Chapter 2: Before it began (2)
Felexia walked into the kitchen. Although her brother told her to keep calm she just couldn't. She had a gut feeling that something was wrong. Or maybe it was all in her head.
The kitchen also had a dining table with chairs of 6.The kitchen itself looked marvellous with white marbled counter tops below which there were many compartments. The drawers were also white and so was the floor. The walls were wallpapered with a dark sheet which gave it an illusion that it was wood.
The wall opposite to the counter had a double door which was their pantry. One the right hand side of the door was a fridge. and on the other side was an inbuilt cupboard with a glass door.
Felexia walked towards the pantry and in a bowl took two cups of rice . Then she opened the fridge and saw if there were any leftovers from breakfast they could eat. Seeing that the fridge was almost empty, she went through all the bowls and utensils (even though there were only three) and picked up the curry.
She also picked up 2 eggs so that she could fry an omelet before walking to the sink which was in the corner of the room but a part of the counter. She washed the rice. Then she took a pressure cooker to steam the rice in. After letting the rice cook she took a frying pan and proceded to make them omelet. She also heated up the curry. She then took everything and placed it on the table.
Felexia was indeed independent and could manage a living on her own. Her parents were always around and since without Allister she was the youngest in the house and the only girl her parents were overprotective. Hence she was always pampered as a little girl .
When she was 9 it was her dream of getting into girl Scouts. She somehow managed to and that was when she started getting a little independent. Yet this time After putting together a whole meal together she was quite proud of herself.
Just when she turned to place the steaming hot room on the table, Felix walked in with earphones in his ear staring into his phone. He was wearing a half sleeved shirt with trackpants. "What is there to eat? " He asked without even looking up from his phone one hand on his growling stomach.
When there was no response he looked up and saw the food served. He didn't say anything but his eyes did say that he was impressed by his little sister. Then he noticed that Felexia was still in her school uniform hinting that she didn't rest after coming from school. "Go freshen up. I 'll wait. " Although his tone was expressionless 😑 Felexia felt a warmth in her heart.
But still she couldn't be so selfish. She realized that her brother was hungry and it would be unfair if he had to wait for her. She wholeheartedly denied. "No.Its ok. You eat. The food won't be nice if co... "
By the time she could finish Felix already dig into the hot food. She gave a light chuckle before running up into her room to change. After a while when she came down the stairs to get back into the dining hall she heard the door open.
Her parents were home!!! She immediately smiled knowing that they reached home safe. But in their eyes was a tensed worried feeling which in an intanse drained out her wide smile. "What's wrong" she asked.
"We need to talk. Where is Felix" said their mother like she had been crying. Felexia was too afraid to move. She had no idea what was happening and why her mother was so tense. Felexia 's mother looked just like her plus 25 years but right now due to crying she looked 10 years more older.
As Felexia stared into the eyes of her mother which was red because of tears, tears filled her beautiful eyes. Her wheatish colored face turned pale and almost grey. By the time she could answer her mom ran to the kitchen where her son sat busy gulping down the food unaware of what just happened in the Hall.
Mrs. Russell, Felexia's mom, managed to calm herself down as she sat at the table in front of Felix. Felexia not to far behind followed and placed herself next to her brother. A pair of lashes looked up to see a middle aged woman seated in front of him.
Even though Mrs. Russo managed to calm herself down Felix was not a fool to realize something was wrong. "We need to tell you something. "she started in a serious tone.
Felix was really quiet and rarely talked. He acknowledged her words by switching off his phone, removing his earphones and putting it to the side.
Just then, a tall broad shouldered man wearing a black blazer and white collar shirt with undone collar button walked in and sat in front of Felexia next to his wife. Unlike his wife, he seemed rather calm but his tone was solemn. " Did you tell them yet? "
"No, I was waiting for you. " the woman told in a slightly irritated tone.
" Well, then, now what are you waiting for? " he reciprocated the same tone.
Felix could sense a small argument coming up in a few seconds and that definitely won't help sooth the tension in the room so he interfered "Can someone tell us what is happening? "
This one statement immediately brought the couple back to their senses and their mom continued.... " It's grandma... she is" she paused and tried to cover the sorrow in her face from her children but lowering her head.
Their whole family that is their grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins actually lived in UK which was a thousand miles away from where they were living now. A whole other continent. They came here because of her fathers job.'What happened to grandma ' Felexia thought as she looked at her brother.
Although a thousand miles away Grandma Russo loved the three of them i. e. Felix, Felexia, and Aleister and they too loved her.She knew something was wrong.
