The Things That I Left Behind..

Chapter-83

"It's okay Saira! It's cool. I am not feeling awkward."
Susan's words don't make me calm as I hide my face in my palms.
We walk out of the flight and I am instantly hit with the heat of the Mumbai.
I can't help but smile.
Susan glances around and takes a photo of the surrounding. She takes a tissue to wipe her sweat before saying,"Damn,this is hotter than I thought."
I smirk at her as I say,"Welcome to Mumbai!"
She shoves me before we walk towards clearing the procedures. Susan goes separate way as she has to go for immigration while I wait outside.
After an hour or so,she finally arrives while drinking ice tea.
We exit together and I as I take my phone out to call,I see Saransh already shout,"Sara!"
I look at him and instantly run towards him.
I hug him tightly while he pats my back.
I missed my brother so much!
He asks me,"Are you okay?"
I nod as I stop myself from tearing. He wipes a tear or two of mine and his before he says,"Sara,I am your brother. Please tell me if something has happened."
I look at him blankly before I say,"Can we talk this later? My friend is waiting."
He gives a nod and follows me.
Susan stands awkwardly before she brights up as I come back.
She frowns a bit at my crying state. I instantly say,"Saransh,meet Susan. Susan, meet my brother Saransh."
Both of them stare at each other weirdly before they awkwardly shake hands.
I barely hear them say 'hi'.
Weirdos.
We adjust our luggage in car and this time,it isn't easy to escape the airport as Media is following our car.
I look a bit confused as I ask,"Did we commit a crime?"
Saransh looks at me and says,"Your common sense is so stupid that it is itself a crime."
He laughs loudly at it while Susan giggles.
I glare pointedly at both before retorting,"My dear brother, Atleast I have a common sense. You seem to be non sense."
His mouth drops while Susan giggles again. Saransh pouts before saying,"They are following us because our company is leading in market and I have suddenly emerged a poster boy for picking up the 'shambles of the company'. Can you  believe this stupid people? They want to know if I have a girlfriend!"
I ask immediately,"Do you?"
He shakes his head and speaks,"I literally am dating my work. There is non existent love life for me."
I try to console him by saying,"My poor brother." He literally takes the bait as he nods before I hit him on the head.
He winches and shoots a glare.
The rest of the ride continue with me and Saransh bickering while Susan giggling and watching on.

During Night

S U S A N

The Oberoi family has been nothing but warm. Sanjana aunty gave me a big hug before welcoming me.
I guess Sara's family still don't know a thing of what has happened in London.
When I asked Sara,she told me that she will tell them tomorrow.
I understand how stressful this whole ordeal is for her.
Anyways,I am out right now in the Dining hall,studying and assessing the final outputs I want to apply for Sara's restaurant. As I sip the coffee, I hear the door open.
I glance as I see Saransh enter the room.
He looks and his gaze locks at me.
He gives a small smile as he says,"Hi Susan."
I nod at him with a smile. My eyes follow his routine as he walks to his room,keeps his bag and returns to kitchen.
He quietly fills his glass with water and goes out to stand near the window.
It feels as if he is contemplating a lot of things as he drinks.
He finally sighs and goes to look in the fridge for food.
He somehow notices me watching and I quickly go back to my work.
We don't speak anything.
He eats his food cold and walks in his dad's room. I assume he likes to spend his sometime with dad.
He then looks at his sister and mother and once assured,he tiredly drags himself to his room.
As he goes,he says,"Goodnight Susan."
I smile as I say,"Goodnight Saransh."
