What will ha...
The journey was great as I got a companion ms Rosie. So it was great. At the airport, they exchanged smiles and parted on our ways. My mother and I took a cab to my maternal house as we wanted to give a surprise to my aunts and cousins.
The ride home was great for me as I saw Pune after many years, a wave of nostalgia hit me. I was immersed in seeing the beauty of Pune that I forgot that we had reached their destination.
We rang the bell and the door was opened by my aunt. She was so surprised to see us that her eyes started to fill with tears of happiness. My cousins were also very surprised about our immediate arrival. I was very happy to meet my aunts and cousins. We freshened up and then went downstairs for lunch.
While lunch, my cousins were asking about Pondicherry and her job at the café.
"So, Ray, you always go on the trip to Diu. So how come you are here in Pune.?" asked Apoorva.
"Oh, the flight was booked till next month. So, we have to cancel the trip. At last, we thought to surprise you all by visiting Pune" I answered with a smile. "And cant I miss you all so much that I come to meet you?" I asked pretending to be hurt.
"Yeah we know how much you miss us", Kyra spoke on behalf of all of them. I mean they are right I do not contact them, but they still hurt. *guilty smile*
"Oh I miss you and your shenanigans so much," I said hugging them.
We ate lunch and went on a Pune trip. We visited famous places such as Shaniwar Wada, Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum and many more places like that.
The days flew into the week. We enjoyed our stay very much, but it was time for my aunts to leave for home. I was going to miss them. Brain, remind me to call them every week. Put a reminder to call them too. *thumbs up*
"Why are you leaving this early?" I asked my cousin while she was packing for departure.
"Oh, we have an adventure camp from 15 May, so we have to go there. Hey, wait you can come too. We will do your online registration, and also we can get to spend more time together. What do you think?" suggested my cousin.
"That's great, Kyra. I will ask mom and then give you the confirmation. Is that okay?"
"Yeah but tell me till night as today is the last day of registration," answered Kyra.
"Mom I have to talk to you about something," said Ray as she went to the other room to her mother.
"Yes, Ray tell me, what do you want?"
"aww mom, I just came to tell you that you are so beautiful. Cant I say that?" I said feigning hurt. (I mean I am dramatic guys, it runs in genes)
"I know I am beautiful Ray. Just come to the point. What do you want?" How does she know that I want something? I mean I was discreet as hell. Stupid mother instincts.
"Okay, fine. Mom, can I go to Mumbai too there is some adventure camp and Kyra is going there only by the way what will I do here as all are leaving I will get bored"
"Okay, then you go I will stay in Pune till you return from your camp and by the way, I want no complains" weird, she agreed that early. I had a whole speech planned. *cries*
"thanks, mom," I said excitedly.
"Myyyyyra I got the permission," I screamed from the room. She quickly did my registration and tomorrow we were leaving for Mumbai. While packing my bags, I went to the room where my mother was for my night cream and there I heard.
"I am gonna finally relax now as Ray is going for the camp. Good idea, taai" the said taai being Kyra's mother.
"Oh that's my way of relaxing during vacations" so that's why she agreed to that quickly. I entered the room and asked for my night cream and exited with a straight face.
The next day, we reached the station I kissed my scheming mother goodbye ( I am bad but not that bad) and left for my bus to Mumbai. We reached Mumbai and the camp was starting tomorrow.
So, I started packing for the camp and as I was short of casual camp-like clothes I borrowed them from Kyra.
We slept early as tomorrow was a big day for us. The next day, We got ready on time and boarded the bus for the camp.
