As the clock struck 8, Abhi rushed down to the breakfast table. He woke up a little late, and that messed up his schedule. He preferred to have a lazy breakfast before school, but now he had to hurry. The gates of Maurya High closed sharp at 8.30. The school was 20 minutes away from home, he could forget about breakfast.
Abhi found his family at the table, and greeted everyone. Andy pulled a chair for him, as Arjun gave him a sharp reprimanding look. Abhi tried for a charming smile and hugged his Bhaiyu from the back.
"Sorry, Bhaiyu. Kal se jaldi uth jaoga. (I will wake up early from tomorrow.)"
"Sit and have breakfast." Arjun shook his head. He caught the boy working on the essay all night. He had to take the notebook away to make the boy stop. He meant it as a month-long activity to keep the boy occupied, but Abhi was determined to finish in a few days.
"No, Bahiyu I am getting late" Abhi shook his head and looked at Andy. "Aap school drop kar doge? (Will you drop me at the school?)"
Andy sighed, skipping meals was a big no at the Rajwanshi household. Abhi knew the rules, but was not smart enough to follow them.
"SIT AND FINISH YOUR BREAKFAST." Arjun's tone was so sharp that it made Abhi flinch. Ash got up and wrapped her arms around the boy. Arjun was not in a good mood, she could sense it, but she did not appreciate him taking it out on Abhi.
"He is getting late, Bhaiyu. Abhi's concern is genuine. He missed a week already, if he missed today that would add on to his backlog."
"Then he should have known to wake up in time. No skipping meals, Ash. You know..."
