Alex sat over the corner of the hall in his grumpy mood. Everyone was happy and was admiring the beauty of the t which was designed especially for him. Be it the special room which has ck and white interiors to look like a football yground. He always wanted his room like this. But seeing that, he didn’t feel good. This house is not what he wanted at all. He wanted to live with his parents. He doesn’t want to leave them at any cost. He argued with all to skip this idea but Frank strictly made this decision and no one can have a say in his decision.


    Of course the kid when he bes independent, it’s normal to stay alone. Alex is always against this idea. He never wanted to do that. He loved the culture of some countries where they all live under the same roof till their end.


    ra is not at all aware of his turmoil and is just lost in the beauty of her home. She felt very happy to see how her father inw paid attention to her likes too. Her bedroom was painted in baby pink colour and it has a queen-sized bed with the same colour cover. Her window was very big in height and it has a transparent mirror to let her see the seashore. Everything is very pure and she enjoyed every little little thing arranged there. Frank and Jenny designed everything very carefully to make them happy and seeded in that too.


    The best part of the home is the long photo frame which is ced in the hall. Their family pic in which ra and Alex were sitting in the centre having their parents standing beside them.


    The housewarming function was going on smoothly and no one noticed how Alex felt at that moment. He doesn’t even want to voice out about his feelings to anyone. How can he say that his day would not beplete till he encounters a banter with his dad? How will he exin that his morning can’t be fresh without his mom’s forehead kiss? No one would understand him. They will point to him as an immature kid. He doesn’t want to get teased like that.


    “Alex, I just love this” ra came smiling broadly as his eyes shifted to her side. He smiles seeing her beautiful cheerful face. He has to ept this as he doesn’t want to disappoint her.


    “And I love you” Alex replied as he ced a soft kiss over her forehead.


    “Everyone is waiting for you.” She dragged him to the hall to have lunch together.


    “Dad, this is so beautiful. Even Alex loved everything” ra eximed. Frank looked at Alex as he looked away as if showing his rebellious mode.


    “Did he tell them?” Frank asked who is well aware of Alex’s mood.


    “Of course,” ra replied as she served the fried rice on everyone’s te.


    “Can you all stay here tonight?” Alex asked in his feeble voice.


    “Will it not be a disturbance for you?” Frank asked teasingly while ra hid behind the pir not to face this crazy family’s crazy banter. She can never get used to their teasing at all. That’s better if she stays away from them.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “Mom, please” Alex tries not to sound like pleading but it is obvious to Frank and Jenny. They agreed instantly and even Ron and Be agreed to stay there to enjoy the night with the kids.


    Because of the early morning appointments, Be and Ron had to leave the ce by night. ra felt a little sad but she knew it was important for them. Alex arranged everything so that they could sleep together in the hall and have a fun night.


    “Let’s y dumbsharad or songs game?” Frank asked, all excited.


    “Boring. Dad, we can just talk and talk” Alex took a pillow and arranged it between Frank and Jenny ignoring ra who fell out suddenly. As for Alex, he wants to be with them at least for this day as he would be with ra always. And also, she is treated like a princess by her parents so there would be no way she would feel out of their family.


    “Boring? Did it feel boring when you were ying with ra in Goa?” Frank asked ra to widen her eyes. Did he tell them everything? Even though it’s not a big deal, she doesn’t feel right. What do they think of her?


    “Why are you standing there? Come and join us, dear” Jenny grabbed ra and made her sit beside her. Jenny could read her in and out. After all, a girl’s insecurities will always be visible to a girl who has been in the same shoes. Jenny pressed ra’s palm giving her little support and started massaging Alex’s hair which is his favourite part as always.


    “Are you okay?” Jenny asked gently, squeezing ra’s palm to which she replied positively with a small smile. Frank and Alex shared many memories and ra found it too cute with them. But she missed her parents at this time. She too wanted to show him how close she is with her pops. She wants him to be aware of their bonding. But guess it’s not the right day.


    “He is afraid of cockroaches.” Frank startedughing revealing the most beautiful teasing thing about his son as he got a slight push from Alex.


    “Cockroaches are weird. But scared of them?” ra asked to y along, making Alex pout. He didn’t like how his dad joined with ra to pull his legs.


    “Okay fine. Don’t tease him too much. Frank, I knew many things about you to make fun of. So better stop this game now.” Jenny yelled as she pulled her son for a hug.


    They had a long night’s fun with each other and there was utter silence when Frank asked about her family.


    “My mom and dad both of their parents are no more and we have no close rtives. So that’s it.” ra exined in a single line but they could see her sadness behind it.


    “My mom always wanted to have many kids so that we won’t be alone like them. But God wishes for other things. She couldn’t conceive after my birth.” She added with a sad smile.


    “Even I always wanted Alex to have siblings.” Jenny’s words made both Frank and Alex silent in a bad sense. They looked not in a pleasant mood.


    “Then, what happened?” ra asked all curious.


    “It’s just short-lived happiness. I was pregnant when Alex was seven years old.” Jenny just got reminded of those days when she was happy and Frank would make her wishe true every day.


    “But it didn’tst.” Jenny finished her story in a single line. But seeing their expressions, ra could say that there is more to it. She didn’t want to make them upset so she let the matter go and tried to make them cheer up as she served them the sweet made ofva.


    “Moreover, he always wants to be the one to get pampered. He doesn’t want any siblings.” Frankughed as Alex pouted


    “Of course, I can’t share your love with anyone” Alex hugged his mom.


    “But now, I guess you are in second ce.” ra pulled Jenny, making Alex open his mouth wider.


    That was a nice night time with his family. ra liked them a lot but still missed her parents. She looked at Alex who was sleeping like a little kid keeping his head over his mom’sp. She could see his love for his parents and felt lucky to be a part of his love. He is genuinely a nice person who showers lots of love on his loved ones. Will she be able to return the same to him? She is scared that she might not be able to fit into this fun-loving family. She loves to be in silence and doesn’t like to have fun around like this. She hates parties. She hates ying any games. But this family is the exact opposite of her nature. The thing that surprised her is she started to enjoy those things with them. She regrets wasting her life being bored.


    But those questions left unanswered as she herself is not sure if she would be able to jell up with this cute family or not?
