Chapter 14: Miya's Choice For Punishment

Rita rushed out of the kitchen as soon as she heard her voice. Reema was shocked by her sudden rushing and thought something might have happened in the kitchen and rushed in to check.

A few minutes later when the news clipping on Stanley is over, Rita goes to the kitchen and finds that her sister is searching for something near the kitchen counter and asked

"What do you want? Move I have to make tea before Grandma arrives."

Reema turned towards her and reprimanded her through her eyes placing her hands on the waist.

Rita was confused and questioned through her eyes asking 'What?'

Reema was about to open her mouth when she heard the alarm bell which was an indication that Grandma would arrive in less than ten minutes and moved from there without a word indicating that she had eyes watching her.

Rita was confused by her behavior but just shrugged it off and continued to prepare tea. After preparing and keeping the kettle in hot water, she moved toward her sister who was still angry and didn't respond to her. She was confused but before she asked what was the matter, the doorbell rang.

Both sisters looked at each other as they were still in time for their grandmother to come as she was always on time not even a second early or late.

Reema stood up and opened the door to her surprise nobody was there in front, just as she was about to peek out, suddenly somebody moved on the front making her jerk back feeling a hell of scared.

Mia moved inside leaving the scared soul at the door, she just barged inside toward Rita and said

"Save me, save me"

After ringing the bell she stood in front of the door when she saw a poodle coming towards her, she moved back and wanted to run and had just turned when she heard the door open. Mia didn't see Reema in fear and just rushed inside.

When Reema heard her cry, she got the idea as to why she was behaving like that and looked down. In front of her is a poodle, who is wagging its tail while looking at her. She picked the poodle happily and went inside.

Mia was explaining about the poodle as if it were carnivorous and was moving toward it as if it would be eating her up. As soon as she moved her eyes toward the door, she saw Reema coming closer and closer hugging the poodle. She squealed her lungs out and started moving behind Rita who was giggling.

Mia trembled in fear and said

"Reema please don't.... don't let it come... near me... I swear I won't steal the cookies..... made by you next time... but please allow me to steal them today so..... that I can have as much as I can."

In fear, she didn't know what she had blurted out and still looked innocently toward Reema. Mia had heard last night that Rema was preparing cookies at the time when she was on a call with her friend and had sneaked early morning to start her mission of stealing the cookies.

Miya knows that Reema will give her if asked for it which is not fun enough and loves to eat more of the delicious cookies, she would rather steal than ask.

Reema was shocked hearing this and thought 'She came here to 'steal' but why? Can't she ask politely, I could have given it to her wholeheartedly.'

Reema sighed she knew that whenever the cookies were made more than half the cookies were eaten by Miya, but still she could not help but complain, today By Seeing the poodle she blurted out everything on her own. She can have more fun by teasing her now.

Reema playfully said

"Oh, is it but I don't believe you. I'd prefer punishment rather than forgiveness. So..... what punishment do you prefer? Your choice....."

Miya was dumbfounded and thought 'My choice, what is my choice... hmm idea'

"Sis give me a big box full of your handmade cookies."

She said signaling the biggest box in the kitchen

Reema sighed seeing her puppy face she just shook her head lightly and moved from there. She showed fake anger toward Miya and as soon as she turned she smiled seeing her antics.

The doorbell rang

Miya was confused for a second and thought to wait for the result of the part played by her. She knows this sister of her best friend will give in to her very easily.

Miya folded her hands on her back and slowly and playfully moved towards Rita.

Rita got confused she knew her friend very well. She saw just now how she played with her sister and tried hard not to laugh. Now seeing her moving towards her, she had a bad suspicion that she was up to something.

Rita hesitantly asked

"What..... What are you doing? What do you want Were you not satisfied with my sister earlier"

Miya's expression changed and said

"No, nothing about your sister dissatisfies me. She's a treasure worth preserving."

Well, she was not thinking about that but about her brother. She wanted to bring up the topic of her brother but before she could open her mouth, Rita said

"Why are you here early morning?"

Showing fake anger Mia said

"What now you are not welcoming me, what a friend I have, what should I do now, Oh god please forgive this ungrateful soul"

The last part she said pointing at Rita.

Rita got a headache from the acting of her friend, she knows that if she says something now then again this drama will continue. So she chose not to waver her further and kept quiet.

Near the door

Reema opened the door and saw that the owner of the poodle was standing in front. She smiled and gave the poodle back.

"Thank you"

The owner said.

The owner of the poodle was Daniel
