I am really sorry for publishing unedited part earlier. It had some mistakes in it and I am sure it could have been better.

And it is my duty to inform you that -all the places and events mentioned here, are absolutely fictional.

I didn't realise when I fell asleep. When I woke up it was four in the evening. No one even woke me up. My father was due to arrive at three, and I had wanted to greet him. He is probably back and must be resting now. Oh, I wanted to greet him!

Anyways, I was glad his train was early. We could go on a family outing and enjoy this Sunday.

I washed my face and raced downstairs. Mom called me to the kitchen. She said,

" Take your snacks and remember to get ready by five. We are going to go for a movie and then we will have dinner too."

I yelped in happiness and started gathering my snacks. As soon I had it ready I departed for my room. I had completed most of my school work yesterday and only a little bit was left. I sat on my desk completing my homework and having my snacks.

It was already five on the clock when I got free. I quickly went to my closet to pick a proper attire. Thankfully I am not a fashion freak. I don't mind my looks and so, I was ready in no time. I had combed my black hair into a clean ponytail. I then got downstairs and put on my green- black sneakers.

Gratefully I was ready before everyone else. I sat on the sofa, watching T.V., and waiting impatiently for others to get ready.

I put on the Discovery Channel. The show was about the history of the world. As I was about to get totally lost in the show...my father called out:

"Ana come on, we are ready. "

I jumped off the sofa and switched off the T.V. and rushed to the door. Mom and Leo were ready and were waiting near our blue car. Father was at the door waiting for me to come.

I had seen my father after a whole week, and so I ran and gave him a big warm hug. We then sat in our small car and set out to enjoy.

I was again lost in my train of thoughts, but I soon pulled the emergency break of the train- so that I can talk and have fun with my family. We all had fun talking to each other. My brothers jokes and my father's witty remarks were too good. We laughed the whole way to the Cinema.

There were four running movies -
MOVIEONE WORD..

Love and War._Huh?!

Along the rainbow! _Ugh!

Patriot. _ATTACK!

Secrets of Time.. YES!

Everyone agreed with me and so we bought the tickets for the secrets of time.

The movie was amazing , we all enjoyed the action and comedy.

After the movie we decided to have a Chinese dinner.

The dinner was too good!! I ate soooo much that my belly had swollen. I was full and felt drowsy from my filled stomach.

I was very happy. Today was far better than I had expected it to be. The simple and fun moments with my family was worthwhile. We even played games and mum did some shopping too.

We set out on our ride back home.

On our way back I listened to the songs playing on the FM and watched the moon pass by. I hadn't realised when the evening had turned into night.

The music made me drowsy and I was forcing my eyelids to stay open. I tried to concentrate on the scene outside.

I waited impatiently to reach home ,so that I can go and sleep on my bed peacefully.

After a Sunday all I needed was a good night's sleep.
