He had everything a very loving family, a well-established job. but behind his calm and composed demeanor he was scared, lonely 12-year-old kid who was still stuck in the most frightful morning of his life happened 20 years ago.

Ayansh, where are you, beta, why aren't you picking my call, Veena bombarded with questions as soon her son received the call, typical Mom thing.
Mom I was in seminar, Ayansh reminded her.
Since yesterday, Professor Ayansh? sarcasm and irritation are obvious in her words.
Mom, I reached here in midnight, and I am sure Ravi must have informed you about everything, Ravi is his PA and he gets his mother's call every day, basically he is doing free service of informer for his Mom.
When my son doesn't find it important to inform his mother so I only have option to call his PA, Veena said in dramatic voice.
Mom, stop watching those Star Plus shows, Aayansh could hear Aarav's laugh, phone is on speaker.
Bhai is right, both the ladies in this house are becoming more dramatic day by day, his little brother never miss opportunity to tease his wife. Oww, and the next second, Ayansh heard him screaming, he got smack on his head from Ojashwi, his wife.
Beta, you are coming for this summer vacation naah, Veena asked with hope as her son mostly avoid leaving his little nest, far from his family, he lives in Dehradun, the northern part of the country while his family lives in Nagpur, the western part of the country.
Ah, Mom I'll try, he mostly attends some seminars or spending his time in writing book in vacations, there are only 2 things make him feel happy, teaching and writing.
Don't make excuses to not to come home. You are making these excuses since years. Aashvi also wants to see her brother, she cried so much last year as you promised her to come but at last you give us some excuse again, Aashvi comes Nagpur for a month every year in summer, she lives in Bangaluru with her family. Ayansh hasn't gone home since last 3 years and his little sister always complains about this, well his parents aren't happy about it either.
I'll come Mom, he said, his mother sounds like she will break his head, if he makes any attempt to deny her.
Good, that's good, really good, Veena sounds so emotional as if she has achieved something big, she should really stop watching those TV serials.
Where is dad, Mom, he asked as there are no comments from his dad in between our talks as he always does.
He went to Ahmedabad for business related stuff, Veena said in irritation, she really gets upset whenever Jaydeep goes out of town leaving her at home.
Mom, next month, you are going to complete 39 years of your marriage, Aarav teased her, they really don't behave like an old couple.
So what? you can't even learn from your own parents, I am destined to have such an unromantic husband, Ojashwi huffed. These little happy banter makes his feel envy of them, his parents, Aarav-Ojashwi and Aashvi-Yogesh, they all are really happy and bright couples, they have family, partner, and then they can see them and this world, but here he is, he is all alone, there is only darkness in the world within him and around him.
