Chapter 18: Chapter 18

I woke up hearing my alarm. Yesterday night I slept with my haunted teddy. I'm feeling very sleepy because having this teddy brought so many memories back, because of which I slept late.

Yawning and still with my sleepy head, I went to the bathroom and did my morning routine, and went down for breakfast. The aunt was smiling while making breakfast and I wondered ‘did something good happen to her’.

"Aunt, why are you happy? Did uncle buy you any present” I asked her. She is usually happy when her uncle gifts her.

“No Jane but it is kind of a gift" she replied to me.

“What is it?” I asked her in excitement.

“It is a surprise for you," she said smiling.

“What is the surprise for me? Please, aunty, tell me” I asked her in excitement.

“No. If you want to know, come home early” she said, making me more excited.
