Joseph stood leaning against the door of his bedroom, now just an empty room. Memories flashed in front of his eyes, the day he and his wife with their 4 year old Neha moved in.

He remembered when the first night in this house, Neha was scared to sleep alone in her room hence she ran into their room to sleep with her parents. In the small cot which had very less space, because her parents gave her the big and comfortable one until they could afford a bed.

He could still hear the sound of them three giggling over Joseph's bedtime story. And the memories were making it even harder for Joseph to move out.

Pa?

Neha comes from behind and places her hand on Joseph's back. He tightly smiles at her, knowing that it was time and they had to leave.

Joseph takes a deep breath and looks around the room for the last time. He takes Neha's hand in his, he remembered the first time he took the same hand that used to be tiny and gave her a tour of their new home.

Only this time, they share a glance of mixed emotions as they walk out of the house together.

Nanga kelambitom, idho veliya aga porom.

( We're about to leave)

Vasundhara is beyond excited and thrilled that her son's marriage is in a week. She cuts Joseph's call and is ready to leave but stops at the doorstep. Vasundhara turns around to have a final look.

The home, that was her solace when life hit hard. The place that gave them shelter and Vasundhara had to work two jobs to pay the rent for. It was now just the way it was when they first came in, the furniture's have all been sent to their new house. There were only a few more things which will also leave once Vasundhara and Siddharth head off to kerala. They will be leaving this place forever.

Ma?

Siddharth called in concern, keeping his hand on Vasundhara's shoulder. She took a deep breath and smiled, accepting the fact that they were on their way to the next chapter of their lives.

She knew that even though they were leaving, this house would always be a part of her.

Adhu verum veedhu dhan ma.

( they're just walls)

The bond Siddharth and his mother shared is beyond any four walls. It never needed a dependent for, it will always be there, stronger day by day no matter what happens or where they live.

He encouragingly smiled at Vasundhara as she hooked her hands around his arm and the walked away from their first home to embrace the one they were yet to cherish.

Siddharth's head spun at Alice's aarti circling skills.

Yenna mapla idhukae thala suthuna yepdhi?

( How can your head spin just with this?)
