Part III
Karan sat in his class.. hardly paying-attention to his teacher.. but recalling his encounter with Geet and how close they were to kiss each other.
He questioned himself regarding the attraction he feels for Geet recently.
Rishi poked him..
Karan: What?
Rishi: Listen.. cause I ain't going to explain to you at home.
Karan: okay
Rishi rolled his eyes..
Entire afternoon went smoothly.. Rishi gathered Geet's assignment and drop Sagar to his place and Nihaal at his place afterwards drove home with Karan (Karan stays with Sujal and Kashish after his father's death and doesn't get along with his mother)
{Geet's Perspective}
I woke up.. quarter to 2.. ran down the stairs. I tip-toe inside the kitchen and hugged my mother who was cooking.
Kashish: You home?
Geet: I didn't want to stay, but Bro forced me to stay after I told him I threw up.
Kashish: What you threw up?
Geet: Yeah Mom.. but its not big deal.. cause it happens regularly in beginning of my periods.
I saw Mom look at me with worried look..
Geet: Mom.. its okay.. its normal.. and don't stress about it.
Mom smiled at me than asked "would you like me to make you some khichdi in liquid style?"
I smile and nod my head..
(Rishi and Karan came home)
I saw Bro.. coming through front door with Karan. When I saw Karan our encounter flashed inside my mind.
I blushed for moment..
I pass by them and avoid looking into his eyes.
During dinner.. I hardly ate anything.. Dad notice.. but stayed quiet or Mom with her eyes explained the situation.
Entire me or Karan looked at each other.. unless if we need to pass dishes around..
I notice unusual quietness.. usually its noisy.. I notice Dad wanting to say something to us.
{Sujal's Perspective}
I looked at my family.. I never considered Karan as outsider.. I just don't know.. how to break the awful news.
I took deep breathe..
Kashish smiled at me..
Her smile always encourage me.. I saw my baby girl looking at me..
I smiled at her..
Finally I spoke: Um.. I know my decision will affect your guys individual life style.
I saw my darling daughter Geet looking at me than her mother afterwards her brother.
I heard my son "Dad.. what are you talking about" I saw him pause "that would affect our lives?"
Sujal: I know son.. individually we have different thoughts about life, but I am helpless lekin your grandfather is ill.. plus he wants us as a family to attend your cousin's wedding.
My daughter interrupted me "Daddy, whatever circumstance might be, but we are family and its our duty to stand together"
I smiled..
I looked at Karan.. my smile vanish..
Sujal: Karan you are apart of our family. I know my sudden decision about going to India is mostly affecting you. I wish you could come along, but court case going on between you and your mother.
Karan.. my boy looked at me and I heard him say "come' on uncle.. like Geet said we are family and its our role to support one another" he took deep breathe "after loosing my Dad and court case with my mother who I never want to see again.. you and Kashish auntie are my everything, but I can always join you guys once everything is sorted out."
Karan smile at me even I smile at him and took him in for hug. Just wanting him know I am always there for him.
After dinner, Kashish brought carrot sweet dish.. I smile at her and nod my head.
My daughter spoke "when are we departing to India and what about our school?"
I continued smiling..
Sujal: Um.. we are going in three days from now and I have already talk with your school about our sudden departure.
Geet nods her head.. and left towards her room behind Karan.
Rishi just looked everywhere other than his father.
{Rishi's Perspective}
After hearing Dad, I am upset or likely mad.. How can I forget that my Rahul Chachu left us because of India.. its painful, but after talking with Geet.. my doubts are cleared about going India.
...Flashback....
Dad stopped me..
I looked at him..
Sujal: Son, I am sorry for taking this huge step without discussing with my family, but I couldn't reveal to Geet that your grandfather is suffering from major heart problem and he needs his older son by his side.
What else I could do other than nod my head and agreed with Dad unwilling afterwards I enter my room.
I was stun to see my best friend almost inches away from kissing my sister (its odd.. cause they always argue in front of us. Something is fishy)
Rishi: What's going?
They both move apart.. I smirked.. I saw my sister lowering her head and Karan tried explaining his actions.
I spoke while starring at my sister "Relax guys.. I am cool if my best friend has feelings for my sister.. long as my sister doesn't get hurt"
I heard Karan "dude if she is your sister than she is my special friend who I can not dream of hurting"
I hugged Karan and Geet together who are embarrass.. afterwards my baby Sister explain the importance of supporting our parents over our own desire.
I can't believe how mature my baby sister have gotten over these years.. I hugged her again and kissed her forehead.
...end of flashback...
Karan just smiled.. while laying on his bed.
