It's been 10 years Lal and his family has settled in USA. Every 2 years he used to visit India, to meet his family and friends. Normally Lal and his wife Juli visited their hometown alone. This year the whole family decided to come over because of two reasons. First was his elder daughter, Anitha's wedding. Second, his younger son, Aditya decided to start a company and settle in India.
Aditya is a 25 year old Software engineer who has never lost the sentiment towards India, even after spending 10 years abroad. That is the main reason, he wishes to settle down here.John waited at the airport to receive his beloved friend and family.
Lal rushed to his friend the moment he spotted John and gave a tight hug.J:"How are you Lalu.."
L:"Now I am super good, after seeing you. "
John greeted Juli and the children.
"Adi and Anitha has grown up alot. When I saw them last, they could merely talk properly. "
All of them shared a friendly talk and proceeded to the newly bought appartment by Lal.
Margret, John's wife, was already present there, arranging the necessities and food for the day.Juli:"Thank you so much Margaret. You have done alot for us today."
M:"Hey, why are you thanking me. We are a family right."
Anitha:"Aww, so cute.."
All of them joined at the dinner table talking about all the happy moments and wedding preparations.
Anitha:"By the way, where is Anu..? You haven't mentioned anything about her."John:"She is at hostel. It's a working day right. Since it's her final year,she can't miss the classes too. "
Margret:"Ya, and she was hell pissed off because of her absence today. She really wanted to meet you all. Especially you Anitha, remember you were inseparable during childhood. And Adi always irritated you both. "
Anitha:"Ofcourse I remember. I am so excited to meet her. Please aunty ask her to come tomorrow itself. It's weekend right . And Easter vacation is also coming. I want to do all my wedding shopping with her."
Ma:"Ofcourse dear. She will come by afternoon tomorrow."
Lal:"And guys, tomorrow it's Adi's birthday. And I wish to celebrate it."
John:"Wow, that's great. I think we should arrange a party. If you mentioned me earlier, I would have done all the arrangements."
Aditya:"Please uncle, don't. I hate such parties. I wish to celebrate my bday with the closed ones only. I think we all are enough."
Aditya was a simple guy. He was never onto big parties and unnecessary stuffs. The only thing that he liked was traveling.
Anitha;"Fine Adi. But atleast we need to go to some restaurants. Please...."
Everyone insisted on that. Finally he agreed.
