Runaway Groom

7.

Andrew POV 

After reaching home from hospital, I was so tired not from any physical activity but I’m tired from all the brain storming, without saying each other anything we both went to our respective rooms, usually we sleep together either in my room or hers but I don’t think after all this both of us would like to sleep together. I was about to enter my account room when I got a call from my mother, informing me that my cousin Bryan from my mother side is getting married to some Indian girl on coming Thursday, it was rush-rush situation so he couldn’t inform us and as per my mother I’ve to fly with them today night and flight is at 11:30, I told my mother they can continue with their plan I’m not joining them as Naaya is not well. My mother got upset as Bryan is like her own son, I don’t want to upset her but I also don’t want leave Naaya. I want to take her along with me but mom will like it and I don’t want her to travel in this condition, she just got discharged and this trip will add more to her stress and exertion. After Dads insistence I agreed, after years we are travelling together as family for family, I’m happy for that but upset about Naaya that she will not be able join us. 

I started packing my bag and as instructed by mom I’ve to pack lot of things as Bryan is doing Indian wedding with an Indian in India. Mom called and then I realised that I’m running late so they are on the way to my place to pick me up. I can’t let them know our situation so I’ve to go out before they reach, so I dropped the idea of changing and rushed outside, when I was rushing outside, I bumped into Gina our maid, she smiled and apologised, I shake my head and said it’s my fault. I told her that when Naaya wake up let her know about my sudden visit to India for my cousins wedding and also inform her that I’ll be back in a week. 

I was with my family on flight so I turned on auto reply to all on my phone. I thought to message Naaya about the sudden plan but my sister start complaining like I can’t leave the house without informing her and I choose her over them and snatched phone from my hand. I let her be, anyways Naaya might have been sleeping. May be my message will disturb her sleep, so I decided to call her after landing. 

We reached India, IGI airport Delhi, I was not expecting Bryan to be personally there but to surprise us Bryan was there along with his fiancée and their respective families. 12 persons came to receive us, it was huge gathering. Everybody was get introduced with everyone, then we moved towards the cars which Bryan has arranged for us. Me, Annie, Brayan and his fiancée Nitara were adjusted in one car and I didn’t bother the rest of arrangement as more than 8 cars were still waiting for 12 persons. 

We discussed a hell lot of things; Bryan informed its destination themed wedding and how he and Nitara is excited about it. I was happy for him. Nitara is one fine women, easy-going but outspoken, funny but not ignorant, good match for Bryan. 

Next day we started our journey for the wedding venue which is some grand palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India which is more than 250 kms from the place we started our journey. 

Everything went well, I had lot of fun, this family function feels like stress buster, I can say a much-needed break from all the kiosk of my life. It’s not like I’m complaining or I’m jealous with my cousin or his happiness. 

Finally, this trip came to an end and we are waiting in the VIP lounge for our flight. I know I haven’t contacted or messaged Naaya about all this but neither did she. Maybe she’s still sulking over the previous incident. Anyway, I’ll reach New York early morning, then I’ll talk to her.
