“What orphanage you had adopted her from?”

Her voice heavy, “Twilight.”

“Grandma, are you retiring to bed already?” I saw her putting off her glasses and folding the blanket she had snuggled in.

“Yes. I have to call Alice tomorrow morning.”  I helped her in gathering her the book and her sewing needles.

“Your student?” She shook her head, smiling a little. “No, dear. My assistant in school.”

“Oh. You have any issue there?” She sighed and gave a hitch to her shawl wrapped around her.

“Alice told me she wasn’t being able to run the culinary classes all alone. Yeah, there are other staffs but it seemed she couldn’t take these many responsibilities for too long. It’s already more than two weeks I’m here.” I didn’t want to ask her yet I did.

“Are you going to leave?” I knew my voice was a little emotional when I asked her. I couldn’t help that. She had been so close to me in these few days that I felt like I had known her for ages.

She chuckled lightly and placed everything down on the couch. “Sweetie, I couldn’t live here forever. I have to go back. My students there need me moreover I have a life in there. I will continue to visit you and even you will do along with Damien. We can call frequently too.” I smiled tightly at her words.

I didn’t even know if I could ever meet her again. After she would left there wouldn’t be a need for me to act as his girlfriend anymore. I wouldn’t have anymore reason to stay here. It was me who had fallen for him not the vice verse. And I would try to keep this to myself alone. He shouldn’t be bothered. 

“Yeah we can.” She walked towards me and engulfed me in her motherly hug.

“Damien loves you, hun and even you love him.” She pulled out from the hug and looked at me. “I haven’t seen him caring about anyone anymore in the last five years.” She sighed. “He was so different five years back and so was this house.” There was until sadness in her eyes which she didn’t speak about. “This isn’t my place to tell and I know he will tell you about himself soon.”

She patted my cheeks and smiled before gathering up her things in her arms. “I will be visiting here now more often knowing I have a granddaughter here now who gets emotional at the name of my leaving.”

Her cheeks burned at her words as she chuckled again. The wrinkles around her eyes getting more prominent with the smile. “You're so innocent, sweetie. I hope you remain the same.”

You didn’t know, grandma how tainted I am.
