04 Unexpected Meeting (2)

"Grandma?" I said while looking at the old woman in front of me.

Grandma still looked the same way as i remembered her.

Even though I don't remember much about my childhood but I still couldn't forgot grandma's face.

The way she smiled at me. How she used to spoil me and made all of my favorite dishes.

How can I forget those good moments?

I looked at the old woman in front of me. She was shocked by seeing us and some other feeling was in her face that I don't know how to identify.

The old woman dropped the basket she was carrying because of the shock.

"Anastasia? Is that you?"

I could sense the sadness in her voice. Looks like she was truly surprised by our return.

I couldn't wait any longer. I quickly ran towards her and hugged her tightly.

"Anastasia? Oh my goodness. Look how big you have you grown up." Grandma said while wiping her tears, her voice was still shaking.

She kissed my forehead and looked at Emily while smiling. "And you must be Emilia. You have grown very well too."

Emily was just looking at her dumbfounded and gave grandma an awkward smile.

Grandma just laughed. "Looks like you don't remember me very well. You were just a baby when we first met. So nice to meet you Emilia"

Grandma gave her hand to Emily for a handshake.

"Don't be too formal with me grandma. You can call me Emily." Emily smiled and said with a sweet tone. "And by the way, I have heard a lot about you from Anastasia."

That's a lie because i never told Emily about my childhood. She is bluffing.

"What a lovely child you are Emily. Just like an angel." grandma giggled.

Like an angel?

Who?

Emily?

What a joke.

A few minutes ago Emily was screaming like a crazy woman and now look at the personality change.

Is this how psychopath gets created?

Grandma should wait and spend some time with her and then she'll find out what type of demon Emily is.

I wanted to laugh when grandma called her angel but I controlled my laughter because I didn't wanted to ruin the emotional happy moment.

"Yeah. Of course. What an angel." I said sarcastically while looking at Emily. But In return, she started giving me death glares.

Even though grandma was happy by seeing us. but her eyes were waiting for someone else.

"Who are you looking for grandma?" I asked her.

"Ohh, No. I just thought that, did you two came here alone through another city? Or did Claudia came with you?" she asked.

I don't know how to reply to that.

Should I tell her that mom just dropped us and told us to stay with grandma for a few days?

But wait! If mom called grandma then she should know that Me and Emily are the only people who are going to come.

So did mom called her or not?

"Grandma did mom called you to inform that we are coming?" I asked grandma but she shook her head in no.

"She didn't call me since she left. Sometimes I tried to contact her but she never picked up the phone. I thought maybe she was busy and would call later but she never did"
