It’s Xmas! I can’t help smiling at myself. It has been 6 months I have been away in Australia having no time to breathe. I exit from the airport and hire a cab to home. The cab comes to a halt at front gate of our house. I enter the main gate and start running on the drive way of my home, leaving my luggage for the security guard to bring over. As I am about to knock the gate, I find it open. I slowly open the gate and enter my home. ‘Peaceful as always, HOME sweet HOME!’ I say to myself.

I slowly tiptoe through the gallery that leads to the giant hall. A chandelier is in the centre, Sofa and couches arranged in a circle. Why is everything so quiet? I rush into the kitchen and find Bella cooking and ordering other servants as well. I don’t think it’s the right time to disturb her. So I escape from there.

I run towards mum and dad’s bedroom, but find it empty. Where they might be? It’s Sunday, they are supposed to be at home.

‘DUB’ I hear noise from study room of dropping something. Dad should be in there. I run as fast as I can. As I enter in the study room I see a male figure from back in his shirt and trousers. He is bending to pick up a book from ground. Here is dad! As he picks it up and turns to my side, I run up to him, my vision blur with tears. I hug him, my face on his chest and arms around his waist. Wiping my nose with my scarf, I calm myself hearing his heart beat; it’s fast and so is mine.

“I am home! Surprise! I love you and I missed you so much.” I can feel my steaming face and tears rolling down my cheeks.

It is amazing how just listening to his heartbeat makes me so relaxed. I am already so happy. Then my gaze shifts to his arms still at his sides. Why is he not hugging me back?

I hear someone clearing his throat. But I am not going to leave my dad, from the corner of my eye I bend my head a little to see who is standing at the door. It’s dad at the door. I shift my face back to snuggle into his warm chest.

Hold on! DAD IS AT DOOR! What the hell!! Who on earth am I hugging? I push back startled and shocked to see.

And as I see…

 NO!

This cannot be happening!! NO!!

“What the…” all of a sudden I realize few other people are also there with dad. I don’t bother turning but finish my sentence, “What are you doing here?” I say with clenched jaw. I can’t believe my eyes. Am I hallucinating?

His expressions seem equally shocked as mine.

Oh my GOSH! Why above all it has to be him?

 KLAUS HALL. The person I hate most on this earth!

“Ah Car! Is that you? You said you were not coming.” I turn to my father, he looks really worried. Damn Klaus. I will tackle you later. I rush to dad and hug him. He engulfs me in his bear hug as if I am still that 5 year old Caroline, who is back home from school.

“I wanted to surprise you” I say sobbing. I pull myself away and see mom crying as well. I hug her smelling her scent; I had been missing every second I was away from home.

“Oww my Carrie, I have missed you so much.”

“Me too mom. I love you.”

“Me too Hun”
