OFF to the cozy shore

" Congrats Mrs. Isopha!!! Since you'll be enjoying a happy vacation at Halvalla, I'll be left all alone at the grocery. Anyways, I'm so happy for you... enjoy your days!!!", Mrs. Brooks, a neighbor of Gwen's mother exclaimed to her in excitement.

Mrs. Isopha wasn't on a mood to carry on a conversation, whose ear's was shut due to happiness.

She only rooted for Gwen, who was about to recieve the voucher to Halvalla at the presentation stage.

Her daughter Gracie, felt so embarrased of her mothers mannersim towards her neighbor, which made her bent forward and apologized to the neighbor, for her mother's rash behaviour.

" It's okay dear! I know how much your mom loves discounts and free vouchers! Let her enjoy the moment, I'll talk to her later", Mrs. Brooks said to Gracie with a bright smile, but her words literally sounded as if she was jealous of her mother.

Gracie couldn't believe how uneasy she felt when Mrs. Brooks denoted her mom as a miser.

" Mom!!! Why are you being like this? Why did you ignore Mrs. Brooks words, do you know how embarrassed I felt instead of you? Come to your right mind, please don't do anything insane!!!", Gracie cried to her in vain, whose ears wasn't open to her words too, solely excited to the activities of her beloved son.

Meanwhile, Gwen enjoyed insane amount of love and respect from the people, where all his dreams came true just in one day.

He was lucky to create a moment with Mr. Grafen in one stage, who offered him the priceless posession of his family, Purple Clathanite.

" My family had been protecting this rare gem for decades, which gives immense luck and potential ability to the owner. Since I had been preserving this Gem, I always wanted to pass on its ownership to someone who derserves it".

Mr. Grafen said and presented the Glossy prism to Gwen.

Within the prism, a intergallatic image was seen, where peices of white matters moved as if the stars.

Gwen felt overwhelmed by the beauty of it, where he couldn't believe his eyes on how fanatic it was.

" Boy, listen carefully! The thing you're taking hold off isn't ordinary as it's name sounds! Many mysteries about it are kept as secret for years and you wouldn't know what this gem would give you or change you into! You have no right to sell this to anyone nor change its ownership. You'll be monitored in case we need it".

When he felt happy at first, Mr. Grafen's last words kind of made Gwen suffocated, to take responsibily in caressing a gem.

Finally, the voucher for the luxurious trip was offered, where the gathered staffs covered him by flower garlands and fancy ornaments.

The ceremony took place for an hour, where they enjoyed the fullest with delicious treats and soft drinks.

A flight to halvalla the next day, they all reached home early, where the view of beautiful weather touched everyones heart.

" HONEY! Don't forget my digestion sachets.. there's no word as diet in my life for the next three days!", Mrs. Isopha said in merry, tucking load of clothes into a small green suitecase.

As soon she said, Gwen's father jumped out of nowhere and asked her with a terrying face," Then, what about your promise about diet? Didn't you make it as a resolution if Gwen wins?".

She just walked passed him with a poker face, saying all her words were merely a show to please the mercy of god.

Gwen laughed, so does his sister Gracie.

" Maybe I shouldn't believe all the rumors about my beloved wife, even does she accepts it! Ahh! I need to maintain her self-esteem", Mr. Isopha said in a loud tone, making his wife laugh out loud in embarrasement as well as melting her heart through his caring words.

No matter whatever said talked about her, the family knew how interesting Mrs. Isopha was, a carefree mom with a amusing personality.

Her degree of desire was far more higher than her children, but still she was the one more sought at home when things get difficult.

Gwen and Gracie got the fairness and glowly amber eyes from her, often resembling her gestures too.

While at every home children were pampered by elders, it was a total reverse at Gwen's home, where his mother was treated with more love and concern by the rest.

They all giggled and laughed at each other faces, until they packed up their stuffs.

" Gracie, join me! Let dad and Gwen go to the store by themselves!", Mrs. Isopha called on her daughter from the kitchen, who happened to go out with them.

" Mom! I'd run out of snack and cosmetics! I wanna go with them", she yelled back at her.

" No dear! There's no time for that! I got to finish dinner and go clean up the living hall. Give me a hand, we can wrap things soon and it'll also help you learn the basics of cooking! Come here", Mrs. Isopha shouted again, giving strict orders that time.

The family like every other household seemed lovely and chaotic, fun as well as adorable, where the parents always taught their kids on the importance of staying united and maintaing peaceful bond with the relatives.

Gracie was put on pressure, as it was a age where she felt annoyed by elders advices and orders.

She with a liveless face, did whatever her mom asked her to add into the pan, not even taking a glance of its amount.

Poor Sevanna, she never monitored what her daughter was doing, putting so much of trust on her.

Meanwhile, Gwen and his father seemed so happy at the store, adding to the cart whatever their hands picked.

Mr. Isopha was careful on picking up items his daughter asked him for, who sent him a secret text without her mother's knowledge.

Sevanna seemed busy in her phone, as her relatives called her one by one verifying about the game. She blended the fruits and spoke to them on one hand, whereas behind stood behind her, facing the burner.

" One second Mrs.val! Gracie, how is it going?", Mrs. Isopha asked and turned to her daughter with a smile, requesting the aunt of her, to stay put on the call.

As soon Gracie opened the lid, Mrs. Isopha literally jumped out of her skin, getting shocked by the insane colour, the green sauce pasta had turned out into.
