Kidnappers?!

I smiled to myself. My mom and dad had gone to visit my grandparents and my annoying big brother had gone to an overnight camp at Shimla for 3 days. Home alone! I placed a chair and climbed up to the kitchen cabinet and grabbed a bag of chips. Suddenly, the brand-new cell phone my parents had given me rang. It was my mom. I picked it up, saying, "Hi, mom. I am fine. How is dad? Yes, I have eaten a bowl of sprouts and salad. By the way, where is the TV remote? No, I am NOT planning to binge-watch my fave movie, Home Alone 2. NO, you DON`T have to come home early to check on me and give me dinner. I am eating Maggi for dinner, ma! What did I say? NO, I mean dadi has given me dinner already. Healthy dinner, yeah. Bye! I am not going to miss you!".

Sigh. Mom is sooo fussy! I mean, what about me eating a plate of burgers for lunch? What IS wrong with that? I thought to myself. Then, after I had eaten my yummy Bingo`s chips, I called my friend Khushi and asked her to come over. We played video games for a while and then she left. My parents have gone to visit my mom`s parents and my dad`s parents are in the apartment near my society, so my grandma sent food with my cousin sister. I was happy home alone, without having to fight like cats with my brother. Finally, I made a hot chocolate (Winter was around the corner. Brrrrr!), got a few biscuits and went to sit on my desk to study for my Maths test tomorrow. Finally, I felt sleepy and tucked myself in bed at 11:00. I have a bad habit of waking up in the middle of the night. I woke up at 1:20, sleepily, and peered out of the window. I saw three people standing outside. >Shock< I was WIDE AWAKE now! I could tell that one of them was a man and the other two were women, judging by their slim figure. The man saw me and pointed up. They were wearing black masks covering their mouth and holding something! I ran back to my bed and lay, shivering in fear. I thought that they were going to kidnap me from my house. My fingers, shakey as they were, tapped on the phone as I dialled my mom`s number. Suddenly, I heard a ringtone from the front door and the bell ringing. I went down and peered through the eyehole. My parents were those "KIDNAPPERS" !!! Hope you liked reading this experience of mine!
