The Unwanted Love

Trikshan's Dad

''triky_shines09 sent you a follow request''

I got a notification of a strange person with a weird username sending me a follow request in Instagram...I thought for a while, should I accept it? The username sounds familiar to Trikshan's name...let it be, let me just accept it and follow him/her back! I did what I thought, and went back to my cozy bedroom and laid down looking at the beautiful sky from my window when I got another notification, I took my phone on my hand, still laying down,

''triky_shines09 accepted your request''

Just after that, I started to get many notifications, I checked again being annoyed by the sound of it, ''Oh god! I wanted to see the sky peacefully, now who's this person liking my stories and posts again and again! Lord! I wish I never posted anything!'' I said to myself getting a little more annoyed.

I checked that person's profile, there was only two pictures, one was a picture of an old vintage camera placed on a mattress, and another was a cup of coffee. ''Wow, this person doesn't even have a picture of himself/herself?'' I said to myself again, this time, in a very sarcastic tone.

I checked that person's profile once more, I saw he has no followers, and he has just joined Instagram a few days back, this seemed suspicious to me, why a person who joined few days ago wants to follow me? I thought again, maybe I'm just overthinking more than usual, I'm already very tired and exhausted after that 6hours of school, I decided to take a small nap.

I woke up after 5 hours, ''Wait- What? Didn't I decide to take a SMALL nap?! It's already evening?! But why mom didn't call me till now? Where is she?'' I panicked as I can't hide her from my eyes even for a second. I checked her everywhere, but didn't find her, after 10-15 mins, I saw her walking with a middle-aged man, who had big glasses on his eyes, he wore a blue coat, his hair almost grey..I asked mom, ''Mami, who's he?'' My mom answered ''I went for shopping and saw him there, he's one of my old school friends...you know what? His son recently joined your school...!'' I was dumbfounded and shocked, I asked that middle-aged man ''Uncle, if you don't mind, what's your son's name?'' The man answered with a smile ''It's Trikshan, you might know him'' His name surprised me more, HE'S TRIKSHAN'S DAD?! WHAT IS HE DOING HERE? I tried to calm myself down and replied him in a polite way again ''Yes, I know him...he's in my class'' I thought, so Trikshan's dad is mami's old school friend?! How come Trikshan and his dad is so different from each other? Strange!

I saw Trikshan coming with 5-6 shopping bags, I thought again, Oh, he's here too?! He came and stood between my mom and his dad and said with blank expression ''Oh, Diva. You here? Hi, and yeah, bye, too'' He handed my mom three bags and his dad two bags and didn't wait a second, he started working while holding his on one of his hands. I was standing there dumbfounded by his weirdness when his dad said ''Don't you worry, child, he is always like this, he has changed a lot after what has happened between me and J.....I mean my wife'' I agreed by nodding my head unaware of what happened between him and his wife, I just know they fight frequently, as said by Trikshan, the day he was late (chapter- Why me?) I didn't say more, and after some more minutes my mom and me came back to our house...but I found all these quite weird and strange...That day, I thought a lot, but I never was able to solve this mysterious puzzle...I don't know why, after Trikshan came into my life, everything became so mysterious, nothing seemed normal. I said to myself in an annoyed tone ''Trikshan is weird, I'm weird, Mami's weird, Trikshan's dad is weird, everything is so weird, even the follow request was weird!'' I let out a sigh talking to myself again ''God knows, what'll happen!''
