Each step made her feel more itchy than before , seeing how that troubling feeling of tingling spread all over her arms and neck she believed it's the doing of mosquitoes or some other insects,
" ouch it hurt humph who dare bit this princess just wait I'll spray Insecticide when I'm back... ouch.. I need to hurry ayy it's itching badly.. "
it didn't take long when she arrived at the big tree's side panting all over :
" pant .. mama ... papa ..pant..."
" what happened to my darling tell daddy " her father went hurriedly to her side wishing that she didn't get herself into some kind of troubles again , yet his worries turned real when he saw Lilah's face and arms who were turning red by the no stoppable heat coming from the itchy spots will trying to cool it down by rubbing it hardly
" stop rubbing your arms and neck it'll just hurt your skin dear ... let me see , what did you touch to make u like this " without waiting for her response he pulled her arms trying to figure something out , at the same time Lilah's mother saw the plants who were put in a small basket made of straw that she took with her before and burst out laughing till her breath become unstable.
Lilah wasn't concerned about her itching anymore nor she let her father inspect her arms more after seeing her mother laughing, she said happily after taking the herbs in the basket out handing them to her
" Mama see what I found .... it's mint your favourite hihi we can drink it at home hehe "
Lina didn't reject her daughter's kind intention nor accepted instead she asked in return will trying hard to not laugh " do u feel some kind of itching and burning sensation in your arms and neck Lilah ?? "
" how did you know " Lilah put down the basket and showed her arms and neck to her mother wishing to get a solution that can make her feel better , Lina in return took a bottle of water
" my little baby you always put us in trouble yet this time you did for yourself she chuckled before continuing " this is not mint does it smell like mint ?? " seeing the look in her daughter's face she said " no ! right !? but this plant can makes you feel itching all over your body if you are not careful when handling it, look how you become .. but don't worry the utmost thing that could happen is you staying at the hospital for a week " she rejoiced secretly while watching her daughter's reaction ' now she will not be rushing over troubles for a few days without being careful hahaha but she looked so funny hahaha '
Lilah who was afraid let a sigh of relief and said in a low voice " then I don't mind staying more than a week in the hospital , look I've become fat that I couldn't wear my favourite dress" she said seriously " staying at the hospital will just help me regain my fitting and healthy body .. oh yes and because the doctor will say no to fast food that'll be a good reason to not eat potatoes chips at night he he " she looked lively again after saying all this , but her parents looked speechless at their stupid yet smart kid.
regained her serious look Lina took the water bottle and helped wiping her daughter's neck and arms ' maybe I'll just forget about this for now my baby girl will be smarter than both of us in the future , sigh.'
while the both daughter and mother put ointment after cleaning the skin Mr dad prepared the food they brought for lunch.
the family of three enjoyed eating under the big tree not after Lilah asked her mom if she encountered that kind of plants who makes the one burn from itching,
" haha haha yes of course my princess , when I was young I had always liked to play around just like you.. at that time I was with my Grandma she was the one who taught me how to handle this stinging nettle rash itch .. well it would be better to be able to recognise those type of plants so you will not hurt your skin like today "
Lilah said dispirited " how I wish it was mint "
this time it was her dad who talked : " haha Lila if you are afraid to not eat something at dinner no problem we can take this plant with us and cook it too hahaha "
" don't joke papa do you want your intestine to feel itchy eww" Lilah said will making a sneering face to her father , poor him whenever he talk his daughter give him same look and sneer even if he wasn't at fault or did nothing.
" hahaha no no it'll not, this plant is edible you'll like it after eating it "
the atmosphere surrounding them was warm like the sunlight, playing together hide and seek after lunch Lilah was so energetic that she run so much till her cheeks turned red and when her parents sat down from tiredness she insisted for them to play with her again and again, it was at this days of weekend that Mr jade regrets his eagerness to pass time with family forgetting how lively his daughter is.
time passed quickly and it's already evening when they packed their belongings returning home , Lilah didn't have energy to walk so how could she have some left for talking this made her parents relax all the way home.
Days later Mr jade went on a business trip which will take him few days before returning home at that day he hugged both his wife and daughter assuring them each at once that he'll take care of himself and bring a lot of gifts. Mrs Lina looked worried while Lilah immersed in her thoughts of how beautiful the gifts would be. the next day mother Lina went to shop alone as her daughter refused to go saying she got important things to do .
