Moon Or Stars?

The One That Got Away

It took some time for me to get going with my present life.

I combed my hair and applied lipstick and perfume and then we were off to Siddarth's home.

We were going in his car which was driven by his driver / bodyguard Gustavo , yes he was Russian and pretty well build , and quite good looking.

But was fluent in English , Hindi and Russian .

He'd slept the entire night in the , wait which car did he get now ? Last time I checked it was Audi or maybe BMW but this was Rolls Royce .

" Can we stop by a flower shop ?" I asked Siddarth who was sitting next to me with his palm on my thigh.

Still trying to calm me down.

" Sure. " he said.

" Thanks. At least I can get some flowers for your parents." I said.

He smiled.

I got down at a shop and bought a few bouquets and then after half an hour we were at The Majestic Estate.

Or Siddarth Lamba's house.

House is quite a small word to describe the place where I was.

We got down in front of a lift and Gustavo went to park the car.

"My parents can be a bit crazy. So don't mind them " he said.

" Everyone has crazy parents. " I reassured him.

Then we enter the lift which directly leads us to a huge hall.

All kind of modern art and wait !

Is that my portrait on the wall ??

The hall's decor was entirely of veneer and it looked really majestic , exactly as the name suggests.

A guy in black trousers and crisp white shirt with bowtie came from a room and said , " Good Morning Mr . Lamba. Your parents are in the drawing. They were really worried about you all night. You didn't message them that you weren't going to come back at night. " He asked.

" Shit. I just forgot." Sid murmured to himself.

He grabbed my hand and led me to the drawing.

Mr. And Mrs. Lamba were sitting on the couch discussing something.

"Mom dad ! I'm really sorry ! I forgot to tell you! " Said Siddarth as we greeted them.

" Good Morning! Mr. And Mrs. Lamba" I smiled and said handing then the bouquets.

" Good Morning! Sweetheart. " Said Mrs. Lamba as she hugged me.

" Good Morning! Call me papa or Randeep. Mr. Lamba makes me feel older than Gandalf !" Said Mr. Lamba or Randeep or papa as he'd suggested.

I just smiled.

" And I'm Sangeeta , you can call me Maa , you really look beautiful in reality. " she smiled and said.

" Thanks, Maa " I said.

Both of them looked really good. And their behavior was even better.

That's where Siddarth got his genes from , I guess.

" Hey ! Did you guys forget me ? I'm Siddarth !" He reminded everyone.

"Yes. We did. Go and have a bath. You look like a tattered Hulk." Said maa.

I stifled a laugh.

" You know what Payal? We thought he was gay ! He'd never bought a girl to our house before." Said paa.
