"WHAT?! Why ?" asked Rita angry and confused . " Is grandpa ill ?" said Ria concerned . " Yes , Ria he is ill , sorry . " Oh " said Rita . Then their mom told them to go freshen up and come for dinner . They loved their grandpa , because whenever they went to their grandpa's house it was a very different environment , say , from the world , and they felt like that , because most of the time they would be in the terrace where the mornings are cold , but the rest of the day is just pleasant , and that they could just be there all day . The cool air and calm environment , just makes them not to leave , most of the time it is silent. But literally every house surrounding them has a baby , which not only means 360 degree cuteness , but also loud crying noises. It wasn't that irritating as it used mostly sleep most of the time , like all the babies do .
grandpa maintained a speacial maze , which was adored by many and even envied by few , as it was so elegant and wonderful looking that children used to go there and play !!!!. Grandpa knew the maze like the back of his hand , so if any one got stuck , he could easily get them out , which was very convenient at that time . Children even used to have birthdays .... for free !! , if he needed money desperately he hardly charged anything for more than at least ₹100. Most people were astonished by the price , but after he got old he had his own medical situations to take care of , and maintaining the maze also became really difficult , so he just stopped everything.
At dinner , they all were talking about grandpa's health and wellbeing
"Is he going to be okay ? " asked Samarth
"When are we going ?" asked Rita
"Are Anita and Akash still there ?" asked Ria
Anita and Akash were the friends they made , when there were there last year at summer
" Children , calm down how about we first eat and then discuss all of this ? " said Mr . Kumar
" But dad - " just then the doorbell rang , and when dad answered the door , a young man replied , " It's anna *, he's critical ".
*( it usually means elder brother in hindi , but it is also used to refer to someone elder to you)
"What ?! kids pack your bags were leaving now !" said Mr . Kumar in an almost angry but urgent voice . " But Raj -" " I said now means now !" . So they all packed their bags in a hurry , they didn't need much items as most of their stuff was available in and near grandpa's house . So they were all ready within 1 hour . "Everybody ready ? , double checked your checklists ?
" Yep ! and make that three times !" said Rita
" Sure did !! " said Ria
" Can we go now ? " Asked Samarth
" Of course ! just get in the taxi !" said dad in a hurry
"He's gonna be okay right ? " asked Ria in uncertainity
" I'm sure he's fine " said Rita in an assuring but uncertain voice
"Come on ! he's survived all kinds of stuff I'm sure he can survive this !"
" Yeah I just hope so ..." said Rita , worried
