CHAPTER-11

My mind will always believe everything you tell it...

********

<Your room>

You are lying angrily on your bed. Mrs. Min sitting right beside you on the edge of the bed. She puts her hand on your head to pat you, but you smack her hand away hardly, making a 'tsk' sound, showing how pissed off you really are at the moment.

"There's no need to pamper me!" You say turning your head opposite side.

"Grandma, I went to college because I cared for your feelings. But when it came to my honour, nobody here is bothered about it. All the love just evaporated!"

"Who said it evaporated? Now is when the love will flow, my dear" Mrs. Min says in a soft voice.

"Tsk"

Mrs. Min just sighs and continues, "Maybe I'm getting old, but I haven't lost the spirit yet"

"Then why did you stop my brothers and father? Why didn't you let them battle it out? But NO! Your precious grandsons must come to no harm, even if I'm burnt in the process!" You sit up straight and step down from your bed, "What do I mean to you anyway? Why must you bother?"

"Have you gone mad? Is that what all you have got to know of your grandma in so many years" Mrs. Min steps down too and walks towards you.

"The best attack is the one that makes the least noise" She adds grabbing you by your shoulders softly before she starts with her mischievous plan.

"Listen, did he humiliate me or your father or your brothers? No. He humiliated you. So you'll plot the course of your revenge. You'll fight for your pride"
You noted every single word coming out from your grandmother's mouth.

"How's he to look at? Handsome?" Mrs. Min asks.

"Who?"

"Mr. Park's son?"

"I don't know, I didn't look carefully" You answer avoiding your grandma's eyes and move away from her.

"Then you must now take a good look. You'll have to give him a sense of belonging and make him eat out of your hands. Make him a pet" Mrs. Min tells you with a smiling face.

"You mean I must fall in love with him?"

"Love? If you fall in love, you're the first one I'll cremate!" She replies in a serious tone.

"There's  a difference in what you weigh and what you buy. You've to just weigh. You got to lay the trap of everlasting love" she says now expression softening a bit.

You're looking at her, contemplating every word, and registering it in your mind.

"Bring him to a position where he licks your heels. When he's madly in love with you and revolts against his family. And if you will, he'll even present Mr. Park's head to you on a platter. And what love and alliance? It'll be the end of the story"

A small smile crawled on your face while listening.

"He'll bang his head on the walls all his life. Our revenge will be complete. Then,  I'll have my peace! You get that, little girl?" Mrs. Min says with a smirk on her face to which you just nod in understanding as you're happy about getting your revenge by your own, not actually knowing the real intentions of your grandmother.
