Family

1968 Words
Hi kitties Nicole “What am I supposed to do now?” I asked myself as I looked around the house and saw maids doing the work. I am feeling bored after not doing anything at home. Wait ... .This is not a home, actually it is a mansion and it is so big that maids are definitely required, so here every work is done by the maids only, which leaves me with nothing. I don’t even have a job to go back to. Before getting married, I had to leave that job and both Ben and Eros were given the responsibility for that. I sighed. They are still kids. By the way, I just do the cooking which I love the most, though they are still objects, as they fear that someday Steven will find out about me working in the kitchen, then they will lose their job, but I still push them away and do the cooking. After all, who wants to be bored to death, but right now that situation is mine. Then I got an idea and decided to call my family. I looked around for my phone but found it in front of me. I picked it up and dialed a number. They pick up the phone after a few rings. "Hello. How are your sis?" Eros said and I smiled. It is like it has been years since I have heard his voice. "I am fine champ. What about you and others?" I asked back. "Everyone is fine. It's just everyone is missing you a lot too." He said. I could feel each of his words from the last statement. "I know that because I am also missing you guys like hell. And it is only one week, but it feels like a hundred years have already passed. I will try my best to visit you guys soon." I said. "Yeah." He shouted and I chuckled a bit. We all siblings have become so close to each other that even if one feels joy, then it is joy for everyone, but if even one is hurt, everyone feels sad. And there was silence for a few seconds which confused me for a bit. "Here sis, Grandpa wants to talk to you." He added. I replied okay. "Hello Angel," Grandpa said and for a moment I was zoned out and then shook my head, even though I hear this often, yet it makes me wonder around every time I hear it. I recovered from that fast. "Hello Grandpa. How are you?" I asked him excitedly. I just love him beyond the moon along with my siblings. "I am fine as you can hear me fit and fine." I chuckled and he joined me. "I can hear you, Grandpa. Fit and fine" I said with a smile. "Angel, I want to ask you something?" His tone was normal but also serious. Now I was kind of scared. What was he going to ask? That was roaming in my mind. "Yes Grandpa." My voice reflected that I was confused or nervous but was also ready to hear his question and that is why I said that even though I was debating inside what it would be. "How is your relationship going on with Steven?" That's it. It was like an atom bomb that was dropped on me. Because even the mention of Steven doesn't sound good to my ears. He is just rude and arrogant or maybe more. I literally don't want to talk about that i***t person who is my husband and is full of himself. I was debating what to tell him but knowing that there is no point in lying about the thing which will eventually fall. " The relationship with him is not good at all and I think it will never be, because we are not even on speaking terms. When we are not communicating, then I don’t think that there will be any room for development. Then how will our relationship work? I think it is going to collapse." I told him honestly. "OH! I thought that you guys might have developed some familiarity by now, but here everything is the opposite." He said and I was searching for the words to say. My tongue was twisted and none of the words could be formed. "Now listen to me Angel," he said. It was more serious than the previous time he used it. "I am listening." I said and my back was straight automatically, as if I am in an army and as soon as I am provided with the command, I had to follow that. " If you guys are not on speaking terms, then it will never cause the fall of the wall which is creating between you guys. If he is not ready to talk, then you start to talk or else, it will be like two strangers living under the same roof." He said and chuckled and I just smiled." Listen Angel, even those strangers will know each other soon and will have a relationship between them. You have to work on this relationship. I know that you didn't want to marry him, but how long would you be alone? You also need someone by your side and I think that Steven could be the one. Now, that is your home and this is also your home. These two families you have to handle. You are strong, kind-hearted and intelligent like your father. He would be proud to see you. But for now, make me proud of you by handling both the houses." A tear slipped from my eyes when he mentioned my father. I quickly wiped it away. I don't want these tears to show up and show my weakest point. "I will make