Dev

Dazzling rays passing through the white fabric hanging in my windows lighting up my room to the fullest. When it strikes my eyes, I blink my eyes several times to adjust to the highly illuminated room of brightness.

Yet again I woke up having same dream of carrying her in my arms , walking completely drenched in rain. The jingling sound her anklets make when her tinkling bells of her anklet strikes each and every rain drop as she wave her legs and pattering sound of rain surrounding us accompany us in the eternal journey.

"Dev" I snapped back to reality when my mom called from downstairs.

I got myself into office attire and walked towards the cupboard which was placed in the farthest corner of my room. I opened to grab a wodden box. Sliding it to open reveal the beautiful picture of her with alluring smile and black kohl eyes. Once again for billionth time I imaged our first meet in my mind.

Beautiful

After all success and struggles only thing I want is to hold her close to my heart.

Walking past the different rooms in my house , I ended in my mother's room. She welcomed me with her simple cotton saree with warming smile in her face.
A warm smile played in my face as I approached her and bent down to touch her feet ensuring her blessings as she caresses my hair.

We walked to the dinning room to find everyone gathered.

"Good morning" I spoke.
I received welcoming and happy wishes back from my mamaji , mamiji and Rhea. A lazy and slow wishes back from Nikki and Vicky, which earned a smack from respective mothers. Neha joined us a ten minutes gave just a small smile when we all looked over her simultaneously.

Breaking the news to my brother was easier one than to my parents. However, being an introvert and conserved person he always tried to support his extrovert , happy going sister all his life. As a matter of fact my parents never take him seriously. So it's all upto me.
Elena was sulked since we returned. No matter how much I try she is not ready to upon up.

"Break the ice!" My brother gave me a tap on my shoulder as I assembled everyone in hall to speak about something important.

I nodded at my brother. I sighed I took the call offer letter and pushed it towards my parents.

"We are happy to inform you that you got your admission for MBA in GOA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT... " My mother raised her voice in excitement reading the last lines of letter. I smiled in excitement but as soon as it replaced with worry towards their decision.

"Sona! Congrats . But when did you apply? I am so happy for you " My mother hugged me in happiness.

" Back in college ma!" I smiled at her and turned towards my baba.

"Baba?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah yeah! Congratulations" he said with small smile crossing his face.

" So can I join? " I asked looking at both of them.

" Sure why not? I am so happy you took your future seriously " my mother squealed in happiness. Baba remained silent.

" Baba? " I again asked him.

"Goa seems far " he said leaning forward.

"I can't able to live having you so far Sona." He replied with a sad voice.

" I know baba but someday I have to leave. " I sat near him taking his hands in mine squeezing his hands.

" But Sona , you know that I am afraid of.." he trailed off.

"I know baba. But at some point of life you have to trust me. You taught me your disciples of life. Do you think I will forget them. Trust me baba. I will not let you down. Just give me your permission, I will make you proud. Never ever you will regret this decision you make."
I gave him time to take his decision. After one hour of silence, he sighed and nodded in agreement.
I jumped in happiness and hugged my father.
He kissed me in cheeks and caressing my hair as I rested my head in his shoulder and dreamt about my upcoming exploration.

As I was happy about their acceptance, I share the news with Riya she wished me the best.

With all my happiness I forget about reason behind Elena's sulkness unless my brother approached me with her aggressive behaviour towards him.

What's upto this girl?
