Chapter 8 (Celebrations)

In the morning the first ray of sun broke through the window and landed on my eyes, with the cold breeze blowing my hairs, carrying with it the smell of morning dew stirred my nose, with th melodious humming in the background I woke up.

'Aria' no I should say mother, was lying by my side, casual rumbling through my hairs with her soft hands.

[ little alan did you wake up… good morning ]

[get ready mamma will change your nighty panty and then we will have the bath.]

'Ahh so embarrassing even I now know that she is my mother and all, and I am just, after all, a kid but doing all these activities affect the mind of this old man here.

'Lady the one you are looking at maybe your boy but inside him, I am more aged than you'

But then what can a week old boy can say … I just kept looking at her, staring deeply into her beautiful eyes I reminded myself once again of all that has happened to me and with that I let me go with the flow.

With this morning passed in a breath, bathing feeding, and resting all the morning went with as usual activities but there was a slit change, everything felt a little good.

It was already full bright outside and the sun was hanging directly above us. I was quietly soaking in the melodious tune of aria's or mothers voice, but to interrupt it the bum devil o sorry 'papa' came in. carrying with him a bag made up of strange material.

[Little Alan see papa brought new custom cloths for u ]

[ these clothes u will be wearing at Your first birthday celebration tonight. ]

Said papa in a quick tone pointing and waving a new set of clothes over my head. And as he was ding so I saw a look of surprise on mothers face.

[o sorry dear…I …am… I forget to tell u dear our village has organized a function for our newborn child and the whole village is getting decorated, with lights and sparkles for tonight's celebration.]

Papa's face was quite happy and his whole body was jumping up with energy. I think me coming into his life was a very big thing for him.

[Thank you for doing what I said … but was it really necessary to invite the whole village, we could have just invited a few of our friends u know we don't have that much money]

[Honey leave that worries onto me I know we are in rough condition now but with Alan's arrival, everything is fine now u can be rest assured I will bear the full responsibility for my actions.]

With saying so Papa held mother's hand and stared directly into her eyes. His eyes were full of determination and hope.

[Don't go full puppy eyes mode on me ok. Do I really believe that you being village chief is no role in this.]

[What …. No.no .no. my dear this is purely for yours and little Alan's happiness this is nothing to do with my title]

Way wing his hand frantically he tips toed back stepped and left the door with one fell sweep. Meanwhile, mother was staring at the door.

[Sigh… he is so hopeless still maintaining his Rich village chief image at such an age. He really is hopeless. Listen well my boy Alan never become like your father. Try to be a gentleman not gofer like your father …sigh how did I fall for him…]

With one hand on face, she sighed and shacked her face in helplessly.

It was quite entertaining for me to see these two quarrels over such topics but also it put some ideas in my head.

Like my father is village chief and as far as I know, a person appointed as village chief is a person respected by many and should have considerable strength to back their words. Otherwise, this position can be easily taken by any passerby. And it is the duty of the Village Chief to uphold the justice of that area as well a collects the taxes for that area. Well, this was all in past as far I know this can be totally change. As it has been 3000 years since then.

Dwelling on these useless thoughts was obviously meaningless now that I don't know their answer or have no way to ask these questions. But the point to be noted from this conservation was that this new little family of mine is not likely as rich as it seems to be and the reason is most likely concerned with me.

Well I don't know what was the reason, but at least I know we are not noble or royals or rich and that means I am not going to eat Dishes that I use to eat in the past. Well, I even don't think that this body is capable of handling such dishes. But I sure do look forward to tonight. I am also pretty eager to see how the current era village and villagers look like. And I would also like to see how much is this era progressed.

With these thoughts in my mind, I was quite happy actually and thus I broke out into s smile. seeing me smiling made mother also smile.

[seeing you smile I am so happy … I think little alan is also excited for tonight]

[tonight… oh what the hell… I didn't realize it is tonight and now that the whole village will be coming I needed to be prepared ]

Saying so she gently placed me on the side of the pillow and put a pillow on my all side. And started frantically run from this place to that place

[ah what to wear…]

[ah what to go along with this…]

[he should have brought clothes for me too…]

[ah why It has to be today…]

[ it has been months since I last saw them…]

[ how will they react t see me …]

[he is such a fool …]

Saying so my mother started from going from one wardrobe to other and then again in front of the mirror. Putting variety on clothes on herself and seeing herself in the mirror and at last, she shouted

[I don't have any clothes to wear…]

Well, at least one thing has not changed in 3 millennia, Females never have enough clothes, even havens infinite wardrobe can't satisfy them.
