SANYUKTA POV

When you really want that time should move fast like a cheetah that time it moved like turtle. And same thing happening with me. From the last week after my holidays got approved the time is moving like turtle no it is moving like bullock cart. Its so frustrating. 

If time was a person I will definitely hang him for moving so slow. I chuckled. What happening to my mind. Killing people who always think of peace is thinking of killing my sub conscious said sarcastically.  I rolled my eyes. Last time I think of killing was Parth coz he is not giving me alone time with my love . He was doing so many things with purposefully and that time I thought of killing him but when law allow. But he is sweet and fun loving person coz of him I and Randhir together so I can forgive him. I again look at my watch its only 1.5 hrs passed after I left my AFS. I look outside and its freezing. Roads are empty and only few people are there. I settled back with my position and threw my head back and closed my eyes. 

Last two months, was so excited for me. As I tested new jet plane YF-200 which our govt bought from USA. It is very good jet plane. As we can fly in night. The technology they used was so powerful and the most important things it doesn't carry missiles rather it has guns in it with 10k bullets and in a minute it can fire near about 600. Also it can fly at an altitude of 44000 ft. 

My car stopped suddenly. I look at the front its toll point. I saw my watch again and it's another an hour journey .  I adjust my jacket near me and waited for passing the toll. A smile comes as I passed the toll and I enter in Delhi my home town. I slide the window glass and cold breeze hits me. But it not so chill as in UP. Sun rise and I close my eyes to inhales the freshness of air. I close the window and just start counting to reach home ASAP.

~~~~~~~~~~~

My taxi stopped again and I find relief. As I know I m home.

Driver: ma'am aapki place aa gayi h.

I watch outside the window for my home but my home is not here . Did he come at the right place.

I: sayad aap galat jagah aa gaye h?

Driver look at the rear mirror and answered.

Driver: no ma'am aapne jo place batayi thi woh hi exact place h.

I signed and paid him. I come out the car and he immediately left. Again, I start looking around for my home. The neighborhood look same and the surrounding but not the place where my home was.  

Instead there is home which is look like a glass building with white paint on the walls

Instead there is home which is look like a glass building with white paint on the walls. I was so mesmerized with the look of house.  Its look so beautiful and the garden in front of it. It just adding the beauty of house. But the garden looks familiar to me. There is swing on the left side of the garden which also look familiar to me coz the same I bought last time when I was home. I insisted to bought this swing. But when this home doesn't look like my home so why these things look familiar to me. 

I dreamily steps toward it. I stopped in front of the door. On the side wall there is name plate with " The Aggarwal's" with bold and italics.  I m also Aggarwal but its not my home. My home painted with orange but the swing and garden looks so familiar. I take a deep breathe and pressed the door bell and waited to open.

Door opened by a girl. I glance at her from head to toe. She is wearing a cream color sweater and with her face she look like she is in mid- twenties. I mentally shake myself and

I: Jii.. woh...

But she cuts me.

Girl: aap Sanyukta Di h na ?

I nods but as well as confuse how she know my name and who is she ?

I: kya m aapko jaanti hu ?

She shake her head in no with a wide smile.

Girl: but m aapko jaanti hu.. aap under aaiye...

She come forward to take my luggage but I stand in front of her.

I: but yeh mera ghar ni h or m aapko ni jaanti.

She smiles.

Girl: yeh aapki ka ghar h or mera naam Avni h mein aunty ki caretaker hu. I mean aapki maa ki care taker.

Ohh.. Maa told me about her but I don't know she look like a mid-twenty girl. As whenever Maa told me about her I give a deaf ear and always thought she is old lady but she is so young.

Avni: chale ?

I composed myself and enter the house. Is it really my home? I start looking around everything so changed. An opened kitchen with stools instead of chairs. On the side there is  hall where sunlight is falling directly into it and lightening the hall as well as kitchen. I look at the hall wall and my eyes stopped as there is photo frame with our recent picture. It was our selfie which Parth clicked on my day. Everyone smiled faces.

Avni: yeh lijye.

She handed me a glass of warm water. I drink it slowly and observing the my home. They reconstruct it instead of renovating it.

Avni: mein aapke bags room m rkh deti hu aap fresh ho jaiye.

I nods and give back my half empty glass of water. She turn to go into the kitchen and I follow her. Everything is changed. The kitchen have modern look with black marble slab in the middle. The cabinets with slider doors of glasses.

Avni: so kaisa laga ?

I looked at her she is still smiling. I give her tight smile too.

I: acha hai bahut acha... but yeh to renovate hona tha na ?

Avni: jii but Randhir Bhaiya ise reconstruct karaya.

Ohh its his idea of reconstruction and Maa didn't feel to told me about this. One secs where is Maa. Till the time i m here she is no where.

I: avni maa kaha h ?

Avni: woh restaurant gayi h.

Maa and restaurant. I thinks its my turn to got all surprises as all the time I tried to give them.

I: restaurant ? kon s ?

Avni: woh bhaiya k...

I: okay. Kab tk aayegi ?

Avni: unhone kaha tha 30 mins m aa jayegi...

She turned to face the main door and there is watch hanging above the door. 

Avni: aab tk to aa jana chaiye tha.

I just hummed and come out of the kitchen. I watched as there is staircase and followed by a passage. I keenly watching everything like a new baby born did. My mouth opened when I looked at the staircase wall. There were photos of us of our vacations. With each step of stair photo frames are rising. I climbed on the first step and looked the first frame. Its our first vacation with him.  I start  counting the frames they were around 20 photo frames hanging on the wall. Now, I should seriously think that it is my home . Its look like my dream home which come into the reality. 

Avni: aapka room niche hai. 

I stopped at my place and noticed I have come up with counting and re-living my vacations memories. I got down and looked at the direction where she pointing it. She is pointing inside the passage and start walking inside the passage.
