Change.

"Go tell her dinner is ready" Cass pushed Ricky up the stairs.

He frowned hesitating to go. Vanita wasn't the same girl he loved seeing her smile. Since the day she arrived her presence in the house was barely felt, the only time they all saw her smile was when she saw her new room.

Arthur's father and his uncles had outdone themselves with decorating and getting it ready for her. She had smiled and hugged Arthur's father.

"Thank you, I love it " she had said.

Arthur and his father left for work again leaving her behind with them. But Vanita wasn't jolly and cute like the way they remembered. Barely eating or talking but spending her time upstairs in her room.

"I don't want to " Ricky turned back.

"But she has to eat and Arthur will kill us if he finds out that we are not feeding his girlfriend ".Cass frowned pushing Ricky back up.

"Then do it " he cried to Cass.

"I can't I have to prepare the table the way she likes it " he lied.

"What's going on?" they heard a voice ask.

They ran to him, " Ohhh it's good your back " Ricky cried hugging Rimuel.

He glared pushing them both off him. " I asked what you two were arguing about?" he said.

"It's your girlfriend. She hasn't been eating well like she used too " Cass reported.

"Ohh and she doesn't leave her room that often. We are worried about her " said Ricky

Arthur gave his coat to the maid and ran up the stairs, before disappearing he turned saying, " Bring our dinner upstairs in a few minutes "then he vanished.

Silence filled the hall, Cass whirled to Ricky. " Didn't you hear what he said let's go get the food ready "?

Vanita had just had a shower and was drying her hair when a knock came on her door.

" Hold on Uncle Cass am coming," she said tightening her robe she ran to the door.

But it wasn't Uncle Cass who was at the door but the only person she wanted to see.

"Rimuel!?" she breathed.

He smiled "I Am home," he said.

She felt her heart rate get elevated as tears she didn't know have formed blinded her sight.

"I missed you " she cried.
