The General Who Hates Me 336 Charade

Surprisingly, the weather was nice that day and it was actually a beautiful day so the Liu Family proceeded as planned to go for a picnic.

"This is nice… I see that Grandma heed your advice for fair treatment for all her grandchildren. So far I can feel that she is trying her best that sometimes it looks so awkward that it's hard for me to keep in the laughter... geez..." Keira commented. Grandma Liu still lack in giving compliments to Thea whenever the latter did satisfying things. However, Grandma Liu avoided to compliment her either even on small things like before.

Keira and Zach were inside their car and were on their way at the most famous park in their city. Meanwhile, Grandma Liu and Senior Liu were together with Thea and Jeru were in one car behind them. Zach and Keira wanted to visit Grandma Terry later, so they drove a separate car.

The park had a vast garden with crisscross and picturesque trails where they could walk past ancient statues and beautiful fountains. They could do a lot of sightseeing, visit museums nearby, swim in the lake or ride bikes and horses.

As soon as they entered the park, they started taking family pictures at every beautiful spot.

Jeru and Zach found a nice spot where they can stay and eat together. Both of them did not let their wives do anything as they took out the food and arranged everything out of their food baskets. "The food looks yummy," commented Senior Liu while he rubbed his stomach. 

Old Madam Liu grabbed a plate and put food in it then unconsciously handed it to Zach as she commented, "Here try this. This is the best dish I tried from Thea's cooking so far." Keira coughed and looked at Grandma Liu with a meaningful gaze then she pointed her lips to Jeru who was fortunately on his mobile phone not far. Thea saw that and she could not help but grin.

Keira was like an alarm clock to their Grandma Liu whenever she would forget to do things fairly. Old Madam Liu twitched her mouth but quickly understood what was Keira was gesturing so she grabbed another plate and put some food for Jeru.

She handed it to Jeru as soon as  he came back to his seat, "Here grandson. This one tastes good," said Grandma Liu smiling. Jeru felt happy as he smiled broadly while he accepted the plate and said, "Thank you Grandma."

All of them almost forgot about Senior Liu who was frowning as he complained, "Mother, how come you're more affectionate to your grandsons than your son?"

Old Madam Liu's eyes rounded as she scolded, "You should be the one to serve your mother who is sick. Go grab me a plate!"

Senior Liu scratched his head and obeyed immediately. Keira and Thea looked at each other and laughed. Senior Liu was really such an obedient son who would always follow his mother no matter what.

As soon as everyone shared a hearty meal,Keira pulled something from her bag as she cheerfully said, "Let's play charades!" Then she let each of them had a draw to form two groups.

Keira, Jeru and Senior Liu picked the same numbers forming one group while Zach, Thea and Old Madam Liu formed another group.

Keira handed them pens and papers. "So you write there what you want our group to guess and when it's your turn we will write what your team should guess Each member of the team should take turns in doing the action while the remaining two members will guess. The timer is for two minutes only. If none can guess then there will be no points for your group."

Zach and Jeru played rock, paper, scissors first and Zach won so it was Jeru's group who did the charade first.

Thea was grinning as she wrote the word Keira would mime. Keira pursed her lips and arched a brow when Thea showed her the words.

"Timer starts now…" Thea burst and Keira began to mime. She acted and walked like a grandmother so Jeru shouted, "Old?"

Keira noted and continued to act as she frowned her face trying to mimic Old Madam Liu. "Scary Old Man?" Senior Liu guessed but it was wrong. Thea could not help but laugh as the game continued.

"Scary Old Grandpa?"

Keira continued to act like a terror old person even imitating Hitler.

"Hitler?" Jeru asked and Keira nodded and rolled her eyes.

"Is that a name of a person?" Senior Liu asked and Keira nodded as she imitated a sick old person.

"Sick Old woman?" said Jeru and thought of a well known actress or personality who was sick. Meanwhile, Old Madam Liu could almost guess who was it so she mumbled enough only for Thea to hear, "How dare you put my name in there…"

"Relax Grandma, can't you see how happy Zach and the rest?" Thea snorted as she tried to not laugh. Zach was laughing hard as he watched Keira mime in front of Jeru and Senior Liu.

Old Madam Liu looked at Thom, Jeru and Zach who were laughing out hard. Thea was right. Seeing those boys, her boys laugh heartily like that was really overwhelming. She never thought she could feel this bliss. She sighed and watched.

"Grandma Liu!" said Jeru and Keira shouted "Yes!" happily… But then they all halted, realizing something as they looked at Old Madam Liu as if they were waiting for her to nag and scold them.

"Alright it's our turn. You! Make sure you mime well  or I'll spank you if we won't be able to guess it!" Old Madam Liu said to Thea who scratched her head.

Jeru laughed as he was the one who wrote the word Thea's group would be guessing.

Thea felt it was easy person tomime when she saw what Jeru wrote… Well her husband was too considerate so she was lucky.

Thea acted like Keira as she anch.o.r.ed and mimic Keira's facial expression and winking at Zach.

"Keira Chan," Zach said plainly and Thea shouted "Yes!"

"1-1" said Keira.

"Stop that! Do not include family names in the game. Do something harder like important events." instructed Old Madam Liu with her strict face and tone.

All of them looked at each other with funny gazes and tried their best not to laugh.

"How about we go on a pedal boat? Jeru and I will bring Grandma… The lake is relaxing…Enough with charade." Zach suggested instead. Jeru nodded as they helped Grandmother Liu to walk to the lake.

Meanwhile, Thea and Keira were left behind as Senior Liu joined Jeru and Zach.

"Keira, I need to tell you something," Thea said with a serious tone. She felt that it was the right time that she came clean so she told Keira everything.

"Hmmm, I'll take care of it don't worry… I'll explain everything well to Zach," said Keira smiling and Thea could not help but hug Keira as she said, "Thank you really. You're so broadminded." At least now she would be at peace because Keira would be the one to do the explaining to Zach.  As Thea expected, Keira was an understanding person and she really admired how mature she was though she was younger.

Keira shook her head and grin as he looked at Old Madam Liu from a distance… Then she said, "It's fascinating to see how a person can change because of someone. Bringing out the best in you for the one you love"

"Yeah, I guess it doesn't apply to couples only", Thea seconded and looked at Old Madam Liu with her precious boys.
