Part One
- Hot Water and Gorse.
Hi
from Hansini.
When my husband Mootie and I had visited
Tom and Betty on their farm, we had a lot of fun with them but we also made
good friends too. (Story 133 – Little Tom & Betty.) I wanted to keep in
touch so I arranged for Shanti to set up their computer so they could video
chat with us. They could also join in with others when we chatted too. When
they heard I was coming to New Zealand they both encouraged me to find time to
visit them again. Not that I needed much encouragement anyway.
When I told Jenny I wanted to go up to
the farm she couldn’t go because one of the twins was sick but she said I could
borrow her car. My one problem was, I can’t drive. There was no need in India,
all the places I needed to go were close to our house or else someone was
always there to take me. For a while I thought I might miss out until Amita
heard of it. She can drive so she offered to take me.
The two of us going up. Ha! Ha! Betty
and Tom were for a surprise. On the phone that evening I didn’t tell them about
Amita. I only said I would be coming to visit them. Yes that was going to be our
surprise for them, but then we got one too; a surprise that is.
The phone rang for night before our
departure. Peter answered and informed it was for me. ‘For me!’ my brain
thought. ‘Who will be wanting me into New Zealand?’ I took the phone and it was
that Naughty Boy Jeevan again.
“Hi Hansini. Can you call by Steve and
Sharon’s house in the morning? I have something I want you to take to Betty.”
“Ok,” I replied. “No problem.”
“Thanks.”
“What do you want us…….”
Click!
Too late! The phone was ended, he was
gone. I was left wondering what he would have that we needed taking to Tom and
Betty. Well he did say to Betty actually. I couldn’t think of anything so
decided it would wait until the morning.
