" You wanna leave your sweet grandma here and run away with that carpenter, is that what you are planning to do ? huh ? huh ? HUUH ? ", the breathy voice of Latha's grandmother could be heard throughout the entire highway when she gets mad. Bradman closed his car door carefully, making sure all the openings of the car was closed as the little snakeys, insects and other creating freely roamed around the place. He walked on the well grown, emerald green grass and pressed the bell. *Ding Dong* " Miss. Latha ? I'm Bradman and I'm here for a small enquiry". The door slowly opened. The person stood in front of me was a lady in her 80's with a double barrel gun. " What do you want ?", asked the wrinkled lips. Even though the lady was in her 80's, her aim was nothing less than the centre of my forehead and those eyes were sharply fixed on mine. " Gramma ! What are you doing ? ", a lady tried to pull her back. But the young lady couldn't even move her grandmother an inch as her legs stood unshaken like a huge pine tree. (*Steps back*) " Whoa ! Whoa ! Easy mam ", she took me completely unguarded and all he could do was to convince her with my name tags and ID card. Luckily it worked.

He's probably here for an enquiry ", said the young lady as she rolled her eyes. " So you are Latha ", asked the cop. She nodded and asked her grandmother to go to her room again. " Are you trying to send me away ? Planning to run away with this guy ? ", asked the grandmother. (*Yells*) " No, I'm not. Fine, I'll go out to the police station. " " Aawwww ! I get it. In the name of enquiry, you are planning to run away at my back right ? ". (*Sighs*) " Officer, shall we discuss about this some other say ", requested the lady in an exhausted tone. (*Raises brows*) " Yes ! Yes ! Because I might become aware of your plans isn't Latha ? ", said the grandmother before the officer could open his lips. Latha massaged her forehead and came up with something to send away her gramma. " Okay, you stay here and I'm going to make something to drink ", Latha walked towards the kitchen. (*Yells*) " Stop ! Right ! There ! I'll make something ". " Why do you bother ? I'll make something ".
