Chapter 33

"Noooo!!!" I screamed as I woke up, in my bed, comfortably and thankfully not eaten by a one of the greatest scientists in the history of physics.

I looked beside me, my mother lay there, eyes shut and deeply in sleep.

I didn't want to wake her up the slightest bit as that would make her feel great discomfort, so I slyly got off the bed.

I brushed my teeth, had a quick shower and got dressed for whatever the day had in store for me.

As I went outside a ray of sunshine hit my eyes, making me immediately reflex my hand onto my face.

I realised that if I were to stay in Chennai for say, a month, before my father arrived I had to adjust to the whether.

This was not easy.

I was not used to being hot or being humid, being both at the same time was just not right.

But as the days passed and activities grew, I started adjusting to the whether.

As I had mentioned earlier my mother had a lot of activities planned for me while she was taking rest.

Handwriting lessons, tables from 1-20, Art and craft and learning a little Tamil from my grandmother were a few I remember.

Someone I also remember was Sanjana.

My grandmother's house was on the top half of a large bungalow, meaning someone was living in the lower half.

This someone happened to be Sanjana, with her father, brother and mother of course.

I don't remember much about them as it was so long ago, but I do remember that one day, when I went to her house to play her father was watching hollow man, and I happened to just peek and see the scene where the man was growing into his muscles.

I was terrified.

Sanjana and I used to play very often.

I constantly remember how at our age making a bubble out of bubble gum was a pretty big deal, so we bought some gum and had a competition.

Both of us didn't know how to make a bubble,but showed off as we did.

*Chewing* "I know how to make a bubble!" I yelled.

"I do too, my brother taught me!" said Sanjana, also chewing.

"Oh yeah, then make one!" "I'll make one when you make one!" "Okay, but I can't make one when you're looking" I said turning around.

"Pop, you see I made one, but it popped." I said turning around again.

"Okay then." she replied turning around.

"Pop, I made one too, see!" she said, just like me.

"No fair! I didn't see!"

"Then even I didn't see!"

"Then make one in front of me and I'll make one in front of you!"

"Okay..."

We both stood there chewing slowly as we looked at each other, waiting the next person to make a bubble first.
