His crazy family.

last update Huling Na-update: 2021-07-14 01:35:33

Gautham and his family were on their way back home; his parents had a goofy grin on their faces.

"I take it you liked Sindhu..?" He asked. It was more a rhetoric question than an actual question.

"So how did you like her parents?" He asked again. He did not get much time to talk with them to actually make an opinion.

"Well, they were polite. Her mom tried to sell me how much a goody two shoes her daughter was. But I know those eyes. She should have been quite the troublemaker. And if I judged the girl right, she will tell you as to how much trouble she has actually made. And she is going to be quite the addition to our family" Gautham's mom, Renuka, said, totally amused.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Nothing is decided just yet. So, slow down your horses."Gautham exclaimed panicked.

"Oh cut the crap Gautham. I am your mother. You and I both know that you like that girl way too much to let her pass through your fingers. When was the last time you even talked to a girl for a full 2 hours?? Try something like 'Never' that's how many times." Renuka said with that know-it-all smirk on her face. Yup, his mom lives her life to annoy the crap out of him.

"You are soo annoying, you know that??" Gautham asked his mom, sarcasm dripping out.

"Yup and you love me more for that." She sassed.

God, she was annoying but then she was also right. If not for her craziness, he wouldn’t be who he is today. And now that he thought about it, it should be because he had gotten so used to her craziness that he couldn’t appreciate any of the girls he previously saw… they were all proper. And for the same reason, he found Sindhu so much more attractive and amusing.

"Anyways I think this month I will be able to see a new drama. Because obviously, as we all know, you like to get what you want. And Sindhu doesn't seem like the girl who is going to take your crap with her heads down. She is rather feisty if I could say. So I better keep my popcorns ready for some good old family drama" and this was his dad, Govind.

"Oh! Not you too dad. Sometimes I feel like the only adult in the family. You guys act like high school kids most of the time" Gautham said irritated at his parents.

"And you love us more for it" His parents chorused.

Yup this was his crazy family.

My mom, Mrs. Renuka Govind. She used to be a lawyer but she quit a few years ago. So she is a homemaker now. Well, she is Gautham's best friend and loves annoying him just about all the time.

My dad, Mr. Govind. He is a practicing lawyer and runs a firm. He loves his mom and me to bits. And most of the time, he will be the front row audience to their bickering. And he will be thoroughly entertained.

And lastly, himself, Gautham Govind. He was also a lawyer like his parents. Seem to run in the family. Currently, he was working outside. But one day he will have to take over his dad's firm.

And he, being a bachelor at 29 years is the biggest concern of all my good for nothing relative of his. So the bride hunting started.

And his mom is now taking revenge for all the annoying comments Gautham passed on the other girls she chose to show him before. The fact that he could not hold a conversation for two whole minutes with them pretty much decided his answer.

And then there is Sindhu... Let's just say he had no clue how two hours passed by.

It was a whole different scene in Sindhu's house. Her mom was shooting daggers at her while she just gave a nonchalant look.

"Mom I told you before itself. If I am to say yes to this marriage crap, it's going to be on my terms and nobody else's. So stop trying to burn me already." Sindhu said and took her car keys and strode out of her house.

God, why is it always so hard to make mom understand anything?

She let out a frustrated groan and headed towards her car.

She took off in her car at a lightning speed.

She parked her car at a McDonald's near their house.

Sindhu took her orders to a corner table and gobbled off the burger in a few minutes. She sat back and let her thoughts wander about today. Her mom being her mom reacted just the way Sindhu predicted. And her dad, as always kept his mouth shut. God, they drive her crazy half the time.

Don't get her wrong. She loves them very much. It's just... She just doesn't fit in.

Her mom... Mrs. Aruna Srinivasan. She is your typical Indian mom whose aim is to get Sindhu married off to some nice guy. She loves Sindhu and Sindhu knows that. But Aruna never really understood her. She wants Sindhu's life her way. She never even made the effort to know what Sindhu wanted out of her life.

She wanted Sindhu to be someone successful with goals and determination. Well, Sindhu never got to know the "g" of goal or "d" of determination. It's not like she doesn't want to be successful but it was not exactly a priority either. So she was your typical lazy bum while her mom was the typical perfectionist- very disciplined and focused. And that right there was their problem.

Her dad. Mr. Srinivasan. He is a Chartered Accountant. He has a firm of his own. Well, he is this silent audience to everything that happens in the house. Sometimes Sindhu takes comfort in his silence even when she knows he doesn't understand her.

And then lastly herself Ms. Sindhuja Srinivasan. She is a Chartered Accountant. She worked in Earnest & Young for three years as far as everyone was concerned. She did earn a hefty sum for her needs. Now she runs her Dad's firm. And on top of it, she was a painter by hobby. But she does sell her paintings.  And she even painted a rich guy's house back in Bangalore.

Wait there is one more person in her family.

And that's her brother. Mr. Aarav Srinivasan. Well, he is in Pune right now with his family. He is a big-shot businessman. He owns a company. He is married with two kids. Her sister-in-law is Mrs. Anitha Aarav. She is a fashion designer. And her niece is Anuradha alias Anu. She is quiet and a cutie pie. And then her nephew is Vikram. Let's just say he is not exactly the innocent little kid though he does pull off an innocent face very well. He is the little devil of the family. But she loves him so much for his antics. Those kids are the two people in her life who can make her smile- not the plastered one Sindhu gives everyone but a genuine smile.

