2. The Grocery Shop

While having lunch, Luke asked ‘Do you like this

house?’

‘Yes.’ said everyone

‘It’s really a beautiful place. I really like it.’

said Dorothy

‘Thanks, Luke for this big surprise.’ said Jane.

Luke was glad to both of them smiling, specially Jane.

It’s after a long again she smiled.

After the lunch, Luke came to the kitchen to help his

sister Jane. ‘Jane, how can I help you?’

‘Please help me to wash those dishes. Jane pointed

towards the plates which were in the sink. Luke started to wash them. Suddenly he

said ‘Brother, we have to go to a grocery shop.’

‘Why? Didn’t you bring anything before shifting?’

‘What! Have you forgotten that I have two daughters to

look after? Although how can I mange everything?’

Luke was about to shout at her. Suddenly he controlled

his anger and said ‘Oh I am sorry. I just forget it. Please forgive me, my

majesty.’

‘I am not kidding, Luke.’

‘Neither me too. Now let’s get ready we have to go.’

Jane was about leave. She turned back and said

‘Brother, does it still hurts?

                                                                         *

Luke stopped his car in front of a grocery shop. It’s Need-Only.

Luke and Jane entered the shop.

‘Take all those things which you need.’

‘Okay but I would love if you select four different toothpaste.’

‘Why?’

‘Why again! Don’t ask just take.’

Luke took all his needed things. Now it’s time to select four

different toothpaste which was a difficult thing for

him. He went towards the toothpaste-shelf. Suddenly he heard a soft but calm

voice from behind. Luke turned back.

‘May I help you, sir? I have been watching you that

you are nervous to select toothpaste.’

‘Well yeah, I really need your help.’

Luke looked at her properly. She was a girl of nearly twenty

eight. She has a dark short hair and a pair of blue eyes. She had nearly 5ft

height along fair complexion.

‘Can you please select four different toothpaste?’

‘Yeah sure sir, why not.’

‘I have selected mine but unable to select others.’

‘Here it is. Anything more, sir.’

‘No, thanks.’

‘Well sir if you don’t mind may I ask you something?’

‘Go ahead.’

‘Are you new comer over here sir?’

‘Yeah, I and my family shifted over here in the

morning only.’

‘Oh, may I know where if you don’t have any

objection?’

‘Well it’s the old fashioned mansion near the lake.’

‘Oh, that house, it’s really a bit far from my shop.’

                                                                                *

Luke and Jane came back to the house. They brought all

their needed things. Luke was helping Jane to keep them from car to the

kitchen. Suddenly Jane asked ‘Do you know her?’

‘Whom?’

‘That girl in the store.’

‘Oh, no, no, I don’t.’

‘Then?’

‘She just helped me to select toothpaste.’

None of them had noticed Dorothy came there. She was

standing leaning the door and listening them.

‘What!’

‘What?’

‘Seriously?’

‘Yeah I was nervous to select them.’

Hearing this, both Jane and Dorothy started to laugh.

At that time both noticed Dorothy.
