student. " Ronnie replied excitedly.

Mrs.Smith smiled and asked, "And what do you want me to gift you. You deserve a good gift from me. You won the prize and also sang the song so nicely. "

           Zinu wanted to say something, but before she could say anything she heard Ronnie, "My mother used to say that I must not take anything from any stranger. But we have our lunch just now. So we are no longer stranger. So, I can take a gift from you.Right mom? " He asked innocently. Zinu rubbed her forehead.

"No Ronnie. You should not. You should thank granny for this grand lunch. Now we should leave."

             Mrs. Smith took Ronnie hand like a protective mother.

"No Zinu. He deserves a gift from my side. He is such a nice kid. Let me take him to the nearby shopping mall. You should not feel shy. I told you. I like kids. And Ronnie is such a darling. Let me pamper him."

              Zinu frown. Now Zinu was feeling helpless in front of this old lady. She knew if she reject her offer than Mrs. Smith would be hurt. But, how could she took anything from a person, to whom she hardly met twice. May be Mrs. Smith had read her mind.

 "See Zinu, although I am almost unknown to you, but we at least met twice. I said that I like kids.Only If my grandson was married he could be able to give me dozens of great grand kids. But alas! I want to buy something for little kids. Please Zinu. " She requested with puppy eyes. Now how can Zinu reject her?

"ok."

              As they heard her reply both of them squealed. Zinu smiled. Both of them looked adorable together.

              After half an hour they were in a shopping mall. Mrs. Smith and Ronnie started to sort out everything they liked. From clothes to video game, comics. toys, shoes everything. Zinu saw them helplessly and protested time to time. But they both did not cared her protest.

              So, in the end of the day they have got a lots of shopping bags. Mrs. Smith had to call her security guard and gave the the bags and address of Zinu to deliver the items. After long shopping they both got tired and sat on the couch of the mall, like zombie.
