“you shouldn’t lie”

  **  Episode-282 “you shouldn’t lie”** **    Alisa’s POV:**      I walked passing the main counter, I am busy lately… it getting hectic, I need new staff.. I need more staff to be exact..I am working on it… right now I am really tired but it’s almost time to end the day, so I am pulling myself together to end this day and go to my family… Tina was checking  the final list of new order, she is amazing, she really knows how to take care of everything.. I walked to her and said, “I am about to go home.. come on I will drop you…” Tina just smiled and she is being little too shy, that means she has preplanned plans, her expression tells me.. I asked her, “you have plans?” she just smiled more..   Tina nodded and said, “ Ken is taking me on date.. it’s been long and I need it..” I smiled at her and said teasing her, “well good for you… don’t make another baby..” she just winked .. she then flipped her hairs  dramatically and said, “I don’t mind…” I just chuckled as I walked out, I made sure to hug her.. I said as turned to have a glance at her, “well good luck..” she waved me back..     I sat in the car and the driver took me to the palace, I almost passed out in this trip  to home… I walked down, and entered the hallway… as I entered I noticed Edwin’s car in the drive way.. so he is home, he is really today… I smiled internally.. there is no way I will show all of it on the outside, I maintained my straight face… I walked in and saw Edwin’s mom… she take care of Kids because she don’t trust nanny…. She says no one deserves to take care of the kids, I didn’t argued because I trust her more than myself…  she is better than me in parenting, and we do have helpers though.. anyways handling two kids with different personalities.. but Edwin’s mom is in charge    Well.. two kids… my elder son Ernest and the younger one Alexis…  Ernest is 6 years old and Alexis is 4 year old… Alexis has blond hair but his eyes are just like me, so Edwin suggested we should name him Alexis.. it was really hard during the second pregnancy, I was really moody sick, and it was more painful too, but all happened in natural delivery without any trouble, but when I saw him for the first time I felt like I got the new life again..…  but I really appreciate the beautiful kids I have.. I was lucky, it is a fun story, Alexis was born midnight and Edwin was out of the country. I just couldn’t do much so I called Tina and Edwin’s mom with me like the previous time, Edwin’s mom didn’t tell Edwin this time. Neither Ken knew.. so Edwin arrives 2 day later and when he landed  from his flight, he came to the palace and we all managed to keep the Alexis birth secrete so no one knew about his birth…. when Edwin arrived to the palace he was surprised to the baby Alexis… he was mad at me at first about all of this…. but then he cooled down as he saw Alexis…. But all of that shock on Edwin’s face was worth it… really.. like he was surprised by seeing a new baby…    I walked in  the hall and hugged Edwin’s mom.. she said, “ Edwin is home too.. I was about to leave.. his dad is waiting” I really feel bad for making her take care of the kids but she won’t listen to me… I am so thankful, she is best grandma anyone can get…    I said with a light smile, “You can have dinner with us.. we can call dad too.. I will cook something delicious” she took her bag in mean time, lot of happen during these years..,.. a lot.. I mean Edwin’s grandfather passed away after Alexis was born, we gave him a royal funeral and 8 months ago, my grandpa also passed away, it was hard but I somehow got to senses, if Edwin and this family was not beside me then I would have never done this... .. I mean we had some hard times but some good too… I really miss both of them but we have to power over destiny…. After grandpa, Dad took care of Scott’s corporation and he made me the main shareholder, I didn’t wanted it , but dad insisted.. I got all the grandpa had… but I have some responsibilities…Dad helps me a lot there too… I rarely attend meeting but I know what is going on there..      Edwin’s mom’s voice got be to senses, she said, “No.. I can’t… Edwin’s dad has a party to attend and I am going too..” I smiled, I replied, “well then I hope it’s like a date..” she pinched my cheek and smiled…   She chuckled and said, “You can say that..”    I asked as I look around, “ were are my two monsters…”  Edwin’s mom chuckled and said, “in there room… they are reading books…” I smiled… reading books… good.. really good, I am impressed to be honest….     