Chapter 1.5 - July 2021 - Udisha and Dudleif. The Chitrakaar-Skurchk family.

In this small house on the low swamplands just outside the town lives Udisha, the oldest of the Chitrakaar siblings with her husband, Dudleif, and their two children, Nishit and Ole Christian.

 This afternoon Udisha was at work and doing overtime as usual, and Dudleif was at home with the kids. This is their oldest child Nishit playing with the peg box. He is actually (supposed to be..) 5 years and 7 months old, so he isn't to far away to aging up to a child and start school. Toddler life stage in this story line ends on their sixth birthday.

 Ole Christian playing with the xylophone. Ole Christian is excactly two years old, meaning that today is actually his second birthday! Happy birthday little one!

 As Dudleif is inside relaxing watching tv and keeping an eye on the kids, a car is heard approaching outside and some people step out. Looks like they're getting visitors.. Out of the car comes one of Udishas younger sisters, Leya, along with her husband Gaute and Leyas child Bodil. Gaute, of course, does his usual tough guy stance upon seeing the police car outside.. He wants to prove to Leya that he can be strong and brave and fight off criminals like a policeman, too.. or something like that...

„If this mail box was a criminal, I would knock it out in a split second!“ he says pretending to fight it..

Gaute: Look at this bicep, Leya!

Leya just walks by him like its nothing to ring the door bell..

Dudleif Chitrakaar-Skurchk: Hi, you must be Leya. It's just me and the kids at home now, but come on in. 

 Dudleif talks about his job and arresting thieves with Leya, when Gaute wants to show that he can also be daring..

 Gaute: Hey, Dudleif.. check this out!

Yup, he is eating dirt from the floor.. and just in that moment Udisha just came home from work. Leya doesn't want to watch and goes away.

Udisha is cheering, not sure if it's because of the xylophone or Gaute. :P

Neither of course, it was because she was happy to see her husband.. Now, I never approved of this relationship, because I was hoping that she would find someone younger (and not move out of the house she had built for herself.) .. but of course, when someone really loves each other, it's not on me to be so cruel as to split them up, so I'm leaving it... 

 Love works in its own way, and knows no boundaries.. one way or another...

Udisha has always been a very hard working and ambitious person and before she met Dudleif she had a very nice home in the central part of town, with her own painting studio on the second floor. However, after she married Dudleif, she decided to abandon all that, and move in with him in his shack by the swamp.. Even for a businesswoman, love is more important than a fancy home in the better part of town..

Leya doesn't have the same level of ambition as her sister, but is still interested in the arts, so.. she sat dwon and ddecided to make a drawing of the chemistry table...

Gaute heard music from inside and rushed in to dance. Bodil had some needs to take care of and ended up clogging the toilet...

 Udisha really loves her husband.. or maybe he feels he's in a hurry.. either way,  they didn't notice any of that because...

...the fact that Udishas sister had come to visit them for the first time in years didn't seem to important, because this is what they wanted to do.. They woohoo'ed of course, but no music was heard at the end on this one, so no pregnancy as far as I can tell....but Dudleif still isn't a dud since he already has two children...

Bodil couldn't avoid hearing the sounds from the bedroom, which is just behind that door..

Leya avoids a potentially awkward conversation by giving her daughter a hug.

Or maybe it wasn't so awkward, because it looks like it gave them something to gossip about. ;) But if sound can travel one way through the door, it can probably travel the other way too! :P

The turtle doves finally emerged from their hideout. Dudleif in his morning robe is not at all trying to hide what just happened like he's some kind of Hugh Hefner or something...

And runs an inkblot test on Gaute. „Oh, that reminds me of my job in the military“ he says.

Leya: It was lucky we came over just today, for Ole Christians birthday!

Bodil: Haha, yes, are we going to eat cake, uncle?

Oh, good idea, lets have a birthday party..!

 „I'm on it!“ says Udisha, „I'll make the pumpkin pie!“

 Udisha: Happy birthday, Ole Christian!

(Of course, they couldn't have an actual birthday party with the cake and candles and all, because then he would age up to the next stage and he's not supposed to do that yet..)

And as always, its impossible to have everyone sit down and eat at the same time, but it sort of worked out.. sort of..

 „Oh, Leya, you're just as good looking as your sister, what do you say, hmm?“, says Dudleif

„Ew, no, not at all, old man!“

Leya: Actually... you're not to bad looking for a man your age, so maybe!

What..!?

Dudleif: Don't make fun of me, young lady!

And they actually do this flirt/rejection thing back and forth a few times.. this looks very similar to what goes on when Patrik flirts with Leya.. why do you seem to always get caught up in these types of games, Leya?

 Bodil (thinking): I don't like uncle Dudleif, he is acting just like Patrik.

Leya attacks Ole Christian with the claw.

The boys measure up their strength with a pillow fight.

Udisha has already gone to sleep, and Leya practicing chess is noticeably also getting tired, so it shouldn't be long before they go home now. Shortly after this shot, Leya reached level 10 in the logic skill.

„I think it's time to call it a night now..“ says Leya. „Let's go back to the hotel“

Yup, Dudleif has also crawled in beneath the sheets and the toddlers are asleep, so I think it's time to say good night once more

Udisha and Dudleifs home by night.
