Long time No see

His pov

I was sitting in my office doing some work related to the project & my phone rang, I looked at the caller and it was none other than my father
" Yes Father," I said in a monotone
"Ahaan, when are you coming to India ? " he asked. Even though I told him that I was not going to come as I was so busy with this project that I didn't even have time to eat.
"Dad, I've already told you that I'm not coming to India then why are you asking me the same questions again and again?" I asked irritated
"Look boy, even though you've become a businessman no need to show me this attitude, I will not gonna tolerate this behaviour of yours," he said seriously
I rolled my eyes at my father, that's the thing about brown parents they can talk to us in any way they want but we can't even raise our voices in front of them.
"Ok, Dad sorry but I'm very busy and you know about that project right?" I tried to explain to him
"I understand beta I've been through the same but I never ignored my family because of work and my son, you are so drawn into work that you even forget about your parents who are worrying about their son. Mahek is also asking for you," he said almost pleading
I feel bad for my parents, I'm such a bad son. He is right, here I'm so drawn to work that I forget about my parents who need their son. My father needs to plead with me to come to India which shows how bad a son I am.
"Ok Dad, I'm coming to India " I sighed.
"Ok beta, take care and don't forget to eat," he said happily
My father knows how to make me do things that I don't want to do. His emotional manipulation always works on me. Even though I'm cold and rude towards others I'm always soft with my family, especially my father. I have always been close to my father. He is my idol and I love my mom too but sometimes she goes overboard, she doesn't understand me the way my dad does. There are very few people in my life with whom I'm closest and share anything I want. My father, Shiv, Evan and my grandmother.

I've always been closest to my grandmother until she left. I was almost in depression after her death because for me she is so much more than my grandmother. She is more like my mother than my mother, she raised me and every moment I've shared with her was my happiest moment. After her death, I don't know when I was the happiest. Everybody in my family that I am so close to her, even Shiv's family also knows that. Shiv tried so hard to get me out of this depression but I just can't. That's why my father sent me to NY to handle his business and to complete my studies so I don't have much time to think about anything. True to his intentions, it was the right decision as I got so busy with work and studies that I didn't have much time to think about my grandmother but still I always miss her.

There's one more thing that never leaves my mind even though I was so damn busy with my work, her memories always made their way to my head. How much I was busy with work, I can't help but think about her. She rules my heart, my mind, my everything. I tried to date so many girls just to forget her but I can't. That girl was not her. She is something very special to me that I can't even describe in proper words. She thinks I hate her but the truth is I am afraid to fall for her and if I fall for her I will ruin her. I will not be able to control myself around her and I'll probably destroy her with my hands and my mouth. Only Looking at her pictures gives me a boner, I don't know what will happen if I get to see her in person. Everyone in our family thinks that we are enemies and yes it was true that I hated her and I still do but both hates are different. When I was in my teenage days I hated her because I thought she was acting all innocent and naive in front of everyone. But it was not true also I thought she was rude after that waiter's matter but then I got to know that, that waiter was harassing a girl and she saved that girl and also complained about him to her father. She was like a lonely girl who never had friends, and with a joint family, nobody paid attention to her.

I always thought things she was doing it all for attention but it was different, yeah she wants attention so that her family notices her even if it's bad or good but it took me so long to understand what she is. She was always around clinging to me & Shiv. Whenever we used to go somewhere, she came with us. She always cried about going out with us as Shiv is a good brother and he can't see tears in her eyes, he always fulfils her wishes. I noticed that she is a very shy and introverted type of person, she never speaks unless you ask her something. She only likes to listen while letting others speak.
I hated everything about her, she always irritated me but on her 13th birthday, I noticed her I noticed her. Harsh uncle throws a big party for her birthday and she wears lilac coloured dress, she looks like an angel, her a round chubby face, she even puts on some weight but still, she looks divine. I don't know why I just can't seem to take my eyes off her. I tried my best to ignore her and my feelings towards her. I even started to verbally bully her but she was so naive that she thought I was flirting with her. To prove my feelings wrong I hurt her by throwing words at her when she came to me to confess her feelings but I was such a coward and to look cool in front of my friends I made her feel bad about herself.

But soon I realised how big was my mistake. When we went to spend time with my grandmother in her last few days, I told her everything & she was upset with me because she was not expecting this move from me. Even if I'm upset with myself how can I make a girl feel bad about herself? That time realised how much I fucked up. I was already struggling with the sadness of my grandmother's death and now the guilt and regret of losing her. I felt like I can't breathe. When she was clinging to us I hated that but now I'm craving for her. All these years, she became like my habit but she was gone already.

I packed my bags and started getting ready for the airport. My flight is in the night so I decided to wear something comfortable. I sat on my business class seat and decided to take a rest as this journey to India was going to be long.
