He drove the car slowly on the long drive way, looking at the large castle like house ahead of him. "Wow!! Foody princess already lives in a castle!!" He then stopped the car in the porch, getting out of the car, holding the several packets in both his hands.
As soon as he was about to ring the door bell from his elbow, the door of the house flew open instantly, by a house maid .
"h.e.l.lo, I am here to see Isa!" Jacob smiled, feeling silly holding so many bags of bakery stuff.
"Yes! Upstairs please!" The maid smiled. "Do you want a help with that weight sir?"
"Ahh! No that"s fine!!" Jacob pursed his lips in embarras.e.m.e.nt. He felt like a working father, coming after days"s work and bringing goodies for all his children, loaded in both his hands.
He climbed the stairs hurriedly, waiting to get rid of the packets, when suddenly some one called his name from behind.
"h.e.l.lo Jacob!" Came a lady"s calm voice.
Jacob closed his eyes in embarrss.e.m.e.nt and turned to look down the stairs.
"I am Isa"s mother!" The lady smiled lovingly at the boy.
"Ohh!! h.e.l.lo, Mrs. Wilson. I am Jacob Miller, Isa"s friend!" Jacob climed down the stairs again, greeting the lady respectfully. He was spell bound by the lady"s grace and elegance. No wonder, Isa is so beautiful, he thought.
"I know that dear. Isa keeps telling me about you! She is all praises for you!" The lady patted the boy"s shoulder and then frowned looking at the packets in his hands. "Oh my G.o.d!! Did she tell you to buy all this!! Seriously this girl is too much! Making the guests work!!"
"Ahhahah!! No Mrs. Wilson, these are the presents for Isa. More like a surprise to her!" Jacob smiled.
"Aww! You did not have to do that sweetheart!!"
"Haha!! Trust me it"s nothing, specially compared to the girl"s gigantic appet.i.te!" Jacob chuckled.
The lady laughed too at his remark. "That"s true! That"s true!! She is excited that you are coming! She is waiting for you upstairs. Second room, to your right!"
"Thank you!" Jacob smiled and headed upstairs, while the lady looked at the boy with sad eyes. "Such a lovely boy, having so much to face! G.o.d bless him!"
Jacob knocked on the second door, and Isa spoke loudly from inside. "Do you even know, how to knock!!?? Wow!! Just come inside!!"
Jacob grinned opening the door. "Ta daaaa!!! Surprise! Surprise!!!!" He placed all the packets on a table before Isa, happily.
Isa"s eyes twinkled looking at the packets. "Ohh!!! My G.o.d!! Chocolates??!!!"
