Family Lunch:

Auteuil,Paris:

William parked his car in the front yard of the Arthur house...The house seemed to be changed a lot in these past 12 months..I had never been with my family ever since I started AIR SKY..I entered the garden area.

The bonsai trees lined the perfect lawn in their wooden boxes. In the centre there is a pond as large as a small lake with flowering lily pads and a wooden bridge that crossed the middle so you could look down at the koi carp. The flower beds are a riot of May colour and even on close inspection they were weed-free.The stone path is punctuated with meadows after every stone. The dishevelled, un-manicured lawn and over shadowed by huge weeping willow flowing down onto the dank and squishy ground.

Woww..There is a circular lawn with a path around it. There is a central bed of shrubs. Outside of the lawn area are four rose bush beds to fill up the square area.

I entered the house.Oh ..I spotted my parents sitting under the Arbor and trellis landscape architecture..

"Mother,"I said amd went towards them.They prepared a wonderful lunch to have under this type of architecture..Looks nice-open framework, made of wood and shaped in an arch..

"WILLI,"my mother exclaimed in joy..She haven't met me in the past 6 months..

"Hello father",I said and sat in one of the chairs.

"HOW ARE YOU DOING,"my mother asked me..My father. I usual met often in his company AEROTECH..

"I'm good Mom,..But you look so young and a bit cheerful..The house have been altered..Nice Landscape architecture..",I said.

"Thanks to AMELLE ROSEVELT..She designed this to us",My Mom said.

The name seems to be familiar..,but I couldn't recognize..

"Its my cousin's wife. She is a landscape architecture.Have you forgotten ..The ROSEVELT FAMILY..MR.THEODRE ROSEVELT AND MRS. AMELLE ROSEVELT...Hey ROSEVELT HOSPITAL is the biggest HEALTHCARE CENTRE in our nation.. ..Your Grandfather is a friend of My cousin's father.."my Mom said..

Now I remember them..I met The ROSEVELT family..My grandpa used to go there and he used to took me along with him..

"Alas..Both of them are good person..But they lost their heir ..It's been four years..Let's leave that topic and focus on you ...my baby..",My Mom said..

"I think We should pay a visit to ROSEVELT family..It's been a long time since we went there Anne ..,"My father said..

"Ya ,sure ..I miss my cousin ..We can go and have a nice chat Victor,'"my Mom said.

"Let's have our lunch..Raphael..Where are you..Come ",My Mom called the housekeeper.He is a good guy and loyal to my mom..He is just 6 years older than me.

"How are you doing Mr.William,"Raphael asked me.

"I'm good .,"I said And started to dine.

Raphie served us Minestra d'orzo(barley soup),Caprese Salad with Pesto Sauce,Mushroom Risotto,Pasta Carbonara,Focaccia Bread and we finished with Tiramisu -The sweet combination of coffee, sweet mascarpone, and chocolate gives tiramisu its unique flavor. ..

"This is why I miss home food, A perfect Italian cuisine..,"I said.

"Why,you are having Alex right.. He will cook all kinds of cuisine better than our cooks ...,"My Mom said..

"When are you leaving for California William,"My father asked.

"Tonight father ,"

"What...you are not going to stay here..I called Alex this morning..He said he was packing your things..I thought you will be staying here in Paris..",My Mom said in sad tone.

"Mom,business is very important..,"I said .

"Raphie,Have you arranged my room,"I asked.

"Yes,Mr.Williams,"he replied..

"You are stressing yourself my poor child..Next time spend more time with me..Your father also goes to the company daily and I'm alone in the home,"My Mom grieved..

"I'm going by 10 ..So,I'm taking rest for sometime .Don't disturb me Mom,"I said and left ..

"What a child he is ..Not even respecting his mother.."Mrs.Anne said.

"Calm down Anne..,"Mr.victor said.

"I hope atleast he will change for his woman..",Mrs.Anne said.

"Stop blaming him..We are also one of the reasons for him to be like this..",Mr .Victor said and left for his office.

"Ahhhh.Again I'm left with myself...Raphie..Raphieeeee....,"Mrs.Anne called..

"Mrs.Anne,"Raphael came.

"Ask the staffs to clean this,"

"Yes..yes,"Raphie said..

"I'm having headache ..Come ..let's go to the deck and bring some lavender oil for relaxing,"Mrs.Anne said and left...

Mrs.Anne and Raphael went to the PERGOLA,an outside living area similar to ARBOR style..

"Hey,Raphie...Do you think William is okay..I mean if he is adjusted to the room or not..Maybe we should go and check..."

"Mrs.Anne ,you can directly tell that you want to talk to him,"Raphael said.

"You know him,He won't allow me if I say that,"Anne said amd both left to William's room..

I'm just checking my Mails before leaving to California..It's a month long trip..So I'm doing everything to make the company in order in my absence as Albert is also leaving with me..So,its Noah's job to be in my place during my absence..

"Hello",Noah answered my phone.

"I have sent the dossiers through mail,Check it and run the company well...If anything happens just call me..Okay",I said

"Sure,buddy",Noah replied.

"When I'm back,I want to see the new project to be finished..Ensure that.",

"Okay William,Have a safe and great trip"Noah finished and I disconnected the call.

I can see the movements of my Mommy through the window..I know her ,she will surely come and check me..And will find an excuse to talk to me..She is such a sweet person ,but she tries to control me ..I hate it that's why I left home..For her ,its care ..but to me it's control....

I went near the window and knock it ,so that they can see me..My Mom starts to pretend that they are just relaxing and stuff like that..

"Mom,I can see you..I told you I want to take rest,"

"I know baby..but what if you need something ..What if you feel the room is not good enough..So I come to check ,"My Mom said.

"Mom,dont think about having a conversation with me.."

"But I miss you William,"my mom said with grief..

"Its good that you are living with father.Im happy for that..",I replied.

"Its been years ..Can you just forgive me..Please After all I'm your Mother."

"Mom,Im really tired.Are you going or I will move out NOW,"

"Its okay,I will leave",My Mom said and left..

"Mrs.Anne.. Your kerchief..You need it now,"Raphael .

"Raphieeeee,Why can't he forgive me..So many years passed..I'm dying for his love..But both the son and the father never cared for me...,"Mrs.Anne cried.

At 7 pm,I come down to the living area..

"Willi honey,come let's have a dinner",My Mom called .

"I'm leaving .I will be having my dinner in the plane.Take care mother," and I left to the airport to board my private plane ..
