Ariena was enjoying the swift driving to her house, to the Werben's, in her favorite darling, with a full moon shinning brightly in the inky black sky. She had roll down the window to feel the cold breeze of outside.... cold and soothing.
Some loose ends of her hairs were dancing along with the breeze as she slow down to enjoy the moment. After a long time she had come to this road which was so familiar to her. This the place were she had spend her nineteen years, some time laughing, some time crying, some time complaining, some time appreciating..... A lot of memories lies in each and every corner of this place.
Sigh, the old golden days of youth.....
After taking a right turn she was able to see the Werben's mansion at the end of the road, shedded with a big trees on both the side giving it a look of canopy... just to beautiful.
She entered the mansion gate without any inquiry as everyone was so familiar with her. Just as she stopped her Bugatti Veyron the Nanny Tesla came hurriedly to her and said politely with a big smile, "Welcome back elder Miss.. "
The happiness of seeing Ariena was showing clearly on her aged face. And why not she had been with her from the time Sofia her mother got pregnant, she was just like a second mom to Ariena.
"Nanny Tesla, I miss you so much..." said Ariena as she came out of her ride and hugged the aged woman in a tight and warm hug. She held her hand and pouted before complaining about the way she address her a while ago by stressing on some words, "How many times I have asked you to call me by my name , you don't acknowledge me at all... hmph.... it's ARIENA not elder Miss for you, remember this don't spell it incorrectly ... OKAY.." after saying her piece she again started laughing and hugged the elderly again.
"Okay .. okay.. let's go inside everyone is waiting for the beautiful ARIENA, for a long time. Master is really going crazy from waiting for you.. hahaha..." said the Nanny Tesla laughing whole heartedly and dragging her into the mansion.
As the two entered the lavishly decorated sitting hall with a fusion of modern and authentic show pieces, a man in his early fifties approached him with a big smile and opened arms.
" My darling ... I miss you so much.. come here.." said the man with a big smile on his face. Although he was in his fifties but by looking at him no one will say he is above forty. He was looking handsome even in his casual house wear.
"Dad I miss you too.." said Ariena as she jumped in Mr Werben's arm and hugged him.
"Frank.. will you let her come and have a seat or you are planning to do all the talking there only... let her have a comfortable seat so that we all can have a look at her. You are behaving like only you missed her and not us..." Ariena heard a calm but soft voice of her stepmother Diane from the back.
"Ariena dear come on and have a seat, see what surprises we prepared for you... come" added Diane once the father daughter release each other from their bear hug.
"Mom Diane .. how are you..." said Ariena as she walk to the brown color leather couch while hugging her father arms and Nanny Tesla following them.
"I'm good my child. How are you doing dear.... come here and try some of these delicious pastries, Nanny Tesla had baked them by herself just for you. You should come to home more dear see everyone is so excited to see you... " said Diane as she offered Ariena a plate of beautiful organized pastries to choose from.
"Oh God that so delicious ..Thank you Mom thanks Nanny Tesla you are the best in the world. Oh I'm feeling hungry once again hehehe.." said Ariena as she picked her favourite blueberry chocolate chip pastry and started to dig in, letting it's flavors devour her senses.
Everyone there started to laugh when they saw her behaving like a little kid again.
"Oh my you are still so childish dear, I think you'll compete with your children also in the future for Nanny Tesla pastries.. Haha.." jested Diane as she looked at Ariena eating happily without caring for anything else in this world.
Ariena actions jolted for a second from the mention of children but she soon recovered herself before anyone can take notice of the changes on her face expressions. She let a small smile to her family members, which didn't reach to her eyes and presumed eating once again, while thinking, ' CHILD... Will they will have any in future... she don't think so...'
"Ariena I heard that Andrew had accomplished a great deal this time during his foreign country business tour .. congrats Dear.."said Diane with a contend look on her face, as she continued, "It's good that you guys are so focused on the development of your future but dear, I hope you young people should consider about developing family also.... right Frank."
"Yes we are getting old and we wish to see a little version of you running and jumping here and there .... don't you guys think how much happiness will that bundle of joy will bring in your life... hmm.. " Frank excitedly supported his wife idea with stars twinkling in her eyes with just imagining the same.
Nanny Tesla was also very excited when the topic opened up, she was smiling with all teeth out as she passed a glass of water to Ariena as she chocked on her pastry after listening the earnest wish of her parents regarding her child.
" Dad .. Mom.. I'm too young to have a child, you see only tommorow only I'll be graduating and today you are asking me to become a mother.. it's not fair I also want to achieve something in my life and are you sure I can the responsibility of being a mother yet..." Ariena pouted as she put down the empty plate on and deciding whether to eat other one or not.
Diane was quick to see that she was more interested in delicacies then in their talk, the former sigh before instructing Nanny Tesla, "Please remove all the delicacies from the table, elder Miss is not able to concentrate on topic and eating too much sweet at this time of hour is not good for her body..."
Ariena was horrified to listen the instructions she immediately straighten her back and said with a sweet smile on her face, "Who's not paying attention to the talk... hehehe.. mom I'm all ears just don't bother the elderly... haha Nanny Tesla just relax let the delicacies here... okay."
"Ariena we don't mean to say that you leave your career or your dream to be a fashion designer ... Okay dear. It's just that we want that you two take a step ahead in your marriage life. Dear, it's been a long time since you two got married... don't you think.." said Diane in a soft voice .
" I know what you mean Mom but believe me Andrew and even me myself are not ready to go to the next stage yet. We both have some goals to achieve especially Andrew before we expand our family and I support him in that. I also want to have a child but I also want that we BOTH have time for the little one not just me but BOTH... I hope you understand me." Ariena racked all the ideas at back of her mind to end the topic right there only. As she blinked her eyes like a cute little kitten demanding for it's master attention.
Both the Werben couple and Nanny Tesla let a tired sigh as they surrender against her reasoning.
"Okay okay just do what you think is best for you but then to Ariena, I hope you have a good talk about this topic with Andrew and plan out something out as it already been three years since you got married and people are making all kind of gossip about it and believe me it is killing me to hear all those rubbish about you dear..." said Diane with a defeating tone as she squeeze Ariena hands slightly to show that she support her.
"Thanks Mom Diane... and please don't pay attention to the gossips as you already said that they are gossips not the truth right..." Ariena tried to comfort the old yet very beautiful and stylish lady, her stepmom Diane.
"Haha.. you are such a smart lady I'm really proud of you Ariena..."said Diane by giving her a quick side hug.
"Of course she is smart and beautiful as she's my daughter... " jested Frank as he held his head high to show off, letting all other in the hall burst into a fit of laughter.
'Ah the blackmailing of the oldies finally ends here ... hehehe.. you are a drama queen my dear Ariena... ' mused Ariena as she saw everyone laughing and chatting happily.
