ADITYA'S P.O.V.
Beep.......beep........beep
I shut off my alarm and opened my eyes. Sunlight hit my face with a force. Huh I didn't even open the curtains.
"Good morning adi get up baby boy" my mom spoke stroking her hands through my hair. That feels good.
"Mom I'm not a baby boy" I whined. She laughed.
She was about to get up but I pulled her hand making her sit on the bed. I put my head in her lap. It feels wonderful to feel a mothers love.
"Come on get up and come down we have something to talk to you about" she said making me narrow my eyes at her.
"What don't look at me like that we've been wanting to talk to you for a long time about this" she said getting up.
As soon as she said that today was going to be different. I could feel it. It would not be just one those days where I would get up and freshen up and leave for office. Today I feel like I would get a surprise.
Pushing those thoughts away I got up and headed to the washroom. I brushed my teeth and took a shower. I came out from my walk-in-closet wearing my office suit.
My family was a middle class family until I was 12. It was my father's hardwork that has bought these luxuries. My dad made me the next CEO of the company. I wasn't given that position just like that, only when I proved my worth by working my ass off. He trained me in the best way possible and now my name is just enough for people to sign a deal with me.
I stood in front of the mirror and gelled my wet hair. Something that girls drool over the most. My hair. I looked at myself the mirror one last time before walking out of my room.
"I touched it first so I get to have it" I rolled my eyes as I heard yelling. Ok half of this day is same as usual. I saw My sister and brother fighting and yelling and pulling each other's hair off.
It would usually be me separating me and it would be extremely rare if mom separates them using a special trick by coming out of the kitchen holding a rolling pin in her hands, that happens when dad and mom had a serious fight and he said something which pissed her off and we all would starve on that day.
"Just leave it you already had two pieces and I didn't even have one" my baby sister vidhi yelled. Yes baby sister. Vidhi, my world. I still remember the first time I held her in my arms. That was the day I fell for her innocent eyes. I vowed to be the best brother ever from that day onwards. She does use that as an advantage she knows I can't say no to her or her puppy eyes.
Coming to my brother abhimaan. My partner in crime. Someone I can trust blindly. I love both of them equally, but vidhi more. Ok I'm being unfair but i can't help it. I can do anything for her. I can't bear one single tear the eyes of two people in my family. My mom and sister. These two are my weakness.
Abhi without saying anything just picked up the last sandwich from the plate. Her jaw dropped open and what she did next was enough to start a fight on the table.
She picked the sandwich from his plate and quickly put it in her mouth before he could even take a bite. Mom and dad had to intervene to stop them before we witnessed a murder on the spot.
"Son we need to talk to you" my dad said in a serious tone. I diverted all my attention towards him.
"Son you know we know we want the best for you" my dad said and took a bite of his bread.
"what is it dad" I said
"we think its time for you to get married" my dad said dropping the bomb. What. Okay. I didn't know what to answer. Am I ready for marriage, ready for another responsibility.
I could see jaws hung open of the people sitting on the table. Especially my mom's so called friend. She always wanted to get her daughter married to me. She even proposed that idea to my mom many a times but my mom was always hesitant. I didn't even like her. She would always clinge to me and I had to plead mom and dad to help me.
Shock was written all over their faces. but nobody paid heed to them, right now I was the topic for today.
"there's no hurry adi take your time and let us know" my mom said easing my worries. Ok I've got time. In this case taking advice seems a better option. But from whom. My friends. Oh why not, while they themselves are struggling to get married, more like struggling to even get a girlfriend without getting slapped in the face.
They kept looking at me waiting for and answer and I just gave them a nod which said 'I'll-think-about-it'.
"now about the meeting I was thin-" my dad stopped as he saw my mom's glare. She didn't like work being discussed on the table.
We had our breakfast in peace after that. Even my siblings didn't fight. Guess this topic did really shock us.
I had my breakfast and bid bye to everyone and left. On my way I texted my friends to meet at starbucks and called my assistant. She picked up on the third ring.
"good morning sir" she said in a flirty voice. I rolled my eyes. She's never gonna change.
"morning sia I wanted to let you know that I will be arriving late to office so if any meetings or calls manage them and if any appointments shift them to 3" I said. I needed a little time.
"okay sir" I could hear the sadness in her voice. She was one of those girls who run behind men with money, and the reason I hired her was she could manage my schedule whenever I wasn't there.
Every morning she would come wearing too tight clothes and once she even tried to seduce me, and I gave in. just like that, no. I gave her a warning and lets just say it was a warning that was enough for her to back off for some time. But she back again on her ways. A little more time before she receives her second warning. Three is the maximum number, after that I fire them.
I cut the call and parked my car outside starbucks and saw my friends waiting for me.
~~~~~~~~~
I reached home at 8:00 pm. I walked and the servants came and took my bag. I could see the shock on their faces seeing my home so early. I'm not surprised, I never come home early. unless something important has come up at home, I spend somedays in my office cabin which has a bedroom.
I'm a workaholic just like my father.
I changed my clothes and came down for dinner. Here we go.
"I'm ready" I said while focusing on my food. I looked up and saw happiness on my mom's face. finally. I saw her face filled with worry as I entered.
"that's great son we have a girl for you she really sweet" my dad said happily. What already that was quick. I think they knew that I was going to say yes. Thats what you call family.
"woo now I'll have a partner in crime" abhi said happily. We all laughed.
"Or else bhai just takes vidhi's side and I'm left all alone" he said pouting. Yeah that's true I always take vidhi's side whenever these two fight.
I didn't know that that such a topic could bring happiness on my parents face. but if it does I'm ready to do anything else as well.
"so should we call them and tell them know" my mom said getting excited. My dad chuckled beside her.
"clam down honey" he said.
"I'm so excited my baby's getting married" my mom said.
"mom I'm not a baby" I whined. Abhi laughed as I glared at him. Oh god. Honestly I'm excited a bit but nervous as hell.
"I guess he's already dreaming about our Bhabhi, getting lost in her thoughts" abhi said receiving a smack on his head. Now it was my turn to laugh.
After dinner I went back in the room and slept thinking how a small part of my life changed in just a few hours. Its just a small part the rest is still left.
