Tristan has been in the US for 5 years because of work issues. And finally was going to be back home today in the old house.

"Madam, where are you going?" the butler asked her as the old lady was on his way towards Tristan's bedroom.

"Today, Tristan is going to come back. I have to check whether his room is tidy or not, you know him, he doesn't like untidy stuff, I don't want him to be mad as soon as he is home."

"but Madam, the maids can look after it, you should rest for a bit." the butler spoke worriedly,

he saw her running around since morning and has been trying to ask her to rest for a bit,

But she, being stubborn, has not heard his single word since morning as she thought that her grandson is going to be back after 5 years how can she just sit and do nothing.

"this bed cover is not very nice change it now, make it the shade of dark blue"

"ok madam" the maid said as she left to bring the bedsheet.

As soon as the old lady was content with all the things and thought that place is all set she moved out of the room and went to check on the kitchen.

"Madam the food is not ready yet, I will tell you as soon as it is ready, you should rest now."

"What? the food is not ready yet" she exclaimed "let me help the cook, that way it will be ready soon, out of my way" she added.

Oh! God help me if Young Master will know that Old Lady is doing work on her own he will surely bury me alive

the butler thought as a matter of fact.

"Madam, if Young Master will know that you are doing so much of work he will scold me" he said pitifully

"oh! that.... that is your problem" she said while leaving the room the butler was left helpless

He stood there thought for a while and said.

"Madam, don't you think that these painting and the curtains here are too old"

and instantly the lady turned around to spot the flaw and looked at the painting in the living room.

"You are right! how was I not able to see such"

she immediately called out the maids.

"Change these paintings and curtains immediately " as the lady was busy ordering the butler took it as a good chance and bought a chair for her to sit, he then said

"Madam, look after them, what if they make a mistake, meanwhile I will check on the food"

and it was his good luck or prayer don't know? but the old lady agreed.

The old lady had done too much work today, so as soon as she was relaxed she could not help but feel dizzy and eventually slept.

Butler returned after taking a look at the kitchen as he knew that the goods were not ready yet. Since, the Young Master's aeroplane will be reaching here by 8 pm , and it was impossible for him to reach this early, because it was only 5 in the evening.

When he saw that the lady was sleeping, that's when he felt at peace, but he knew the consequences were going to be bad.

By 7 pm the old lady woke up, when she looked around she was happy that everything was flawless and then suddenly her eyes stuck at the clock which was hanging on the wall.

After looking at the time she was very furious

and shouted at the top of her voice.

"BUTLER....."

For a minute or 2 the butler who was busy with some work got startled, but soon he recognized the voice and so went to look after her.

When the lady saw him she was really infuriated and in anger she asked

"Why the hell did you not wake me up?"

"Madam, you did not have any rest since morning and you were tired, that is why I did not wake you up" butler answered calmly

"Don't you know, Tristan is coming back home, what if he would have reached home early and saw me sleeping? what would he have thought of me" She argued angrily.

"Madam it is 7 o'clock now, the jet will be landing by 8, don't you have to get ready?"

as the old lady heard it, she looked at her clothes from up to down and realized she is not even ready yet.

"Oh, no! I am not even ready yet, it is all your fault"

She hurriedly ran into her room while blaming the butler and shut the door.

The butler couldn't help but sigh!

As soon as the hands of the clock stuck at 8, all of the people of the villa were out, near the huge gates of the mansion to welcome the Young Master of the great manor.

"Madam, why did you come out so early?"

"Didn't you say, his plane will be landing by 8, why is he not here yet?" the old lady questioned

the butler couldn't help but face palm in his mind

"Madam, I said the plane will be landing by 8 and it will take at least 30 to 40 minutes for them to arrive at the manor"

"Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?"

"You never asked Madam"

the old lady face palmed thinking

How is my butler so much stupid

On the other hand.

Tristan was sitting on the back seat, on his car staring at the city which hustled as if it was never night for the people.

I don't know what this place will bring me this time. But this time I am ready, I will face it, till I have no power left.

The unhealed wounds this city had brought to Tristan, was open again, as every street passed by reminded him of his joyful days of childhood, how his blissful smile shined under these roofs. And suddenly one full moon night everything changed with a blink of an eye.
