I found my Lion

We were in the house relaxing and waiting to go somewhere at 8.30am in the morning, including my mother-in-law. My sister-in-law came and said we are late now, as if because of us. Then she asked me if I had a really big dictionary where I can look up the meaning of a work to describe a type of people and she couldn't remember the word and I said 'luminous' people (who illuminate) then I looked it up in my laptop for meaning without letting her know that I was looking in the laptop not a physical dictionary.

I went for a stroll outdoors, didn't know why but halfway through thought that may be I was going to pretend that my room with books was somewhere here. There were banana plantation next to the path. I saw my lion coming out from there. He was lost for two days. We had no hope and here suddenly since I came out of the house, he saw me and started coming towards me. I called his name 'Oliver' and he looked like a big dog, the size of a lion. I was scared of him, only because of his size, but I knew he was gentle. He followed me as I jogged him in to the house.

Next thing I saw I sat my middle son near the sink and I was giving him lots of water saying to my elder son to give him lots of water as he must be dehydrated; he was thirsty for two days as if he was lost for two days. My youngest sister-in-law was sitting behind my son, near the sink and was helping him drink.

Strangely enough, in normal life I don't speak to this sister-in-law, consider her to be extremely greedy and keep away from her. In real life, I took my mother-in-law to the hospital in emergency and got her the best treatment. Then we spent the day like two friends, went to a restaurant and took her to whichever shop she wanted to go. Usually she would prefer to go out with her daughters. I was very contented that I could be of use to her.
