Chapter 6: A Heartwarming Call

In the midst of their project preparations, Mahesh's phone buzzed, offering a welcomed reprieve from their intensive work. Glancing at the screen, his father's name illuminated, invoking a surge of warmth and longing for home.

Stepping aside from the meeting, Mahesh answered the call. "Hello, Dad," he greeted warmly, his father's voice carrying a comforting resonance.

"Mahesh, beta," his father's voice crackled over the line, brimming with pride and affection. "How are you, son?"

"I'm doing well, Dad," Mahesh replied, his heart swelling with familial love. "Just engrossed in studies and project work."

"I'm glad to hear that, beta," his father said, his tone softening. "But remember to take care of yourself. Your health is paramount."

Mahesh nodded, appreciating his father's concern. "I will, Dad. Thanks for reminding me."

There was a momentary pause before his father resumed, a hint of excitement in his voice. "Beta, your Amma and Geetha wanted to speak with you. They're immensely proud of you."

A surge of affection swept through Mahesh at the mention of his family. "Put them on, Dad. I'd love to hear from them."

As the phone exchanged hands, Mahesh's mother, Amma, spoke up, her voice carrying a mixture of love and worry. "Mahesh, my dear, how are you? Are you taking care of yourself? You sound tired."

Mahesh chuckled softly at his mother's familiar concern. "Yes, Amma, I'm making sure to rest and eat well. Please don't worry about me."

Amma, a petite woman with warm brown eyes and a gentle smile, exhaled in relief. "That's good to hear, beta. Remember to take breaks."

His father, Appa, joined in, his deep voice resonating with pride. "Mahesh, how are your studies going? And your project?"

Mahesh's heart swelled with warmth at his father's inquiry. "The project is progressing smoothly, Dad. We're making strides. And my studies are going well too."

Appa's voice filled with pride. "That's wonderful to hear, beta. Keep up the good work."

Mahesh's thoughts turned to his sister, Geetha, who was also pursuing her studies. "How is Geetha's studies going, Amma?"

Amma's voice brightened. "She's doing well, Mahesh. Working hard towards her exams. She sends her love and wishes you all the best for your project."

Mahesh smiled, a sense of pride swelling in his chest. "Tell her I'm proud of her too, Amma. And I'll make sure to call her soon."

As the call drew to a close, Mahesh felt a deep sense of gratitude for his family's unwavering support. Though they were unaware of the intricacies of his project, their encouragement fueled his determination.
