Prologue
'It's been 78 years, from last I saw you. Now it's just waiting for the time to come when I will be able to see you again my dear'. Seeing there grand-uncle who always smiled at them and told them stories, looking sad and depressed made the two siblings a bit surprised as well as sad too.
"What happened paa, are you sad? will you like to have this candy? mommy always gives me this whenever I feel sad", "Yes eat this, it will make you happy like it makes us".
Seeing the expressions and the things in there extended hand, gave Graham the motivation to change his posture and seat straight backed on the old chair, "OK then, I will take them". As Graham told this the siblings gave him a wide smile and put the candy packet in his hand. "MMMH!! Thanks Ian for this, and youuuu!! little runt giving me the empty wrapper, come here Joe late me also wrap you in this rug". Joe ran away from graham's study in the second floor down the stairs towards the kitchen in the first floor. "SAVE ME NANCY, SA-V-E M---E", "What happened Joe baba, why are you running in the kitchen how many times I told you this is dangerous?" Peeking towards the door from behind Nancy, As Joe tried to compose him self and tell Nancy what happened, Graham came into the kitchen with the rug in hand. "AREEE!! What are doing sir bringing this filthy thing here". In front of a furious Nancy what ever he would try to do will be fruitless so he went out and left the rag out. "Sir you have a letter addressed to you, but weirdly there is no sender details listed".
As Nancy picked out the thick and expensive looking letter out of the drawer and handed it to Graham without giving him time to talk, she gave a wink at the mirror beside her.
"HO HO HOO!!! GOT YOU NOW YOU LITTLE, Now where you will go?". Getting the signal from Nancy as planned, Joe who was hiding behind the dish rack beside the exit tried to make a run for it but got caught by Graham.
In his way out of the house Graham also took Ian with him. He played with them in the garden in front of the small fountain which is in the middle of the road to the Outside gate. After playing for a bit he let them go to play by themselves, he went out of the front gate and took the path going right. "Cam get Victor for me please", Graham told one of the labour's in front of him working on there fields. "Did you call for me Uncle?". Victor came looking exhausted, he also sat beside Graham on the log in the shade of the trees while sweating buckets.
Graham took the envelope from his pocket and extended it to Victor. "Walter is coming next week Monday". Victor who was trying to grab the envelope which Graham had extended towards him, stopped and looked a bit dazed but then grabbed the envelope from Graham. "Understood", Victor said with a deep but shaken voice.
