I wheel my luggage trolley towards the exist Maharana Pratap Airport, Udaipur. I look around and see people everywhere. Dramatically, I take a deep breath in only to burst in fit of cough. I take a sip of water from the plastic bottle I had brought after landing.
That's the worst habit of mine, Impulse purchase. I have load shit of luggage. Undeniably, coming home after like forever means a lot of gifts for the family, and I had enough for my rather huge one.
I have never been to India, though my whole family including my parents and brothers live here. Apparently when I was born my parents got thousands of threats relating me. We are the Royal family of Rajasthan so our family does have a lot of enemies. So, my family thought it was good idea to send me to Russia as they had connection with Royals of Russia. I mean I am not complaining life in Russia is just wonderful. But I do miss my family a lot.
After I'd landed in Udaipur, I had an irresistible urge to spend Indian Rupees. So, I brought water bottle. I scrounged for change but found none. Out of desperation, I handed him a two-thousand rupee note only to be looked at like I'm stupid. Which no doubt I am, I agree. Then I ended up buying dozens of doughnuts, with water bottle and then cashier magically took out the change. He even had audacity to give me a smile.
"Lavanya" I hear a voice and I look around trying to find my elder brother, Aditya.
When I don't find anyone, I release a huff of frustration and just stand at my place waiting for my brother to come to me himself. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I feel his dominating presence even before I turn. Smiling ear to ear I turn towards him only to find thousands of body guards behind him and he standing in the middle with a cold face but I can see his eyes softening when our eyes meet.
"Bhaiiii" I squeal in excitement as I throw my arms around his neck.
He doesn't say anything or smile he just wraps his arms around me. "Well, your wish has been granted." He presses a quick kiss into my hair. I pull away with a smile, holding back comment on his mushiness.
He looks at the box of doughnuts on the trolley and then at me with disapproving narrowed eyes. I pass him a sheepish smile and raise my shoulder slightly.
He takes over the trolley, shaking his head in disbelief. One of the bodyguards take over the luggage trolley. "Looks like you built some muscles." I comment, poking his biceps.
He shrugs nonchalantly, but I don't miss the hint of smug grin on his face. "I always had." He says trying to sound humble but lacking and failing.
We reach to our car and the driver loads the luggage and the bodyguards goes to the other car. Me and bhai settles down on the back and the car starts. I look at him with smile, "So when am I meeting your fiancé?" I ask excitedly and he just looks away with sad look.
"Don't tell me you're not introducing us before wedding." I say in a disappointed voice.
"Wedding is in two days Lavi." He states like it means anything.
