Anthea was enjoying her peaceful time with gardening, but a sudden voice caught her off guard and with a slight frown, she said "Tal, if one day, I would have a sudden heart attack, then the cause of my death would certainly be you. And how many times should I say, atleast make a sound when you are walking" anger was clearly visible in her voice.
Tal scratched her head and with a sheepish smile she said "sorry mom, it became a habit". This made Anthea's expressions conflicted, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. when Tal examined this, she slowly placed her hands on Anthea's shoulder, and rubbed small circles on Anthea's shoulders and then she said "No,not again mom, it was my decision and this argument was already over"
Anthea can only nod her head reluctantly at this, though she is not a conservative women and she supports her daughter's every decision. But this decision was something that she couldn't convince herself, because it involved Tal's life on the line and no mother could see her children in danger. But here Tal was practically spending her daily life in danger, and she couldn't even do anything, this thought alone stirs up her heart, But she couldn't stop her daughter. Because she thinks it's Tal right to pursue her happiness and she shouldn't be the one to stop her from it.
Finally after a minute which felt like a decade to Tal, Anthea asked "what's the matter princess, why are you here"? she turned around and looked properly at Tal, only then she realised Tal's muscles were tensed. With an elevated voice Tal said everything to her mom and at the end she said "Mom I want to kill him".
Pfft Anthea bit her lower lip, to stop herself from laughing, but she was utterly failed. Well it was not really Anthea's fault to laugh, who could literally stop themselves, when they see Tal's puffed up cheeks and the way she said she would kill Reagan. If someone would hear it, they would really think it was a threat.
But when they would see Tal's face they couldn't bring themselves to believe it, her delicate face was painted with red flushed cheeks as her lips formed a thin line and her hands were folded against her chest, she was looking too adorable for one's own good. if Ruchi had seen Tal's face, she would definitely chase Tal to pinch her cheeks.
It's bad that this little kid don't like pinching her cheeks, otherwise I would have probably pinched her cheeks by this time, Anthea thought while releasing an audible sigh.
Tal frowned upon her mom's laugh with displeasure, so Anthea stopped laughing and with a serious tone she said " Okay princess, I am sorry about that. But now let's not waste our time, it's time to start our next plan" announced Anthea making Tal's slightly relaxed muscles tensed again.
