The Boundless Bond

Part 1

Current :
Ashwin is now settled in Australia doing the job that he loves to the core, an aeronautical engineer. It was his break phase and he returned back to India to spend time with his mum, his sister and brother in law. Ashwin was returning back to India after nearly 8 years' time, everyone at his home are excited to welcome him back.
Ashwin got landed safely and he called his sister, Swetha.

Ashwin : Ka, I've landed safely. Will be reaching home in an hour time.
Swetha : alright da, everyone's waiting for your arrival.
Ashwin : (smiles) and hung the phone.

Swetha informed everyone about Ashwin's arrival which will be in an hour time. Everyone gathered up including Ashwin's close relatives.
Before reaching his own home, Ashwin went by to his aunt's house, the only aunt that Ashwin loves so much. He dropped by at her home to visit his aunt.

Ashwin : (rang the house bell)

Ashwin's Aunt went and checked out who's ringing the door bell and she was shocked for a moment thinking is this really Ashwin?

Ashwin's Aunt : Ashwin?
Ashwin : yes, athai it's me. May I?
Ashwin's Aunt : c'mon Ashu, you don't have to say so! (she welcomed him home)

Ashwin and his aunt was having a long talk about everything that's been happening and while they were talking Ashwin had to be reminded bout his cousin, Ashima by his aunt.

Ashwin's Aunt : Ashima just went back to France actually, last Sunday. She was saying she would be back sometime soon which we never know when..

That's all his aunt said and Ashwin's thought was all over Ashima. He started thinking of the old memories. Ashwin's aunt could notice the change in Ashwin so she tried diverting him.

Ashwin's Aunt : Alright Ashu, go to your home first. Everyone must be waiting for you.

Ashwin hugged his aunt and told her : 'My lunch is here today'
Ashwin's aunt just smiled.

While on the way back to home, all Ashwin could do was getting back to all the old memories. Each moment he got through it, his heart was breaking with an unexplainable feel.
