It's All Started With A Lie

Bonus chapter

Uff, handling them is the biggest task, and they all left me alone to deal with these seven devils along with Mitra, making it 8.

It was actually my holiday... I mean I gave myself a holiday because I was tired. Yesterday we attended an awards function as I got the best author award but they gave me the award at the end of the event so I have to wait till midnight to leave the venue.

I thought I could sleep all day today but Arnav got an important business meeting so he and Ajay left for the meeting. Pooja had an event to arrange, so she left for work, leaving Adarsh and Advik with me.

Avi got an issue at his workplace, and Payal also left for work, leaving Parthu and Pragna.

Then Peter and Srija also went to the meeting with Arnav and Ajay and there was no one to look after Mitra so I took responsibility for her too. Srija said her mother will come in the afternoon and take Mitra home.

And that's how I became caretaker for 8 kids.

I am not even capable of looking after myself, but God gave me 3 little devils and seriously, Arohi and Achyuth are evils, they are naughty kids but my Anvesh, he is an angel. God gave me two devils and one angel but I love them all equally.

I played with them all morning, enjoying myself in their silly games. we played cricket, badminton, catch catch, ring game, hide and seek, barbie games and finally I was tired and sleepy.

"How about we play a game," I commented after eating pizza. They said they are hungry and of course I can't cook for all of them so we ordered pizza.

"What game, Mamma," Achyuth and Arohi asked.

These two always like to play games but they don't like to play mobile games or video games.

If they want to play, they just gather all the kids and ask, I mean force them to play.

"What game, Atha(aunt)," Pragna asked cutely. This is my little devil.

"Sleeping game," I replied and they all gazed at me confused.

"It's 12pm now. Whoever sleeps first and doesn't wake up till 3pm will get a gift of their liking."

They clearly are not buying it but I can't handle them anymore. I need to lure them.

"Maybe a bicycle of their liking or a camera," I can clearly see Adarsh and Arohi face changing.

"Maybe an art set and a history book," Anvesh's face changed.

"Barbie set," This time Pragna's face lit up.

"And you may get a picnic this weekend,"

"And we all can watch a horror movie after waking up from the nap," I completed.

"Come on, Mamma, what are you waiting for," Arohi exclaimed as they all ran to the kid's room.

I arranged a big kid's room with 7 beds in our home. On holidays all the kids play here and sleep here. Here all the walls are filled with their art pieces and the floor with their toys.

We attached all the beds and took a nap but it didn't last till 3pm but 2pm. I am still thankful, at least they slept for two hours.

And yet again we all are in the living room and they are playing, screaming, fighting what not. and also, they are making me run behind them, making me scream and all.

Mitra's grandmother came and took her home. Mitra is such a good girl unlike our devils, she is so soft and gentle.

"It's mine," Adarsh huffed.
