Kria's POV....
I am lying on the bed with Nat, looking at our moms' getting ready. They are leaving to Texas today in the evening. I asked them if I could join as I wanted to visit Grandpa and my brother Jason's grave too but they said no. I could visit in a few days though as I am already living in US. It was really wonderful spending time with them all these days but I could not meet my Tarzan as it might lead to doubts and fights. I do not want my dad going all pap bear on him. Yes I named him Tarzan because he acts like a caveman sometimes, I mean, most of the time.

"Listen Kria, when we leave, I want you to behave. You are an elder sister and act like one. I should not say this again and again but you behave worse than a kid. Jia is more mature enough compared to you" my mom scolded me for the Nth time even though I did not do anything. "Jahnavi (Kria's mom), stop scolding her so much. Why are you scolding her by the way? What did she do now?" Meera aunty (Ahana's mom) said, entering the room holding clothes in her hand, fresh out of laundry with Grishma aunty (Aadya's Mom) tailing behind her. "Exactly. She is not half as naughty as my dumbo here. Her father and brother has spoiled her to bits" Sophia aunty (Nat's mom) said, ruffling Nat's hair and kissing my forehead. "Now what did I do? I am sitting like a baby here. I am at my best behaviour from the time we landed here in America. Ask Kiki" Nat grumbled.
"Why are you so concerned guys? I am the one that is supposed to worry here. It is my daughter who caused ruckus as soon as we came to America. I do not know how to handle her father. He is so angry and worried. He is upset that his daughter is ignoring him" Grishma aunty expressed her worry, holding her head in her hands. I know, DRAMATIC!! But wait... He thinks Addy is ignoring him? Oh god! She thinks he is upset with her. We need to do something aboutit but before that lets hear our moms' complaining about us like some competition where they decide and give prize for the mom who could prove whose daughter is the worst. What should I do with these ladies?
"Well if I were you, I would not worry too much. I mean Justin is a very handsome young man. I would be lucky to find a son in law like him" Sophia aunty giggled at herself.
"I know right! There is nothing wrong with being in love with someone. I mean I married Ryan (Kria's dad) after being in relationship for like ever. Sophie and Gerard (Nat's dad) are no less, despite his strict dad act, he is a hopeless romantic too" my mom was talking but interrupted by Meera aunty.
"And come on Grishma, your husband was behind you for years. I have seen him acting like a love sick puppy in my wedding. He kept on asking 'bhabhi (sister in law) who is your friend, introduce us blah blah blah and all'. I am the only poor and naive girl who married a guy that my dad asked me to marry" Meera aunty expressed.
"Oh really? I guess I would have to talk to Bhaskar (Ahana's father) about it. He will decided how naive you are" my mom teased her for which Meera aunty begged my mom not to and that she was really the happiest woman with him.
"By the way Kria and Nat, you can choose any of them too if you like. We will handle your dads' but please do not fall for the same guy and create drama " My mom said making Nat and I looked at each other with wide eyes. If only you knew mom, if only you knew. Nat and I might end up having the same mother in law and father in law but different husbands. Aadya and Ahana entered the room and closed the door interrupting my thoughts.
"Look girls, there is nothing wrong with falling in Love but please, please do not have S*x before marriage. Even if you do, use whatever the protection you could use. It is not like we do not want beautiful grand babies but I can't tolerate your father's relatives" my mom continued despite us covering our faces with pillows.
"Well, I agree. Aaron and Natasha's babies would look so cute" Sophia aunty said making Nat's face look like monkey's a*s. "Mom, what the hell are you talking about?" Nat shouted, trying to act like it was not true but she failed miserable. I bursted out laughing, looking at her, with tears and all.
"What? You do not think that we have not observed you people. Do you? And you madam, what are you laughing at? Do you think we do not know that handsome hunk Adrian and you sneaking glances at each other? We might not be of this generation but we have been through this stage as well. Just remember no kuch kuch (something something) until wedding. It is very frowned up on in India" Sophia aunty said. That made me shut up but my so called best friends started laughing. Traitors. Our moms' are really sharp I must admit.
"Alright mom. I really love to talk to you guys about our love interests but we have to talk to Kishore uncle (Aadya's dad). He is not talking to Addy and she is not eating properly from that incident. We will leave now. You gossip girls leave us from your gossip topic. Ba bye" I said, pulling Nat, Ahana and Addy out of the room.
"Before we go and talk to papa, I will just drink some water and join you guys" Addy told us and left.
"I never knew that I would see a day where I had to listen to our moms' talk about S. E. X. and protection. That was on of the reasons I loved as an Indian" I told them. "Kiki, you know you would not get pregnant by telling the word 3x right?" Natasha teased me earning a slap on her shoulder from me.
"If you kids are done with your banter, can we please go and talk to chikkappa (dad's younger brother) about Addy here? I cannot deal with being her and Justin's messenger here" Ahana scolded us left to meet our dads'.
"Well what got her panties in a twist?" asked Nat. I just shrugged my shoulder still in shock but we followed her before she screams at us.
I had enough of dealing with Gossip Girls, I do not know if I could deal with Papa bears.
