Chapter 16: Never Outsmart Dad.

I'm back home completely tired. Preparing the proper documents for my new project, got me worn out. I couldn't delay the process as dad would soon ask for the progress in my new project. Now that he knows I'm upto something, he would ask for the details and I don't won't to keep things hidden from him. I had to plan out the rough investment fund required to set up the plant and also put in order and file the papers for the sites which has been short listed.

I kept my car keys on the dinning table and was making my way to my bedroom when dad yelled my name.

"Naina?? "

"Yes, dad", I said and dad appeared from his bedroom with a big list in his hands.

"Sweetie.... Will you please go to the supermarket and get these things? ", dad asked.

"What things and which things?", I asked .

"Just some groceries and toiletries as we are running out of it", dad said.

"Dad, if you don't mind can I get them tommorow?", I asked hoping he would agree.

"Naina, if you don't get them today then Kavita will torment me with her never ending taunts on my irresponsibility towards home ", dad said completely traumatized and by the way, Kavita is our cook, she's been working here since seventeen years. She's a lovely lady and no one messes with her kitchen. And if you happen to mess her kitchen then you had it from her.

I checked the time and it was 8pm. I could definitely go, get the required things and then have my dinner.

"Okay, dad but first I'll change into something comfortable and then go to the supermarket, is that fine? ", I asked.

"As you wish, Naina. I knew you'd never deny your sweet father ", dad said pinching my cheeks like I was a kid.

I took a quick shower and changed into cream coloured shorts and black tank top. I applied some moisturizer and lip balm and combed my long hair and left them open. I checked the time and it is twenty minutes past eight, I left my room grabbing the purse and my phone along. I collected my car keys on my way to the door.

"Naina dear, you are missing something", dad said and I turned around to show him that I'd already collected my car keys.

" See, I've got them already ", I proudly dangled my car keys.

Dad let out a hearty laugh and said, "my little innocent kid, I'm talking about the list of things that was lying just beside your car keys".

I bit my tongue and said, "Oops! I'm sorry ", and dad handed me the list.

"Okay, see you , dad. I'm getting late", I said and rushed to open the door.

"Drive safe, kid!", I heard dad yell.

"Yes, dad", I replied yelling back.

I folded the list and put it in the back pocket of my shorts. I settled in the car , fastened my seat belt, turned on the ignition and was on my way to the supermarket.

It is 8:35 pm and I'm finally inside the supermarket.

I got a cart to stuff the things and unfolded the list of things. I read the first things and my eyes bulged out from the socket.

20 freaking toothpastes!!!

Has dad lost his mind? I might have mistaken myself so, I double checked it.

It is 20 freaking toothpaste. I checked the list further and was astound.

10 bottles of shampoo!
