"Ma," Subha called out, "We're back."

No one responded.

Subha turned to look at me and I shrug my shoulders. Where the hell is everyone?

Just then we heard laughter from the kitchen area. We moved towards that area and what we found there left me shocked.

"Amma?"

What was my mother doing here? In Subha's house?

She gave me a look, "Now the boy remembers he has a mother. You went directly from your office to pick up Subha didn't you? Now that sir has a fiancé he has forgotten all about us""

I looked down sheepishly, I forgot to tell mum about my plans today.

"No Ma, I- I- didn't forget, I..." I struggled to get out under her glowering stare, when she suddenly burst out laughing.

"I'm just kidding Arjun," she said, still laughing she turned to Subha, "Subha, I don't know what you did to him my love, but you have succeeded in something I have failed to do in so many years... getting him to come home before 5pm,"

Subha shyly lowered her and softly smiled, "No aunty, there's nothing like that"

"Aunty?" my mum gave her an offended look, "Subha darling, you're getting married to my son in a month, I think I can be upgraded to at least athamma don't you think?"

Subha chuckled, "Of course.. athamma,"

My mum pat her head and smiled back at her.

Subha's mum smiled looking at the both of them, "Ahahaha alright, you Arjun, Subha, both of you go wash your hands and wait with the other kids in the backyard, the dinner is almost done."

Subha nodded and we started making our way out of the kitchen, until I realised something.

"Ma, where is dad?" I questioned.

"Oh your dad and Jayram Annaya (Also older brother - just the more formal way) went to go get ice-cream for desert," Amma replied.

Me and Subha make eye contact and stifle our laughs.

We try to make it out to the backyard without cracking up and surprisingly, we somehow made it out of the kitchen.

As soon as we were out of sight, Subha let out a laugh.

God she looks so beautiful.

I stared at her mesmerised in her alluring beauty. Without even realising it, I slowly snaked my arms around back, pulling her closer to me.

I unclipped her hair and watched as it cascaded down her back.

~ Subha ~

As we were trying to make it to the backyard with much difficulty, I couldn't hold it back anymore.

I threw my head back and laughed.
Oh my god, we just had ice-cream and now we have to eat it again. Not that I mind but still...

I was lost in my thoughts and laughter when I felt Arjun's hand around my back. I quickly snapped out of my daze and looked into his eyes as he pulled me closer.

His hands reached behind me and unclipped my hair.

His attention soon came back onto my face and his eyes flickered in between my eyes and lips.
