THE NANNY AFFAIR

The plane ducked after a three hours drive, we walked out and got into the car waiting to take us to the hotel, and a few hours later, it stopped at the ranch, dad built for a family vacation, as well strolled in and went straight to our rooms.

Mine was in the middle of Riya’s and lia’s rooms, yet again for the second time in a day, is it just I or the universe is trying to tell me something.

The same day, Elena we called outside the ranch, I walked out and saw a huge round table positioned in front.

“What’s going on!! I asked uncle Julian, he shoots a curious smile at me, then Elena walks in with Riya behind, holding a jar of flashcards in her hands.

“Hello my lovely family!!! And welcome too, Khan’s family game night, come over and have a seat”.

Elena seems to be in a happy mood, Sara falls her eyes and assured that everything will be fine because she knew that my mom isn’t to be trusted.

We all filled up the empty seats, Riya placed the jar of flashcards in the middle of the round table and sat next to Elena.

“So!!! Who’s going to start first?” Elena plunges in thought, and out of the blue, falls her eye on me. “How about you, Mr. Salem Baltimore, can you kindly take a flashcard and read what is it written”.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

I pinned a weak smile, dived my hands Inside the jar, and brought out a red flashcard.

“Here it is!! So, what next?” I flipped the cards after Elena’s revealed the instructions of the game to me, she says and I quote, “you have five minutes to read what is written in the cards and point out anyone you wish to answer, and if the person fails to give you an answer, then he or she will have to do anything deemed fit by you”.

This isn’t such bad instruction, and if Elena fails, I’ll have to tell her to do the impossible by exposing herself to the whole world to know.

“Fine let’s start,”  I said, proceeding further with the question, “who is the singer that sang, love yourself?”.

In a headcount, I gently weaved Riya’s eyes to mine, “you answer, miss Riya!”.

She buffed out a deep breath  relaxed her nerves and replied, “the singer is  Justin Bieber”

I looked into the flashcards and saw it was the right answer, “impressive miss Riya”. She smiles and dragged the jar over her directions, reading through the picked-up flashcard by her.

“Salem this question is for you!!! Who do you love most in this world?”.

The second, Riya asked, Elena’s ears itched to hear my response, I turned my head and saw the look, the son, please say it’s me, kind of look!!. She got the shock when I called out someone else’s name.

“My Nanny, miss Sara Scott, she’s the most important person in myself, after that, some else!”.

“Who?” Everyone still maintained the same look, waiting for a name.

I didn’t want to stare up prying eyes at Riya if I called her name, so I again called some else.

“It’s is my best friend, Sophia”.  I said, and decern how hurt Riya was when I called out someone else’s name.

(The game proceeds on)

It was time to get a good night’s sleep after spending hours playing games, which was supposedly fun, if I hadn’t known Elena Khan, I will have been convinced that she was a good person, but in reality, she isn’t.
