A fool..

"Where're you now?" Salai asked in a serious tone.

"Under the banyan tree of Aunt's neighbourhood." Ngamba replied calmly.

"When did you come back? Didn't you say you'll be here in 2 days?!" Wangthoi asked surprisingly.

They were in call conference.

"This brat! Can't you tell us that you'll be here today?" Salai angrily said.

"You guys tricked me to return and here I am. Now what?" Ngamba said.

"Still you should've told us,Mr Cold." Wangthoi said.

"Yeah yeah Mr Mastermind. I knew it was you who make up the story of grandpa's illness." Ngamba said as he clicked a photo.

"Aunty was the mastermind. But how can you come when we're away? Are you trying to run away again?" Wangthoi said.

Salai also added,"Are you planning to stay away from home forever?"

Ngamba sighed and said,"Just enjoy your trip. Tell machoubi too, I'm not leaving. Dad has already completed the transfer paper."

Salai and Wangthoi suddenly laughed loudly.

Then Salai said,"I guess you got no choice this time. You-heartless-fellow. But you sure you won't run away like last year."

Ngamba was about to say something then Wangthoi interrupted,"Yeah. I still have grudge against you. How dare you leave without joining my birthday?"

Then Salai said teasingly,"Don't worry, this time I'm going to find a girl for you so that you can't leave here."

"Shut up. You guys are annoying." Ngamba said in a pissed tone.

While Salai and Wangthoi were suppressing their laugh.

"Excuse me..." A gentle voice sounded from the back of Ngamba. He turned around, it's a girl.

She gave an angelic smiled and said by pointing at his back,"There's something on your back."

Ngamba looked at his back but couldn't reached it.

So the girl come a little closer and took the piece of paper from his back. She then gave it to him and said"Maybe some kids put it. There are lot of mischievous kids in the neighbourhood."

Ngamba looked at the paper.

"I'm a fool, lost in this materialistic world." This was written in the paper.

He looked at the girl and just said 'Oh.'

The girl smiled at him and left from there.

"Hey, i heard a girl's voice. Who was she?'' Wangthoi asked. They were still in call.

"What was that about?" Salai also asked.

Ngamba replied,"Nothing. I'm hanging up. I'll call you later."

He hung up the phone after he said this.

While on the other side Leina thought,"What a cold man! Doesn't even know to say thank you. Ah! Whatever!"

She then chuckled and said,"Serves him right. A fool lost in materialistic world."

Ngamba looked at the notes again and said,"Seriously..a fool?"

At living room

"Tamo!" Loya happily rushed towards Ngamba.

Ngamba flicked Loya's forehead and said,"Don't run around."

Loya gave a broad smile at him and asked,"How was the journey? I really miss you."

It's been 5 years since Ngamba left home for abroad to study. Loya loved and respected his elder brother alot. He was so happy to see his brother.

Ngamba smiled at him.

Then Mia said,"Your brother must be tire. Let him rest first then we'll talk later."

"Dad and grandpa?" Ngamba asked Mia.

"How can you suddenly change your plane's schedule?" Mia looked at Ngamba and said. "They will be here soon."

"Seems like Ngamba know we tricked him as he directly come here." His uncle winked at Ngamba and said.

Mia gave a cold gazed at Rohit.

Ngamba smiled at them.

Then Mia turned to Ngamba and said,"Let me take you to your room, my dear nephew."

She then turned to their helper and said,"AuntyLin, please bring a glass of juice for Ngamba"

" I will bring it! " Loya suddenly said.

All of them laughed at his behaviour but Ngamba just smiled.

At dinner

"Shouldn't you be lying on bed, old man?" Ngamba said as he poured his water.

"This brat! Are you unhappy that I'm not lying on bed?" His grandfather, Rajen looked at him and said.

"Kind of. But you must be happy that I'm back." Ngamba replied calmly.

Then he said softly,"Why do you call me to return when you have two grandsons with you?"

"Are you planning to stay away from home forever? It has already been 5 years since you haven't come home." Rajen said.

Then he added,"I want all my grandsons to stay with me."

" Ok I understand. It was a joke." Ngamba said.

Then Rajen said,"Then can you joke with a smile next time. Don't always put that straight face."

Ngamba then gave a forced smile.

Everyone sitting for the dinner laughed at grandpa and grandson's talk.

This time Ngamba gave a smile at his grandpa.

Then Korou turned to Ngamba and said,"Are you planning to stay here? You aren't staying at home?"

Ngamba replied,"Yeah.."

Rajen sighed and said," Fine we've no problem with you staying here but I don't want you to stuck in the past."

Ngamba stated silent for some seconds.

"I'll visit you, grandpa." Ngamba said,"I just wanna stay in a quiet place."

"Yeah,it's only four of us and the surrounding here is more quite and peaceful." Rohit said.
