Feels like Home
Natalie's POV
"Harry ?????"
"Yes, love."
"Love???"
"Thats how I talk to all my friends remember?"
"Yeah! Um right. I was just curious to know whether if you were free this afternoon. My mom is inviting you over at our place. "
"Really? Sure I'll be there by one."
"Bring Niall too."
"Why him?"
"Naomi wont let you live."
"Oh I get it."
*****The call ends*****
I was pretty excited. Harry was officially visiting my house, I mean I had never let him in.
After the call I came downstairs, just to see mom working in the kitchen already. I tried to help her but she shoo me away.
"Get out of my kitchen!!" She exclaimed.
"Okay , mom chill."
My mom. She is always stressed to the power of infinity when someone is supposed to visit us at our place, be it my dad's co-worker, my brother's seniors or our friends and god forbid if it is our relatives back from India then ALL HELL BREAK LOOSE. Or in other words "OH MY MATA HOJANA HAI."
MOMS I TELL YOU.
I sit on the couch , staring at the clock thinking I have to stare at it till its noon, when I hear mom shout.
"Wake guddi up. I'm pretty sure she has fallen asleep again. Wake her up and ask her to clean her room."
"Yes mom." I waste no time.
Sona and guddi are our nick names , sona as in gold and guddi the abbriviation for gudiya which is doll. Not to my astonishment Naomi was literally sleeping.
"Naomi uth. Uth naa maa ajayegi tujhe uthane."(Naomi wake up. Wake up or else mom will come up to wake you.)
Lifting her body up from the bed.
"Maa nu mata kede chari hai."(Mata chadhi hai- literal meaning of someone losing thier mind. If an indian says 'USKO MATA CHADHI HAI.' he/she basically means the other person has lost it. So here Naomi basically means why has mom lost it.)
"Uth jaa reh maa meri. Harry aur Niall ayenge."( Wake up my dear. Harry and Niall are on their way to our home.)
"Oh shit. I almost forgot."
"Why you keep blabbering in punjabi while asleep?"
"Because, the bengali in me is awake all throughout the day which keeps reminding me that I belong to a sophisticated family and I need to maintain my decorum." Naomi fakes out the QUEEN'S ENGLISH.
"I need to keep my punjaban alive." She adds.
I pull her out of her bed and rush her to the washroom ordering her to freshen up, while I clean her room because I know under no circumstances would she ever choose to even keep a pencil in the pencilcase.
Half an hour passes and I finally accomplish in cleaning her room and when I was about to take a rest on her couch.
She comes out of the wash room, "ascccaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
"Shhhh shhhh shhhhh . Whats wrong?" Trying to console her.
"Where are we? Did we have alien invasion or something? This aint my room." Naomi terror stricken.
"We didnt have alien invasion , and this is your room. This is the second time your actually seeing it arent you? The first was when we moved in and after that we all know what happened ." I retorted.
"Catastrophe." Naomi described.
I asked her to change and wear something Indian to which she retorted , "They aren't the President of the States nor are they our relatives back from India so why?"
"Mom!"
"Oh haa maa janani." (Oh yes mom. Janani is another word which means mother .)
"Chal change karke aah." *(Go get ready and come.)

Mom's phone rings .
"Yes, Amanda. Now??? But there some guests coming over ....."
Okay okay I'll be there in fifteen."
"Whats wrong maa?" I question.
"A very VIP party are coming over to check out our wedding collection so I have to leave."
"Should I ask them not to come?"
"What ? No!!!!! Mehmaan hai woh hamare , mehmaan bhagwaan hota hai." (They are our guests . Guests are equivalent to God.) She quotes my grandmother.
" Alright then."
"Take care of them. Take care of Naomi. Take care of yourself. I might be late. Ok ? ...
Okay
Mom leaves.
Its just 11am and mom had completed all the household chores and left nothing for me to do.
I decided to get ready. ****2HOURS LATER!!!!!!**** **door bell rings**
"Nat is it them?"
"Hope so. Wait I'll check the door."
Peeping through the peeping hole. "Its them." I state.
"Oh God Natalie chill. Its just 'them.' "
*OPENING THE DOOR*
"Hi Harry, hey Niall." I wish them.
"Hey Natalie. Thanks for the invite." Niall says. "Thank you Niall, Harry? Harry?"
"Harry???? Brother you alright." Niall shakes him up.
Harry's POV.
I was lost , lost in her eyes. Those eyes, felt like when God was shaping her he paused after shaping one of her eyes, for its beauty and perfection was blinding he waited, waited till the glaze of its perfection dimmed so that he could shape the other eye, but it didnt stop glazing but God continued shaping the other eye and when God was done he might have said BETTER.
"HARRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYY????????"
"Shut up Niall, let me enjoy this beauty." I murmur not understanding the situation.
"Harry!" This time Natalie shakes me up . "Get in ." "You look gorgeous." I didn't realize I had said that out loud, still standing by the door.
"Get in mate." Niall pushes me in .
"Natalie , come here." Niall calls in for her.
"Yes Niall." then pulling me and closing the door she continues "Get in Harry. Yes Niall."
"Who is this girl here? Where's Naomi I'll ask her to introduce me to her? Leave I'll do it meself!"
"Ni-Ni-Niall" Natalie cries, and is stopped by me covering her mouth with my right hand, while My left hand grabs her by the waist almost pulling her in a reverse hug, feeling her over my body left me pretty bonkers. I realized Natalie was pretty astonished as well , so I let go of my hands from her face, still holding her by the waist I utter a "Sorry" ... " Um just wait and see Nat."
"Bu-u-utttt you dont understand." She tries to explain.
"I do love , just wait."
"Hello ma'a-----............" Niall starts but doesn't continue.
Naomi stares at Niall
Niall stares at Naomi
Naomi stares at Niall
Niall stares at Naomi
Naomi stares at Niall
Niall stares at Naomi
An awkward silence for about five minutes prevails. Until I break the ice.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH NIALLL YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE." I CRIED.
Niall with his hands on his head. "Shit bruv I did."
"Niall you're such a daft lad. But you on the other hand Jr.Peters you look stunning."
"Thank you Mr.Cooper and get lost Nelson."
* * * *
We sit for lunch and she brings up the food. Felt like I was sitting in the geology class and the topic of discussion was DIVERSITY OF INDIA.
"Wow , do we have something more?"
"No , do you want something more?"
Natalie questions thinking I really wanted something.
"No- oh" I chuckle .
"I love Mrs.Peters" Niall interupts . Naomi gives him a terrifying look.
"What I love food don't you know?"
Naomi rolls her eyes.
"So what is in the menu?" I question.
"We have Biriyani, Butter Chicken, Raita , Papad , Chutney and Rosogolla."
"I've heard of 'Briyani' 'Buttah Chicken' and 'Shutney', but Roller what?" Niall puzzled.
"Rossogolla Nathaniel, raw~show~goal~laa." Naomi corrected.
"Wow, I am hella excited. I dont get Indian food daily."
"Oh Noel." Natalie retorted.
"You too Nat." Niall complains.
We enjoy the lunch like a little family forgetting about all the worries and tensions. I hardly get to spend time with my family after mom and dad parted ways I forgot the essence of family time and how it affects our lives . I miss my family for sure, but here I've got a family of my own.
