Chapter 1

Aden's POV

I screamed my lungs out when the cockroach closed the distance between us on the bed. I jumped out of the bed as soon as I saw it. "Grandmaaa!!!!" I said, screaming my lungs out. My grandma barged into my room with a frying pan in her hands. "What happened?" she said, panting.

"G..G..G..Grandma c..c..cockroach!" I said while pointing at the cockroach.

"Where is it? I can't see it," she said as she turned her head slightly to the right, just to find the cockroach on the bed. Grandma went near the cockroach, and just before it could fly, she held it and went to the window and threw it out. "You scared me for a moment there. I thought something happened to you," Grandma exclaimed.

"Well, Grandma, it was a COCKROACH, not a cockroach." I said while chuckling.

"You made me do some morning exercise there. Ascending the stairs in this old age is not an easy job," she said, pulling my ears.

"Grandma, I promise, from now on I will only scream after seeing the cockroach when you are on this floor," I said as I struggled to let go.

"Well, that's not better, it will still make me run," she said, letting go of my ear.

"By the way, you have to do something about your height. I have to bend just to pull your ears."

"Grandma, stop teasing me about my height! There are already enough people to do that job."

"Well, I'm not teasing, just so you know," she said while chuckling.

"Then why are you chuckling, Grandma?" I said as I covered my yawning mouth.

"Well, come out of the topic and get ready."

"Huh? Why? There's no university today. It's Saturday."

"Well, there will be some guests in the house today."

"Guests? Who, Grandma?"

"She's my childhood friend. We lost contact about 15 years ago."

"Oh, then how did you get in contact with her again?" I asked.

"I found her in one of our cafés while I went to collect the sales the other day. That's when we exchanged our contacts. Anyways, her name is Alia. Don't forget her name, as I've already told you now. And one more thing—she's coming with her granddaughter, so don't be shy and at least try to talk to her," Grandma said, her arms crossed while tapping the floor with her foot. She kind of looked serious. I just nodded.

"Okay, hurry, get ready for today. It's already 9 a.m." Grandma said while drawing the curtain. As soon as she did, the sun's rays cast a warm glow on Grandma's features, making her look even more beautiful.

"I will be waiting at the dining table for breakfast. Come soon," my grandma said as she left the room, leaving a trail of her fragrance behind.
