Zephyra Point of View

That's right! I'm that great.

I, who is stupendous, can even make an old dried-up lady to become pregnant. Not by myself, obviously!

Today must be one of my lucky days. Right from the morning, I've been getting blessings in disguise.

I was actually angry and disappointed with Valen bud for not promoting my Youtube channel in the seminar this morning, I wanted to catch up with him and remind him of his promise but before I could, he left with his Pollen PA.

I was truly heartbroken!

I was expecting to become famous and known after the seminar and all the fire was splashed with ice cold water.

Say, who wouldn't be unhappy?

But something amazing happened in the next hour when I received a call from Via and Oreo. They informed me about the dinner invitation they got from Valen Bud's mother and that she would be calling me to invite me as well.

Before I could wonder more about the issue, I indeed received a call from a very kind sounding with soft pudding like voice.

That's Valen bud's mom!

She gave me an invitation to join them in their family dinner get-together and that she would be picking us up from our residence since it is on their way as well.

I was stunned.

I mean, I don't even know that woman, I never spoke to her or anyone from the family except for her son; then why was I and my friends invited to their family gathering?

Confused, I called Valen Bud to ask about it but found that I couldn't reach him at all.

So, with no other go, I got myself decked up to prim by six in the evening. Well, since the invitation did come, why not just go and see what it is all about?

Any other person in my place, including Via and Oreo, think that 'uncalled favour leads to disaster'. But I actually think the opposite.

An uncalled favor can spark a surprise.

Via and Oreo too came back home from work and dressed up in their bests. As promised, unlike her son, the sweet pudding voice lady did come with her whole family to pick us up.

The only unexpected thing here was – the visit of the old and young Grants'.

What a timing it was though!

Both the Valens and the Grants came almost at the same time. But the vigorous and grateful Grants rushed faster and reached me first.

First thing I noticed was the old Mrs and Mr. Grant faces have a mix of some many white, black and grey emotions that I almost went colourblind.

Then it was the young Grant couple who looked happy undoubtedly but also very awkward with weird frown on their faces.

I found it strange but it was only when the young man Grant thanked me for giving them a health amulet and a pregnancy amulet for the old couple did, I see where those colours on their faces are coming from.

The old man and woman are still doing it?

What a romantic wrinkly couple!

By the time Valen family walked to us, the Grants are almost accusing me for making the old lady pregnant.

I mean, dude, I am not manufactured in a way to make a woman pregnant. That credit should definitely go to the old man beside her who is blushing red.

But amidst the whole fiasco, I did realize the crux of the problem.

And that was –

I gave out the wrong charms yet again!

The pregnancy charm was for the young Grants and the health preserving charm was for the old Grants but I mixed them up!

My parents, their parents, their parents and all the predecessors of my tribe have been exceptional in handing out the charms then where does my handing out wrong charms come from?

Seeing the Valen family who came for us in shiny long cars and their naturally welcoming smile, I cannot give them a bad first impression right?

So, I somehow wrapped up the matter with the Grants that all happens for a reason and with the hint of the almighty sitting above clouds.

With a little Socratic talk, I somehow winded up the issue without getting myself into any slimy situation and still maintaining my reputation and as a complimentary turn of events, I even raised a bit of my impression on Valen family.

Truly blessings in disguise.

And now, thinking back to all the praises I'm getting from the people around me; I cannot help but feel that I am indeed the personification of hand of fate.

Otherwise, how can all my mistakes lead to a greater good?

"Mrs. Old Grant is pregnant in her late seventies! And it happened all thanks to this beautiful and kind girl here." I heard Aunt Valen praise me again which made me blush and also caused Via and Oreo to look at everyone with red of embarrassment.

"Not really that great. I'm just a girl with a small trick in my hands, that is all." I modestly declined but still agreed to their praises stealthily.

"You – you – did it again? You gave the wrong charm again, right?" Valen Bud, can't you keep your doubts to yourself?

Is it necessary for everyone to know my hands that has built-in malfunction?

"Hey Valen Bud, what do you mean I gave a wrong charm again? Don't you already know that everything I do is predestined? The hands are mine but actions are by the supreme big boss." I covered it up with a smile and logical answer.

Then turning to everyone, I smiled diffidently with an air of calmness.

"Woah, sister Zephy is so awesome. Your life is so thrilling! I love it; I love it!" Little Liana exclaimed with nice applause that sounds heavenly to my ears.

At first, when I saw such a young sister of Bud's, I couldn't help but click my tongue thinking about their parents still playing soccer on bed at their age.

But thinking about the old lady Grant getting knocked up in her seventies, this is still normal.

Young children make parents feel much younger. What's wrong with it?

Ey, should I also make special charms for older people to get knocked up? There must be some enthusiasts who might want some – thrill and extra family happiness in their lives.

An idea worth pondering about!

"Thank you. Right, as an older one, I still need to give you a meeting gift right. Here you go." I took out two small half the palm sized boxes from my handbag and gave one to Liana and one to Luca Storm, Bud's nephew.

They both accepted the gifts with a huge grin very happily and opened them almost immediately.

Inside each box is a small transparent colourful pearl that has a slight shine around it. I specially made them for both the kids and it's my first time make such amulet.

It was good that Via and Oreo told me more about Valen family so that I could prepare some gifts for them earlier on.

"No, don't touch them." Valen Bud almost shoved the pearls away from the kids.

Hey, that is a very powerful and good thing I made for them specifically!

How can you be so rude?

"Brother, what are you doing? Sister-in-l – uh, sister Zephy gave us such beautiful meeting gift; why are you throwing them away? Don't be rude and bring it back to my hands. Now!" Woah... this little girl is so cool and domineering!

"Idris, stop it and return back the gifts." Kaiya, the eldest of Valen siblings, ordered with a frown.

"You people don't know how dangerous her charms are. Lucian Devenport almost lost his life and the credit goes to the amulet she gave." One can wake up a sleeping tiger but not a sleeping Egyptian mummy.

Valen Bud is too ignorant and this is not the kind of ignorance that is considered a bliss.

"Sigh! Valen Bud, you are really –" Placing a hand on my heart, I expressed how heartbroken I am by his words and actions.

Mrs. and Mr. Valen both gave their son a very dissatisfied look. Father Valen immediately stepped in and pulled the gift boxes from his son's hands and returned it to the kids.

"Did you learn too much or too little? Why are you being so unenlightened? Little Zephyra saved your life with that amulet and you, fool, only see the bad in good?"

"Where is your cognitive agility? Where is your comprehension skill? If you cannot understand something, you deem it bad? You failed our teachings, son." Mother Valen followed after Father Valen and criticised him badly.

This family... they are so good!

I love them!

I love them all.

"But –" Valen Bud looked as if he is not at all in the same world as us.

I wonder why such understand Valen family has such a rigid son. Truly a wonder!

"It's okay, Valen Bud. It's not new for me to face this harsh world alone. I understand you. I will not give anything to –" I used my skills and prepared such awesome dialogue but it was cut off by Kaiya.

"The world is harsh but who said you are alone?" Kaiya said righteously as she stood up and held her husband's hand lovingly.

Ah, are they considering me their friend and relative now?

I don't mind having such an amazing and understanding family as friends.

I love Valen family and this is my most genuine confession ever.

"That's right. If you marry my son, won't Valens become your family as well?" Mother Valen said and I almost grinned back and nodded back to them to become their family friend when I suddenly felt something amiss in her words.

She said something about marry but not friends.

Marry her son?

Wait, marry Valen the Bud?!
