#7163 A Trip to Remember This is my story,which Im going to make you read via this page. I woke up at 7 am with the alarm which I set up last night.I was at home for Winter vacations so I wake up regularly at 10 am at home to cover the sleepless nights of AMU. I collected my phone,jacket and motorbike keys,washed my face and started grooming myself.My mother was already awake and she was lighting up the bonfire while the tea was brewing in the kitchen.I sat around and started comforting myself from the chilling winter cold. Kahan ki tayyari hai ? asked my mother with a pry tone. Kahin nahi,bas ek friend k yahan Ja rahe with a circumspectly careless tone (I pretended that Im not serious about going somewhere but I was actually) -Itni subah -Han Juma hai na,jaldi aa jayenge,Chai ban gayi ? And she got inside the kitchen and returned with the tea and a half fried omlette sandwich. I sipped the hot tea as fast as I could burning my tongue and in between took large bites from the omlette sandwich and rushed down to escape anymore questions. I knocked Farhans (my cousin) home door but I got the reply that he was already off to the market(mandi) for vegetables.I dialled his number and the call was connected. -Kahaan ho yar,kaha tha gayab mat hona aaj -arey mandi aa gaye,aa rahe bees minute me -Jaldi aana I spend these long twenty minutes walking around,checking fb and gave him three missed calls to make him return fast. Finally he came with a polythene of fresh vegetables and got inside his home followed by me. His mother was reading hadith about Akhlaq (behaviour). He handed the pack to her and started totalling the expenditure. -20 ki gaajar,15 ke matar,10 ki adrak,30 ke aaloo.... And I was like Oh God,aakar juda dena hisaab kitaab He erred in the calculations and took out his Intex phone to calculate and did it two times to my surprise. I felt an extreme urge to facewall my head!! Finally the arithmetic ended.I gave him the bike keys and asked him to take it out the door. I got into the the office where my businessman elder brother was summing up and paying the wages to the workers with my cashier grandfather. I called him outside and... -Ham ja rahe gaadi lekar apne dost ke yahaan Farhan ke sath,abhi aa jayenge I thought it necessary to tell him as he was the person exploiting the bike most. I didnt have enough rights and freedom at home compared to him as the money was being spent upon me and he was one of the bread earner like my father and uncle.(Joint family and joint business). So I told him as I didnt wanted my expedition to be hindered anyway with the phone calls that followed when no one knew where the bike dissappeared. -Abhi mat Jaao,abhi mujhe jana hai station 2 minute ke liye he said. -Chale jana ap kisi se bike lekar mujhe jana hai dost ke,tayyar bhi ho gaye ham I begged desperately. -Aa rahe do minute me station se,dost bhag thodi jayega He said decisively and I gave up. He took the bike and distanced from me. -Abhi wo aa Jaye station se fir chalte hain I told Farhan who was wrapped in a Shawl which reminded me it was very cool outside. We walked the road with my hands in pocket and started passing the time. We reached a general store and started reading news paper and I missed call my brother in the process several times until he arrived. I took the bike from him,handed it to my cousin and asked him to run fast before some other obstacle interfered our way. We drove past the curvy lanes of our area and stopped at the main road. We checked fuel,air of the tyres and adjusted our clothes to escape the chilling weather. Then accelerated the bike and we started moving towards our goal. ....(continued)
