Neel's POV(Goa)

"Neel, come here. See what I have here." My cousin Aditya yelled from downstairs.

"What brother? You got some treasures early in the morning?" I asked him. It was too early for me to get up. I mean I was helping my best friend with his business till late night. And I was not willing to get up early in the morning.

"It's not just Treasure? It's my baby. I got new bike bro" he stated excitedly.

"Wow. Cool man. Just wait for me downstairs. I will get fresh and meet you later."I said and went in bathroom.

I can't wait till day when I will be eighteen. I will get my own bike. It's not like I don't ride bike. I do, but not in crowded place.

"Neel! Breakfast is ready. Don't take long bath .your breakfast will get cold." Mum yelled from kitchen.

Our mum is in kitchen most of the time. I don't know what they do in kitchen whole time. If she is not in kitchen then she is at neighbors gossiping or she is crying in front of Television watching some daily soap watch or may be arguing with my dad.

I smiled at how our mum behaves.

"Okay mum, I will eat it later. Vicky got a new bike. I'm going out."I said in hurry.

"Oh! Neel, you are becoming disobedient" Mum complained.

"Mum. I'm not kid anymore. I will eat later." I said and left the living room before mum stopped me.

My mouth adverted open when I saw my cousins neon green Yamaha FZ.

"Wow brother. This bike is awesome. Can I ride?"I asked permission for riding his new bike.

"Yes sure. You don't have to ask permission for riding my bike." My cousin was smiling at my eagerness.

Just the words left his mouth and I fled away with his bike.

"Hey, be slow with my baby" my brother yelled from behind.

"Okay, don't worry" I said loudly.

My friend Veer sat on the backseat

"It was very nice to ride with the new bike. I wish I was eighteen. I could have my own bike. It will be cool. Few months later I will be eighteen and I will get my own bike."I said while riding.

"Even I wish I will be eighteen soon." Veer said. He wanted a bike too. But both of us didn't get license as we were just seventeen.

"Right now just enjoy the ride." I told

"Yes, you are right. Just increase the speed."Veer asked me to increase the speed.

"No, I'm not going fast. I'm not going to break any rules. Now I'm riding without license is different thing, but no other law breaking."I said

"You are not saint, and definitely I know what you are." Veer rolled his eyes.

"See, you roll your eyes ... like girl" I smirked and earned a slap on my back.

My brother Aditya was waiting for his bike.

"How is the ride" his eyes were definitely asking me a good reply.

"Its good bro but I think you should customize it with power booster for better performance." Veer made a face as he knew this will be my obvious reply.

"Power boosters? Why? What does it do?" Aditya questioned me.

"If you want speed and efficiency then you will have to use power boosters. The Power Booster (PB) aligns the protons moving through the electrical system of a motorcycle. The creation of the PVA Field (Proton Vibration Alignment) by the Power Booster device aligns the entire electrical system. Data loss due to the instability of electrons is decreased significantly, and at the same time, the transmission quality of electrical and electronic signals is boosted. The motorcycle's overall performance is increased, especially in combination with one of the Engine Booster" I tried to explain him about the functioning.

"So... what will happen with that? I mean how will it modify present performance of my bike?" Aditya asked amazed.

"There are lots of benefits of fixing power boosters in bike, brother. It will reduce fuel consumption by ten to thirty percent, Increase horse power by thirteen to twenty five percent, Increase efficiency of ignition , Boost torque by five to fifteen percent, Boost throttle response time , Boost speed of acceleration, decrease toxic gas emission by fifteen to fifty percent , reduce noise levels." I kept on telling him about the benefits until I saw his blank face. Veer was smirking besides him. My poor brother's jaw was dropped.

"You have lot of knowledge. Will become Automobile engineer or what?"My brother asked. He thought I wanted to become automobile engineer.

"No. I want to become electronic engineer. I chose my college too. Just let us see how good my entrance test results are." I told Aditya.

"Really, you planned prior results? More contended boy. By the way, which college you Choose?"I knew this will be next question. I smiled and answered "SIET. Selaqui Academy. Selaqui Institute of Engineering And Technology."

"Wow, one of the topmost colleges in country? Cool brother" Aditya was too happy for my decision. What about you gummy bear" he asked Veer.

"Why the hell are you calling me gummy bear?" Veer asked him annoyed. Veer and Aditya always had mocking fight as Veer and I had good bonding and Aditya never got time to hang out with me.

"Yo chica, you are always glued to my brother. You little gummy bear" Aditya said in teasing tone.

Veer obviously got pissed off and was too irritated. "Shut of you mums baby. Go and hide into your mum's pallu" Aditya was his mum's pall and never left her side. This was the only reason Veer didn't like him very much .Now Aditya Was changed but veers never left a chance to tease him. I knew these two will start a never ending fight and I will be sandwiched.

"Veer, enough. We will go home. I didn't eat anything. I'm hungry now." I wanted to end their arguments before they cuss hell out of each other.

"See your brother. I know you are defending him." Veer said.

"I'm not defending him; just I want you guys to be good to each other."

"See, you don't like when I fight with Veer" said Aditya.

Now I knew that I should walk away because these two idiots will continue with never ending arguments.

"Mum, I'm back. Breakfast please .I'm too hungry."I said.

"I told you to eat breakfast before it gets cold. You are not getting new one. I'm busy. Either eat it cold or reheat it by yourself. Mum yelled from kitchen and I made face. I knew I had no option rather than eating it cold or reheating it by myself. I quickly got up to reheat the breakfast. Through living room I saw both Aditya and Veer, still arguing.

"Mum, you are not giving me breakfast. But you will miss it when I go far away from you." I just said. "I really don't like going into kitchen. It's too tough. I don't know how this ladies work in the kitchen." I mumbled to myself.

"Thank god. At least you know that kitchen work requires efforts" said mum

"Certainly mum, I know." I answered back.

"You want to go to Dehradun. Why? Aren't there colleges in Goa? Why you want to go so far? Who will take your care? It's not safe."Mum shared token of tear as usual. She was still babbling about how it was unsafe to be far from hometown. She is too protective.

"Oh my emotional mum, I'm grown up, I can take my care .I'm not leaving you permanently. I want to go far so that I can take best education."I tried to convince her that it's just for few years.

"I'm proud of you my son. Permission granted" dad heard our conversation and he was happy and fine with it.

"Now son and father are having alley against me" mum started again. Both of us plugged in headphones to avoid mums constant lectures.

Next day my results were declared and I got enough marks to get in through SIET.

Mum stopped arguments and was in fits of tears but gave me permission to go to Deharadun for further studies. I was so happy. It was happy overloading. But with that I started feeling like I was going to get missing parts of life. The feeling was Like I was about to get completed once I step in Dehradun.
