29. Our Home

"Now give a loud applause to our Topper from FINANCE DEPARTMENT, Mr. Mayan Gupta." A roar of hooting sounded as the students started applauding for Mayan. Mayan stood up from his seat and took a deep breath to calm down his nervousness and fast beating heart. Riya caught his trembling right hand then gave it a light squeeze with a reassuring smile on her face.

Mayan opened his eyes then gave a soft smile to Riya and nodded at Vivek's direction who was seating on the right side of Riya. Vivek gave him thumbs-up as Mayan took several steps ahead from their seat to the stage.

As his feet touched the floor of stage, he stopped then mumbled to himself," This is for you mom. I hope you are proud of me."

"Looks like our topper is thanking to God." The anchor joked as the crowd hooted at Mayan's innocent act. Mayan smiled at the anchor then walked ahead to the row of his teachers. He greeted each of the teachers politely then stood by the side of principal Sir. The Sir, smiled at him then held up the degree for Mayan. Mayan took it then mumbled his thanks as the tears found their way to his beautiful eyes. After gathering his degree, he bend down and touch the feet of the principal, an act to get his blessing.

The principal patted his back with a smile on his face then pulled him up," You are a really good student. All the best for your future. Make your parents and teachers, proud of you."

"Thank you Sir." Mayan turned around then beamed to see familiar faces, waving at his direction from a far. With a smile on his face and tears in his eyes, he climbed down off the stairs then walked ahead to his parents.

"Congratulations BHAI!!!" Nimrat yelled as she hugged him tightly. Mayan winced at her scream but gathered her in his arms.

"Thank you Angel." Nimrat smiled then broke the hug and stood aside as Mamta and Ashok took their turns to hug their son.

"We are so proud of you Mayan." Mamta patted his back then wipe the tears, falling from her eyes. With a smile, she wipe the kajal from the corner of her eye then made a black mark with it, on the back of Mayan's right ear.

"God save you from every evil." Ashok snorted at her cuteness and gave her flying kiss. Mamta ignored his teasing eyes and pulled away from Mayan as Ashok took a step forward and peck on the top of Mayan's head.

"God bless you Mayan. We are proud of you."

"Thanks dad. I am happy to make you guys happy and hope that mom is also proud of m-me." The trembling in Mayan's voice, clenched Mamta's and Ashok's heart. They love him a lot and seeing him like that, made them sad.

"She is, son. She is proud of you. After all you are her brave young boy." Mamta whispered then wipe the tears from his eyes as Ashok squeezed his shoulder. Then again they caught him in a warm yet big hug with Nimrat including in it, till they felt him relax.

After calming down, Mayan broke the hug then look around to find the handsome face of his lover,"Where is Abhi?"

Ashok opened his mouth to say something when Riya butt in," Hey Mayan let's go. They are calling for you to do the last ceremony thing." Riya called him as Vivek signalled him to come.

"It's ok. Go and enjoy yourself." Mayan was about to deny him because he wanted to see Abhi but Riya pulled him away from them.

"Bu_." Riya shook her head as she pulled him towards Vivek.

"No buts. It's our day!! So enjoy it. WOOOHOOO!!" Mayan turned around to his parents, silently asking for their help but they just wave their hands to him, to go ahead.

"Dad!! What are we doing here? And where is Abhi?" Mayan was irritated with his family and friends. Just as the ceremony ended, Nimrat called him outside of the college and without informing him anything, his family and friends dragged him inside the car and drove off to here.
