Life's like a movie

CHAPTER IX

CHAPTER IX

Ayaan was still trying to figure out his actual relations with his parents and sister. What he really was to them. He was devastated after hearing such news. It dropped on him like a big fat bomb, his thoughts weren't anywhere else but the adoption. Ayaan was just too dumb to notice. And so, he called Alisha once again. Alisha at that moment, was chilling by the swimming pool, waiting for Aryan and their food. She was just chilling and enjoying her moment whilst Aryan ruins her chill by calling her.

Alisha: Could you for once let me have a vacation?

Aryan: No. Now listen. Mum just told me that I am adopted. And she said you knew the news, and you kept on telling me but I was just too egoistic to accept. And I want to ask you right now, am I actually adopted.

Alisha: Brother. You are old enough to understand weather you are adopted or not. And if mum, out of all people told you that you were adopted, then you might be. AND, I was born after you, so how am I supposed to know the entire story?

Ayaan: Well, I don't know. Just, maybe mum and dad might have told you about it!

Alisha: Well, I am sorry brother, for I shall also drop the grenade on you. You are adopted.

Ayaan didn't believe it, he was in complete denial for it. His ego and himself at heart never believed that he was actually adopted, all he had was one last hope. And that was his father. Ayaan decided to ask the father when he is angry, because when his father is angry, he always gives straight answers and never jokes around.

Mohamed (the father) arrives home and gives a calm greeting to the family.

Mohamed: Asalamualeikum everyone. How is everything?

Sofia: For now, it's only me. Your daughter is in Dubai and your son is upstairs weeping.

Mohamed: Well, I do believe Alisha is enjoying it to her most. And Ayaan is weeping?

Sofia: Well, I joked to him about him being adopted and as well as Alisha. He called Alisha and she also told him that he is adopted, from so, he believed.

Mohamed: Oh God! *Laughs*

Sofia: Some time alone without the kids finally.

Ayaan peeps downstairs and eavesdrops his parents' conversation.

Ayaan: *mouthing* EW! *Imitates a vomit*

Mohamed: Funny right? Our kids have their own love lives and we yet are trying to romance.

Sofia: Our son?? *chuckles*

Mohamed: He should get one. Alisha beat him in this competition.

Sofia: Right, but I am also worried about Alisha. Not that this happens that they two break up later on after they have built such a strong relationship. Alisha wants him to be the one and only as well.

Ayaans' mouth dropped wide open, in shock for finding out about Alisha and Aryan. He felt as if he was betrayed. Ayaan decides to come out and fight his parents for allowing Alisha to go out alone.

Aryan: *Shouts* I KNEW IT! I JUST KNEW IT! YOU GUYS WERE HIDING THIS THING ALL ALONG? THAT THE TWO ARE NOW DATING? I allowed them to go together to Dubai. That's fine. But DATING? Mum, dad, I didn't know you would really stoop so low. I didn't know that you would give your daughters body at such a cheap price.

Mohamed: *Shouts* AYAAN! SHUT UP! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT YOUR SISTER!

Ayaan: *Sarcastically* Except that I am not the brother.

Mohamed: Ayaan! They were all pranking you. We are your biological parents. Aren't you literally old enough to see that?

Ayaan: *In a sad tone*Oh? Really? I- I didn't know that.

Sofia: Ok! Both of you, just keep down! I don't like such fights in the family and you know that!

Ayaan: Mum, this is un-acceptable. I can't let my sister be dating such a man! You guys don't really know how he actually is, I know his reality.

Mohamed: Ok. Ayaan. How is he? What kind of a man is he? Because the last time we met, we met together with Alisha. And there was this guy who had called Alisha and just started abusing her, and Aryan took her phone and shouted and abused him back. He also tracked the number and everything just so that guy could get a punishment, and he was jailed later on, not Aryan, the guy who verbally abused Alisha is the one who was sent to jail and Aryan is the one who sent him to jail.

Ayaan: And how don't I know about the story?

Mohamed: YOU WEREN'T THERE! YOU CAN'T ALWAYS ASSUME SOMETHING OF YOUR CHOICE!

Ayaan: WHAT CAN I DO THEN? It's because I love-

Ayaan knew that he was about to blurt something of his secret out. Which he realized about. Without any second thoughts, Ayaan ran out of the living room and went to his room.

*BANG* Aryan closes the door with a hand filled with rage.

Ayaan lies down in his bed, with countless tears rolling down his cheeks, and himself, sobbing non-stop, in dis-belief of what had just happened. He was shocked, and he was in distraught. He just couldn't believe what happened.
In the meantime, Mohamed was left wondering on what Ayaan wanted to say. Mohamed lied down in the couch the entire day staring at the ceiling with no idea about what happened with his son.
Mohamed goes to Aryans room and opens the door slowly.

Mohamed: Hey, can I come in?

Ayaan: Why should you? You anyways love your daughter more than me.

Mohamed: Heyy, don't say that. I love you both equally alright?

Ayaan: Sure. You just speak, never actually show. What a hypocrite!

Mohamed: Look, this is a matter of Alisha's' private life ok, and she really loves Aryan, so does Aryan! They both love each other a lot, so why interfere? Also, we know Aryan as a guy right? He's been with us all this while, then why break them when we trust him. Possibilities are that they can get married as well, I am sure that none of us want to spoil that for the two right?

Ayaan: Yes dad, but with me it's a different case, you won't understand what is with me. It's not what you would want to listen to.

Mohamed: You can tell me anything son, just tell me, what is it that is bothering you so much?

Ayaan: Dad- I, I am gay.

Mohameds hand slips away from Ayaans shoulder slowly, his entire forehead with droplets of water dropping down from his face, and his watery eyes frozen in sight of the wall.

Mohamed: *In his thoughts* I can't believe this. What is happening here? What have I done? This is all my fault.

Mohamed gets up, and walks out of the room holding his breath along with a shocking expression on his face. He never thought he would face such a day. He was petrified and clueless. He calls Alisha to share the news, but Alishas phone is switched off. Mohamed gets worried.

Mohamed: Her phone is never switched off, how can it be switched off right now? I should call Aryan. *calls Aryan* Ayaans phone is also switched off? How can this be?

Mohamed gets even more stressed, especially after what had happened during the entire day regarding Ayaan. Mohamed, with all the stress and anxiety about his kids, fainted.
