Leaving My Home

*sobbing*

Sarah: Do we have to go there now?

Mom: Sarah, we talked about this, right? It's too late to rethink this all over again.

Sarah: But mom, you know this is hard for me. I don't make friends easily, it took me 7 years to find such good friends.

Mom: Yeah; And where would your "good friends" would be? They didn't even come to see you off.

Sarah: Yes, they did. Where do you think I disappeared after buying milk in the morning. They had come to the house to see me off. *Crying even more*

Mom: Baby, try to understand me. My salary will be 10 times the salary I had here. We will have better lives. We three will be safe there. There will be no one to judge you on what you wear or what you say. Even more, you will do better at school too. You are just ignoring the good things. If you say that you made nice friends, then you guys will never forget each other, hmm?

Sarah: Whatever.

Aditi(younger sister): Have you stopped crying yet? The announcement has been made to board the flight.

Sarah: Aren't you sad?

Aditi: No. Unlike you, I HAVE good friends and I'm good at making more. *teases*

All three start walking through the terminal towards the Boarding Shuttle.

Sarah: People there are different.

Mom: We too are different. Even within our country, we all were always different. Just remember, We NEVER forget our roots and our cultural values, that's what makes us Indians, hmm?

Sarah and Aditi: Yup!!

All three sit at their seats. The lights go out and the plane takes off with a reminder, that a new life awaits the three of us; hopefully a better one.

Sarah's POV:

The thought of begginning again scares the living daylights out of me. The endless fear of being oblivious to my friends seems predictable yet impossible for me. Huh! I feel like hugging my friends and crying endlessly in their arms to a point when I'm completely saturated. What if I get bullied because of my colour. Me being a over- thinker doesn't benefit me.

My friends are my most prized possession. But quite frankly, they will forget me. Tears fall down my face as I recall the memories I have with my friends.

Unfortunately, it is going to be a long flight. I look out of the window and look down upon my beautiful home that I will soon won't be a part of.

I can see nothing but clouds from my red, teary eyes and coping from my helplessness, I force myself to be a stronger person from that moment on and hum myself to sleep.

At least there will be many ice skating rings there😅 and very cold so hopefully my tears will freeze before they roll down my cheeks ☺️
