Chapter 14: It Feels Heavy For Some Reason

The maids at the mansion were busy preparing the garden for the small gathering later.

Carla's cousins would be coming over and play with her. Her mom was much more excited than her that she told the maids to prepare a small pool and a mini house in the garden.

Carla let her mother do what she wants, it looks fun anyway. She waited for the front door and from this view, she could see who come in from the gate.

She was wearing a jumper dress with a rabbit face on the front. She also wore rabbit designed shoes. She couldn't wear slippers for now as she would always slip her tiny feet inside and left the slippers. It was uncomfortable to move around in slippers too.

She wore a pigtail hairstyle that made her fluffy red cheeks cuter.

She waited for minutes at the front and let everyone passed by to her.

Some maids asked her to wait in the garden, however, Carla would only smile and say her cousin's name.

Everyone thought she was cute and kind. They let her sat on the clean floor in the front door and secretly looked at her in case of an emergency.

Then, she saw the gate opened and walked carefully to received her guests. Some guards immediately left their posts and ran towards her to helped her.

With her tiny feet, they would worry for her that she might fall. And, who wouldn't help a cute toddler right?

They just wanted to carry her, however, they didn't want the miss to feel discomfort.

Carla walked beside the fountain and went straight to the gate.

A family of 4 went out of the car when they saw her. They greeted her.

"Ihke (Ike), Ayen (Irene)!" Carla ran towards them and held their hands.

Ike gripped her hand from excitement while Irene was once again shy and hid behind her brother while holding Carla's hand.

Carla laughed softly, she guided her cousins in while tottering. She ignored her aunt and uncle, though they didn't mind as they understood that this was normal for kids.

The maids guided the couple to the garden while Carla and her cousins walked through the side. Though, Carla was simply tottering.

Step step step

'Dang it, these tiny feet making me exhausted...'

Irene held Carla's right hand while Ike held Carla's left hand while looking at her. They were afraid she would fall at any moment as she walked like a drunk person.

Although Carla guided them to the garden, it would look like the twin were the ones leading.

"Cher wiw be losh of fod waywing cher (There will be lots of food waiting there)!" Carla enthusiastically said.

Irene shyly smiled at her and felt comfortable now. Ike nodded and was still focused on guiding Carla to walk.

The guards and a few maids who followed them kept looking at Carla and whispered to each other.

"Should I carry her?"

"No! This would be her best achievement if she totters-- I mean, walk by herself."

"I'm worried about her head. It feels heavy for some reason."

"Shh, you're so rude. It's normal for babies."

"Ahh, she's too cute and fluffy, I wanna carry her."

"No, she'll get uncomfortable with you. But she will be fine if it's me."

"Huh, you wish"

"Ahem!" The whispering behind the kids was stopped by the head maid as she glared at them.

They went back to their position and behaved, then continues to follow the kids.

Carla and the twins surely heard them, however, they let them be as they knew they only cared for her.

She knew that and was pleased to know they care. However, she felt embarrassed about her big head. She felt like she was Dora the Explorer with a lollipop head and a stick but fluffy body.

Then, they had arrived in the garden. Roses with different colors aligned with the orchids hanging while the tulips were near the fountain.

The moment they stepped into the garden, they could feel elegance in the atmosphere.

"It's... beautiful.." Irene was astonished.

"Cool," Ike said.

Carla on the other hand was huffing as she was exhausted tottering around.

'It's okay self, I'll grow soon... I'll grow soon!'

Leila, Earl, and Rosella were already on the table prepared by the maid when they saw the three kids came. Leila walked to them and embrace Carla.

Carla hugged her back and let her mother carry her, she was truly exhausted as she couldn't feel her feet anymore.

Leila brought her and the twins followed them to the playhouse near the forest. This was made for them as a playground.

The playhouse was the same as a small room as there was a couch chairs table. Since they can't put a real bathroom inside, they put a mini pool just behind it.

As for the television, they put a radio inside. It would be dangerous for kids if there were electricity inside. Thus, the lights inside were battery lights. Well, that is only if they would stay until tonight.

There were flowers as a decoration and fruits on the basket where the window is.

Ike and Irene were astonished to see the playhouse and felt delighted. Irene ran inside and peek at the window.

She loved it so much!

Ike on the other hand felt embarrassed as it was a little girlish. Still, he liked it as his sister loved it.

Carla saw their faces and she was grateful to her mother who arranged it. She kissed her mother while in her embrace as thanks.

Leila was stunned but smiled at her. "You're welcome." She put her down on the mini doorstep, "Enjoy!"

Leila didn't bother them anymore to make them feel comfortable around. She went to entertained her brother-in-law and sister-in-law at the table a little bit far from the playhouse.

Ike helped Carla went inside the playhouse and grabbed an apple from the basket. He was stunned as it was real, he put it back as he didn't feel like eating it yet.
