5 Eldest of The Younger Generation (2/2)
In front of them were the temple and flower garden. They walked on the path among flowers to reach the main house. Akash mentioned ”All these are hobbies of my grandfather. I also like it. There is also a vegetable garden in one-fourth area of the property. Vegetable garden in back and we can not see it from this side.”
Kripa laughed and said ”Your grandparents are really great visionary. When everyone tries to increase money, he invested so much in the home. It looks like it paid off. I will bring my family in the future to have a picnic here.”
”I would love that. Come whenever you wish to visit.” Akash laughed and said.
They reached the front door of the main building and suddenly few kids ran and saw them standing in front. One of the boys shouted ”Grandma! elder brother has come back” and youngest one who is around 10 years ran to Akash and shouted playfully ”Elder brother! Have you brought anything for me?”
Akash laughed and stroked his hair and said ”I did not know what you like that you have grown up so much. I will take you shopping someday.” Younger brother pouted but did not say anything because other brothers and sisters are also running toward them.
Akash has total 3 younger cousin brothers and 2 sisters. His own sister Ira is 18 this year and is in college. Ira came fast and hugged Akash and said while sobbing ”Elder brother! I missed you.”
Akash smiled at his sister gave a peck at her cheek and said laughing ”Now, I will stay here. So, you won't miss me but wish that I will go away for some days.” After the death of their father, his sister has become extra emotional. She always feels apprehensive whenever Akash is not at home. He calls home regularly to talk with his sister.
Akash held the hand of Ira and looked toward his cousin brothers and sisters and said: ”Let us go meet Grandma and Grandpa.” He turned and called his friends and said: ”Let us go in.”
In the big house, hustle bustle can be heard. Few servants can be seen arranging the sofa and adding some chairs in the sitting arrangement in the hall.
Akash smiled when he heard the shout of his youngest uncle ”Eldest son has come? Where is he? Why am I the last one to know?”
