AWKWARDNESS DOESN’T LEAVE MY SIDE
Akira’s POV
2 weeks have passed since my parents came to Delhi and met me. Since 2 weeks I have been in contact with them. In these 2 weeks I have finalized a place for my restaurant, I have even finalized my designs for it. I have even talked to my siblings. All the three are completely different from each other. I have video chatted with them on Skype.
Last night Pesto’s mother told me that she is going to organize a farewell party for me. Pesto, Armaan and Rohan still don’t know the truth. They don’t know I am leaving in 2 days. And right now when everyone is in front of me at the dining table of Khanna’s, expecting me to say something after Khanna uncle announced that tonight’s gathering was for a reason and I will tell them the reason. I know it’s time for me to tell them the truth which I have been avoiding since two weeks because I didn’t want to hurt them. They will be very hurt. I know telling them at this time will hurt them more but I couldn’t gather the courage to tell my best friends the truth of my life. The truth which involves me leaving them and moving to another city so soon. This according to them was never going to happen. I never told them I was planning to move to Mumbai since very long.
I am worried and scared for them. I don’t know how well they will take the news. But I do know I have to tell them.
“Oh God!!! Akira say something. Why is this gathering suddenly held? What is it? Why are you so quiet and lost?” asks Armaan, breaking my chain of thoughts.
Sighing heavily I started, “Guys there is something I need to tell you. I know this since two weeks and I hope you guys understand why I didn’t tell you three. You see…. I am moving out of here…. (Gasps from the three is heard as I say but I motion them to be quiet and they wait) The family I lived with all these years (I wince at the memory) is not my family…. They just brought me up. I met my real biological family two weeks back. They explained to me the situation and I understand why they left me with some other family to which I am not bothered anymore.” I stop and see the shocked faces of my besties with a hint of anger in it. “Guys it was very tough for me to but I had to take a decision. They live in Mumbai. You guys have been always there for me supported me in all my decisions but I was not able to tell you guys as I didn’t know how to say it. I didn’t know how you three will react, how I should say it? I was just scared that you guys may hate me for moving out. I am sorry guys I am really sorry. I didn’t want to hurt you.” I start sobbing and I wait for any of them to say something but they are just sitting there looking at me with anger, hurt and upset mixed expressions. The only feeling i have is awkwardness.
Rohan breaking the silence by asking the question I dreaded of, “When are you leaving?”
“I leave… I leave…. In t.. two.. days…” I tell them stuttering. At this Armaan and Pesto both get up and leave. They both leave the house. On the other hand Rohan stays. After a few minutes I start “Rohan I know I should have--”
He cuts me off “Yes, you should have told us before but I understand the reason it was a lot for you to take in too. I and Armaan don’t know what happened to the family you have lived with. You never told us but we waited for you to tell us. I suppose you still are not comfortable talking about it. But you did tell us this when you were ready to. It’s fine Akira. Give those two a little time they will come around. I am happy you told us. I have one question though, who is this family? I mean how you are so sure about them?” he asks me.
“They do not have a reason to lie to me. They are the King and Queen from the royal family. (Rohan’s eyes widens at this information.) Being born in royal family puts me in danger. They told me there are people out there who want to kill me as I am the only proper heir to the throne. My other siblings are either adopted or are surrogate children. They wanted to protect me that is the reason they left me with some other family.” I clear his questions.
Rohan doesn’t say anything for quite some time. “Should I start calling you Princess?” I wince at the mention of princess. For some reason it didn’t sound right when Rohan said it. It is so Awkward to hear the word knowing the term is used to address me.
“NO”
Two days later
“Akira the car is here.” shouts Mrs. Khanna from downstairs. Finally it is time to leave this house, my friends, this city.
Pesto and Armaan have still not talked to me. Rohan tries to lighten the mood between us four. But he fails. Armaan and Pesto have behaved as if I do not even exist in this world in the past 2 days. They talk to all the people around us but not me. Awkward was the only word to describe the situations. Infact Pesto even slept in her guest room to avoid me. the only word is AWKWARD. I made her sleep in her own house's guestroom.
As if they are signaling for me to leave soon and they don’t want me around anymore.
I never wanted this but I guess I lost my two best friends.
Checking all my belongings packed in the two big suitcases for the last time I take them downstairs.
As I step on the ground floor I observed the room for the last time. Mr. and Mrs. Khanna were there waiting for me. Rohan also stood at one side of the room with his arms folded. And there was no sign of Armaan and Pesto.
I wanted to cry very hard but I had to control myself. I said my goodbyes to Mr. and Mrs. Khanna again awkwardness was there in our greetings. I walk to the car outside the house and Rohan accompanied me without saying a word.
At the door of the car I turned around one final time to see the place I lived for the past few weeks and have known the people living in it since forever.
I wanted to see Armaan and Pesto very badly but I guess it is my punishment for not telling them the truth in time.
“Don’t worry. They are family. They will come around” Rohan said to me knowing about hte awkward situation we are in. I sighed, “I guess you are right but do tell them that I Love them no matter what. And I will wait for them to forgive me.” I waved Rohan good bye and left in the car towards the airport.
I feel like reaching Mumbai quickly. Suddenly some energy has entered me. I am feeling like there is someone waiting for me.
Something is pulling me towards Mumbai. Like there is some connection. I pray to God all goes well.
As I reach my apartment in Mumbai where my whole family was waiting for me thw awkward feeling comes hawkingly back to me. It was awkward with my siblings the most. We did not interact much to call us getting along siblings but we interacted a little that was awkward too....
In the past few days Awkwardness has never left me side.
My family helps me settle down and leave for me to rest.
Tomorrow i will actually visit my restaurant site. It will take another month to complete. I am going to supervise the work from now onwards. Dad has made arrangements for me to reach there and take over. His manager will be there to assist me.
Tomorrow I am starting a new chapter of my life. I hope my previous relations mend up soon.
