Ah, here I am, basking in the glory of my successful intimidation tactics, rewarded with a fancy room and a closet filled to the brim with extravagant clothes.
Little did I know, all of this was just a setup for today—my father's return.
And, of course, that means my stepmother's brewing another one of her dramas.
I can already memories what happened in my previous life :she'll ask me to serve my father coffee, but not just any coffee—loaded with enough salt to make even the ocean jealous. And as if that's not enough, my sister will swoop in with a backup plan, armed with a fancy rich tea.
It's like watching a scene from one of those over-the-top Indian soap operas.
Hehehe *rabbit laugh* "But this time, I'll be prepared. You better watch it, stepmom!"
Firstly, I stealthily sneaked into the kitchen.
*Tip-toe, tip-toe*.
Out of nowhere, the chef played peekaboo with me, and trust me, I had a little heart attack. "My lady, may I have the honor of knowing what you are doing here?" the chef inquired."No, you can't, you little white sauce pasta," yelled my inner voice.
I shook off that thought and said, "Of course you can. Um, well... I'm here..... " I said with a smile on my face that only weirdos have.The chef gave me 'bombastic side eyes' and said, "So, my lady, why are you here?" Oh, think hard, Lotus. Oh yeah, food! "I am here for food. You know, food. I am dead hungry," I replied with exaggerated sweetness. "Okay, madam, then you can continue. Call me if you need anything," he said and left.
Ahssss..,
that was close. Anyway, let's get to work. To tweak my stepmother's little setup, I made luxurious coffee and swapped it with the salty one, then added spice to the 'tea'. You guys already know who is going to serve it.(My step siso)While leaving the kitchen, I blew a flying kiss to the chef. Now he won't even come near me.
Hehehe *satisfied laugh*.
"You're so smart, Lotus. Now let the fun begin."I went up to my room and started getting ready.
After an hour or so,
father arrived. As soon as he saw me, he engulfed me in a tight hug. He kissed my head and then looked at me. He said, "Oh my, my, look how thin my girl has become, I..."He was cut off by my stepmother, "My dearest, my love, I missed you so much that I couldn't even eat properly."
"But you look fine to me, my love," my father replied, and I giggled under my breath.
Here comes the main part.
Father was now in his room, so I went to him with the coffee.I knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"It's me, father, Lotus."
"Come inside, my dear."
As I entered the room, I bowed to my father. He asked, "What is it that you had to come all the way here?"
"I've made coffee for you, my lord. I know it was a long trip and it would have been exhausting for you," I said in the sweetest tone I could muster.
"That's so thoughtful of you. Place the coffee here, and then you can leave."
I placed the coffee on the table and was about to leave.
"Wait, I wanted to tell you something, Lotus," my father said. I turned to look at him.
"What is it, father?"
"From tomorrow, you are going to attend college, so be ready at 5:00 am. Romeo will take you there."
"Yes, father."
"Now you can leave."
I left the room and waited outside for my father's reaction. But I heard nothing. It must mean that the coffee was amazing.
"Yes, I did it!" Out of the blue, my sister came.
*Peekaboo*
Now I'm pretty sure they want to kill me with this peekaboo. Unhh.
She has the tea in her hand, and there it goes. She went in and gave the tea to father. After a minute or so, a loud scream came from father's office. And there it goes, another episode of an Indian soap opera. It was fun, though.