Sindhu pulled away from her train of thoughts when it started raining again. She felt its presence before even she heard the downpour. She quickly gobbled the rest of her meal and scramble out.

God, it was raining cats and dogs... And the timing was just perfect.

Wait she forgot. There was one other thing that can bring a smile on her face apart from her niece and nephew and she was staring at it right now. And let's just say she was going to reach home looking like a lost puppy drenched head to toe.

  • Little girl's wild side   "I will be there"

    The marriage was exactly one month away. Sindhu was sitting in her room with all her lights switched off and doors locked shut. Her mind was messed up and in a daze. She did not know what she was feeling. Her heart was in a twist.This room... It has been her safe haven and her hell at the same time for as long as she could remember. She had not lived here for 4 years but still, this was her home. She always knew she could come back to this one place no matter what and it will give her solace. But after these weeks, this won't be her room. This will not be her home. She did not know how to digest this fact. Her heart was in a twist. She felt so terrified all of a sudden.The voices in her head won't stop. She kept remembering all the things she ever experienced within these walls- some good some bad. It was so overwhelming that she felt as if she was drowning. She felt so lost and helpless. And the silence surrounding her was almost deafening.All these days she

  • Little girl's wild side   "We're home,"

    When they reached Sindhu's place, it was almost midnight. Gautham stopped the car outside Sindhu's place. Then he turned around towards Sindhu who was happily sleeping with her seat pushed down to the max and her legs hoisted over the dashboard in the front. She looked extremely peaceful and content. Gautham almost did not want to wake her but then he reached out and shook her awake. Sindhu blinked several times. She lifted her hands to rub over her eyes. But seeing as she never bothered to wash her hands after having snacks, Gautham hurriedly grabbed her hands. "Your hands are not clean. They still probably have spices from the potato chip you had earlier", Gautham said but Sindhu was still not fully awake and a little groggy so she did not comprehend what he was saying. By reflex, she tried to reach her eyes with her other hand. Gautham let out a sigh and held back both her hands with one of his hands and reached out with his other hands, tidied her hair that was falling over her e

  • Little girl's wild side   Out of sight, out of mind.

    That night, Gautham came back late after distributing all the invitations. But to his surprise, he actually found that Sindhu was not back yet. He freshened up and came down to the lobby and sat on the stairs waiting for Sindhu. John and Steve were already back and already off to bed. They were long used to Sindhu not showing up at night, unlike Gautham. Even when he was worried and anxious, Gautham still waited patiently for her. The cold air stung his skin making the hair in his hand standstill. At last, just before dawn, the roaring sound of the car awoke Gautham from his daze. He looked up only to see Sindhu get down from a red Audit. It was John’s car. Since Gautham had driven the car they came in, Sindhu borrowed one of John’s cars. “Why are you still up?” Sindhu asked coming towards Gautham. He just shrugged his shoulders and answered perfunctorily, “I couldn’t sleep…” Both of them knew he was lying. After all, he could har

    Sindhu sipped on her drink and looked out the window with a blank expression on her face. Her eyes stayed steadily looking at nothing in particular. Her eyes were as if everything around her was invisible somehow while vehicles kept zooming in front of her leaving behind exhaust fumes. They were not invisible but Sindhu just did not care enough to notice anything in particular.Everything and everybody around her was busy with something or the other except for her. Nobody seemed to have the time of the day to notice anything around them… everybody was rushing to someplace or other… they seemed to be moving in a rush all the time. They all seemed to have somewhere to be at any point in time… but she one the other seemed to be always lost!This was not the first time she had noticed this… This scene is the most common sight no matter where one goes… She just never been able to figure out how to make sense of it.After all,

  • Little girl's wild side   Ms. Annonymous?

    After about one hour, Sindhu finally actually woke up and went to freshen up. Gautham went in search of John. He asked around the staff and finally found him in what looked like a study room.He knocked on the huge door before entering.The room was brightly lit. Both sides of the room were covered with shelves and they were all filled to the brim with books.But the wall straight opposite to the door was fully empty except for a huge piece of a painting of the mansion with a sunset in the background. The mansion was actually small compared to the background sky. And from the looks of it, it was probably painted by Sindhu. It was not a realistic painting. It was slightly abstracted. And like the ones in her apartment, the whole painting was done with reddish-yellow shades and blacks peeping here and there."That's Sindhu's handiwork, isn't it???" Gautham asked out loud. But the question was actually rhetoric.John looked up then followed Gautham's

  • Little girl's wild side   Stop using him as your pillow, Sindhu

    It was dead of the night. The streetlights were flickering away. Everything was quiet and tranquil until suddenly the rumbling sound of several bike engines was heard which was accompanied by several rogue male voices shouting profanities.There was one bike in the forefront, driven by a girl. She seemed hurt and very disoriented. Her bike was not steady. The bike was going zigzag without any pattern. There was blood all over her torso. Blood dripped down on the road making a red trail behind her. Her vision was blurring out from excessive loss of blood. But by sheer determination, she drove the bike as steadily as she could and as fast as she could. She knew help was on the way. All she had to do was to hold these thugs off till then. But it was getting so hard to keep her eyes open.There were about a half dozen bikes following her. Even when the guys following her did not seem to be hurt, their bikes were nowhere near being any steadier than th
