Kelvin Kyle was silent.

"Kel,why are you not saying anything?" James became impatient.

​​

"What do you want me to say?"

"You know what I want you to say."

"I need to go, James.If she regains her sense,let me know." Kelvin Kyle left.

James sighed a long breath .For their one mistake many innocent lives are now at risk....

****************************

It's Sunday...

Rose was getting ready.Its only seven am.Rose took a crop top and skinny jeans from her cupboard.She had done a side braid.She decided not to apply any makeup.Just only applied a natural shade of lipstick.Her bell rang...

She opened the door.It was Mark.

"Are you ready?" Mark asked her while coming inside.

Rose closed the door.

"Almost ready!"

"Good then.Hurry up." Mark said.

"Where is Lizzy?Won't she come?" Rose asked.

"No.She has a very tight schedule.Her shooting is going on full rhythm."

"Oh..That's good.Finally she is becoming a heroine." Rose smiled.

"Have you taken your breakfast?"

"No.have you?" Mark said.

"No."

"Let's do it outside."

"Umm...I think that's not a very good idea.We will be late.I am making something for us."

Mark nodded.

Rose hurriedly poached two eggs for them and put bread pieces on the toaster.She heated milk for them in the oven.

"Mark,everything is ready.Come!

Both of them had breakfast and left for Rose's grandparent's house.

" Grandpa and grandma will be very happy to see you.Its been a long time you met them."Rose said.

Mark was driving.

"I am also very excited to meet them.How is the little buddy?"

"Good.He is also very excited!!"

Mark smiled....

******************************

They were pressing the door bell.After a few moments,Zain opened the door.George came running to them.

"Pretty sister.... brother Mark..." George hugged Mark's leg.

Rose smiled.

"It looks like our George forgets about his pretty sister so that he is hugging brother Mark."

Mark picked him up in his arms.

"It has to be!Because George loves me more than you!" He patted George's head.

"I love you both!And Sister Lizz also" George tried to clarify.From his facial expression it looked like he was very worried to hear his pretty sister.

Rose laughed.

"Don't worry my baby boy!I didn't mind."

"Won't you guys come inside?Or are you guys planning to stay outside?" Zain finally said.

Both of them came inside.

"Mark,Rose freshen up.Have some snacks!" Paul said.

Both of them freshened up.Zain served them some snacks.

"Grandma,I want to stay in your house forever!Your cookies are just awesome!!" Mark said while chewing the cookies.

"Of course,my child.You are always invited.I want you guys to stay here with us.But it's you guys who don't want to stay!" Zain sighed a long breath.

"Oh..grandma...You know that I want to stay here.But I have no option!!" Rose said helplessly.

Zain sadly nodded.

Paul patted Zain's back.

"Hey don't make them sad.Its been a long time they came here.Lets enjoy the moments.Don't spoil it by thinking this silly stuff!"

"Brother Mark,let's play!" George held Mark's hand and was trying to take him outside..

"Grandpa,grandma,Rose..Lets play outside...George will be happy!" He pinched George's little cute cheek.

"You guys play.I am an old man now.I have no energy to play with you." Paul said.

"Grandpa...You are not old.You still young.You look like still in your twenties." Rose hugged Paul.

"She is true grandpa!You are still young!Let's go.It will be fun." Mark said.

"You guys play.I have to cook." Zain said.

"No..We all will play together and after that we will cook together.Isn't it George?" Mark asked George.

George hurriedly nodded.His eyes were sparkling.He rarely gets this kind of opportunity to spend time with them together.

Paul and Zain finally agreed.

"Okay,guys let's go."

"But what will we play?" George asked.

"Umm.....Let me think!Maybe cricket!"

"Cricket!Mark,I wont play cricket!" Rose said.

"We can play hide and seek!" George jumped in excitement.

"We can play badminton!There is a badminton court outside." Paul suggested.

"Okay.I think badminton is the best option." Mark agreed.

Rose nodded.

"Okay!Let me change my outfit." Rose went inside.

"George,Mark...come with me." Paul called them.They went with Paul.

