*YOUR POV*
In my life of 23 years, it was the 7th time I was getting transferred. Why? Because my dad's job is sort of that.

My name is Drishti and as I said I am 23. I was born in India and spent my whole life here but not in one state. My dad is the manager of a quite a big company because of which he has to travel, and hence the reason of so many transfers. But it's not like he doesn't have time for our family though sometimes he would go in early morning and would come home late at night and I wouldn't get to see him at all. My dad is my biggest strength and has helped me in all things I have done and want to do. But still, my dad is out of the country most of the time. My mom is also a working woman. Sometimes she is home soon, sometimes she is late. I have an elder brother who is currently studying in US. We both are each other's best friends and I miss him a lot.

Another transfer is the last thing I would like to happen. I hated it everytime this happened as I had to leave behind everything, my friends, teachers and memories. But sometimes when there would be a transfer in the middle or end of the academic year, I would request my parents to just postpone it till the end of my exams and they would agree to it. But this time it is different, as I was still in the middle of my 3rd year of university and this time the transfer was not within India but in 'South Korea' though it was in Asia itself. As the transfer was in other country it had to be done as soon as possible and my parents also didn't agree to stay in India till the end of my exams.

I couldn't disagree with them, so we were to shift there by the next week. I wanted to study abroad just like my brother but my parents wanted me to be with them and hence they didnt allow me to go abroad. So this time I was actually happy that I would get to study abroad and then I have heard that most of the universities provide education in English so language wouldn't be a problem.

Everytime there would be transfer I knew sometime later there had to be a transfer again so I didn't get attached to too many people so that it won't become difficult for me to leave the place. I never had a 'love life', though I had a few crushes in my life but everytime the person would end up in getting in a relationship with someone else or would just don't have any interest in me. There were some who wanted to be in a relationship with me but I knew they were here for a 'one night stand' or for money and those things never suited me. I wasn't ugly but I wasn't the most beautiful of all but I was better than those gold diggers or sluts.

"Drishti, come down dinner is ready." "Yes mom, coming."

We lived in a big bunglow and as I needed privacy for myself, I alone had a room on the first floor. There were some other rooms also but weren't used. I went down for dinner.

"Mom I am here." "Have your dinner first and then go sleep as we are leaving tomorrow afternoon." That's what struck me. Tomorrow afternoon. "But mom we were going to leave in a week right?" "Yes dear, but dad had called, he said that we need to leave tomorrow since it's urgent." "Okay mom. So what about our Visa? And where's dad?" "Our Visa has been approved and he will be home soon. I would have dinner with him. Have your dinner and go to sleep." "Okay mom."

I had my dinner but the whole time I was thinking I am finally leaving this country and going to study abroad but why am I so sad, there's not much I am leaving behind. There was no answer to my question. After dinner I went to sleep. I couldn't sleep so I was just thinking what all had taken place in my life till today. I was born in a pretty rich family but I wasn't one of those rich spoiled kid. A driver would drop me to the school, college and university and would pick me up. Never in my life had I got the chance to travel in a public transport. I was pretty good at studies as it was the only thing that could help me build up my career. My parents wanted me to work at the same company where they worked but I had a completely different aim. I have a very loving family and friends but sometimes I just felt lonely because my parents wouldn't be with me because of work and also my friends who wouldn't be with me at the moment but I knew life has to keep going. (Life goes on, Let's live on) Thinking I felt asleep.

~Next morning~

"Drishti! Wake up." My mom shouted from outside the door as usual. I looked at the clock '9 am'. I went to the bathroom in my room and did my daily routine. After that I went down.

"Good morning mom" "Good morning dear. Did you sleep well? Here, have your breakfast." "Yes mom I slept well. I will have my breakfast. Also mom, when are we going to leave?" "We will leave around 12."

After breakfast the time was 10 am. '2 hours and I will be leaving' I thought. I was just relaxing on the couch when I heard the doorbell. I went to the door and opened it. It was F/n. She was a very dear friend to me and I had told her before that I was going to leave the country but I wondered what she was doing here at this moment. The moment I opened the door she hugged me and I was startled.

"What are you doing? Just leave me. You are going to suffocate me." She loosened the grip. "Oh sorry. I was just so sad that you were going to leave me." "I see. But what are you doing here all of a sudden?" "What am I doing here...Let's see." She said taking rounds. "I am here to bid you goodbye as you are leaving." She said taking a seat on the couch making eye contact with me. I just shrugged. "You won't tell me that you are going to leave today. Thanks to your mom who told me that you would leave in a few hours this morning and I came." "Oh I am sorry I just forgot to tell you that I was going to leave today. It all happened yesterday so suddenly I was not in a state of doing anything so I didn't message you." "Yeah yeah, I am not that important to you so why will you remember me. I am just no one to you." She rolled her eyes. "Don't you ever..." I looked around, mom wasn't there, thanks to her she told F/n about this. "...fucking say that or I will just kick your ass. You are my best friend, forever and then you have my number. You can just contact me whenever you want. Also I am not leaving the world or going there forever I will come here...maybe..." I said.
It was a deep silence for me because even I wasn't sure if I would ever come back to this place because it never had happened before that I returned to the place I left.

*F/n POV*
Drishti's mom had called the day before that they would be leaving this morning. The atmosphere was getting tensed as she was worried whether she would ever come back or not. "Hey don't ever think about leaving this world. I know you will come back. You will have to come back for me. And then we can just video call each other, you just don't forget me. Let's not talk about it. Okay? Did you do your packing?" "No. I just was going to do it in a few minutes. Come on help me do it."

*YOUR POV*
I wasn't carrying many things. Just some clothes of mine which were my favourite and my diary as I would anyways buy clothes there. Shopping was not something I enjoyed much but sometimes I did. And the diary, it contained all my memories, good and bad ones. I could just never lose it. I had it for a long time.

After packing it was 11:30 so I just came down with F/n. We both knew there was just a minute chance that we would meet again someday but we had the hope that we would.

"Drishti? Is the packing done?" "Yes mom it's done. When are we leaving?" "Just in a few minutes. Have your goodbyes till then." "Yeah mom." Sadness filled in my voice. "Drishti this is for you." F/n said. I looked towards her, she held a simple but very beautiful bracelet. "Wow, it's just so beautiful, you got this for me..." I said nearly in tears. "Oh you fool, just stop crying and take this. Wear this. Whenever you will look at this just remember me and if you miss me too much then just call me. Okay?" She said. "Yeah. I will call you often. I will just miss you everyday now." I said while crying. "No tears. Be happy as you will be living your dream now. I love you. Take care. Bye." I wiped my tears. "I love you too and you also take care.
Bye." I said while waving at her. She left the place. I just looked at her...leaving. I wore the bracelet she bought for me. It fitted me perfectly. She is the best person I could ever have.

~Few minutes later~

"Come on it's time to leave." "Yes mom. The bag is in my room." "You go and sit in the car. The driver would bring it." "Yes mom." I said and went towards the car.

With that we left the place leaving all the memories behind forever.
