"Brieeee...."
My mom yelled my name from the kitchen and i suddenly opened my eyes and looked at my phone.
It's 6am...OMG
I rushed in to the bathroom and after my morning routine i went to kitchen where my mom was cooking breakfast. I joined her for help.
"Brie i hope you are all set for the trip to Doncaster ,Louis will be there to pick you up right?" said by mom.
"Yeah ". I replied with a sigh.
Louis is my best friend since my childhood. I was born in Doncaster and my childhood and most of my teenage was spend in there. Me and my brother Luke moved to India when i was 18 with our parents because my grandfather got sick. Now it's been 2 years since he passed away but we continued to live here for my mom's family and we are settled in Bangalore beacuse my mom wants to be close to her family after her dad passed away. She took it hard.
Bangalore is good. I really love the city and its nature.but I've always missed Doncaster.most of my friends are there . I 've completed my degree in chennai. I've 2 close friends there alicia and jennifer.we were roommates in our college hostel.
"Brieee..." mom wakes me up from my thoughts. "I know it's the first time you travel alone to this much distance."
She said it in a worried expression.
"Mom... I'm 23". I said
"I know but be carful.don't talk to strangers and... enjoy your trip". she said.
I rolled my eyes. She still thinks that I'm a kid...mom have a very traditional Indian family who still not heard the term 'dating'...so it was always kinda awkward when it comes to dating because of my mom. But i can't blame her because her marriage was arranged with my dad who is an anglo Indian that working in England. So she don't really belive in dating but my dad don't have any issues with dating at all.
Speaking of dating I've never had a real date because i was told by mom that i can't date till I'm18 because according to her it's supposed to be studying period of life... ughh.. i know. Brown mom and i really didn't want to deal with her flying slippers. Then i moved to India and went to college had a couple of secret date but nothing serious. Mom was always fond of Louis because he was our neighbour and also his family was really close to ours. Mom really trust Louis so do i.
Now I'm gonna see him again, after 5 years because he planned a get together as we both completed degree and also managed to convince my mom that he will takecare everything. He always texted, kept in touch with me in all these time.we didn't give up our friendship. The vibrating sound of my phone brought me back to reality. It was from Louis.
From Lou,
Brieee.. Can't wait to see you love.... i 'll be there at airport.gudnight...ohh..it's morning there ... anyways see you tomorrow.
I smiled at his text. It's probably 1am there. I have to get ready because my flight is at 10.30am. I've already packed my things and all i have to do is to get dressed so i put on my black jeans and a red top .I dried my dark hair and braided it in a side. I put a little mascara and thin layer of eyeliner in to my brown eyes. I have tanned skin from my mom and my brother Luke have blue eyes and white skin from my anglo Indian father George Hemmings.
I always disliked my features and was highly insecured about it. I was so conscious about fitness and skin care routines but still i never had enough confidence about my looks.
"Brie... come and have breakfast." my mom called.
When i arrived at dining room Luke was alredy there with his messy blonde hair with sleepy eyes. Dad and mom jonined with us and my mom began to serve the breakfast.
"Beena... are you still worried about our daughter's trip ?" Dad asked to mom.
"No...it's just..." mom stuttered
"Or are you worried about that she will date any randome guy"
Luke said with a laugh and mom give him a look but he was enjoying the whole situation.
Why the hell she worried about that?? I'm an Introvert and hella awkward when it comes to guys. But she didn't know.
"Luke....." i warned him and he sticks his tongue out and mocked me
Eventhogh he is 2 year older than me he is still a child at heart.
8.00am
I said goodbye to my mom who still has a worried expression in her face and get in the car with dad and Luke after putting my luggage in to the car.
"Bye mom.."
"Bye honey... take care."
Traffic in Bangalore was heavy thats why we left early Eventhogh its only 1 hour to the Bangalore international airport.
We reached airpot at 10 am. Finally my flight arrived i said bye to Luke and my Dad and get in to the plane after all the security checking.
I will reach there at Indian time 12pm and it will be 5am at Doncaster. I've already texted Louis before i get in to the plane.
