SECRET PAGES:

New summer

Luna was sitting inside her room on her bed; she was thinking, thinking, and again thinking, she was awestruck by the disappearance of the yard. she had a train of thoughts running inside her; she was confused about herself if everything was only a dream. She heard someone knocking on her door. she said in response,"Come in."

She was surprised to see Icety walking inside her room. Luna didn't react to her arrival. She asked simply, "What do you want now?"

"Listen, I am trying to help, but what you said doesn't make any sense," said Icety

"Well, that's great, thanks for that now leave," said Luna angrily and laid down on her bed

"Get up, Luna I am talking to," shouted Icety

"Well, I thought you were done," sighed Luna

"I am not, and can you please get up and talk seriously?" shouted Icety

Luna got up furiously and shouted frustratedly, "I am talking seriously, you are thinking that I am some dumb girl having weird dreams and blabbering stories about you think that I am having hallucinations because I have not slept properly if that's how seriously you can take what I say then of course this is how seriously I take what you say,"

"Excuse me, I am taking it quite seriously, and that's why I came here, but you know what it seems like you don't deserve it and thank you for this," shouted Icety

"Of course, I don't deserve sympathy; all I want is your help to find answers to my confusions," cried back, Luna

"Yeah, I am trying to help, but you are more concerned about throwing tantrums, so why not bang at doors and ask for help?" said Icety and started to move

"Yeah, I would do that rather than asking for your help," shouted Luna as Icety was walking away. she didn't pay any attention to it; she walked out of the room and slammed the door. Luna was looking at the door, taking heavy breaths. She then pressed her hands against her forehead and moaned, "Damn you, Icety,"

Later, it was dinner time at night. Luna and Icety walked simultaneously to the dining hall, but there was another surprise for them. The elders of the house Grandpa and Grandma were sitting there. Icety didn't react to them, but Luna opened her mouth and asked, "Oh, I thought you guys left with the others,"

"Yeah, we did go there, and we came back when Pinna came back last time when you went missing, and we are not planning to go back," said Grandpa

"Great, I didn't notice that you were here," said Luna

"Yeah, we would hardly come out of our rooms. We don't feel lately," said Grandma

"Oh, I am so sorry about that. Make sure to take good care of yourselves," said Luna in a caring tone

Both the grandparents chuckled and said, "Sure."

"Actually, it's not because you didn't come out of your rooms, but it is because she was dreaming all the time," said Icety

"Icety we are not doing here," said Luna angrily

"Well, I don't wanna do anything anywhere," said Icety harshly

Before Luna could reply, the Maid May came in between carrying food, "Fine, the food is ready now eat," she said and started serving the food to everybody. Both Luna and Icety became quiet , and soon all started having their food.

After dinner, Icety immediately walked to her room while Luna helped Grandpa go to his room. After dropping him, Luna was returning while she was about to head to her room. Grandma called her. "Luna, can you please come here?"

Luna smiled and responded with a nod. She walked towards her and asked,"Yes, grandma, what's the thing?"

"Actually, your Grandpa has dropped his walking stick in the store room; he can't walk without that. Can you please take it for him," asked Grandma politely

"Yeah, sure, I would love to do that where is the store room," said Luna with a smile

Grandma smiled back and replied,"Yeah, it's upstairs near your room,"

Luna headed upstairs. she walked towards the room, and she found it near but a bit distant from her room. It was too dark full of dusts. Luna couldn't find where the switch was; she was rubbing her hands on the wall in search of the switch. She was moving along the walls, rubbing her hands on the wall for the switch. Suddenly, she got tripped by some object on the floor.
