The plane stayed quiet for most of the flight, but as it descended, a certain 13-year-old's excitement ascended.
"So this is the place. God damn, Aaron, it genuinely feels like we are starting our own isekai adventure," Ishaan said, plastering his face all over the window as if the only thing between him and his adventure was that stupid glass.
"Mmmmm… Bro, call me brother when we are outside; for God's sake, also can't you just please keep quiet for a minute? I was having such a good dream too" 17-year-old Aaron woke up from his slumber with his sketchbook under him, half finished with a rough sketch of Alzaras.
"Ohh, don't tell me you are not excited", Ishaan said, eyeing the drawing.
"Oh, shut up!" Aaron shoved him and closed his sketchbook; his hands hovered over the sketchbook for a few minutes before the announcements started.
'Ladies and Gentlemen, we shall be arriving at Alzaras International Airport in 10 mins; kindly fasten your seatbelts'
"Well, anyways, let the adventure begin," Ishaan shouted out of excitement, but as he stared down for a brief period, his face lost all expression, and he just stared down.
"Ya sure", Aaron said calmly, sliding back as his gaze shifted to the ceiling while he let out a sigh of exhaustion.
As the doors opened, Ishaan sprang out of the cabin.
"HELLOOOOO ALZARASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..... DADDY HAS ARRIVED!" Ishaan screamed his lungs out into the fresh yet musty afternoon.
"Really, Ishaan, not now…" Aaron said as he struggled to carry all the luggage himself.
"OHHHH… come on, Aaron, really, have you seen such fresh air? *takes a long breath*Well, I think it might be a bit too clean for a Delhi desi," Ishaan said, staring into the distance.
"Ishaan, not right now", said Aaron as he came out carrying their parents and bags.
"Such a buzzkill you are br….. Ohhh shit, forgot about them," Ishaan quickly realised and grabbed hold of their father and his bag.
"Boys first, let's get to the hotel, then we can worry about the adventures", Mr Banerjee said, looking pale as a ghost.
Mrs Banerjee was chanting Durga Ma's name while puking into the sick bag, "Boys, let's get going"
Both boys looked at each other and, with a sigh, unanimously spoke.
"Yes, ma"
After the brothers managed to get hold of their luggage, they took off to take the taxi to their hotel and with Mr Banerjee being sick, Aaron took on the mantle.
"Let's get going already, bro", Ishaan whined from the window.
"Yes, yes, that one… We are going in a sec, man. Geez, you really don't have patience. And for the last time, call me brother," Aaron responded frustratingly as he finally proceeded to sit inside the car.
"Come on BROOO, can you really blame me…" proceeding to look outside the window as he looked around the city as they started to move out.
"You know what, once we get the room keys, you boys should go out and explore the area if you want to…. "Mrs Banerjee puking in the bag.
"Ya enjoy for now, don't let these old folks hold you back", Mr Banerjee said in a low yet sarcastic tone.
"First let's get to the hotel, baba, then we can see", said Aaron as he sat there trying to find the nearest medicine shop.
"Seriously, Aaron, just go; it's fine. We brought medicine, and it's not that serious. Just enjoy," Mrs Banerjee said, as he herself was completely exhausted from all the puking.
"Bro, you heard them; they'll be fine. Let's explore this town; we can't do much anyway right now," said Ishaan with a smile but with an undertone of worry.
"Fine", Aaron agreed to the plan reluctantly.
After a brief silence, Ishaan finally broke the silence with his usual energetic words.
"LETSSSSS GOOOOOOO, Bro, I am too excited, man, just imagine we go out, and we encounter some thugs or save girls in some dingy alley… Ohhhhhh mannn, can't wait"
"That only happens in movies and anime", Aaron replied reasonably.
"Ya ya… Jezz, the hotel can't come soon enough," Ishaan said, looking out of the window into the vast country of Alzaras.
"Honestly, how can someone have so much energy after almost a 2 day travel" Aaron said, looking at him with utter curiosity.
"Well, I am not normal, am I?" Ishaan responded to his curiosity.
"God bless Alzaras", Aaron said, turning to face ahead as he sighed.
