Ankahi Baatein

3| My Home

From the day Abhyudaya and Gautami had met each other, their bond evolved, making it a strong connection of mutual respect, trust, affection and friendship.

Gautami was an orphan living on her own and Abhyudaya lived with his family. His mother was a lovely and loving person and Abhyudaya's favourite person of all time.

Now if his mother was Abhyudaya's favourite person of all time, then his younger sister Madhushree was the reason for his miseries as well as happiness. He loved and hated his sister both and the feeling was same for her as well for Abhyudaya but the amount of love was more than the amount of hate between the two.

Abhyudaya's father was a businessman and due to his business overseas could not spend his much time with his family but no love was lost between the father and son duo.

Gautami was a happy girl living and enjoying her life with her parents whom she loved deeply and her mom and dad too loved her more than anything but destiny had some other plans for her instead.

It was the night of her 13th birthday and the family were on their way returning back home after celebrating Gautami's birthday, with smiles and numerous laughs filling up the atmosphere when all of a sudden, in just a few seconds, everything ended.

A huge truck collided with the car from the rear side where Gautami's father was driving with her mother on the front seat and her on the backseat.

Gautami could not believe nor understand what happened suddenly without any notice. All she could see clearly was her parents lying lifeless on their respective seats. Gautami's parents died on the spot from numerous severe injuries from the crash and poor little 13 year old Gautami was left all alone.

This incident left a deep scar on her mind and heart throughout the years she grew up in an orphanage. Gautami had no relatives and her late mother and father were not in touch with them either so as to have someone take care of her.

Now moving onto the present. Abhyudaya and Gautami through their newfound friendship and by spending time with each other, found quite some similarities linking with them. Both of them shared a mutual passion for music, favourite food of all time was pizza and preferred to be alone with their own company, not feeling the need of any other.

One day, they decided to try something new. Abhyudaya called Gautami over to his house after college which he had rented in the city and was sharing with a roommate. His family lived in another city.

Gautami: Hi Abhyudaya. Toh batao kya baat thi tumhe mujhse?

Abhi: Aree pehle tum ghar ke andar toh aa jao.

Gautami: Oh haa😅

Abhi: Toh main soch raha tha ke kyun naa hum ek studio khol le apna?

Gautami: Gaane record karne?

Abhi: Haa obviously. Lyrics tumhare honge aur composed music mera.

Gautami: Plan toh achha hai.

Abhi: Toh kya main haa samjhu?

Gautami: Haa bilkul. Let's do it.

Abhi (hugs her): Thank you Gautami.

Gautami (hugs him back): Mention not Abhyudaya. Main humesha hoon tumhare saath.

Abhyudaya pulls away from the hug and looks at her with a smile. "I know."

Time flies by and now, Abhyudaya and Gautami were handling their college life and their business of recording songs at their studio altogether. In the beginning, getting clients was pretty difficult for having their songs recorded but both of them did not give up.
