From Pune Sector

Chapter 1||"Pune kicked you out?"

Jennifer~

"Argh, Mumbai and its stupid heat," I mumbled to myself as I shielded my eyes from the blazing sun while searching for my brother. How sweet of him to come pick me up from the airport.

I almost laughed at myself. I bet my ass that mom pushed him out of the house.

Right when I whipped out my phone to dial his number, my eyes fell on him.

My brother was standing right next to him but of course he is the first one I notice.

If they'd come to pick me up, they sure were not showing it as both their heads were turned in the opposite direction of the exit gates. I craned my neck to see what they were looking at.

A group of air hostesses.

Well, of course.

I rolled my eyes before a smirk came upon my face. I quickly picked up my bags and walked the other way out. The blind fools hadn't seen me yet.

I slowly crept behind them and smacked them right on the head with my bags.

Both of them jerked forward as they screamed like little girls. Luckily, they caught themselves on time.

Or on better thought, unluckily they caught themselves on time.

"What the fuc-"

"The hell-"

I laughed at their angry faces. "So glad to see you both too," I said with a sweet smile plastered on my face.

"This is why I didn't want to come," Soham groaned as he massaged his head.

"We didn't have a choice, remember?" Jeremy replied as he rubbed his head, too.

Do I feel guilty? Nah, not so much.

"Well, excuse me but no one asked you to come pick me up. I would have caught a rickshaw and come home perfectly fine. Alone."

"Yeah but in case you've forgotten, you've got a perfectly fine Indian mother," Jeremy counteracted.

I sighed.

"Both of you'll had nothing else to do?" I asked.

"Oh you know Jen, my schedule for the day was to get up at this ungodly hour-

"Its past noon," I corrected Soham.

"during my summer holidays, drive up to the airport with horns and cuss words breathing down my neck because your brother doesn't know how to drive-"

"Its not my fault! The second-hand jeep stops whenever it pleases to-"

"Get pushed around in this crowd because some celebrity had come to the airport and then get hit by your bags. Thank you!" he finished with an exaggerated chuckle.

"Looks like you had a great day. You're more than welcome," I said back.

He narrowed his eyes at me before mumbling under his breath, "I knew the moment she'd come back, my days were doomed."

I ignored the pang of hurt I felt along with his words.

"Lets go before there is bloodshed at the airport," Jeremy said, while picking up one of my bags and heading towards the parking.

I marched behind him not bothering to see whether Soham came along or not.

I couldn't care less.

"Guys, I need to pee," Jeremy announced, after a half an hour hunt for his car because the two of them had forgotten where they'd parked.

Just when he left, Soham tried opening the car door.