**********************************

They all went to outside.There is a large badminton court there.A pole with badminton net was placed in the middle.Paul was holding for badminton racket and feather for each of them.But one person is extra there.He gave each of them a racket for playing.Now it's time to divide them into two teams.

"We are five in number!One person is extra.Let me do some work inside.I will join you guys later." Zain went inside.

"Now we have to divide into two teams." Paul said.

"I will be in the team of brother Mark. " George hugged Mark's leg.

"Okay buddy!" Mark patted his head with affection.

"Then grandpa and I will be on another team." Rose said.

All of them took their position.Rose was wearing a short pant which just stopped at her mid thigh and a tshirt.Paul,Mark and George were wearing tshirt and sweatpant.

It's a sunny day.So playing badminton outside is the best option for them.In the excuse of playing all of them got the opportunity of enjoying the sun.

Rose threw the feather by her badminton racket.She was on the opposite side of Mark and George was opposite to Paul.Mark hit the feather.The game started on full swing.Finally Rose missed to hit the feather.

"One point." George jumped with joy.

"Losser!" Mark mocked her.

"Hey,don't be so happy.Just one point.The game hasn't ended yet." Rose shouted.

"Lets see." Mark and George both clapped their hands.

As George was little.He barely can play so Mark was managing both of their side.George was just happy with one or two shots that he can barely manage.

This time George hit the feather.Paul hit back.Again the game started.This time Mark missed a shot.

Rose started jumping.

"Looser!!Looser!"

Mark and George both shouted.

"We already have one point before you."

"Hey kiddo.....I get drinks for you.Aren't you tired and thirsty?Take some rest,then again go to play." Zain came to them with drinks in some glasses with a tray.

They took the glasses.

"What is this grandma?" Mark asked.

"Lime juice." Zain said.

"Your lime juice is the best.But grandma why don't you teach Rose to cook?"Mark said in a mocking tone.

" Why?"Rose rolled her eyes.

"Rose baby but I am very sorry to say how can you demand what you cook is considered as food!!" Mark smiled and revealed his front teeth.

"You traitor!Last time I made pasta.You ate more than half of that.Lizzy and I finally ended up starving because of you...Now you are saying I am a bad cook!!!" Rose gritted her teeth.

"That's because I was hungry and there was nothing to eat."

Rose hit on his head and started pulling his hair.

"Hey...Are you crazy?...Leave my hair...You crazy woman.." Mark shouted.

"No...I won't leave you.I will make you bald!You are a liar."

"Okay.Make me bald.If I don't get any girl for being bald you will be responsible."

Rose let go of his hair.

"Okay for the sake of your marriage,I pity you." Rose said.

"Brother Mark..." George asked.

"Yes,buddy."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"When will you marry then?"

"When I will find the right girl to marry!"

George thought for a while and then whispered in his ears.

"Don't you like pretty sisters?"

Mark smiled.

"What do you think buddy?Do I like her?"Mark also whispered.

George nodded.Mark patted his head.

" But what about your pretty sister?"

George became confused.He really doesn't know what his pretty sister thinks!

"Maybe she...." His words were cut off by Rose.

"Hey...You two!What are both of you whispering?I want to hear...."

Mark stared at George.George sealed his mouth.

"Nothing..." Mark smiled.

"What nothing?You two are clearly whispering anything about me!I heard my name..Are you bad mouthing about me?George baby boy did he say anything stupid about me?" Rose asked.

George instantly said,"No..no..He said nothing!"

Rose narrowed her eyes.

"Okay then!I believe you..."

Rose took a towel and wiped her face and neck.It was almost summer season.The sun was shining brightly.Due to the heated sun and long time playing,she was sweating.Mark stared at her.

Sun was sparkling on her beautiful light skin adding a golden glow.She was now looking like a golden doll who can walk and talk like a human.Her small nose,big eyes,rosy lips and perfect figure made her walking doll.Mark averted his gaze and released his breath.

"Brother Mark?"George called him.

Mark stared at him.

" I want to go to the zoo.Please tell my pretty sister I want to go with you."

Mark smiled and nodded.
