9 Till the Karting Days

After coming to our house, I had a mild fever for few days. During this time whole family stayed with me and this was a good feeling, though I couldn't understand what were they saying nut their playful banter did keep in a happy mood albeit lethargic.

Like this 2 more months gone by just playing and drinking milk. I knew babies can say their first word at around 4 months and so I tried to keep my genius status.

During regular sessions with my mother, she came and said, "How are you my child" but all I heard was something like, "Wie geht es dir, mein Kind" which sounded gibberish to me. Then I tried to speak and at last I succeeded at saying "mama".

This cought mom off gaurd and she said in German, "say that again Matty". I once again said "mama".

---- Amelia's POV ----

I didn't know that hearing 'mama' from my child would make my heart soar and make me feel so happy. Then I took Matty up and danced around amd it seems like Matty loved it.

I went to telephone and dialed Markus's numeber and then he picked up and I said, "honey, hear something our son has to say" then I passed the phone to Matt and then he tried to hold the phone with his hands and he looked very cute, so I motioned Hilda to take the picture so she did and then Matt spoke into the phone, "mama".

---- Markus's POV ----

I was in office when I got a call form home and recieved it. Then Amelia said something that I didn't understand properly but then I heard my son's voice from other side. But I was not ready for such a fatal blow of happiness. My son just spoke his first word, he said "mama".

Then he said it several times and giggling in between. With hearing that I just ended my work at the office and rushed to see my son.

While driving to home I thought it was not so unusual for my son to start speaking early, he already showed intelligence more than his peers and had a good indication to know his surroundings. Having a clear intrest in a particular thing, cars didn't help in connecting dots. Still it didn't damper my mood.

---- Matthias's POV ----

After speaking to dad, he laughed and I also continued my giggling and then it seemed like he completed his work and was to return to home. Mom put down the phone and took me to the crib but I was uninterested in it so I just disagreed and mom relented to it.

Then mom just took me to our living room and switched on the TV and left me there and went to do some work in kitchen. My dad came after sometime and played and I just continued to just say mama over and over again. Like this our day concluded.

In a blink of eyes of my parents, more times passed and I have completed 1 year. It was truly magical and stiil it was unfathomable to me that I was give another chance at life with such wonderful parents. I felt that it was all I needed to achieve my dream of mine, to become the greatest driver the world has ever seen.

The year has been chaotic to say the least, to keep the facade of my intelligence, I started speaking at 4 months old and around 7 months I started crawling. Thus definitely kept my parents excited and astonished. They have taken me to various doctors many times and found that I was a very healthy child. Thanks ROB fot that thing.

During my 1st birthday, many freiends of father and mother came. But I didn't see any of the grandparents, that's unfortunate that I didn't have any grandparents, still I was happy. There were many kids enjoying the party and I was the centre of attention which was not uncalled for as I was the reason that the party has been for. Though I would have liked me to be left alone and no cheek pulling.

I got many gifts but my favourite were from my mom and dad who gave me a small toy car for me to play. You can't understand what it means for a parent less child to recieve their 1st gift from someone. Thiugh this was much more than about gift, it was the emotions that mattered. The party went smoothly and everyone enjoyed it and night came, then everyone went to their homes and U also went to slumber land.

2nd year passed like a flash and I had started to run around a lot and started to learn and understand German. It was quite difficult to learn, thaks my previous life for it. Still I persisted and understood basic Herman and could say it quite well for my age that is. This time the best gift I got was a small battery car. I was so ecstatic that I didn't left the car. My parents just stood there and kept smiling at my enthusiasm and then I got to drive it. Oh that felt good going at top speed of 1 km/h.

---- Amelia's POV ----

The years went by and our son grew so much that I can remember that how small he was like yesterday. As his age progressed, his enthusiasm for cars increased. Whenever he got chance to go out, he would try to look outside and when any good cars came sround, he will just laugh and be happy.

The greatest joy I have ever seen in Matt's was when he got the battery operated rideable car. It didn't leave his sight in the party and when the party was over, he immediately started to unpack the car and he seemed very much eager to ride that thing. Then me and Markus assembled the car then Matt drovw the car without ever having any knowledge about it. This was an amazing discovery for us that his interest was not only on cars but to be able to drive them. We truly supported our child if he ever wanted to become a race driver.

---- Matthias's POV ----

When my 3rd year completed, I got the news that I will be starting to learn starting now. This meant that I will be homeschooled. The homeschooling went well, now I was fluent in German and can have conversation with my parents and any adult with ease. But my vocabulary was very limited.

4th year came and went, at the age of 5 I got the news that I would be going to school. I went to a nearby public school. The education system in Germany was definitely better than Indian one, this I can assest to. Due to me already familiar with most of the subjects, I quite easily aced it and then I learned that there was a Karting ring in the city. I definitely wanted to go there. I can start my carting carrier early.

I went to my parents and said, "I want to go karting, please" with the greatest weapon for any kid, puppy dog eyes. Mom and dad couldn't handle the cuteness and agreed. Dad also said, "we were discussing about you going to karting around when you would be 6 uears of age, but starting early is not a problem, just be carefull and enjoy your time there. We will admit you in the next week".

This is much better than I hoped for. I was very great full to my parents to not discourage me to drive. I then went and hugged them and I had some tears in my eyes. It was a good moment untill Hilda came and took a picture, "sorry, please continue" she apologized. But it was still was a good moment in our lives.

I was watching sprint race and qualifying of Belgian Grand Prix, it was a very good one. Lance Stroll being an idiot crashed into the barriers and Verstappen had a very close race against Piastri.

But in the sprint it was once again a Verstappen show, he kept the lead 1st lap and didn't leave it, but what a race for Piastri and Gasly both of them have a strong chance of getting podium. Piastri can become the 1st rookie to get a podium in like forever.

This is my largest chapter yet, I was experimenting with the word count, so the chapters don't feel too short or too long.

If you want lenght of the chapters to be this long then let me know or I will revert back to the previous chapter's lenght.
