♡︎Tarun's Pov♡︎           

I leaned against my seat, drumming my hands upon the steering wheel. We were returning back to my mansion now, by the evening we assessed the types of rocks in that village, all the while Maha kept an eye on us with such interest making me quite proud.

"You are thinking about her, aren't you?" Richard had a smirk plastered onto his face and I offered him a tight lip smile. Why is it amusing If I have been thinking of her? She is too funny without even trying and I really got impressed by the respectful name that she had given to me.

Scientist.

Well, I am not complaining though. I feel some kind of fervor when she came up with that. "Answer Tarun, are you thinking about her?" Richard howled tearing me out of my thoughts. "Shut up or I am gonna kick you out of this car" He pursed his lips instantly and stared at me with a poker face.

Seriously, this guy is trying to get me with that little girl who might be completing her studies in school? Nah, I am not a pedophile. That's the last thing I ever want to be. "But Tarun, she is cute" Richard muttered and gave me a side glance before darting his eyes to the road. "So?" I raised my eyebrows at him. I agree she is cute but I ain't planning to take it in any other way by mentioning her that.

"Tarun, are you gonna die as a virgin? Come on Man, date someone!" He was again facing me now and I shook my head at his stupid words. I might as well die a virgin rather than be with a person I don't love. I honestly never understood this concept of love from my childhood itself, previously I thought you fall in love with a person at first sight as they portray in serials and movies.

But that wasn't true, If you think you fell for a person at first sight then it must be because the other person was attractive to you. Yeah, it's totally a physical appearance thing. That is my genuine opinion, well atleast that's what I believe. So I don't know how this love is initiated in people or from when they realize they have been in love. It's for real a complicated matter to me.

But nowadays I feel myself getting weird feelings without any reason. Like, when that little girl fell in front of me. I felt a sudden ecstasy in my heart. I haven't felt like that before which is the reason why I didn't like that feeling.

The rest of the car ride was mostly silent, except for the occasional huffs that would leave Richard's mouth. As I finally pulled over the car in the garage, Richard unlocked the car door and sauntered up to the mansion with a hurried pace. I shook my head, watching his silly outrageous behavior.

I retrieved the car key and sank back on my seat, a breeze of comfort nuzzled past me, letting me to shut my eyes. But it didn't last for even two minutes as my mobile began to vibrate inside my pocket. Slipping it out of my pocket, I looked at the name on it, "Amanda". A smile crept onto my lips as I attended the call and put it to my ear.

"Tarunnnn! I miss you soo much already" she screamed on the other side making me chuckle. "I miss you too," I said and heard her giggle. "Hmm?" I frowned when I didn't get any reply. "Want to return to the US, huh?" Her voice held amusement. "Nah, I love it here though" there was silence before she again spoke up.

"Okay then Tarun, I am currently working on my assignment but I suddenly missed you very much that's why I contacted you, take care Tarun. Love you" I smiled at her words. Love really does have so many kinds."Love ya too, take care Amanda" I disconnected the call and stepped outside the car locking it behind me.

Walking inside my mansion, I found Richard speaking with my sister while my parents are nowhere to be seen in the living room. "Where's mom Aadhya?" She looked up at me. "In the kitchen..." I nodded my head and resumed striding towards the kitchen but paused as Aadhya called me.

"Who is Maha?" I sent a glare to Richard as he smirked back at me. He has a big mouth, not even ten minutes into the mansion and he had already blurted out everything. With a devilish grin, I parted my lips to speak. "Maha, yeah it's that girl who Richard was mentioning as cute back in the car ride" I shrugged, swerving around and making my way inside the kitchen. I heard Richard gasp and I smiled in victory.

"Oh my god Yamuna, I can't stop these tears" my dad whimpered tugging the onions away and settling the knife on the counter. "What do I do Yamuna, my eyes are burning" Dad disclosed crying out as my mom watched him quietly with worry. It was truly so heartwarming to just watch them both together.

"Just wash your face Arjun mama," Mom said with a displeased look and swirled to my side, her lips tugging up in a wide grin. "Tarun!" she came towards me and I hugged her small frame. "Go and freshen up da, we are preparing dosa and sambar for you!" She said as she pulled away.

"Oh! here comes the mom and son's love" dad rolled his eyes saying that. Mom and I glanced at each other and grinned playfully. "Appaaaa!" With my arms open, I went to embrace him but the reaction on his face was priceless. He ran on the other side of the counter and looked at me in horror.

"What are you doing?" He asked me wide-eyed as I smirked back at him. "Come on appa, let me give you a hug"
He eyed me and my mom repeatedly before rushing out of the kitchen almost at the speed of light. I peered at my mom and we both burst into laughter at dad's actions. He really is funny.