I just said, “well.. it good… they are going to real school soon..” yes.. they are getting homeschooled.. but I finally made Edwin agree on the normal school.. well there is this good school which is for the high status people.. even though I hate it.. but Edwin said the only school they can go is this because he is worried about their safety, I know but they need to know how the normal world works …. Soon I realized, Edwin was worried about their safety little too much.. he agreed to only this specific school because   well the news is this that the school is owned my Edwin’s dad…. Well.. well.. perfect way to spoil the kids, having their own school and granddad is the boss.. I hated it to be honest.. but at least they can have a school life.. maybe it’s not normal school but at least school life… that’s what is important right now.. I really don’t care about the grades and all, only thing I want is to get them a normal life and it’s hard to achieve…    Edwin’s mom left to her place and I walked to kids room first.. it’s right in front of our room so it’s easy to keep eye on him, well they are really naughty, so they need to be observed every single minute… Well Ernest is total copy of Edwin, he is cold and indifferent to other people, and he is full of energy, full of himself too…. no one can win against him and his wins every single time, with words or with smart actions, but he is a good kid too.. surprisingly he listen to me sometimes.. well Alexis only got my eyes and some part of my name.. he is full of overconfidence, he is active and he is kind of rude too.. yea.. these kids totally take after Edwin, they take attitude of their father like it runs in their blood.. where does this confidence comes from.. but I love them the way they are.. they are my kids I just love them more than anyone else.. they are my gems…   I opened the door and check on them reading.. as I open the door, I see Alexis dancing as he has earphone on… and Ernest is playing game on the tab… I sigh… reading?... well..  I am speechless, not surprised to be honest .. but both of them are unaware because they are too busy in their own world, they didn’t realized I just caught them in lie.... I pulled the tablet from Ernest and took the earphone too from Alexis… both  of them were surprised… the looked at each other then at me, they don’t seemed to gulty…    Now I was sitting on the one of their beds, folding my hands around my chest, I am kind of angry, not because they were not reading but they lied... these kids make me crazy.. both of them are standing in front of  me and looking at me without much of a expression.. they are normal .. really normal..     I said trying to soft but serious, “Ernest, Alexis… why do you lie to grandma? She trusted you that you were reading, studying…. But you two…” Alexis and Ernest shared a clap with a smile.. do they think I am proud of them for lying..    I said trying to hide my  anger, “Ernest..baby.. don’t tell lie… and Alexis you too.. it’s not good…”, I looked at them with the hope that they will understand.. I have no problem if they play a little here and there I don’t want them to lie with others, I want them be good kids…. Alexis said with a confused but valid expression, “Mom.. but if we didn’t lie then grandma won’t let us dance… and I really wanted to dance” I sigh.. his puppy eyes are working but I know this is just a trick, they are smarter than they appear. But he is cute.. really cute.. but I need to keep my parenting side intact.. I can’t lose against my own kids…   I heard Ernest saying, “Exactly…” god! what am I going to do with these kids.. Ernest is really cool and extra smart… I feel like he is smarter than me sometimes..    I turned to then again, this time being more serious and I  said, “No.. you shouldn’t lie to others.. and Ernest please don’t play too much mobile games,.. it’s not good.. play some real games with your little brother.. and Alexis.. baby… dancing is good.. but everything has its own limit..  I arranged the dance classes for  you as  you wanted.. now baby… do some study..” I looked at them to get some desired reaction…. But I got nothing for a second.. likes kids mom wants to know…    I was about to talk again  But I heard Ernest saying, “Mom.. Alexis wanted to dace.. so there is no way that we can do the same thing together.. I hate dance… I don’t do stupid things” I looked at him without words.. they are completely different and are smart.. so it’s hard to win against them…    Alexis said with a pout, “I am not doing  stupid thing.. dance is fun..” I sigh.. there is no use to talk.. they are too young for that… or I am just too stupid to do it    I was about to speak further but I heard Edwin’s voice, “Kids… ready for ice-cream…” I turned to see Edwin, he looked at me and then at kid.. god! he is always spoiling them.. well he is sometimes strict but it’s rare.. he says we need to give them space.. space… space…   The boys ran to Edwin ignoring me, and Edwin picked them up in his arms… both of them said, “Dad!.. let’s go to the play room…” yea.. yea.. these boys are always excited to go to this play room, their dad arranged a room with all the fun activities, he turned one of the halls to the play room, he has a indoor warmer playground with lot of fun activities… Edwin turned to me and said, “My dear wife.. come downstairs after changing.. I will be waiting…” he left with the