Viren POV

My plane lands in Delhi around 10 in the morning. Where Raghu chacha(uncle) our driver from way long back is waiting for me.

" How are you son? how was your flight? " he asks me. Now, what can I say about traveling for 15 hours in my jet? It was a fine experience.

"It was fine chacha. How are you and how's everyone at home? " I ask walking towards the car parked a few steps ahead.

"Everything is fine beta(son)," he responds while opening the backdoor for me.

I nod back and sit in the car, Ride to the home is filled with small talks between us.

But mostly I attend to my calls throughout the ride.

Upon reaching home I'm welcomed by each member of my family standing in the front yard.

Just as I exit the car, My mother is the first one to hug me with glossy eyes. I snuggle her to me and let her shed some tears. When minutes pass, my dad walks forward and tugs her towards him while passing me a smile and saying welcome home.

Next comes my two aunts, both hug me and walk back.

my uncles are the cool ones and just waved from their spot.

"Viren it's so good to see you, my son. My eyes were yearning to see you." mom confesses emotionally.

I walk forward and take her in my arms.''Now I'm here mom and I did come last year for princess's b'day party though." I exclaim.

"Ya, but it was for just two days!" she whispers while weeping.

I chuckle hearing her and place a kiss on her temple.

After making mum positive that I'm not going anywhere, she with all the other elders walks inside the house. Then My brothers attack me with bro hugs, after so many years it feels like I'm home with people who love me, care for me. It makes me smile a little.

After snuggling my sister Riya, I stride directly to my room to fresh n up. When I enter my room the feeling of nostalgia hit me. Thinking about all those memories with my brothers and sisters makes me smile because everything is the same as I have left it.

After a shower, I get dressed casually in a white polo t-shirt and black jeans. Entering my room I see my brothers, Aarhan and Shaurya Sitting on my bed with a massive grin resting on their ugly faces.
I lift my brow inferring 'what's the matter?'

Arhaan being the jolliest person announced " Yo bro how was NY? Anything fascinating? " before I could reply, Shaurya interject "seriously we're talking about Viren bhai, he and fun are two different things!" and both of them laugh hard.

I flip them and exit my room to go to the lounge room.
Before I could enter the room something slams into my legs and caused me to lose my balance and collapse.

Before I can react I'm attacked with sloppy kisses, "Uncle V, I missed you" and there is my princess.

My sole reason for happiness. She is the only girl whom I can't refuse for anything.

"Hi princess, how are you? " I ask while crouching down in front of her. But what she does next amuse me, She stands up and arch her hips and plops her hands on them posing like a mother, and glare at me. " I'm not talking to you. You left me to go to Ne...New fork for who? work... I'm angry with you. No talk to me. " she let out as if scolding me in her broken words and run to her mother.

"It's New York love !" Di correct her. All the while my family is grinning at us. I walk to my sister and hug her.

" How are you Di (sister)? "

"I'm good, you tell? Already missing New York?" she asks with a smile.

" New York was boring because I didn't have you there," I reply taking a seat beside Lakshay bhai, My brother-in-law.

"You should have taken her with you, this way I could live a little" he responded from beside me.

"So you can't live with me? " Di demands.

"My love I was just kidding," he replies nervously causing everyone to laugh out loud. I shake my head at their behavior and smile internally because I missed these banters when I was alone.

Everybody initiates communicating among themselves and I'm more than happy because now I don't have to answer them.

I'm talking to Lakshay Bhai when Pari reached out to him and ask him not to talk to me. "Papa don't talk to V he is bad".

My brother-in-law laughs and says "You are right my love. let's not talk to him."

Standing up, I grab Pari from his arms and toss her in the air and then catch her. She is giggling and laughing, the whole room resonates with her laughter. It is so cute.

" Princess I'm sorry. Please forgive me," I say in between tossing and catching her.

"HAhaha.....O...OKAYYYYY!!!!" she lets out laughing hysterically.

" I love you, princess ". I kiss her on her cheek and put her down. She jogs back to her mother with a huge grin.

I sit back and look around to see everyone talking and devouring snacks. I missed their laughter, jokes, and everything I guess because being all alone in NY made me realize the importance of a family.

I hear my phone ping and see an email from the office. I was about to reply to the mail when Arhaan snatches it from my hand and says " bro that's it! You're home after such a long time and then also you're working? "

I raise my hands in the air as if surrendering. Seeing this everybody laughs.

My cousins Maira, Alam, Abhi, Riya, and Sana are also present.
Maira and Alam are children of my aunt Reshma and Sana and Riya are my Aunt Palak's children.
Abhi is Riya's fiance.

We were all joking and catching up on each other's life when we are called for dinner.

At the dinner table, Pallavi Di informed everybody about Pari's birthday party two days later. She informed us about the event planners that she hired." I think you should have hired more experienced people to plan your party. Not some low-class event planners. Who use pieces of equipment so cheap that could tarnish our reputation. "I said feeling apprehensive.

"They are good people Viren, don't talk about somebody like this. And for your information, I have attended one of their events and it was more classy than your high-budget event planners. And most importantly they are talented and have fresh ideas."Di retort angrily.

" Whatever I just want princess's b'day to be special".Everybody notices the mood change and instantly changed the topic.

For the rest of the evening, I eat my dinner silently and depart to my room early because I'm feeling tired.

Just as my head touches the pillow, I'm sound asleep.
