Parisa had a hectic day at school. Thankfully she did not had her coaching classes on the weekends. She had lots of homework and notes to complete. Cursing the system of education, she entered her house and walked to the kitchen. It was her daily routine to enter the kitchen and ask her mother about lunch. However, the sight of the dining table and no one in the kitchen shocked her to the core. She rushed to her mother and got a shocking news.
The lunch at the Joshis was truly an elaborated feast. With a plethora of scrumptious dishes arranged enticingly on the dining table and an alluring aroma of mouthwatering meals, the Joshi house radiated warmth of family after a long time.
Adhyayan was dead tired after traveling early in the morning and then, cooking a five-course lunch for his family but his happiness had no bounds. He was in his bedroom reminiscing his beautiful memories with a satisfactory smile plastered on his face when his sister barged into the room.
Throwing her arms onto him, a tear of happiness crept from her left eye as she said, “Bhaiya, thank you for coming back”.
Adhyayan just chuckled and caressed her hair engulfing her into a bone-crashing hug as he realized his ten year old sister had grown up into a beautiful sixteen year old elegant, young lady. He mumbled, “Thank you, Pari for sorting things but how you did that?”
Parisa narrated everything while Adhyayan gave her a tight-lipped smile wondering Anvesha, his brilliant girlfriend was one crazy fellow who barged into his life and gave him all the colors of joy he desired. He was a bit angry at his father who had hit his sister and he apologized profusely to his baby sister.
“If a slap can bring you back then I am ready to take another one”, Parisa said as she left the room leaving Adhyayan bewildered. He was truly blessed to have an amazing younger sister. Mentally promising himself to keep his family together, he smiled. He sighed as he realized their mother was calling him for lunch which made him wonder he had truly missed a lot in his life.
The Joshi family was gathered at the dining table for lip-smacking lunch and Mr. Hariprakash Joshi was on cloud nine. Keeping a straight face, the retired brigadier was trying to hide his smile as his heart was dancing in joy. Finally his son was back in his life.
“I am truly proud of you”, Mr. Hariprakash Joshi said as he took the bite of delicious butter chicken with stuffed naans as he continued to praise Adhyayan for his amazing cooking skills.
“You have truly got magic in your hands and you have honed your skills really well”, the old man said looking at his son while Adhyayan just smiled coyly.
The celebrity chef was indeed, on the top of the world as his father had complimented him. Adhyayan was used to getting compliments and appreciation but few sweet words from his father meant a lot to him. It was for the first time in his life, his father was genuinely appreciating his talent, Adhyayan wondered.
When everyone was savoring the dessert, Adhyayan took a deep breath as he spoke, “I am in love with someone”. Being a man of few words, he wanted to share the reason of joy in his life, his one and only girlfriend, Ms. Anvesha Chatterjee.
“Who is she, young man?” Mr. Hariprakash Joshi questioned his son looking at Adhyayan with the corner of his eye while Parisa just giggled as she gulped down a glass of water. She was excited to see the response of her parents.
Adhyayan casually answered, “You have met her”, but before he could speak further, his mother glared at him and chimed in angrily, “If it is Sarah then please pack your bags and go”.
Adhyayan was amused as he sighed and scrunched his nose in disgust. “No”, he mumbled as he took a deep breath and said, “With you all having met her already, I wanted to tell that she came home last month”.
His parents were aghast. With shock written on her face, his mother said in a no-nonsense tone, “Will you stop talking in riddles, for god’s sake?”
With a smile plastered on his face, Adhyayan took out his phone from the pocket of his sweatpants. Searching the gallery, Adhyayan found a picture of Anvesha, he had took when they were in Alwar. Dressed in a magenta Lukhnavi kurta, Anvesha was truly looking an angel in the backdrop of regal restaurant.
Scratching the back of his neck, he slid his phone to his mother on the dining table.
“I don’t recognize her and why will she come home?” Lakshmi said monotonously as she gave the phone to her husband while Adhyayan just smiled and Parisa giggled hard.
“What does she do?” Lakshmi bombarded with another question absentmindedly and this time, Adhyayan too broke into laughter with his sister. Both the siblings earned a glare from their mother.
Adhyayan’s father, being an ex-army officer had a sharp memory and good face recognition skills unlike his wife. Despite, Anvesha was hard to recognize in a casual attire as he and his wife were accustomed to see her in formals in the television, yet it was not impossible for him.
Looking at the picture, his face lost color as Mr. Hariprakash Joshi remembered the conversation on the dining table. Taking a deep breath, he spoke trying to find words. Despite the old man tried to keep up a confident face, he said in a grim tone, “Is she Ms. Chatterjee, the journalist? Now she is conducting debates, I think”.
Adhyayan nodded in affirmation and his father sighed regretting his words. His mother was aghast at the turn of events. Despite no exchange of words, Parisa understood but before she could say anything, her father closed his eyes in despair and said, “Adhyayan, I need to confess something”.
Adhyayan was shocked as his father narrated everything from Anvesha being cynophobic to their conversation over biryani. The celebrity chef flinched in disgust as his father reiterated the ‘singe-child remark’ but being a person closely connected to the world of media, he understood his father’s point of view.
For once he was truly broken as he realized his father did not consider him even a part of family all those years but then he apprehended that he too unknowingly did the same. He smiled as he realized Anvesha was truly was a gem after all, she tried to bring the family together even when his father made such a distasteful comment about him.
