C9 The Day Of Surprises...

In Adam’s room...

After he entered his bedroom he checked every inch of that room and he was amazed to see how everything in the room was so perfect and what he exactly wanted.

"Are they trying to bribe me or what?? Accepted!!! It’s truly amazing!! Mom Dad I am on your side. Count me in.." He said while jumping with happiness.

The room was dyed with light and dark shades of beige and brown metallic colour. His room was divided into two parts. One part was the resting area having a king-size bed with a matching bedside table. A big wardrobe having everything he needed, from the hair on his head to the nails on his toes. The other part was his favourite, which was meant for study. A study table beside a long glass window. A huge bookshelf was made in a crisscross pattern and had all books he would like to read. The bathroom was luxurious with a big bathtub and a separate shower area with glass walls.

Besides this, there was one bonus that made him get mad with happiness and that was a beautiful guitar hanging on the wall opposite the bed. It looked beautiful on the wall having a light brown metallic colour.

He wanted to take that guitar in his hand but 1st he thought to clean himself and then went to the room picking his clothes from the wardrobe.

When he returned, he couldn’t resist the temptation to take that guitar in his hands but when he did that, he heard a scream. He realise that it was Anna’s voice. He put the guitar down and headed outside to Anna’s room in hurry having a worried expression on his face.

Anna’s room...

After checking her wardrobe, Anna took her clothes and went to the bathroom for a bath. When she entered inside she saw a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub. The bathroom shelf was filled with all the products she liked to use.

"So they don’t want to give me any chance to complain. No wonder mom with the head of the management and planning department. Not bad have!!" She said while observing the stuff inside the shelf.

After having a bath Anna came out of the bathroom in a purple bathrobe and stood in front of a big oval mirror, long enough to accommodate the whole figure of the person standing in front of it and was fixed on the wooden stand on the floor. When she was observing herself in the mirror she noticed there was one more door on the opposite wall a few metres away from the bed. She turned and moved towards that door. When she opened the door she was shocked and screamed her throat out, with her eyes wide open, about to pop out from their sockets. She then covered her mouth with her hands.

Adam entered her room as fast as he could. When he saw her standing at the door inside, he went there feeling worried and asked, "what happened?? Are you....aaaaaaaaa!!!" He stopped in between after looking inside the room and screamed his throat out just like Anna. He stood still at the entrance of the room, beside Anna. Both were looking inside the room like someone had hypnotized them.

Just then the room’s door opened and their parents entered inside in hurry to check what happened. When they saw these two standing at the entrance of that room, they understood what exactly might have happened.

John and Alice stood behind their kids and asked, "Do you like it, Anna?" Anna turned and hugged her parents with tears in her eyes and said, "I loved it. Thank you so much".

Adam: "I loved it too. Thank you so much" he pulled his sister aside, copied her words and hugged his parents.

Anna: "Hey!! what are you thanking for? This is my room. Why are you being such a drama queen?"

Adam: "I am thanking them for my room, little cry baby!!".

She frowned at the word cry baby and said, "Who are you calling cry baby? You are such a drama queen and what’s with that scream earlier??

Adam: "You screamed too. When I saw the scene inside this room, I thought that screaming might be the proper reaction to express myself just like you. Now tell me who is the real drama queen?" He said while teasing her.

"You...."

John: "let’s get inside" and cut these two in between their argument.

Everyone went inside. The room was spacious and brightened with the sunlight coming from the glass wall of that room. The room was white with one wall having a big shelf filled with all types of painting colours. There were various wooden stands with canvas attached to them, all kinds of painting brushes, aprons, glow, a wooden chair to sit on while painting and a resting area. Because of the glass wall in the room, one could see everything that’s outside. The bottom of the wall is decorated with small decorative plants from the outside to give it a feel of natural greenery. The room was perfect, and any artist out there would love it.

Anna was a bright Student, she could have done good in any field like medicine or engineering but she chose to paint.

When she was young she travelled along with her parents to different countries which were famous for their art cultures like Greece, France, Italy and other European countries. She was mesmerized by the beautiful paintings from the legends.

She planned to visit and travel all over the world and portray everything in her paintings. Out of all the places she travelled to with her parents, she liked Greece a lot and planned to settle there. When she was in New York, she often used to spend her time visiting painting exhibitions by different artists. Her favourite place was "The Painting Centres", a non-profitable art gallery which provides opportunities for emerging, mid-career and established artists.

"Mom, I thought you want me to just study here. But this..." She couldn’t find the words to express her feelings.

"How can I keep you away from what you want to do? Keep doing it and about studying business management you can just do it on a side."

Both John and Alica were aware that Anna was quite unhappy about coming to England. They wanted her to keep painting as it was what she wanted to do since she was young so they prepared everything here for her. About the business management course, she would be able to do it with ease as she was extremely talented.

After that everyone went downstairs for the delicious breakfast made by Alica herself. The white family finished their breakfast and sat in the living area in front of the television. After quite a long time they were together so there was a lot of stuff to talk about. As they were talking the things in the US suddenly John asked, "I hope both of you remember that tomorrow is elder Smith’s marriage anniversary and we all have to join the celebration"

Both nodded and said, "Yes dad!!

Anna: "We are looking forward to meeting grandpa and grandma Smith." She said with excitement in her voice and Adam nodded too.

Alica: "I have prepared everything for both of you but if you need something to attend tomorrow’s event, you can go shopping if you are not tired."

Adam: Yes Mom!! It’s been years since we visited this city. Lots of things might have changed. I want to go out for a stroll. What’s say, sis??

Anna: "Why not?"

John: "You can take my car and the driver with you. He will take you to all the places you want to go."
