"Grandma, I am home." said Charlotte.

"Chelsea, How was your trip?" I asked

"ufff, it was tiring, but boss is happy with my work. This will one will be a successful Novel." she said while taking out bottle from refrigerator.

"So, you will be having vacations?" I asked sitting beside her.

"Who knows, he might want some new ideas." She laid her head down on my lap, "Grandma, I am so tired."

"My Charlotte is such a hard working girl." I patted her head.

"But I need some idea soon to publish new novel."

"Then why don't you write stories about people around you. They might have some interesting untold stories."

She bolted up with glow in her eyes.

"You are amazing Grandma." she hugged me "You are such a wonderful person."

She let go of me and to dig something from her bag. She took out a notebook, a pen and a portable recorder.

She sat infront of me.

"Shall we start?" she asked happily

"You want to take my interview first?" I hesitated

"Didn't you say, people have some untold stories, I wonder what kind of story you have."

"But-"

"Pweaseee." It hard to say No when she make those puppy eyes. Sometime I think I really spoiled her.

"Fine, but I don't know from where to start."

"Its fine, start from your childhood."

"I need to think about it."

"It ok whenever you are ready."

After few moments, I agreed.

"So shall we begin?"

"Yes."

She switched on her device

"Hello, My name is Charlotte Benjamin. I am a journalist and my topic Is story of my life. So I met a beautiful lady, who gave the idea that everyone have an untold story, so I'll be interviewing her about her childhood, life and all about her. So lets start from the introduction."

"Well, My name is Sylvia Francis. I am 78 years old and currently living In New Delhi, India."

"Nice to meet you Miss Sylvia. You have such a beautiful name, whats the meaning of this?"

"Well, My name meaning is nothing special, it means 'woods, forest.' this name was given to me by my grandmother. This name comes from the ancient Goddess 'Rhea Sylvia'. She was an ancient Goddess and mother of twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus."

"That's quite an ancient name. So miss Sylvia, as you said before everyone has an untold story. So can you tell me about your life, about your childhood, how you were and able to become a powerful life changing leader by the age of 30. I mea how were you before?"

"Well, this all happen when I was a kid around 3 years old......

☆Sylvia at the age of 3

"Mommy, Mommy" I clinged on to my mom's gown "What is my name?"

"Your name is Sylvia, Sylvia Paulson.

"Sylvia Paulson?

She nodded

"What does it mean?"

Such a lame question.

"It means woods, forest."

"Why did you names me as forest."

"Because we belong to forest region"

"Then why are we here, here is no forest."

"Because your mommy and daddy work here."

"Why do you work here? Grandma must be alone."

"She is not alone. She have uncle with him."

"Thats because uncle is not married, once he get married he will also leave grandma, and she will be alone."

"Don't sprout nonsense, go and keep your toys back."

But I went out to play.

We live in rental apartment and our neighbour kid was my annoying cousin 'Jenny'.

"Sylvia lets play with these dolls"

"Wait, let me bring my doll."

"How is daughter?" he asked tickling me.

"I am fime papa, but why do you call me doctor?"

"Not doctor, daughter." he corrected

"Doctor."

"Daughter."

"Doctor."

He gave eventually gave up.

"How was your day dear." mother asked while serving him tea.

"It was good, how was yours?"

"It was good."

"Papa, ask mommy to stay home. She shouldn't go ti work."

"Why sweetie." he asked

"Because all of my friend's mother stays home. Even Jenny's mother." I pouted

"But if she don't work, how will she buy you dresses and all those things you like?"

"You are working that is enough?"

"No dear, your mommy loves working." He patted my head.

"But I don't like creche." I said slowly.

After few month I got a nanny

She took care of me till I was 5 years old. Till that time we shifted from rental house to our house. It was small but bigger than our rental house. I had new nanny at that time. She took care of me when I was 7. When I was 7, I had no friends, I become introverted. I didn't know at that time, but did have friends but, not that close.

At 7 my brother came into this world, 'Sylvester paulson.'

I was happy, and unlike other, who got jealous because their parents didn't pay them any attention, I was happy about it. Because for me, he came first.

---------------------------------

"So this was my story when I was just a small kid."

"You were introverted at such a young, even with a beautiful family. What do you think wS the cause?"

"At that time I didn't know but as you grow up you know how to explain your emotions. So, now am aware of my behaviour and emotions I had at that time."

"And you said you never get jealous. I remember when my brother was just around 3-4 months, he was like an apple of my parents eye, and I use to get jealous alot."

"Might be because you had friends and you took their love for granted. As for me, because both of my parents worked I was alone. Even if I played with my cousins, I still felt alone. So when he came. It was like, your first love, you gave everything of what you had."

"At a early age you thought about others."

"Hah~ That was just the beginning."
