The silence in the class was busted up with the sound of the bell ringing. The proffesor concluded the lecture and greeted the students a happy vacation. The thought of being on vacation from tomorrow made the students run wild with thoughts.

"What are you planing on for this vacation?" asked Marie.

There was no answer.

"Edlyn!" she yelled.

Edlyn was a beautiful woman in her early 20's. She had long silky blond hair and brown eyes which shimmered in the sunlight. She was the woman who was bold and determined. The sudden yell of her name brought her back from her thoughts.

"Yes, sorry", Edlyn said.

Marie eagerly asked "What is your plan for this vacation?".

Edlyn couldn't think of an answer.

She replied at last "I would go to the football classes like every other time ". She looked dull.

Marie exclaimed "What about your plans of visiting your grandparents? Aren't you showing up this year too? "

Edlyn bent her head with a sad expresssion on her face. "I'm going to ask my parent's and I wish I get to visit them atleast this time " she said .

Marie was not happy to hear that, she wished Edlyn could visit them.

"Hope you meet them honey, take care, Bye" Marie waved.

Edlyn waved back and walked her way to the bus. She got into the bus and was lost in thoughts.

Edlyn lived with her parent's in Detroit city, Michigan. It was long since they stayed there. There were no relatives she knew. Only members of the family she knew was her grandparent's living away from the city. She wanted to meet them every vacation but was refrained by her parents.

It was an hour later she reached home.

"Hey honey! How was your day? The soup is just getting ready, go get yourself freshened". It was her mother, Mrs.Esther Cavanaugh.

Esther was a woman in her late 30's and appeared bold. Her eyes were beautifully crafted and she had a great smile. She did not appear as a woman of late 30's.

"My day went on great mom! " replied Edlyn taking her way upstairs.

Later she arrived at the dining and was having her soup.

"Mom, do you mind asking you something?" Edlyn asked sipping a spoon of soup.

"What is it that's bothering you so much?"asked Esther, trying to read Edlyn's expression.

Edlyn gulped the soup and struggled "My vacation starts tomorrow and I want to meet grandparents atleast this time, I know that they don't like dad, and so you, but may be I can meet them and .... "

Mrs.Esther interrupted "Anything except that, now how many times do I have to clarify you that your father and me are disrespected by them. We do not want any kind of relationship with "

Edlyn could no longer keep quiet "But afterall they are your parents mom"

"Edlyn!stop it, neither we or you are going to have any relation with them nor you are going to visit them, I hope it's clear to you" Esther concluded.

Edlyn could no take it. She striked the soup bowl against the table, rose furiously and went upstairs.

Mrs. Cavanaugh did not speak a word.

"This time I am not going to agree with you mom," Edlyn thought tossing on her bed.
"Why is that you always hold me back when I want to meet my grandparents?" She thought her eyes filling with water.

All she thought of was meeting her grandparents who lived in a farmhouse in Ashley village. It was 120 miles away from the city.

Yes!! She sat up on the bed determined, "This time I am not going to be held back". She was shaken by the resolution she made.

She came up with an idea to tell her parents the next morning. Edlyn was excited with her decision.

She started imagining her journey, the village, she was loving every bit of it. Her grandparents, the farmhouse ....

In no longer time she was in deep sleep and had no idea what awaited her.