kids, but before that he passed me a wink… the kids are over smart and the dad is still flirty, my life is hard but good, I don’t even know if I am complaining or nor… I just sigh… yea.. kids and the dad of the kids are little hard to understand and to handle.. and mom is confused…    I walked in my room as I said to myself, “Yea.. let’s get changed first I am kind of sweaty.. I need a shower” I closed the bed room door as I walked in.. I need a hot water shower… I am really tired.. I threw my bag on the bed and walked into the shower, I put my clothes away from my body, as I stepped in the bath room, it is already filled with warm water and some nice candles, the aroma.. it smells amazing.. I smiled, he prepared it.. he knows I am tried.. I am blushing.. I got in the shower to relax myself… my husband knows me well      After like 10 minutes I walked down stair.. I have no energy to go the play area,.. so I might just take a coffee, it’s late for coffee but who cares.. I really don’t….. I turned to kitchen, I will make myself a strong a coffee.. I walked in the kitchen and guess what kids an Edwin is here and both of the boys are screaming, “Ice-cream!... ice-cream!” they are full of energy…. I couldn’t help but smile….   Edwin nodded and pulled the ice-cream tub, an idea pop up… I walked to them and pulled the tub from Edwin as I said, “I will do it..” he nodded and said, “My Queen then one for me too..” I smiled at him.. but I am more focused on kids.. they need to learn that coming up with a lie is bad thing.. you won’t know till you face it yourself.. it’s mean but ok… I will do it…     I pulled 4 glass bowls, and placed  then on the kitchen counter, the kids are excited to see this, I smirked internally.. I scooped the ice-cream and filled the first 2 bowls ice-cream.... now I can see Alexis can’t control, he is clapping his hands together.. and Ernest is excited too.. like both of them wants the cup of ice-cream too bad..    I smiled internally…  I pulled the breakfast cereal box and pored some in the rest of the 2 bowls, I can see Edwin and kids are surprised.. I put the  cereal in front of them and said, “Enjoy…” I smiled and looked at Edwin, he nods maybe he got what I am doing….      Ernest and Alexis looked at each other and then at me… Ernest said, “Mom… this is cereal.. not ice-cream” I nodded with a smile, I said, “Now eat..” even if he is smart I am his mom.. mom knows the best..     Alexis whined, “No!!... mom this is not fair.. I want ice-cream..” Ernest looks a little angry, he said, “Mom… it’s cereal.. we want  ice-cream..” he was not screaming but his anger and annoyance was visible..    I looked at Edwin, I guess he knows what I am up to, that’s why he is not speaking in between.. I said smiling, “what are you saying baby.. it’s ice-cream.. just little crunchy …” Ernest is about to lose patience.. Ernest said, “No.. mom.. it’s not..” this time it was little louder…     Alexis is about to cry, I can see tears accumulating in his eye.. ok this is enough.. I said being serious, “Ernest and Alexis.. now you know what grandma will feel when she know you lied to her about reading.. babies.. grandma and us… all of us…  love you.. so please don’t’ lie.. it’s a bad thing. didn’t you feel bad after mom lied to you.. do you know now?”  Ernest looks down as if he was thinking something, he was analyzing his actions, he looks at me and then said, “sorry.. mom.. we won’t lie.. ever again..”.. yes.. it worked.. now the youngest one, I turned Alexis, I asked, “and you Alexis?” I wiped his tears., aww he is too cute,,  I feel bad but it is necessary. he said with a slight sniff, “I will never lie.. lie is bad..” I smiled and kissed them both on their forehead.. well sometimes I have to be creative with them to make them understand what I mean… I said as I kissed their cheeks again, “Love my babies..” Ernest hugged me, so did Alexis.. both of them said, “Love you.. mom..” aww.. I love them..    We heard Edwin, “well.. dad also loves you.. are you forgetting dad..” the kids ran to Edwin and pulled him down and kissed his cheeks, kids said, “Love you too… dad!” I chuckled.. they both ran back to their seats…   I passed them the ice-cream and both of them smiled, .. and stared digging in… I smiled and said, “do you like it..” both of them cheered together, “Tasty!!!” I chuckled out, I love them like this all happy and filled with smiles and innocence of childhood.. I don’t know what I will when they grow up,, they grow up fast.. really fast, I wish I could stop the time but I fear id I stop the time then I will lose the glorious future.. am I too mean, I don’t care at this moment…… Edwin put his hand on my shoulder and said, “well done Queen..” I just smiled at him.. I kissed his cheek and he looked at me with surprise…   He said to the boys, “so.. from now on everyone is going to listen what Queens say..” both of the kids cheered together with Edwin…  god! they are extra… but I love it… my little extra family…
