"I hope the loser would forgive me. Let me apologise in advance and I hope you are both mature and won't take this personal, right?" He was beating around the bush."You are forever forgiven, right Anu?"I said and Anu just nodded with a smile that caused me blink my eyes several times to catch up my mind again."Alright then, the one who prepared these dishes is our loser for the night."he said pointing at the ones I made."Seriously! So Anu won again?" I said with my eyes widened."Again?"Mr Smith repeated."Yes. He had won me at lunch time too."I explained."Congratulations dear."mother said to Anu."A second! I won't be selfish and take all the compliments. Artie deserves all this since she is the one who taught me how to cook." He said with his gaze fixed on me.I felt like I wanted to ask what he was talking about but his gaze....it couldn't allow me to open my lips.He was staring at me and my whole body was shaking as if heavens called for me.Weeks later, His Highness Noble ma
There was a power cut for like ten minutes. When the lights were on again the priest was no where to be seen. "The priest is missing."a woman said. Everyone started to look around for him before we saw him coming from outside."Am so sorry I went outside without informing anyone."he apologized. "Now let's restart the rituals."he said."What? It's considered a bad omen. You can't restart the rituals."a woman corrected."No dear. It's really not like that."he priest assured.I guessed something was fishy with the way the priest stared at me. He couldn't concentrate on his job. "Could he be Anu in disguise?" I asked myself so I moved my eyes in search for Anu. He was still there. "Then what has happened to the priest."I couldn't think straight anymore.Before the rituals were completed, the priest blinked his one eye and smiled at me. He then closed his eyes and whispered something and like that my finger started to hurt. The wedding ring summoned on my finger and that's when I remembere
"Mother! How come you are inside the house? I mean dad had told you not to step inside, did he give you a condition?" I whispered in mom's ears pretending to be hugging her."No dear. You don't have to worry about me. Everything is fine."she whispered back and smiled."Mother-in-law, what's that secret you are keeping from father-in-law? I really wish to help you out but I would have to know about it first."Anu said when Dad left us."It's nothing, trust me."she lied."You can share it with me please."Anu insisted."I will handle it myself. Don't worry."she assured but Anu didn't seem convinced. He came very closer to my mom and looked straight in her eyes for more than five minutes and later he fell to the ground."What's happening with him?"I asked."It's possible that he was trying to read my mind."mom said."What! Do you mean he knows about it now?"I asked.Wait! Was I fooling mother or myself? I knew that Anu knew the truth since he had already met with my real dad when we were t
"What did she say?" Anu asked the moment I returned back in the room."She doesn't want us to ruin dad's birthday which is tomorrow."I said."It's alright. Let's zip up for today and tomorrow."he promised.The night went so well and dad's day reached. Anu and I had planned a surprise for him.***Anu was to turn to a lion and pretend as if he wants to attack me. I was to scream for help. There my dad would come rushing to me. But instead of going to him, I would run downstairs where the celebrations were to be held. All this was to be done in the dark.And after that, we would switch on the lights and celebrate his birthday in an amazing way.We were demons that's why we liked doing great things in the dark but Mr Smith was a human so he had human friends who would wish to celebrate him on his birthday during the day. That for, the party had to favor both sides.Everything went so smoothly and perfectly till when it was time to unwrap the gifts.I don't know how this happened but as M

After Anu had read his mind, he manipulated him and inserted new thoughts which were 'to forgive my mom and just forget about it' and it worked.Happiness found its way back to our house once again so Anu and I had to go back to our house where mother in-law and Miss Cucu waited impatiently for Anu. They thought he would come alone since they well knew I had lost my memory and everything about us.They warmly welcomed Anu back home with their faces covered in smiles but those smiles of theirs didn't last for a long time. Their shoulders fell down when they saw me stepping in the castle's gate."Shocked! What happened? It seems like you didn't expect me."I teased but they both kept quiet."There's no point in talking to these people. Let's go inside dear."Anu reached my hand and led the way to the castle."Everything is still the same except our bedroom. Why did you change the painting?"I asked."It's nothing, don't mind about it."he said."No dear. You have to tell me, please."I insi
"Everything is wrong! What do you mean?"Anu asked."My blood. Your mother finally got what she always wanted from me."I said while sweating as I imagined how cruel Anusha would be that he's now back to life."Your blood? How did she get it?"he asked confused."I don't know but it's the reason why she's so happy this morning."I pointed."That means my father is back. Wonderful, let's go and meet him."he said, looking so happy too. At a moment, his father's return was all he could think about. It's like he didn't care about me anymore. But of course he had a reason to be happy, after all Anusha was his father."Anu."his father called the moment we stepped in his room."Father."Anu called too. They both stared at each other before enveloped themselves in a tight hug that lasted like forever."You are a grown man now."he said as he scanned him with his eyes."So this is your wife, my daughter-in-law?" He asked pointing at me."Yes Dad, she's Artie. My darling wife."he replied, simply."Sh
"So you won't believe me, right? It's okay then. I won't add any more word but at least think about it."I said and left him in the room.Reaching outside, I saw an old man trying to jump into the swimming pool. "No! Please don't into that pool."I screamed."Who are you talking to?" Anu asked, he had followed me."Look there."I pointed to the old man standing at the banks of the swimming pool."Am not seeing anyone there."Anu said looking confused."Then your eyes must be having a problem."I taunted him."Let's go inside."Anu said politely."I won't go with you. I have to first take this old man away from the pool. Who knows what he might do next. I have managed to stop him from jumping into that pool but I don't think he has totally changed his mind."I said."What are you talking about. I don't understand anything."Anu gazed at me with questioning looks."You won't be able to see anything unless you have your eyes checked up."I taunted again before pushing him out of my way and heade
