Fury of love

CHAPTER -2(GLIMPSES OF SURANA FAMILY)

The early morning mist clung to the narrow streets of London, softening the edges of the city as the sun slowly fought its way through the overcast sky. The steady hum of life had already begun, with the rhythmic tapping of shoes on pavement and the distant chime of Big Ben marking the start of another day.

In the heart of the city, tucked away from the bustling crowds, a man stood by the window of his apartment, sipping a cup of black coffee. The view from his flat overlooked the Thames, where boats drifted lazily along the river, and beyond that, the grandeur of the city unfolded in shades of gray and silver.

Samar Surana, with his dark hair slightly tousled and his tailored suit hanging crisply on his frame, exuded an air of quiet confidence. His sharp eyes scanned the streets below as he mentally prepared for the day ahead. He was a man of precision, his life meticulously organized, but today, something felt different.

The soft chime of his phone pulled him from his thoughts. A message. He glanced at it briefly, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Another day, another deal to close. But little did he know, this day would set him on a path that would change everything.

Samar had just settled into his chair, preparing for the day's meetings, when his phone buzzed on the desk. Glancing at the screen, he saw his mother's name appear on a video call. A rare, warm smile crossed his face as he swiped to answer.

The screen flickered to life, revealing his mother's kind face, her usual warmth radiating through the camera. "Samar, beta! Kaisa hai mera bacha ?"

"Maa!" Nathaniel greeted her with a grin. "main theek hu. What's up? You rarely video call me."

Before his mother could respond, the camera panned out to reveal the rest of the family gathered around. His father sat in his usual chair, looking over his glasses with a gentle nod. His sisters waved enthusiastically, while Chachu and Chachi stood in the background, beaming. His brother and bhabhi squeezed into the frame with his two nephews, who were already bickering over something.

Samar chuckled at the chaotic yet familiar scene. "Looks like a full house today!"

His mother's voice pulled him back to the conversation. "Beta, we've all been talking, and we think it's time you come back to Udaipur. It's been too long since the whole family was together. What do you say?"

Samar leaned back in his chair, the sounds of his family filling the room. Despite the distance, despite the life he had built in London, the pull of home was undeniable.

"I'll think about it, Mom. It does sound tempting."

Samar's mother raised an eyebrow, clearly not satisfied with his vague response. "Beta, no 'thinking about it.' We want you home. You've been away for too long."

One of his sisters, Saarika, leaned in closer to the camera. "Bhai, we miss you. The house isn't the same without you."

His younger sister, Nisha, chimed in. "Plus, badi ma and bade papa's anniversary is coming up. You can't miss it!"

Samar smiled at their persistence. "I miss you all too. But you know work keeps me busy."

"Work will always be there," his father finally spoke, his voice calm but firm. "Family is more important. Udaipur is where you belong, son."

Chachu added with a hearty laugh, "And don't forget, we need someone to keep these boys in line." He gestured at and Kush, who were now playfully wrestling in the background.

Samar couldn't help but laugh at the scene. His brother, Abhay, leaned into the camera and smirked. "Come on, Samar. You know you want to. When was the last time you spent more than a week at home?"
