Author's Pov

In the morning,

At Singhania House,

It's a busy morning in Singhania family.

Amidst the sounds of crippling newspaper pages to toaster, members of the family is all set for the breakfast.

But someone is missing from the scene as usual.

"Zara apne ladle ko bulake lao." Aadarsh's father, Anant rolled his wheelchair towards the dinning and asked Amrita (Adaarsh's mother) to call Aadarsh.

(Call your dear son)

He is been on wheelchair for years now. Unfortunately after meeting with an accident on his way from business trip, he went for surgery but it wasn't successful.

Since then, he took this incident as his failure and a difference had been noticed in his behaviour slowly. He became more cold, rude and angry and created difference with almost everyone with his family member but the most effect fell on his relationship with his son.

Aadarsh never liked his father demeanor being changed liked that, he always asked him but never got a straight question. He missed his father being all sweet and cheerful.

Knowing her husband, Amrita fears the tension between him and her son.

She carefully not making Anant irritated told their housemaid to call Aadarsh, "Rekha, go and please call Aadarsh, check if he is awake or not. "

"Usko abhi sone dijiye na, kal lagta hain rat ko aya hain." His cousin elder brother, Manan suggested.

(I guess he came late at night yesterday, let him sleep no)  

"Beta, tum time dekho, 8 baj chuka hain." Anant spoke without looking at him.

(You see the time, its already its 8am)

"Re dekhiye, aa gaya, aja jaldi." His sister-in-law Disha informed and smiled at him.

(He is here, come fast.)

"Good morning ghar walon." Aadarsh showed his frsh charming smile.

(Good morning, house members)

His brother pulled his hand from the side and whispered, "Itna has mat. (Don't smile to much) Your dad is angry on you. Touch elders' feet fast."

"Woh to roz ka hain." He casually replied.

(That's a daily thing)

"Jaldi, sab wait kar rahe hain." Manan said.

He quickly walked towards them and touched their feet one by one. Starting from his uncle and then repeated the same with his parents.

But when it comes to his father, he almost touched his feet. His father sensing the disrespect,  left a tired sigh.

Aadarsh acting as if nothing happened, takes a seat beside his brother and starts having his breakfast.

He doesn't fear his father, like everyone does. He simply dislike his father now whom he once used to hug like there is no tomorrow.

Adaarsh's uncle(Manish) and aunty (Niyati) observing all these silently knowing, Anant will never change, shakes their heads lightly and starts eating.

"Aadar, you didn't take the car yesterday?" Amrita asked.

"No Ma. Actually the car got broken so its in the center for repairing." He informed. 

"So why haven't you told me Adu." Manan asked from beside with a tone of disappointment.
