" Samantha, pls come here please " Savitri called in her accent.
"Yes mom, I'm coming" Samantha answered sarcastically.
She never stops calling her.
Samantha puts her gaming pads and headphones away.
Savitri was lucky the headphones where on low volume.
Samantha went to her mom's room , "I'm here mom"
" Samantha, how would you like to go to my home town?" Savitri excitedly asked.
" Your home town " Samantha asked not believing what her mom said " Like 'Your' Hometown, like your hometown in India " she said and started laughing ..
" Mum, you can't be serious " She said while still laughing .
" I'm serious honey, very serious" Savitri said " I miss my family back in India, I haven't seen them for so long"
" Uhg, then go on your own mom, You can't drag me to India cos you want to see your weird family" Samantha said bluntly.
Samantha doesn't have a filter when she talks, she says it as it is.
" Sammie, they are your family too, you shouldn't say such words about them" Savitri said.
"I'm sorry mom, but I won't spend my summer holidays in India, and prom is next week mom, I have to prepare" Samantha said.
" Oh, we would be going after your prom dear, there's no need to worry" Savitri said.
" That doesn't mean I'm still gonna go there, I'm going with my friends to France to spend the holidays before college" Samantha said.
"It would be fun, you'd get to see your cousins" Savitri tried to convince her but she knew it wasn't working.
" No, mom" Samantha said " I've made up my mind there's no going back, I'm going to my room, and I have a match coming up, so I'm gonna be busy for the next few hours"
Samantha ran to her room, and continued playing her online game on her computer.
She put the volume of her headphones in the loudest.
Back in her room, Savitri knew she wasn't going to convince her so she had to get her husband to do it .
" She's so difficult, only her father can convince her, I told him she wouldn't budge If I was to tell her" She said and picked her phone up to call her husband.
A few hours later, Samantha came down looking indifferent as usual.
"How was the game, Honey" Savitri asked while setting the table.
Samantha went to help her mom set the table " It was okay mom, we won again, easy peesy, we always win, it's nothing new anymore, I'm an expert".
She was actually an expert and she loves gaming. Her parents supported her passion and buys all she need to become a professional. She has always loved it from a young age.
"Mom, I would like you to come shopping with me for my prom dress" She change the topic " You have good taste mom".
" And I also have money " Savitri said laughing.
" Yeah mom, obviously." Samantha said smiling widely.
"I'm going with my friends, I don't have a date, a lot of guys asked me to go with them but Lacey, Mercedez and I decided to go with ourselves and we want to look the best" she said.
Lacey and Mercedez are her best friends
" Why don't I call my designer to make a stunning dress for the three of you " Savitri said.
" Yes mom, that's a great idea, I'm gonna tell them, they're gonna get blown away, Avani makes the best dress" Samantha said.
Jarrad suddenly came in " I'm back people" he said from the living room.
"Dad" Samantha screamed and hugged her father.
"Honey, you're back early" Savitri said and collected his coat and briefcase.
"I'm the boss, I can come and go anytime I want" Jarrad said and gave Savitri a kiss.
"Ewwwww" Samantha said while leaving the room "get a room"
Savitri and Jarrad laughed and Jarrad went upstairs to clean up while Savitri went to set dinner up.
Jarrad came down while Samantha and Savitri was eating.
" Savi, we are going to visit your family in India next month" He said.
" What, Dad I want to go to France with my friends, I already told you and you agreed" Samantha said in a slightly loud tone.
" I know, but your grandmother is very sick and she needs family close to her" Jarrad tried to reason with her.
" But dad, She has like 20 other family members living with her in their ridiculously huge house" Samantha stood up and said.
"Sammie, sit" Savitri said and continued eating.
Samantha sat, she wasn't happy at all, was her parents trying to ruin her summer break, just before college.
