Trip to love

Chapter 7 - We are our better halves

Chapter 7 - We are our better halves!

"I'll be there for you,
When the rain starts to pour...
I'll be there for youuu,
Like I've been there before....
I'll be there for youuuu,
Cause you're there for me too "

My phone belted out the lyrics of the theme song of the evergreen and ever entertaining tv series 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' . I groaned and reached my hand to shuffle through my bedside table to find my ringing phone and rubbed my eyes open with my other hand.

I grabbed the rectangular flat thing and brought it close to my eyes to see the same hazel eyes staring back at me but some wrinkle lines surrounding them.. recognizing the caller ID as my 'maa'... A smile made way to my chaped lips (due to my sleepyness ) as I dragged the green icon to the middle of the screen picking up my mommy's phone.

"Hey coochie poo! Good morning!" My mother's chirpy voice brought me out of the last night's slumber.

"Moommm ! Not again with the nicknames!" I groaned... Remebering my mother's silly habit of calling me and my twin little brothers with various cheesy annoying names... That are CUTE in her knowledge... Arghh..

"Baby ! Wake up ! You have an important day ahead !"

"Yess mom! I'm getting up ! I have an alarm clock that wakes me regularly ! Just so you know ! " i mumbled... You see I am not a morning person and the person who wakes me up earlier than my alarm has to face my wrath...

"Sugar now wake up ! Its time you wrap up your final things!" She knows me and my habits all too well to take my words to heart.

"Yaa maaa! Just five more minutes!" I replied groggily...

"Marshmellow ! Its your day to the trip ! Have you forgotten yet?!" Mommy exclaimed slightly irritated.

"Ohh yaaa ! One second one second! Today is the 14 th of December ! Oh no oh no ! I have to pack my things! I am only halfway through yet ! First let me wake up nikki and Jessie and ask for their help or shall I first take a shower so that we do not fight over 'who will bath last and exit the washroom after cleaning' or shall I ...." I rambled away recognizing the day.. the excitement seeping in...

"Mia ! Darling shut up please ! I will tell u what you have to do just control ur excitement or u may burst open!" My momma cut me off on my way through rambling... Saying the bitter words in the most polite tone possible... My mom has been the epitome of calmness and politeness since the incident, especially towards me !

"Now get up ! Grab ur half packed suitcase ! Fill in your toiletries after using them and dont forget your undies ! Now, for me , please wake up Jessie and Nikki and hand the phone to dear Jess!" Mom instructed.

I did and followed her instructions and woke up Jessie handing her the phone as started chatting to MY MOM animatedly...

Nikki was easy to wake up... So easy... Just after 7 minutes 49 seconds of shaking her shoulders, calling her name for 23 times and then completating for 3 minutes 17 seconds 44 microseconds 'whether to punch her or provide her a bed bath' I decided on the latter and grabbed the jug full of water from the bedside table in between her and Jess' bed and poured it cold on her forehead... Soo f**king easy... Please do note the sarcasm although you cannot even think of ignoring it... *wink*

After 4 long hours of packing , jumping on suitcases to get them closed , reopening them as we forgot something , rejumping , closing the suitcase containing both summer and warm winter clothes , preparing our backpacks , running back and forth in the dorms , grabbing things from here and there, meeting Mel on the way and dragging her along and finally exiting the dorms to clamber into the bus awaiting us ... We departed for THE AIRPORT .
