The Rainy day

" Millie, I got the permission to go ,we can spend the weekends together. I thought we will talk through the whole night , and do star gazing. It will be a lot of fun. What do you say. " 

" yup , but don't you think that we should do something else. Like go to the origami paper carnival that aunty Ann told us previously. "

" We talked to spend the weekend together at your home and not going to the carnival. Forget it. "

   " Don't you say like that Sel, you heard aunty Ann right, she said there are so many games and competitions. Do not do that, it can be good right. 

  " We will enjoy ourselves. " 

" I can not say , I am not sure, we will talk about it later. " 

" Here, we come, Hello aunty Mary . 

   " How are you ? " 

" I am fine, Sel, how are you doing. "

" I'm fine aunty Mary,  but why you did not deliver the daily milk today…" 

" Ohh… yeah… we didn't do the deliveries today at all…. coz our worker didn't came out today at work . 

" Oh  , that is why you could not deliver the things  , Sel said. 

" Yup,  we could not do the deliveries of most of the houses today , " she said. 

" But , didnt you know that he would not come to work previously  ? `` Millie asked.

" OH,  no, we didn't know it previously and he didn't tell us before,  usually he doesn't do this. I don't know why he didn't come today. " 

" It's okay aunty Mary,  it happens when you work continuously. And today it's raining  too. By the way, can you give me the morning milk of today, mom has sent me to get it from here,  " Sel said. 

" Ah,  yaa, sure,  you wait, you just wait for a moment,  I will get it for you," Aunty Mary went to get the things back for them. 

Aunty Mary is by the way a German by birth, having golden hair and whitish look but old like in her forties by appearance. She moved here with her country men husband who went far for the business,  and later get settled here with him. She is intellectual, bold and speaks many languages. 

        He also runs the farm here, produces dairy products in his own farm and make a small living ,  although they two just lives alone here. 

" Here is your milk and the change is in the bag itself. "  

 " thank you, aunty Mary. Have a great day."

" You too. " 

They took off the things from the dairy shop and went back to the way of her home..

Riding on the streets , not the thing that they never did,  they are doing it since childhood together and now that it has become a habit to pace down in the streets. they are really good at it… n habitual…  talking like this by making a sync with each other, not just with lips ... but with the mind ... but with the hands as well…. 

" So, what are we doing after you deliver the things to your mom, where will we go…. " Millie asked her excitingly. 

" let's see I have not thought about it yet. " 

" come on, Lacy,  Do not say like that. You know I do not like to be bored. " 

" Ha ha….  Well let us see… ." 

*Two villagers talking …..

" Did you hear…about that guy… he said he heard screams  in that abandoned forest near the bridge, early morning , when he was going for the work…..

" Yup , I did …. I have heard many people around there , near the river , telling these kind of things a lot …..   Some say that they saw someone and some say they heard screams of someone during the nights …." 

" Isn't it so chilly… " ? 

" what do you think , would it be true  ? " 

     " I don't know but I do not believe this kind of rumours very often … " 

" Yep, no one really knows anything about that forest . " 

The two girls listened to their conversation…

" Sel , Did you hear them. " 

" Yaa,  I heard them… and it's all fake… C'mon , people like to make these kind of stories a lot in our village … we are listening to these kind of  stories from when we were children….." 

         " Come on,  we are listening to these things since we were young,  how could it be that everything's fake… " .

 Millie likes the mysteries and adventures a lot  , so she is very interested in these type of things , related to ghosts and mysteries . So she always tries to investigate the things in her own ways. 

" right ,  you are always right huh , but could it be that this is the same man who works for aunty Mary.. This is possible , right… " 

    " you think so much… what it has to do if he is the same person who is aunt Mary's worker… . We got nothing to do with it.. " 

" yaa… but… " 

" No Buts ….  just stop thinking so much… " let's hurry home…and it seems to be raining a little today  too . " 

   " OK , you are the boss… " 

reached Sel's home 

" Here we are at your house,  let's go get the things first... " Millie gets in the house by taking the things in a hurry. More excited than the Sel  was herself. 

" Aunty, we are home , we bought your things, " Millie said. 

" oh, you got my things back , thank you so much , " Hello Millie , " her mom said. 

" yes , Good morning,  aunty, we got your things from the store , you hurry check the things first, then we will leave,  " Millie said .

" Wait, you guys  reach out just now and now want to leave… what's the hurry…why don't you guys go ,  after having the afternoon lunch … what's say Millie ," her mom said with the intention of letting them stay till the afternoon. 

" no , no,  aunty it's no need ... we can have lunch at my place ...what's say Sel….. " 

*Sel Unable to say anything…. 😅

" Sel is having lunch here….. You stay too. Come on in. " 

*Restricted to the Sel's home by her mom..

" You guys can wait in the Sel's room upstairs or you can play something until lunch gets ready…. Okay…", her mom says by leaving for the kitchen with her things. 

They both went upstairs and with blank faces, looking to each other. They have to spend the time till the afternoon lunch gets ready in the Sel's home. And it's not like they do not like being here but it's a kind of uneasiness they feel when they are here. 

*Meanwhile it started raining in a while .. ☔ 

" Look,  we have been trapped here, by your mom, and we can not do anything now. We are supposed to spend the time at me home.. my plan is ruined.. " sobbing down with the genuine tears of helplessness…..

poor Millie ….. 🙄

" tell me why didn't you say anything there … you could just say a yes when I asked  hmm…." 

" come on, how could I say like that… I can not refuse mom.  You know that right …" 

" tell me, what do we do now that we are being trapped here… just because of your foolishness… ." saying loudly by making an angry face .

" it is OK, we are here for the lunch, do not act like we are trapped in by  a ghost or something, it is absolutely fine, " Sel said, sitting in a corner in her chair and trying to read a book. 

" Oh, I don't  really know what to do now , I am getting bored ,"  complaining by rolling down on the bed.

      " Come on Millie, Do not bore yourself like this, you can try like reading a book or maybe you can play with my doll or teddy… or you like to play something until we get outside to hang out. "  trying to distract Millie and not getting her bored , thereby suggesting different ideas, the whole few she can get. 

" yeah….  We can play something…  right… so let's play… .what should we play… , getting excited instantly she asked Sel. 

" Well,  we can play anything you say… you suggest… what to play…" Sel said. 

Sel does not really like to play anything , like adventures or which involves Risks  … she has had her reasons for it…. may be coz she thinks she is not bold or that she has not enough courage ...   She does not know her real self till now and what her capabilities are..... ✨

May be Coz she hasn't given herself a chance yet.....
