Chapter Nine : My First Kiss! Almost..

Taking a deep breath, I started opening the latest clue with number 3 and my cell phone started ringing.

I removed it from my back pocket and saw moms name flashing.

Dang, I forgot to inform her that I would be late.

I picked up the call and started pleading before she could get angry and scold me "Sorry mom. Am really, really sorry! I forgot to inform you I shall get late."

"Ohhkaay. You are sounding guilty so it's okay. But where are you?" she asked, easily forgiving me.

I told her what happened and promised her that I shall be home soon. I did not know what the next clue was and whether I shall be able to decode it sooner. If yes, then I do not know where I would have to run next.

"It would have been okay if you stayed out but.. Naina is very hyper right now. Moreover, the maid was not feeling well today, so I gave her an off. Now your dad and I have to leave for a meeting and we cannot leave her alone. So you need to come home now dear" she explained.

"Okay mum, I'll be there in a few minutes" I replied and kept the phone.

'The clue shall have to wait and so shall me!' I said to self and with a resigned sigh, I kept the latest clue in the bag with the other ones.

When I pulled into my house, I saw that the pipe that we use to water plants was lying around at the foot of the door and water was flowing out, creating a mess.

It is to water the plants not to flood them and us!

Stepping out of the car, I quickly went inside the garden and closed the tap.

I walked carefully to prevent myself from falling down or slipping in mud, while I walked back towards door.

This reminded me of Donald's fall a few days back, and I smiled.
