Everything that happens around us has a reason but we don't know it, we get to know sooner or later. The sooner it is it wears off earlier but the later it is it hurts more, it pulls off pieces of the past. It remains a mystery when you don't know it but when it is unsolved it feels crystal clear, you feel it was there the whole time but you couldn't see it. Actually you needed a key to see the crystal clear and I am here in the search of the key. I am in my home city Melbourne, Melbourne is full of nature and historic attractions and I love it and it is lot better than Hastings back there in New Zealand.
Mom and I used go to the park in the evenings which was near our house, I mean to say our old house which is abandoned now. I am going to my grandmother's house, you all must be thinking why I am going there when I can use my own abandoned house and not answer the questions of my grandmother. I can but I don't want to because..... I don't want those memories to come back to me , I don't want to see her body trace mark on the floor in her room, and I don't want to cry every second thinking about her so I better be away from it.
And how much I know about my grandmother she won't ask too many questions and she would be glad to have me there. Me, Lisa and Jack are in front of the door of my grandmother's house.
"Merliah ring the bell" pleaded Jack while he is carrying the luggage of all of us
I don't why but I don't feel like ringing the bell I am feeling scared when I am not a scared kind of girl but I feel once I ring the bell there is a new chapter of my life waiting to begin on the other side of the door, but I always wanted that chapter to begin in my life, Merliah do it I say to myself and I ring the bell.
"Finally" says Jack
"Shut up" I say
"Our Merliah is back from that crying that day" says Lisa
"What you knew it" I ask because I thought they didn't
"Of course we know it, we are not blind Merliah" says Jack
"Your eyes were all red that day so obviously you were crying" says Lisa
"But you didn't shower any questions" I ask
"I would but......" Lisa is cut off by a voice from my back
"Yes?" asks a person behind me
I know it's my grandmother I turn to face and I can make out from her face expression that she is shocked, surprised, glad to see me and has lost her voice for now.
"Merliah!" says my grandmother as she has found her voice
"Hello grandma" I say and hug her and she hugs me back
"Hello I am so glad to see you after a five years, do you get five years and you have grown so tall and you just look like your mother" She says
"Yes I know grandma" I say
"So who are these two young people? Would you like to introduce to me" Grandma asks
"They are my friends Lisa and Jack" I say as I introduce
"Okay now come in" Grandma says "You have carried a lots of load" Grandma says as she sees Jack
"It's all because of Merliah" says Jack
"Shut up it's not because of me you were the one, I will help you both to carry luggage and so you are the one not me of what you are handling" I say
"Okay fine now you drop those luggage and I am sure you both can carry yours it's just one flight of stairs and Merliah will show you your rooms and freshen up, I will prepare lunch for you all and you Jack wait here I need to tell you something" says Grandma
I am shocked by the fact that what does Grandma needs from Jack, I don't go to the room and try to overhear what are they saying
"I will give you a piece of advice" Grandma says
"Yes Mrs....." says Jack
"It's Louis, do you know that you shouldn't help girls who are very ungrateful" says Grandma
"Grandma what are you doing" I say
"What I was just giving a advice" says Grandma as if she didn't do anything
"Okay Jack go" I say
Jack leaves the room and I stand there
"You shouldn't give such advice grandma" I say
"Okay, fine I get it I should have tried something different to become a friendly old women" Grandma says
"So I am going I will come back soon" I say
"Okay" says Grandma and smiles
I go to my room actually it is Mom's childhood room and so I took this room so I can refresh some memories of her. I go and freshen up myself and go down to see what my Grandma is up to.
"Hey what are you cooking" I ask
"I am cooking some chicken" says Grandma "I need to ask you something Merliah" says Grandma
I know it's time I answer her questions
"I know for what you here nor I, you or your father could ever believe it and you are here to find the truth which you always searched when you were seven I get you Merliah you don't have to explain yourself go on with it you need to know, we all need to know" She says and pat my cheeks
"So what's delicious here" asks Lisa
"It's chicken" says Grandma
"I will serve" I say
I served and I ate the lunch my search of key has begin and what I need is courage to do so and I have it.
