We are family

Chapter 2

As soon as Ansh got to his bedroom, he frowned

It was too plain for his liking. He preferred his room in USA a lot, lot, lot better because it was especially designed for him by his sister who was the best interior designer in the world. He made a quick call to her.

On call

Ani: what do you want

Ansh: what, can't a brother call his sister

Ani: unless he wants something

Ansh: fine, I got to my room and it's

Ani: plain and boring

Ansh: exactly, so could you please make time for your brother and come and design it, please

Ani: you know I don't want to step foot in India

Ansh: please, I can't live in this

Ani: you know you sound like a brat

Ansh: that's what happens when you are used to your sister's lovely designs

Ani: *sigh*

Ansh: so are you coming

Ani: I will come when the whole family is not there

Ansh: and how is that supposed to happen

Ani: I don't know, if you want me to design it, those are my conditions

Ansh: fine, I will see what I can do

Ani: great, bye

Ansh: bye

End of call.

Ansh's POV

I sit in my plain bedroom and start answering to some emails. After some time, it's time for dinner and I see the whole family having dinner and they didn't even bother to call me great. I see grandma giving me an apologetic look, they did something to make sure I don't come didn't they? I ask the servant the way to the kitchen and he directs me there. I make a simple Spaghetti Bolognese.

I going to my room when I suddenly heard

Dadi: Ansh beta where are you going, come eat with us

Oh so now they want me to eat with them

Ansh: no thank you

I decline as politely as I can

Pinky: Ansh come eat with us

Ansh: but

Pinky: no buts, mother-in-law may be asking but I'm not

I sigh and start walking towards the dining table and start eating as quietly as I can. I'm starting to miss Anya and Ani really bad. Dinner was always the best, countless arguments, jokes and never ending laughter

Tara: so Ansh bhai, what is your career?

Ansh: I'm a business man

Akshay: really, which company do you work in?

Ansh: I own triple A industries

I could here gasps

Ruvya: you mean the best company  in the world whose owner didn't want anything to do with India

Ansh: yeah and I think you all know why

Shivaay: we are going to a family trip to Maldives 

Ansh: except me

Dadi: why

Pinky: he has been there

Akshay: but I thought you never stepped foot in India after grandfather sent you to USA

Ansh: Anya wanted to go somewhere new, exciting. Even though she doesn't like this country she has a soft spot it cause this is the country which our mother was born in, isn't it, so she thought Maldives would be the perfect relaxion resort.

Rudra: so you want to be here alone for 2 weeks

Ansh: yeah

Kavya: your lose

Yes! Ani can come and design my room

Tej: no, Ansh you are coming with us

Pinky: if he doesn't want to go then don't force him besides he wants to stay behind to set up a branch for his business

She says and winks at me secretly

They all agree to leave me behind. Soon after dinner I text Ani and she says she will be coming  along with Anya  the day  after tomorrow.