you proud, Grandpa, and that's my promise and you know how much I keep my promise" I said. "I know that. For a single promise, you can also fight with death." I chuckled and he joined me. I looked at the time and realized that it was his medicine time. "Okay Grandpa, now it is time for you to take your medicine as well. Bye and take care. I will try and visit you guys soon." I smiled. "Bye Angel. I will wait for you." He said. I sighed. I leaned back on the sofa and thought about that name Angel. I ain’t any angel. I don't want anyone to call me 'Angel'. I allow Grandpa because he loves that name and likes to call me that only because it was given to me by my father or else I am Nicole. But how long will I hide my identity? That I am not Nicole but Angela, Angela Miller. Nicole is my middle name. Dad always said that I am like an angel to him, that's why he named me Angela. I smiled at that thought and looked at the time. It was 10 o'clock at night. Everyone had gone back to their quarters. I was feeling sleepy. I went towards my room and found it dark and empty. I thought about my grandfather's words. Will it really work out? I did my night routine and went to fall asleep. ******** I woke up and noticed that today was Sunday. That means, until I have to go outside, I can be in my PJ. I love them. They are more comfortable than anything else. Even if a guest comes, I am not going to change. I am kind of stubborn on Sunday. If I were at my home, then me and my siblings would love to play football, basketball etc. But here I can't play with anyone else.After all, I can’t ask that arrogant…..no, no….my husband to play with me. He seemed busy all day. I got up from bed and brushed my teeth and took a shower and again wore my PJ. My PJs were okay, they were neither old nor new. I come downstairs and go straight to the kitchen and again that maid tries to stop me. "What is your name?" I asked her. "My name is Eva, Ma'am," She said and bowed a little. "Hi, my name is Nicole. And you can call me Nicole. No restrictions on calling me Nicole. And don't worry, I will cook, you can do other work." I said to her, "But ma'am…" I looked at her. " Nicole, I can do that, no need to worry." She said, "No, I will do it and you go do other work," I said, and she nodded. I said before that I am a stubborn kid. Nothing can change me. My food was ready and from the kitchen I just started to eat and saw my dear husband. He looked handsome, which I noticed today. But this beauty can't attract Nicole. But he was kind of tense so I decided to ask him. I asked him what happened and he was like ‘why do you care?’ "Why are you tense?" I asked him. I think he doesn't seem to be interested in talking with me. "None of your business" He said to me. He again came into his arrogant side. Can't he throw it away for a good few minutes? But me being me, I looked at his expression, which was like an open book. He is so easy to read. "But your face doesn't say that. It is saying someone is coming and you are tense about it", I asked him and he was kind of shocked, and he may be thinking I am an astrologer, and I cleared his doubt. "Stop thinking stupid things. Where do I look like an astrologer? I am reading your face, which is like an open book, nothing else. I am a normal person like you and others," I said, and took a bite of my food. Then he said that his family was coming. I thought I had heard wrong, but damn I heard right. I was happy and wanted to do something but the devil in front of me had refused me. We had an argument and normal talks and he was too stubborn to tell me about his love and he asked me the same thing. So I answered him and told him that I was not at all interested in falling in love. Then we heard the doorbell and a maid opened the door and it revealed Steven's family. He was so happy. I was happy too. But I became sad suddenly as I remembered that I had lost everything that I once had. But one thing stuck in my mind. Even if I am not near to you and will be far from you, then see in your heart we will all be present there. Those words were from my father. I smiled a bit and saw that Sr. Mr. Collins had come towards me and hugged me and I gave him a warm smile. I called him Mr. Collins. But he told me to call him Grandpa. I smiled. I was thinking that I had a family. But expect Sr. Mrs. Collins. No one was looking in my direction and Sr. Mrs. Collins also gave me permission to call her grandma and a boy looked at me who looked exactly like his father. He may be Steven’s brother. He had seen me but again returned to his family. No one knows where my family is and I am an orphan that I will not tell the world and not let them say to me as well. Because I have built up my family and I am their only strength. I will fight and will always be the winner of every game. Because my family is in my heart.
