Attraction To Affection

Chapter 3: Returning Home

                          ARYAN

We are on our way to Delhi to our homes and we are so tired that we just survived from an accident. This fucker Anirudh closed his eyes while driving the car and we just neared the corner most part of the flyover we were covering when he got back his senses. He need to get a good scolding from my mother.

"Dhyaan se chalaya kar, maar ke rahega kya mujhe?" I shouted at him.

"Main nhi maarunga, teri future biwi maaregi tujhe chappal se agar aise chillayega tu" he shouted back rubbing his ear with his free hand.

"Chup reh aur gaadi chala, kutta kahi ka" I said annoyingly.

He chuckled and went back to driving the car. I played Weeknd in my Mercedes-Benz and we both started jamming to his songs. My sole reason for playing Weeknd was to save my life from this asshole because he just loves Weeknd. (play Heartless)

After 2 hours, we reached our respective homes. I went inside and saw a lovely sight infront of me. It was my parents, Mr. Akash Kapoor and Mrs. Ankita Kapoor embracing each other while watching a rom-com. Seeing them makes me realise that all I ever want in my life is THIS. Me and my wife with beautiful kids sitting like my parents are sitting right now but that's not possible not with the history I have. I sighed and greeted them and they instantly sat up.

"Aryannn!! You came back, kaisa hai baccha? Kaisi gayi trip? Maze kiye na? Anirudh ko chhod diya?" my mother showered me with multiple questions at once. My father came beside and asked her to calm down.

"I am fine mom, it was so much fun, just the two of us. We recollected our memories from childhood till now and yk Anirudh is such a coward, he was shivering when I called him to see the whole of Manali from the highest cliff there." I said laughing to bits remembering his face.

"I am happy you guys enjoyed, now, go to your room and take rest. Your college is opening in 2 days. Wake up early tomorrow and prepare for your departure, humare pass rehna toh pasand nhi hai" she said taunting me while my papa was laughing at her antics.

I side-hugged her and said "its not like that mom, I just don't want to burden you with my responsibilities, I need to learn to take care of myself and Anirudh is there with me so you don't need to worry about it." I said taking out my pinky finger and she joined it too.

"Ab jaa, humara movie time kharaab kar diya" my father chuckled.

"Ha ha, bete se zyaada important hai na movie, karo karo enjoy karo, mere jaane ke baad jab yaad aayegi na tab dekhna, sunday ko bhi nhi aaunga phir aapse milne" I said in a fake hurt tone.

"Aryan, you promised" my mother whined like a 4 year old child.

"I'll come for you, sweetheart" I winked at her and she laughed waving her hand in the air.

"Find yourself a girlfriend, leave my wife alone" my father said in a serious tone and I scoffed entering my room.

Only if I had a destiny like yours, dad.

"Anyway, let's go to bed, Aryan, busy day tomorrow" I said to myself.

We all came back to Jodhpur and its only two days left to my college. We all girls are going to delhi and while we are excited and happy and just can't wait for what's next for us, we are equally saddened at the fact that we have to leave our beautiful home city and move away from the places we grew up in, from the people we grew up with. We can't help but wonder where did 18 years of our life went away in just a blink. I entered my house and saw my mother who knew about my arrival sitting on the front porch probably waiting for me.
