Bon Voyage

1. Painful Packing

"Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves" - Euripides

#########

I groaned as I started packing my luggage, packing is the worst part of a trip, besides the long hours of travelling of course. I wish I could skip the travelling part and get to the place instantly.

You're wishing list is already full, stop wishing and start working maybe a little more.

'Meera have you seen my sunglasses?' My annoying brother yelled.

'Neel can you be a little more specific, you have hundreds of pair of shades just lying around, you can't just expect me to instantly know which one you are talking about' I demanded.

'Ya, I know but they were the new ones I just got yesterday' he yelled once again.

'Stop yelling you moron, get your ass upstairs and be a little more specific' I shouted back.

'Okay, I'll come upstairs madam' he huffed.

Don't get me wrong I love my brother, I really do but he can be a little frustrating sometimes, no I take that back he is frustrating all the time. Neel enters my room all of a sudden and gasps.

'Sis what in the world have you done to your room' He struggles to find his way to my bed. 'I can't even find your bed in this tower of clothes' he complains.

'Stop commenting on my room, okay? Tell me about the stupid shades of yours and get out of here' I spoke agitated.

'Okay! Okay! Calm down' he chuckles under his breath.

'And stop chuckling'

Okay I know I get annoyed easily, it is not entirely my brother's fault. It is 99% his fault and the other 1% mine. Oops

You know it doesn't work like that!

Okay stop now brain! please, let me concentrate and shut off for a little while. Oh no not completely, I still need to pack.

Urghhhhhh what is happening to me? I am going mental.

'Di why are you pushing out all your hair?'

Finally I notice Neel standing in the corner with his shades in his hand looking at me weirdly.

He's grown tall I think. Traitor. I remember the last time we measured our heights he was almost 3 inches shorter than me and now he literally towers over me. I tell you boys growing mechanism is queer.

Queer? From when is your vocabulary so advanced?

I will kill you brain.

But I can't technically do that right? Unless I want to kill myself.

Smart girl.

Anyways he's not only grown tall but his voice changed all of a sudden. I mean what I say? Think? Whatever.

What I mean is...

Yes? Continue.

Oh why? thank you brain. You're so kind. Coming to my point, I remember one day my family were eating breakfast as usual and my brother comes down and greets us all....

Well mannered boy, your brother. Do you ever do that?

You asshole, yes I don't greet. Okay I am too grumpy to do that. I am not a morning person

Well...

Thanks for distracting me.

So as I was telling, I didn't recognize his voice and thought someone broke into our house and started screaming and then what happened next you can imagine.

Even if you can't It was nothing big. So don't worry.

That was the day my brother became a new person. Not literally but you know what I mean.

Ya, quite a story right?

Thud.

A pillow is thrown at me and it pulls me out of my train of uncanny thoughts. See brain more synonyms of weird.

'What the hell?'

'Di you've been staring at me for like almost 500 years now. Why are you acting like this today?'

'Like what?' I ask

'Like, I don't know! You know like when you get lost in your la la land'

'Oh! Nothing big I was just observing your physical appearance'

My brother makes a weird face at me and says 'Like that's not strange at all'

'Whatever! And also you have crossed your time limit of our VISIT MY ROOM rule, so get out'

'Ya ya I know the rule'

I see my luggage and think how I am going to manage all this?

Not just the luggage but also this trip with my friends and my life after that.

Hey guys! so how is it so far?

I know i am not a professional writer but i enjoy it so here it is a little part of my imaginative brain or i like to think so. ;)

And also this first chapter was kinda the introduction to Meera and her brain. hehe

Oh! and on a scale from 1 to 10 how much do you like Neel?😎 I think he is more mature than Meera. What do you think?

The coming chapters will include more of their description and their fun relationship as siblings.

I will try to update as soon as i can.💜

Yours truly,

Palak :)
