(Author’s POV)
"So, the three of you are going to the city mall today and will have dinner outside as well?" Sandra asked the girls while she served Yelena some spicy and savory vegetable pancakes. "Wendy, don’t you have an afternoon class scheduled for today?"
"Ummhmm~ Auntie, that’s the plan. We have tons of things to do, you know how it is. After finishing our classes, we will rush to the downtown area and browse some places. It will take us around one and a half hours or so to get there. Plus, I saw a social media post that said that there is a small concert, a live performance happening in the evening. Some mysterious celebrity is going to come. It will be packed with people. We might stay there to enjoy the show. So, it will take us time to get back here. And~ ... as for Wends~" her gaze landed on Wendy as the latter, with her mouth stuffed with pancakes, like a chipmunk, mumbled, "Ai ....al~le~ ady aaas~ke Prof. Gia~ll foh~ pur~meeshon."
Sandra smacked her shoulder lightly as she scolded her, "Eat what’s in your mouth before you speak, silly girl."
Myra, William and Yelena laughed as Yelena spoke on Wendy’s behalf, "She is saying that she has already talked to her Professor, Stefani Gill and taken permission."
"Yeah, she has already sent me the material for today’s class. We have to draw a basic sketch of someone unknown, like someone we haven’t met before. A new person. So, I can just think of this shopping trip as my research," Wendy winked at her mother as she added.
"Ohh~ ...... okay, whatever you say. But don’t stay out too late and return after having dinner, hmmm. The outside world is dangerous. It is not safe, especially for you, pretty girls," Sandra gave all of them a stern warning.
Yelena puffed out her chest with pride and patted while uttering, "Don’t worry, Sandra Miracle, your daughters and her otherworldly beautiful friend will be safe in my presence. I will be acting as their bodyguard. After all, I practice martial arts. If someone tries to act smart with us, I will be able to use my weapon. It will help me in honing my skills. I will K.O. them. You can trust me, fair lady." As she finished her words, her chin raised upwards, like a proud mare.
"No need to get yourselves into danger, uhh~" William reminded. "Give us a call if something happens. Don’t act irrationally."
"Ohhoo~ ...... we simply can’t do that, Uncle William. We don’t want to disrupt your alone time with Aunt," Yelena teased William, giving him a meaningful expression as she added, "Maybe you guys can have a romantic candlelight dinner on the rooftop, do some adult stuff later on, and give Myra and Wendy one more sibling. Ahhaaa~ ... a teeny tiny, grain sized baby. It would look sooooooo cute."
"A baby, when delivered, isn’t the size of a grain," Myra added. "But it would be cute, indeed."
Listening to their chaffing words, both William’s and Sandra’s faces turned tomato red. They were blushing profusely as Sandra bashfully quoted, "Don’t be silly. Myra and Wendy are enough for us. And ~ ahem ahem ... we~ are ...... too old for that stuff."
"Don’t be shy, madam. The times have changed, we won’t judge," Yelena grinned after saying that. "What do you say, Uncle?"
William blushed and remarked, "We surely can give it a try."
"Ahaaa~ ...... that’s the spirit, handsome young man. I am rooting for you guys," Yelena was at it again. Her words were full of excitement and zeal.
"Okay, okay, enough. Tone down your teasing, will you, girls? And seriously, if something does happen, call us immediately," William spoke. His voice was full of conviction.
"Dad, I will ring you for sure," Myra assured him, then only William seemed satisfied.
"Ohh~ .... Damn .... I will be late," Wendy looked at the time and made a run for it. Yelena and Myra, too, were done with their breakfasts. So, they also got up and departed from the house.
Myra and Yelena sauntered towards the main campus. As they neared it, both of their phones buzzed with a notification tone.
They looked at each other as a knowing smile crept up on Yelena’s lips, as she commented, "There can only be one person who will ping us at the same time."
Myra knew exactly who Yelena was talking about as they checked their phones simultaneously. And surely enough, the message was from the person they suspected. It was none other than Fabian who had texted in their group chat, "Hey, how are you two?
Yelena texted back, "What’s up? Why with the formal tone? Aren’t you busy?"
Fabian replied in a jiffy, "I am but I just thought~ ... on checking up on how you both are?"
