Coming down the stairs she went to the dining hall and greeted, "Good morning everyone!" her voice was full of energy unlike morning, lazy and clumsy.
"Good morning princess", said Edoardo Bonanno. He was a man full of energy no one could tell that he was in his late 70s but everyone would tell he was in his late 50s. He was very happy because his grandchild was going for a new challenge. He knew that his granddaughter was not like other rich children, spoiled brats, or even dumb who could and had to rely only on their family status and money.
"Good morning Princess", Ekansh exclaimed. He was 19 years old, one year older than Jenie. He was also studying business in the same college as his sister. He was both smart and handsome, but not as much as his sister because she was good at both pen and sword. He was also in the business world and helped Adhira. His company name was 'The New Way'.
“Good morning", said Virginia. He was 18 years old and was in the same college as John and Jenie but in IT. At the age of 17, he invented a chip and it had become famous now, everyone in the world knew him. He was also smart and intelligent and most importantly handsome.
"Good morning naughty", said Atharv excitedly. He was 19 years old and was in the same college as and he owed the 'Ash Corporation'. Actually, Atharv and Ekansh were identical twins. And both were handsome.
Meanwhile, Kashvi came back after completing her prayer. Adhira wished good morning to Zia, Virginia's mom, who was in the kitchen until now after coming back from Adhira's room giving instructions.
Zia: Princess, are you leaving?
Adhira: Yup...!
Zia: Aren't you going to miss us?
Adhira: No... I am not a child anymore who can't live without her family.
Zia: Are you leaving?
Adhira nodded. And hummed, "Yes!!"
Zia: Are you serious? If not then please be!!
Adhira: More than this I can't be serious Zia.
Adhira knew that they were sad not because they talked to her in a sad tone but because she knew them too well. As you all know Adhira was the apple of the eyes of her family and now she was not only going to leave again, with her biological brothers but also was going to that place where her nightmares started. So Zia was worried.
By hearing Adhira, every maid in the dining room, Atharv, Ekansh, Edoardo, laughed out loud. I know that you guys are suspicious of what's going on and why Zia is asking those questions. It was because she was leaving Toronto today and going to India to lead a low-key life, I mean only in college as she didn't want to be the center of attractions. She just returned from Sydney after graduating from High school and was already leaving.

***FLASHBACK***
Two days ago...While having dinner with everyone.
Adhira: Bro I want to study business.
Atharv: Great! Where do you want to study? Is it the top business college in Toronto or New York or in San Francisco? Tell me I will arrange everything for you. Just tell me.
Adhira: In.... in... in India.
By hearing her reply, everyone was stunned. Ekansh lifted a spoon filled with food in his mouth but it fell on the plate hearing her as he was shocked. Virginia who was originally drinking water coughed heavily by her reply. After a second of recovering from the shock, everyone stopped eating and Grandad asked her, "Why?". He asked her because of her past. They moved to Toronto when she was just four.
Adhira: Be...Because I want to live with them. (she said looking at her brothers.)
Virginia: Is that so?
I know you guys will ask why he asked this question as if he knew her very well. So for your kind information, yes. He knew her very well since she was born, after their parent's accident, and especially after a certain incident. No matter how much ups and downs happened to her in these past 18 years of her life he was always with her. Her childhood was nothing but a mess that irritated her.
Adhira: Yes.
Atharv: Okay... Then how about me, Ekansh and Ishann move here?
Ishann was Virginia’s Indian name.
Adhira: NO...! Absolutely not!!
She immediately responded. Everyone went silent again. After a silence of a few seconds finally, Adhira broke the silence.
"I want to go there and lead a low profile in college. As you all know that everyone knew Grandad had a granddaughter but no one knew who she was and they did not even know the name. So, I have decided I want to go means I want to go."
Yup! Everyone indeed knew that he had a granddaughter and three grandsons but nobody had seen their faces and even her best friends-brother face too. They didn't even know the names. They didn't go to any banquet or even any business party. If they were to then it did not consist of any camera or no one was allowed to take their pictures and on top of that, they use masks to cover their faces. If they take pictures it become blurred because of personal protection.
Atharv asked gently, "But what about your past? What about-". He was interrupted as Adhira said, "Big bro what do you think that I cannot handle anything, not even me now. I know very well what happened in the past. But if I am not strong enough then I wouldn't be standing here all good right now."
By seeing her determination nobody said anything but continued their dinner. At the end of the dinner Granddad said, "Okay... you can go... But on one condition and that is, you want to keep a low-profile no problem. but you have to live with Atharv, Ekansh, and Ishann".
Hearing this Adhira nodded and jumped from her seat and went to hug her granddad smilingly and said, "Granddad you are the best...!"
Her friends and grandma were shocked after hearing the reply of Edoardo Bonanno. The more shocked were Kashvi and Luna because they always treated Adhira as their own child.

***FLASHBACK END***
Adhira: Yup...! I am very serious.
Kashvi: Okay... You never listen to us.
After having breakfast they get to the car. But you all know how moms are. Kashvi was continuously crying and seeing this Adhira felt clenched to her heart and Luna’s eyes became teary too as she was the most emotional one, after losing her best friend which was Adhira’s mom. Their friends were consoling them but it was of no use. Kashvi hugged her Princess tightly when Ekansh said, "Grandma she is not getting married now and leaving us... Don't cry like that." On hearing that she nodded lightly and loosened the hug. They leave for the airport while Edoardo and Kashvi wave their hands with Adhira’s friends along with Luna. The rest of her family, her brother like friends, were currently out of station so they could not say goodbye to her.
As they were passing by she saw the trees and cars passing by. She mumbled inwardly 'Goodbye Toronto'. After they went to the airport, they took their seats and the flight took off. It was a private jet. As you know how rich the Bonanno family were no one could compete with them, well except one.
The flight took off. Now the four children of the Bonanno were no more in their villa so it became quiet too. Adhira became quiet because in her life of 18 years she never left her friends after meeting them. Even when she was in boarding school they accompanied her.
Now that she was leaving the country she was quite sad but who knows what will happen?
