When I walked out Those Doors..! Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Everything starts from Home where The Heart is!

            “What happen, what’s all the noise!” exclaimed Geetha to her 17year old son runing into his room. “Kevin what happen in here why did you trash your room……?”

“Maa, can you please not shout!!!..”
“If you can do this in your room, I can shout.” Said Geetha with her usual face; left eye brows up, smiling with right side of her lip slightly bent up and her chin slightly up as if she was proud of something she did.

            “I am not exactly in the right mood for laughing at that express and you counter joke like dialogs!” exclaimed Kevin bighting his teeth together, stating at a very low volume end at the level of a shout.

            “Can you please for the sake of the girl you will introduce to me soon tell me what is on your mind?”
“Why don’t you come with me and sit on the couch have cup of coffee and we will talk, ok?” Kevin pulled back his head slightly with a curious frown thinking, ‘How on earth is she so calmly handling me breaking every single thing that can be broke in my room?’

            Kevin walk down stares a few minutes after his mother went down, when he reached about half way through the second and last flight of stairs he could see her siting on the couch holding her cup of coffee, with steam slowing flying up, she gently blow over the coffee took  breath in and took a sip. There was another cup waiting for him in front of her. As he walked down further and almost reached the last step the energizing aroma of coffee slowly reached out to him. He took a deep breath in, let it go slowly and walked to ward his mother waiting very patiently.

He sat down, curled in his lips bit them down, took a deep breath and reached for his cup. He looked at the cup and smiled, that was his mother’s favorite cup. It said, “PROPERTY of Geetha; You have been Warned!”

            He took a sip there was total silence, he waited for a while, took another sip. ‘Still waiting on that lecture maa’ Kevin thought to himself.  “Look maa” started Kevin suddenly standing up “I lost my chance to get in to state level kung-Fu tournament. I didn’t even reach the finals or the semi-finals and loose. That’s right! I lost in the first round qualifiers itself!”  She sat there still taking small sips of the coffee; Kevin didn’t stop he just went on, saying how he fought how much he had practiced what his dream of becoming a great martial artist was so on and on and on.

Then when he finally calmed down he gasped for air sat down took a mouth full of coffee. It was hot, “don’t you dare spit!” said Geetha in her very effective commanding voice.
Kevin helplessly “Mmmmm…!” pushing out his eyes and eye brows up.

            “Look up slightly open your mouth make sure you don’t spill out the coffee and gradually blow out  through your mouth, Careful don’t let your lungs drink any of that” said Geetha. Kevin pushed out his eyes even more and frowned. ‘How can anyone do that” Kevin though. Geetha took in a mouth full and showed, you are supposed to be a martial arts fighter, to quote your own words. Now Do it!

Kevin tried and to his surprise he could do it, he was able to drink it. Well to his darn luck he became too confident and did it again, you can guess what happen next……

After a lot of coughing, hot coffee coming through his nose and lot of gasps of air he finally calmed down. He look at his mother’s face, she had a small smile on her face. He couldn’t hold it in either, and the both of them started laughing.

            After dinner Kevin said, “Maa I am sorry for the mess in my room, I will fix everything I can. The rest I will find out how to and fix it there after…”; “Until then we will share the bed in my room, You father will be here only after a few week, Even if you are not done by then We will sleep like we used to when you were an year old” Geetha interrupted.
