Chapter : 1

In Canada, it's a gentle snowy morning... Vamika is rearranging her belongings in a high school locker room...

" Vami... Are you really going home... "

Charan glanced at Vami with disappointment as he stuffed everything into Vami's bag...

" We will leave the very next day... How many times have I told you this... "

Vami chewed her lower lip as she glanced at Charan...

" After asking for a while, if your mind changes and you will want to stay here, so I will ask again and again... "

With a wink, Charan looked at Vami....

" There is no way out, my dear.... Dad is pleased to return home... It's where my mother's presence is present... How long has it been since Father left Mom alone there... "

Vami smiled as she dried her teary eyes.

" We're aware of everything, little one.... But how will I see you after you're gone... You were there with me when I can remember... I can't take it anymore... "

Joe gives Vami a worried embrace...

" I, too, am saddened, Joppa... To be away from mother, papa, Ichayan, Icheyi, and you...

But dad.... Dad has always wanted to return home... Dad feels it's time... "

Vami stroked Jo's back, comforting him...

" Even if you go there, you must come to see us sometimes or will you forget us when you get all new relatives... "

Joe snatched Vami's nose and squeezed...

" Of course, my dear friend... You can also visit home... I might make a daily video call to make sure I don't forget about you... That's all there is to it... "

Vami laughed as she grabbed Joe's cheek...

" Do you know anyone there, Vami... "

Charan inquired as she filled her bag...

" If you ask me, I know everyone, and if I saw them personally, I could recognise them... I'm always seeing their pictures, na... And I've talked to them a lot on the phone... But I don't know anyone in particular... I'm not sure how it will be when I go there because it's a large extended family... "

Vami walked with them to class, carrying her backpack...

" Dad stated there were a lot of boys there... You can enjoy looking at them there... "

Joe made fun of Vami and winked at her... After hearing that, Charan's face turned pale...

" Ya.... I have ten cousin boys there... I can look at anyone... "

Vami gave Joe a wink and slung her arm around each of their shoulders.

" Today is the last day we can rejoice as a group... Let's inform everyone in class and throw a party... "

As they entered the classroom, Joe added.

Everyone who saw them gathered around them.

" Hello, Vam.... Are you going to quit studying? "

" Is it true that you were going back to India? "

" Why are you going back now after all these years? "

" Will you be back? "

" When are you leaving? "

All of Vami's classmates bombarded her with questions...

" Hello everyone... Could you please give me a moment to breathe?

Well... I'm going to tell you everything... I'm putting an end to my studies here... And complete my studies in Kerala, my home state... Because my father wishes to return... He had to wait so long for me to become an adult...

I'm not sure whether we'll return... And we'll be there in two days... "

Vami grinned and looked at all her friends...

" So sad... Do you want to go there? "

" You have no friends there... "

" How are you going to adjust there...? It's a bizarre environment filled with strange people... "

Everyone has their own doubts again...

"At first, I didn't want to go there... But our relatives are all expecting us to return... But I'm not sure why, but my mind keeps telling me to go there right away... It's as though something is drawing me there... "

Vami smiled as she gazed about...

Vami went shopping to pack her belongings after spending time with her friends and talking with the professors...

" Do you want to buy anything for them... "

Joe cast a wary glance around the shopping centre...

" Dad stated we didn't need to get anything special for anyone... Then we may go out and get some chocolates if we wish... "

Vami loaded some chocolates into the cart....

They spent some time shopping and so forth... Vami returned home after a nighttime party organised for her by her pals....

" Both should arrive tomorrow morning... I'd like to do the entire packing... Bye... Joppa and Charu, good night... "

Vami embraced them both.

" Ok da... bye... good night Vamis... "

They both ran to their houses with a chorus... Vami smiled as she waved them off and entered her house...

When Vami entered, Chandrasekhar was on the phone with someone.

" Mom... we'll leave here the next morning...

No... Everything is prepared for packing... Everything should be completed by tomorrow...

I was preoccupied with transferring everything and the entire business to Philip's name...

If I don't modify everything, I'll have to come here from time to time... Now, I can live at home in peace...

Vami is sad to leave... isn't this the country she's lived in for eighteen years... And she can't take the thought of Maria and Joe being separated from her...

No, she hasn't arrived yet... She stated that she had a party with her buddies on her way back...

Ok mum... I'll contact you tomorrow... And please say hello to Dad and everyone... "

When Chandrasekhar turned around after dropping the phone, he noticed Vami standing behind him...

" Did you come early... How was the party... Did you say goodbye to everyone... "

Chandrasekhar smiled as he gazed at Vami.

" Everything was okay, Dad... I was exhausted after shopping and partying... "

Vami embraced Chandrasekhar...

" We have to pack everything tomorrow, didn't you go to bed early... Phillip and Maria will arrive first thing in the morning.... My darling, good night... "

Chandrasekhar kissed Vami on the forehead...

" Good night, Dad... I adore you so much... "

Vami strolled slowly to her room, had a shower, and lay down on her bed, feeling refreshed...

☆…☆…☆…☆…☆…☆

Vami was awakened in the morning by Joe's loud commotion outdoors...

" Mummy... Papa... "

Vami emerged, hurried, and hugged Maria and Philip...

" We have set aside the entire day today for you, my beloved... I'm not sure when we'll be able to do this again... "

Maria kissed Vami on the cheek and wiped her teary eyes...

" My lovely Maria... You don't make my baby cry by displaying such sensitivity... Isn't she going to see those who have been waiting for her all along... She won't have any problems there... "

Philip chastised Maria with his gaze...

" Whenever my mommy feels that she wants to see me, won't I fly here... Or even if mommy can come there... "

Vami sobbed as she clutched Maria's chin...

" Hello.... If everyone continues to speak, there will be a pool of tears... We have a lot of work ahead of us... Let us rapidly fill all of the bags... "

Charan gathered all he needed to alter the subject...

" Do you want to take all your clothes, little one? You can't wear anything from here if you go there... "

Jeena opened Vami's wardrobe and examined everything...

" I only take some jeans, shirts, t-shirts, long skirts, blouses, pyjamas, sweats etc from that. If I needed anything else, I could get it from there... "

When Jeena heard what Vami said, she took everything out and packed it...

" Take only what you need right now, little one... If you require anything further, we can send it as a parcel there... "

Noel caressed Vami on the head and said.... She smiled at him....

Vami stayed with Joe and his family all day... They managed to finish the entire packing process together...Meanwhile, Maria was feeding her...They frequently wiped their teary eyes, and it pierced her chest... Chandrasekhar brushed away tears as he witnessed their mutual affection... Those who have seemed like family for so long will be split up tomorrow....

They all spent a lot of time playing, laughing, and hugging in order to remember that day for the rest of their lives... They all opted to spend the night in the same residence... Vami had the impression that Charan was trying to tell her something... But he couldn't say anything to her... Anyway, she decided to give him some space he needed...
