Neha saw her 8 years of life being packed up in boxes and suitcases. She packed everything carefully, remembering the times they had bought things together for their home. The excitement of buying a couch, coffee table or their first dinning-table of their choice and decorating their home with utmost detail and love. All packed up! 

 Neha and Karan bid their good-byes to their family and friends at home. They made it a point that no one comes to the airport to drop them. The pain of  saying byes at the airport was something Karan knew, was overwhelming for Neha. He had seen Neha cry inconsolably at the airport, by just looking at other families parting. 

With 4 suitcases and  hearts swelled with emotions and eyes gleaming with tears of sadness, joy and hope, they reached the airport. 

" I am having a cold feet Karan. I can't do this. What about my parents? What about your parents? What if they need us and we aren't there? No! No! I need to be there for them. Shit! I'm going back, you please board the flight. I'll meet you after a couple of months" said Neha. 

Karan sat  smiling through this entire episode of panic. He knew she just needs to vent it out. "It's alright babe. Everyone goes through this. You just need to breathe!" Karan comforted her holding her hand and also to make sure that she actually doesn't run-away. 

To distract her, he reminds her to update her Facebook status, she does so ,but with reluctance. Messages from acquaintances and family start pouring in! This makes it even more real for Neha. 

After 8 hours of flight, they finally land in a new country which they were now to call home. Starting a whole new life, is something that Neha didn't think through in her desperation. 

Did she make a mistake? Or is it going to be the beginning of a whole new adventure called life?
