New Beginnings

7- Mornings

I locked my room's door as soon as I came inside. They looked decent enough to not come inside without knocking, but you can never know.

I heard the other door being shut, either they went out or they too preferred locking it before sleeping. 'Well whatever, their wish,' shrugging I moved my gaze towards the room.

This room was lot smaller than my original one. My bags were settled in a corner and they took almost half of the space of this room. The bed was literally half of my bed at the mansion. I don't know how was I going to adjust here.

I was thinking all this but then felt like hitting myself.

The other room was of the same size, yet the twins had to share it while I got the whole room for myself. They had to adjust at their own home and here I was complaining.

The whole family was trying their best for me, the least I could do was not complain about the things which weren't in their hands.

Hopefully one day, I will get adjusted to this small room. For tonight, my tiredness of the journey would be enough for me to get the sleep which wouldn't be possible otherwise because of the massive change in place.

Keeping the unpacking work for tomorrow, I just went to take out my night wears from my bags. While searching for my clothes, my hands touched a photo frame. Taking it out, I saw that it was my photo with my parents from one of our vacation trips.

We all had wide smiles on our face. A lone tear came out of my eyes and dropped on the frame. I didn't bother wiping it away, seeing this was the only place where I could cry freely without looking weak and being sympathized.

Putting the frame on the bedside table, I again began to rummage for my night wears.

My tiredness didn't help, I couldn't sleep. I tried changing positions, even counted sheep yet to no avail. Sighing, I got up and started unpacking. At least I would be doing something instead of looking at the ceiling fan.

Halfway through my bags, I started yawning.

'Yes!!' Feeling happy, I didn't even waste a second and laid down on the bed, hoping that now I would get some sleep. All my mess was splattered around the room but I could always clear them tomorrow, sleep was more important.

                          ~~~•~~~

Next morning:

I started clearing the mess, I had made last night.

I sat with a thump on my bed after finishing everything.

After all this work, I badly needed a coffee. So I knocked on the door which was connected to the twins room.

"What?" one of them asked.

"Rishi?" I asked him and told him that I wanted to go downstairs.

"I'm Raghav, and the door is open," Raghav answered.

"I just wanted to know if both of you are dressed decently?" I asked him.

"Raghav," I called out to him as I didn't receive any answer.

After calling him 2-3 times I realized that he wasn't going to answer.

I waited for a few minutes, but thought to just chuck it and went to their room. I closed my eyes to not encounter their shirtless forms again.

With the great luck I had, nothing went according to my wishes. Walking with closed eyes was hazardous. I slammed into something hard and had a great fall which not only managed to bruise my body but also my ego.

My eyes opened on the record and I saw both of them trying to stifle their laughs, which did nothing but add to my embarrassment.

"Are you hurt? Come give me your hand," Rishi said, extending his hand.

Yeah show concern after having a laughter party. Giving him a 'get lost' look, I stood up myself, ignoring his forwarded hand.

Sighing he took his hand back. Raising his eyebrow, he asked, "Why the hell where you walking with your eyes closed?"

I just looked here and there instead of answering and embarrasing myself yet again.

Whilst Raghav stood there smirking knowing exactly why I did that.

"Forget about it, I was going to get some coffee, would you like some?" I asked them, diverting the topic.

They shook their heads replied simultaneously, "Nope."

Yeah do everything together, looks like they took the twin thingy seriously.

I just shook my head and left their room.

I saw both Uncle and Aunt having their breakfast. Greeting them 'Good Morning', I went to make my coffee, ofcourse after receiving the directions  from Aunt about where the ingredients where placed.

Uncle shouted for the twins to come and eat breakfast and then he left for his restaurant.

I too had finished my coffee and joined the twins for breakfast.

"Raghav, Rishi, take Trisha today and show her the town," Aunt said while we were eating.

"Sorry mom, I can't go with her, I have football practice." Rishi told her apologetically.

"Oh yeah, don't know how I forgot about it. Raghav will show you around then," she said not giving Raghav a chance to say no.
