"Dona" my mom yelled as I hear her loud voice from my room upstairs. "I'm coming" I shouted from my room..
When I went downstairs I found my mom holding an white envelope in her hands.
"Babe, this a letter from the Collage of Staten Island" my mom said looking at the address on the envelope.
I was so nervous because I always had a dream of getting admission in that college with biology major and pretty much I didn't hope to get a seat there but I so wanted to go there.
My mom handed me that envelope and told me to open it. I'm so damn tensed that I feel like i'm gonna throw up any minute.
"But mom, why don't you open it" I said hoping that if she was aware of what was going on in me and if possible, she could oblige to open it for me.
"I know what are you thinking babe but don't worry if you don't get a seat there, we'll try some other college here" she told me with a small hint of smile on her face.
I looked at her and I smiled at her.
"Okay, I'll open it" I said taking the envelope.
When I open the envelope, I burst into tears. My mom's looked pretty confused.
"What's written in it?" my mom asked pretty concerned.
I finally burst out with all the joy I had in me "Mom! They've choosen me and I'm going to my dream place where I've always wanted to be". I can see tears of joy streaming down her cheeks. She looked so happy and pulled me into a tight hug.
"I knew you'd make it" my mom said through her sobbing. "I'm so proud of my little girl. I love you so much" she said.
"I love you too" i said finally releasing from her hug.
I was so happy but sad at the same time. The thought of leaving my family and going abroad for studies made me sad. I decided to call my best friend and tell her everything. She was my everything. She knew everything about me and my life. And so do I. I'd also miss hanging out with her. So I called her up.
"Hey Lisa" I said while crying with an excited voice.
"Hey Dona, what happened? Are you okay?" she asked confusingly
"Yes everything's fine. I've a good news to tell you" I said.
"What? So you finally got a boyfriend" she said jokingly
"Shut up idiot! First listen to me" I said almost smiling on her jokes. "I've got an admission in the Collage of Staten Island and I'm going there next week".
" Wow! Congrats baby" she said.
I can already feel that she's sad.
"Hey why don't you come over this weekend at my place and we'll spend time together?" I said hoping for a yes coz she remains busy all the weekend staying in the house completing assignments or going out with her bf.
"Great! Sounds fun" she said. I can feel the happiness in her voice. So we both decided the time and things that she'd bring over coz I planned for a sleepover.
She came at my place and we both had so much fun together. Going out for movies, eating whatever we like, inviting more friends at my place, shopping and sleeping in the same room (in separate beds though :p). Never realised how the weekends passed by so quickly and the more sad I became. My best friend returned back to her home and before leaving my home she bid goodbye to everyone and tears started streaming down my cheeks. I never felt so sad in my life before. She pulled me into a tight hug and started crying too.
"Hey don't forget me. I know once you're there you'll make new friends but still" she said while crying on my shoulders.
"Are you fucking crazy? How can I forget my best friend with whom I've spent my lives most memorable moments with?" I make sure not to break down still thinking all those lovely days spent with her. I feel warm tears again flooding down my eyes but I quickly wipe it off before she sees it and starts crying again. We both release from our hugs and promise to meet again soon.
"I'll video chat with you so that you don't miss me much" I said half joking.
She playfully shoved me and said "Sure! I'll wait for it. Miss you so much. Love you. Take care."
We hug again and she finally bid goodbye. I didn't want this moment to end, I mean I'll miss her so bad already.
It was 18th April, the day I've to bid goodbye to my loved ones. It's a 3 years course there and the thought of remaining separate with my family made me cry. I woke up early that day. I had my breakfast and made sure to spend most of the remaining time with my family. My flight was at 2 pm. My dad was going to accompany me till there. At 11:30 I got ready with all my things packed in and waited for my dad to get ready. It's a 2 hour road to the airport from my house without much traffic.
"Have you taken all your necessary things?" my mom asked me coz I keep forgetting things.
"Yeah. I have them all ready" I said putting on my pair of converse shoes.
"I'm ready. So we better get going otherwise we'll miss the flight" my father said grabbing the wallet and the phone from the table.
"Study and work harder. I know you'll do great and the most important thing, believe in yourself. Never loose hope. I love you so much and I'll miss you" my mom said while tears glide down her cheeks.
"I'll always keep that in mind and I'll miss home made foods" I said not trying to cry coz it'll make her even more sad.
"Love you so much ma. Miss you too!" I tell giving her a tight hug. It felt so comfortable as it was the first time I'm going to stay away from her for this long fucking years. She planted a small kiss on my cheeks and I did the same.
I bid everyone goodbye and I climbed inside the cab. My dad did the same.
After 2 hour on the roads, we finally reached the airport around 1:25 pm.

At Airport

I saw people busy going in and out of the airport.
My dad paid the cab driver and helped me out with my bags.
We went inside and after the checking was done, we both took a seat and sat. It was 1:30. After a few minutes, I heard the annoncement of our flight.
"All passengers whose going to USA, come at gate 2" a voice came from the box.
We both quickly reach at gate 2 and finally after checking our bags and stuffs we get into our flights.

It was somewhat a 20 hours and 15 minutes journey. We finally reached around 10pm the next day (acc. to USA). We decided to stay at a hotel until my dad got me into that college.
"Ugh, I hate jetlags." I groan as my whole body seems to break down with pains.
"It'd get fine. Just have some good rest today" my dad tells me as he begins to unpack his clothes from his bags to take a shower.
I lay in bed thinking what my mom is doing now.
I dialled her number and wait for her to pick up the phone.
"Hey mom! We have reached here and dad is taking a shower" I say going upto the window of the bedroom where I stand enjoying the beautiful view of the city at night.
"Good. I was thinking the whole time about you both and now I'm relieved" she said.
"Don't worry, we're fine here. Take care mom. Talk to you later. Gotta go. Love you" as I hung up the phone and heard my dad calling for me.
"Yes dad!" I said looking for him and saw him in the drawing room.
"We're gonna look up the places here tomorrow and gather some info so it won't be a problem to get to the college the day after. Is it okay with you?" my dad asked me as I get ready for my shower.
"Yeah. That'd be great." I said and went to the shower. After taking shower, we both had our dinner and went to sleep.
