A Story By Fate

1 APRIL

It was my birthday and a bad day at work. When I came home I was so frustrated that when I entered the house I yelled," I hate my fucking life and my boss is an asshole who likes to fuck with our life.". I didn't realise that my parents are home. I was supposed to meet them later on in the night at my sister's place but I didn't knew that they were here to pick me up. So my dad was in my room and my mother in the kitchen and hearing my voice they both came outside with terrified looks on the face.

Now it was a nightmare , because according to my parents I was still a nice kid who would not say a bad word ever and always loved everyone. They didn't knew that j had changed completely and only controled my anger in front of them.

So my dad took me outside and gave me a full speach on how to control my anger and why the thi g that I did was completely wrong and I'm not supposed to yell like this specially when I'm living with a girl. The speach continued for an hour.

Well all I wanted to do that day was to come back home listen to some old Mohommad Rafi songs with wisky and butter chicken. But instead I was forced to go to my sister's place. I told my dad that him and mom should go back to my sister's place and I'll rest for an hour or so and will be at her home before 12 but he didn't listen, so next thing I know I'm driving my dad's car with my dad sitting next to me and Anushka and my mother sitting in the back.

When we reached there place my sister Priya was already waiting there for me to come and when I came I was attacked by my nephews they both are very sweet but since they are identical twins I forget which one is the naughty Aryan and the cute Prem.
I entered the house with both of them running around me and there came my sister's husband Rahul, he is a great man and has known my sister since college and they both make a great couple.

Priya was kind of ignoring me that night, so I asked ," Rahul what's up with my fatty?" " Well Gautam sir your fatty has been waiting for you to come from morning and was trying to call you from night but you sir didn't pick it. You have gotta do something now , I don't want to be scolded at night." he said.

I went to my sister, " Fatty what happened , Aryan and Prem teasing you a lot?" I said, " They are very well behaved kids not like their uncle who just forgot their sister , I swear if it wasn't for Mom I would have killed you instead of making this dinner", she said and hit me hard on my back and pulled my ear .

" Sorry sorry , won't do that again . Was just busy with work now leave me it's hearting , everyone is watching please", I said in pain.
We hugged and the dinner started Aryan and Prem sitting on my lap and feeding me and we all laughing and enjoying the family time.

But my luck isn't that good this was followed by some awkward moments
Awkward moment 1 - Aryan and Prem said, "Mammi , why don't you feed Mammy" by "Mammi" they referred to Anushka and before I knew it for the rest for the night they were calling her that.

Awkward moment 2 - My mom started the marriage topic and started teasing me by saying when will I find a nice girl and marry her and give her grandkids. She even told Anushka that she is getting old and find a good gentleman and marry him. I felt wierd and wanted them to stop but Anushka was not affected and said that my mother should help her find a gentleman.

Awkward moment 3 - continuing the joke , Priya asked Anushka to marry me and told her that even though her little brother is a crack and a wierd person but we both would make a good couple and for some reason I just couldn't take it anymore.

I asked Priya and Anushka to come outside for a minute. " Priya before you say anything , Yes I'm single but there is a reason for that , I don't want a relationship right now. I'm not ready for that. I do like Anushka but stop irritating her she is not like us , she is a lesbian so stop embarassing her and don't bring the marriage topic now." I just went on and on without realising I was hurting Anushka.

Anushka slapped me and left with tears in her eyes , " Now are you happy", I shouted at Priya and ran after Anushka but before I could reach her she had already keft, I knew why she felt like that about her reality when her parents left her she started to think that she was wrong and it's her fault , she did end that fase but still couldn't be open about it because she always thought how others will react and she must have thought that my family is going to hate her after that. Just when she left Priya came I told her not to stop me I care for Anushka and I won't let her leave like this , Priya told me that she is not here to stop me but is here to tell me that if I come back without her she is going to kick me out and never talk to me again.

I went to the car started it and went to a wine shop bought a beer and then went to India gate , when Anushka was a kid her parents would take her and her sister to India gate every Saturday in the night to enjoy. Anushka would always go to India gate when she was very sad or was happy and would but a few beers and would walk 1 km from the parliament building to India gate.

When I reached there she was walking crying all alone , I took the beer and rushed towards her. By the time I reached her I was out of breath. I tried shouting her name but couldn't get a word out so I kept my hand on her arm which kind of frightened her but when she saw it was me she punched me really hard and that hurt a lot. I told her that I was sorry and was a total fool but I couldn't let her go she was family now , she hugged me with year in her eyes and I said, " Happy birthday Gautam."

We sat on the empty road and drank the beer , India gate was looking beautiful and but it was nothing in front of her beautiful eyes.

I promised her that from now on I would never tell anyone about her truth untill and unless she wanted me to and also I would write a shayari on those beautiful eyes every week. "Stop flirting with me and drink the beer fast we have to go back to your sisters place it's still your birthday"she said.
So the rest of the night was fun me , Anushka , Priya and Rahul drinking beer in dad's car and telling stories of our childhood.

That night have birth to a ritual , whenever me or Anushka wanted to share something important to each other we would call the other one say beer call and the we were supposed to meet exactly 2 hours after that in front of India gate with beer.
