Early morning I woke up, I remembered I had an important duty to be done. Grandma!
I walked around the house, all grandparents and other family members were still in their rooms. All the workers were doing their chores.I was the only one who woke up so early, excluding the workers. I simply went and sat at the gazebo, the cold air blew, the flowers were waiting for the sun. The sun hadn't come up fully, he was hiding. ⛅
I sat in there alone, enjoying the beauty of the garden. That's when suddenly somebody chocked, "Very well! It's my spot usually and today I see someone else there. Loves nature, huh?"
I turned back, only to find the person I guessed, grandma.
"No", suddenly came out of me, unexpectedly, "I didn't mean to say that... There's no one in the world who don't love nature. I was here simply since no one was has woke up."
Grandma smiled, "You could come check for me. I wakes the earliest of all in here."
I nodded, "From tomorrow then."
Grandma patted me, "Come sit here!", She gestured beside her.
I sat with respect. Grandma began, "I never got a company before to sit like this with... in my favourite place."
I began trying to bring up more friendly feel, "So what do you do after waking up so early everyday when all others of the family are asleep?"
Grandma replied, "Wakes up early, then completes my morning routine and comes and sits in the gazebo, talking to the nature. That's when Chitra usually brings me my health-diet, you know nuts and those stuffs. And here she is, at the speak of the devil." We gave a small laugh as Chitra handed grandma a small bowl full of nuts, dry fruits, dates and a glass of warm milk and Chitra left.Grandma told, "Take some." I denied, "I am not too much of a nut-eater, especially at morning."
"I love all this nuts," said grandma, "but I really wanted to try different cuisines. But here it's a fixed menu, you know..."
I nodded slightly, "My first day here, mam. So I am not aware of the food system here."
Grandma said, "Call me granma. I am fine with that, rather going for... Mam."
I smiled, "So then... Then after the nutty bowl, what's your usual work... granma?"
She cheerfully replied, "I wait for the sun to rise, that's when all other members of the house wakes up. I sits her all alone till breakfast, enjoying the view, talking to the flowers, sometimes exercising. Then I goes in for breakfast, there's were everyone sits together, that brings me pleasure... Togetherness."
I cut in, "So only Jaganath uncle and family and your and grandpa's siblings and house workers are only in here?"
Grandma's mood slightly paled, "My other son is abroad and he hasn't come to meet me for the last two years, he says he is too busy. What not! The only people who ain't busy are the parents who have been busy for their children's whole life-time... being busy for them." She sighed, as she blinked back her tears.
I changed all of it, "So tell me granma, after breakfast?"
Granma went on, "After breakfast, no one will be at home, only workers. Jagu, my son and Akshi will go to Taj group's head office and Jagu's wife, Sitara goes with her modiste to her botique. I walk around and inside the house and meet all members of the house. Then I sits in the library at the basement, reading or writing. I enjoy that too. Then I will come to the kitchen and help the workers, then we have lunch. After lunch, I come around the garden or sometimes the driver takes me for a nature-drive, you know it's too boring here most of the days. In such cases, all of us... all the aged people in the house sit and gossip together or goes out together. Then we get back for tea break, tea time no one sits together because Jagu's family will be out, some of our siblings will be resting, others will be preparing dinner... Like that. So I usually have my tea in the gazebo. Then I sit here, reading, writing, singing and enjoying myself. Night time, all would have reached... Half an hour before the dinner all will be at home. Then dinner together and then a small family talk, that're the best moments of the day. Then all go to sleep, after a film on holidays, but on usual days all go to bed early in here. When I don't get sleep, I comes and sits in the gazebo and sometimes granpa or my siblings who haven't fallen asleep, joins me. That's it!"
I smiled, "Not that busy!"
Grandma gave a short laugh.Just then the sun rays shadowed the whole area of the mansion, the sun wasn't hiding anymore. Birds were chirping, the wind blew softly and sitting in the gazebo, enjoying all this was amazing.
I concluded for now, "Granma, I will go call my other friends, see you. And 'am so sorry that I stepped on your gown."
Granma ended, "It's fine, that's over dear. No worries! Go and wake your friends, breakfast must be together."
I nodded and smiled and walked into the mansion. Grandma was still in the garden, she was walking.
An hour before the breakfast, all other members of my team woke up.
All my team members were too busy after their morning routine, except for Ishwa who was simply walking in the house with Akshi. I walked to the kitchen and helped the workers serve the breakfast.
It was the time for the breakfast.
All came and sat in their respective seats, around the refectory table.Just after breakfast, we all were back at work. I figured out few things from the conversation with grandma at morning. She is a nature lover, who spends her free time in the gazebo at the garden doing her activities. She also enjoys being at library, reading or writing. She love family time; she enjoys togetherness.
So we need more points about her, for that I need to get into more conversations with grandma. But she should not doubt about the event.
Aali was walking here and there, making sure everyone was doing their works without letting grandma notice. She was our security. Sam was supervising everyone and helping with ideas, she also coordinated with Aali to secure the ideas of the event.
Jia was helping everyone with ideas and plans. Mikki, items organizer, her job hadn't began, because grandma hadn't given us an idea about whether she liked antique-crafts or modern items. Nichu was with Sathu and Mikki to get ideas of greenery designed welcoming side. Sathu, already began planning up decoration ideas for nature lovers. Aksha was helping her in all ways possible. Kitti was already looking into the budget because today morning we received the advance from Jagu uncle and she was already calculating the budget. Rahu, drove to the shops to buy necessary things. Akku went with Rahu to show our plan to Akshi for approval. Harz also went with Rahu to order the necessary items and technical systems. Adi was selecting new cuisines, he was researching for new dishes with the chef of many ranked hotels. Rish was just beginning to set graphics, projector styles and all. He had no idea of what music or film to be played.So all were being set.
Then we were called for lunch. Jagu uncle, Akshi and Sitara aunt reached on time, and we all went and sat around the dining table. The delicacies were served, the grand-couple were arriving.
