Serendipity

•Chapter one•

The cool breeze of wind touched my skin making me feel fresh. The evening sun was disappearing behind the mountains while the sky was transformed into an aesthetic orange. The view as a whole delivered peace throughout my nerves. The tranquility is at it's peak and I am enjoying the moment.

This is the last day of my visit in this beautiful country-side which is covered with green trees, plants and shrubs from the top to the bottom. It was an essential move to come here since everything that I do in my life is possible because of this place. This is the place where I grew up with the other bunch of kids and my lovely elder, Nerissa Dean.

If it weren't for this place I would have been roaming around the busy streets of New York. I turned around and observed the house which held a lot of beautiful memories inside and outside of it.

"Julien! Look at Connor! He is trying to steal my doll!" The little girl who reminded so much of me ran down from the house to where I was standing with a boy slightly taller than her behind her.

I laughed at their situation.

"Why are you laughing? Help me!" The girl who is known as Gabriel shouted at me while rushing towards me in full panic mode. She thinks that Connor another funny soul behind her wants to kill her doll who she thinks exists like her but poor boy just wants to play!

"Gaby, stop." I held her small figure from running any further but she fidgeted alot that I had to leave her. "NO!" She looked behind her and shouted more than the first time.

"Gabriel I want to play! But that doll isn't letting me!" Connor shouted while passing through me. He was running in a very funny manner with his hands raised up high above his head and he was raising his legs so high that it was difficult to distinguish if he was running or jumping.

"Kids you two should calm down first and talk!" I quickly turned at the back to my previous position and I had to shout for they had crossed the boundary where they could not hear my normal voice at all.

I ran behind them like a crazy woman searching for her kids even though they were just a few metres away from me. Little kids and their speed is an inspiration! But if they fall down and injure themselves I wouldn't want to imagine the reaction of Nerissa. The scolding that they would get!

With huge steps I finally caught them both in my arms and tackled them down on the ground so that they wouldn't escape this time. It is a difficult task to hold when these kids do not stop moving their body!

"Kids!" I may have shouted loudly than my normal rate which resulted in my voice crack that both the kids stopped moving and started laughing.

It was hilarious that I laughed along with them. "Julie, your voice is like a clown's! So funny!" Connor said while laughing his heart out. Now that we three were laughing so much I had forgotten about the hold and we were all rolling on the floor with our hands in our stomach.

"Julie's voice was the joke of the day granny!" Gabriel exclaimed from her chair beside Nerissa. Laughing at her words I looked at her and winked. "Shh, it's a secret." I pretended to whisper which made Nerissa laugh "You are still a kid Julie."

Making a grumpy face I looked at Nerissa and said "No! I am a woman, a very old woman." I faked rolling my eyes and turned away from here. "Well, granny isn't wrong Julie." Connor chuckled beside me and looked at me while controlling himself from a laugh.

"Yeah, for the first time in my life I am sitting with a very old woman who is 20 years-old. That's a miracle!" Gabriel and Connor including me began laughing at her sarcastic joke. We all four high fived each other and continued eating the delicious sandwiches.
