The hot gaze of the sun galls on my face, waking me up from the horrific dream I dreamt last night. Today is going to be a really long and hot day. I get up lazily from my bed to the bathroom, it's Sunday! What do you expect?
I come out of the washroom, still sleepy when I hear my mom shout for me. She can be annoying when she wants something.
"BEEETTHHHHHH".
"aayi,Maa"..uff! My mom brings out the worse in me.
Reaching downstairs, I see there are a couple of my mothers friends sitting in our living room. I have built an extreme dislike for these ladies through the course of time, for the unwanted and stupid comments about my life and how I should live it.
"Beth, darling young girls like you aren't supposed to wake up so late, you know", commented aunty A. I was about to reply when aunty B commented about Indian girls being all shy and cultural and religious getting up early in the morning and doing their household chores. What I learned from these aunties is that never tell them anytime,for they are like animals in the loose. I smile and leave for the kitchen.
When I return I meet this,very gorgeous, beautiful, smart middle aged woman smiling at me and talking to my mother. My mother tells something to her, her eyes widens and she comes to give me a hug. I return a very awkward hug.
"Beth,This is Anita, my childhood friend. She lives here along with her son, shifted a few days back. Tell her namaste! ". I smile and try to recall the name I have just heard. As ismf sensing my dilemma she says, I'm Avanti Harrison if you were just wondering my surname. My mind snaps as I realize her to be Richard's mother. I run upstairs and close the door.
What the fuck is happening? And what the fuck did I just do.
