KRISTIEN'S POV:

On reaching the station the first thing I did was to grab a drink. The weather was very hot. The long journey of 4hrs really exhausted me. This place is far from the city. I'm currently going to my mom friend's mother place, to enjoy the vacations. It's far from city in these rural areas where you can see japanese classic village aura. Grandma's house is on a hill that's what I was told. I have got the address and it's on the top of the hill. To be honest travelling alone wasn't a big deal for me since I have done it so many times. Now it's usual. I dragged my two luggages. Which were a bag full of clothes and some gifts for grandma. Making my way out of the station.

I first texted aunt on reaching there as I couldn't find her there. Little did I know that today I would get an experience of a desert survival. Let me tell you how.... I cheerfully texted her....

(Texting on Phone)

Me: Aunt Cass I'm here!

Aunt: So?🤔

Me: What do you mean SO?😑

Aunt: ?

Me: Don't tell me you are not at station! 😧

Aunt: Ok I won't tell...😂

Me: Aunt!!!!! Are your serious!?!?!😡 I have to climb up a whole hill! 😫😵

Aunt: Opps my bad🤭

Me: Atleast there should be a bus stand 😢

Aunt: ... 😬 there is none...

Me: What are you doing now?🤬

Aunt: Oh I'm comfortably lying and having a bowl of icecream 😜😂

Me: It's too much!😭

Me: Grandma won't spare you!

Aunt: Well if I tell her that you will come tomorrow so there won't be a problem 😏 And probably you will be coming tomorrow...😂

Me: Aaaghhh!!! 😡😵😫

So you see that's how it ended. I pretty much hate it when the joke is too far. But who am I to talk when I mixed sauce in a special icecream of hers, for which she waited for hours. Well I mean it was very funny as her reaction was priceless. So basically Aunt Cass or Cassidy Cloves is the youngest daughter. And my Aunt. Our relationship is like best friends we have a lot of fun and troubles together.

So back to present, I'm currently climbing this HUGE MOUNTAIN... just because of my Aunt's prank. And I'm pretty tired I finished my water bottles and the stairs seems endless! Do these people ever get down? Gasp* sigh* I was taking some breaths before I continue again. Seriously it has gone too far... I'm literally dying here. I was cursing Aunt Cass so bad while climbing. So after 1 and half hour, yes correct, I finally reached the TOP! But you know when I reached there it from a few distance I saw cables. And this made my anger to the sky. Can't she inform me that! The people near me were suprise to see me.

That was obvious since I was the first person in years to climb those legendary rock stairs and made a fool of myself. After this the only thing I was desperately searching was grandma's home.

And thank God! I found it. On seeing Grandma I was about to cry. And hugged her tightly. And then I reached my destination. I was so tired that I didn't even had the energy to say something to Aunt.

So yea that was my 'Warm Welcome'

TO BE CONTINUED....

KRISTIEN' POV:

It wasn't the first time spending time with grandma. It was first time when I came to her house. As expected her house was a traditional Japanese house. Those sliding doors and almost everything of woods. I was very excited since it was my first time seeing one. Those fields and having trees and plants surrounding the houses was beautiful in their way. Grandma has been visiting me since my childhood. I loved her company because my parents were so busy in thier work that they didn't had much time for me.

My mom is a great actress and singer. And my dad is a great bussiness man. Our company is top in the whole country. So I was genuinely expected to be great in everything. Which was a lot but I managed to do so. I am now an actress and idol. And soon going to manage family bussiness. Everything is great till now.

Back at present, Yea at night my Aunt got lectured. She deserved it though. I really was trying hard the whole time to control my laughter. But then she apologized to me. Our relationship is like sisters more than Aunt and niece. So everything was fine. After this the next day Grandma took me out for showing the whole village. She introduced me to her few friends. We went to temples, saw the fields and ate a lot of food and back to home.

The next day, grandma and I again went to temple for prayers. There we met her best friend who just came in village too. I looked infront of me....

I saw an old lady. She had a warm smile on her face. I greeted her bowing down. Grandma introduced me to her. She told me to call her grandma Manami. For some reason I think I saw her somewhere. She told us that she came here with her grandson, to show him the village. It didn't took them time to start there long conversations. We sat in one of those rock benches.

Grandma Manami was a very kind and cheerful lady, like my grandma. My grandma was sure having a great time I was happy too. Grandma Manami asked me I remembered her. I couldn't recognise her. Even though I knew I had seen or met her somewhere but I can't remember now. She told me it was ok since I was 13 when I saw her. It made me wonder.

They talked and I listened to them. But for me it started getting boring. I guess grandma noticed it. I was.trying my best to hide it but grandma knows me from my childhood it was very obivious for her to see. They told me to spend sometime with Grandma Manami's grandson. Well I was bored so I thought of checking out. I thought their grandson was a kid. And it was a long time since I played with a kid. I liked kids pretty much. It wouldn't take time for me to make a kid laugh. So I thought of going. She told her grandson was inside the temple. But I guess I had a wrong idea of her grandson being a kid.... Things didn't turned out the way I thought.....

TO BE CONTINUED....

KRISTIEN' POV:

I went to the temple removing my footwears. I wandered around searching for him. After few minutes I heard a voice. I immediately looked towards the room. I opened the door sliding it. I thought the kid was inside thier but I guess I was wrong. When I opened the door......

My eyes suddenly met a boy. And it was pretty sure the boy was not a kid. I could almost bump into him but I reacted fast and stopped that. Though we were very close. He had shining silver hair and a very handsome face. Those two beautiful pair of eyes were breath taking. I got away and apologized bowing down as tradition. I guess he didn't cared much. I didn't like that but I politely asked him if there was a kid wandering around. He said he didn't saw any kid. He told me there could not be a kid here because he was there from morning, and didn't saw one, replying in his cold voice.

But grandma told me, of course she would not be lying to me. I replied him "There is a kid here, his grandma is outside waiting for him." His face expression changed. Though before he seemed he would leave anytime. He asked me "Is an old lady asking?" I answered "Yea her grandson is wandering around the temple, so I came here to take care of him and play with him." He spoke in a little low and embarrassed voice " The- kid ... It's me." "What!" I said in suprise. "Uggh Grandma..." he sighed. "S-sorry I thought - But- you a kid" Gosh it is so embarassing. "Can you tell me where grandma is?" he asked me. He overcame the point fast while I was still stuck on it. "Y- yea follow me" I said leading the way to our dear grandmas.

On reaching there he spoke to his grandma "Grandma is this a way to call me... Like I mean a kid" Our grandmas started laughing. Grandma Manami said "Well aren't you a kid for us?" "But-" as he was going to spoke my grandma spoke "Since you 2 have met already let's go for filling our stomach." And it didn't took us time to follow these ladies lead. I saw Grandma Manami wispering something to his grandson.

I don't know but for some reason Grandma Manami and his grandson seems familiar like we have met before and they seem close. But I don't remember where I met a person who ate an iceberg. Like he is too arrogant. I nicknamed him "Mr. who at an Iceberg" secretly. We were heading to grab some snacks and probably talk again.

We took some snacks and again Grandma Manami and my grandma started thier conversation. While they chatted we sat there. To be honest there was an awkward silence between us. I didn't even knew his name, how am I suppose to talk?!? But I guess our grandmas have great expectations from us. But I guess it's gonna be way too awkward and I'm going to embarrass myself. Let's see what happens.....
