The early morning sunlight made the entire room come to life. As he turned, the sunlight hit him in the face and was disturbed from his sleep as he turned to look at his alarm clock which rested on the bedside table to his right. It read 6.30AM....
He let out a sigh of relief as he had originally thought he'd managed to sleep well past his wake up considering the amount of light in his room. But then he remembered, this was only the earlier months of autumn of the UK, so it made sense for the sun to be rising at this time as summer was just being left behind.
He got out of bed and walked over to his window to see the view of his back garden and beautiful view of the sun still rising. He noticed his mother taking a stroll around the garden, stopping by the vegetable patch and plucking a few tomatoes from the tomato plants she had grown fond of lately, as this was the first year she had grown them and having taken such good care of them, she was rewarded with tomatoes in the hundreds.
He'd never seen the point of doing such, because she only went and used them for cooking later on each day, even though it was amusing to see her reaction to the size of some of a few which rather seemed to be the size of huge potatoes – which did make sense since she did have potato plants near her tomato patch.
He chuckled as he recalled her dilemma over what to name this new kind of fruit which happened to look like a tomato but was physically resembling a potato.......a TOMato or a potATO – she couldn't quite seem to decide.
He was still lost in his thoughts when he heard someone call after him and a knock at the door
Maan!!!! Are you decent? Can I come in????
(yes guys you guessed it right.....this is our dear Maan – wasn't supposed to intro him yet but you guys were missing him and I can't upset my readers so set about writing this JUST FOR U)
Maan recognised the voice instantly and ran to his bed to grab his t-shirt he'd managed to take off in the middle of the night after feeling extremely hot. He then went to the door and invited the person in.....
Maan: Come in, Tara Bhabhi as he stepped aside
NT: Maan what's this.....I thought we had a deal? As she went and sorted his bed out and then took a seat on, whilst he came returned to his spot near the window facing her.
Maan: Deal?....haha in case you didn't realise, the deal was both ways, and whilst I kept true to my words, someon didn't quite come through...did they Tara BHABHI as he stressed the last word.
NT: Oy...that's not fair, you know exactly how hard I tried, but what can I do if your brother's being the stubborn idiot he is......now that's not particularly my fault is it...I did try...... *as she walked over next to him looking out the window*
Maan: yeah and you're choosing to marry that stubborn idiotic brother of mine soon.....so I would think, you'll have to get used to it and work a little harder........
NT fell silent and seemed to be dazed, looking at the same flower basket, hardly blinking
Maan: It's not going to suddenly start to fly you know Tara
NT: huh, what, fly? *as she turned to now look at him*
Maan: The flower basket......you've been staring at it like an eagle keeping an eye on its prey....I mean if you really like it that much, I can gift it to you for your birthday........we'll just keep it our little secret.....
NT pulled his ear lightly while letting out a little laugh
NT: Badmaash......hehe now hurry up and get ready, I'll meet you at the breakfast table....hurry – you wouldn't want to be late.
Maan: now that's like my Tara Bhabhi....... she pulled his ear harder. Ahhh...ok ok i'm sorry....ahh......Ta...Taaar.....Tara please..... she let him go, just as he grabbed her wrist and made her sit on his bed whilst he knelt before her and took her hand in his...
Maan: He really does love you Tara....and no one knows that better than me....he's crazy about you – he will do anything for your happiness....but he just needs a little time I suppose...he's still making a place for himself in this world -or so he says.....he doesn't want to make you suffer whilst he stumbles with highs and lows of managing the family company........ *he reached up and wiped a tear from her face*.....Tara please...I know you must feel a little out of place at the moment, but trust me when I say this....you mean the world to him and he just wants to make things a little smoother in life so that when he does officially bring you into the family he can do so with the belief that he wull be able to give you a comfortable life, rather than one where he's constantly having to go back and forth with trying to understand the business and settle into it...
NT: I guess you're right.........it's probably me just being a little out of place.......ahh look at me.....i must appear as such a despo...right?
Maan: *he wipes another tear* oh please don't cry......you're not a despo Tara.......don't you knw how desperate i am to finally be able to call you my bhabhi, then I won't ahve to live in the fear of being attacked by you or by my brother for calling you Tara....gosh do you guys realise how much I am having to suffer because of this little unsettled portion in your lives???....... and plus....you can't cry today......*as he constantly tried to get her to smile a little and lighten her mood*
NT: Why? What's today?
Maan: TARA!!!!! How could you forget??
NT: *suppressing a little smile*.....Forget what Maan?? What am I forgetting??
Maan: You don't remember anything?? I didn't expect this from you..........not you of all people * as he got up and walked towards his wardrobe, trying to decide what to wear*....
NT: Ok fine I forgot – BIG deal...you can remind me now...tell me
Maan: no it's ok.......I'm going to be late......I need to get ready.....
NT: Ok ok...I'll see you at the dining table..... *and she made her way towards the door and she saw maan move towards the ensuite bathroom*
NT: ermm Maan.......
Maan: hmm *as he stood at the bathroom door*
NT: Happy Birthday my little cutie Devar!!!
*And then shut the door and ran down the stairs to the kitchen*
