"winter clothes? Check. Summer dress? Check. Causal clothes? check. Footwears according to clothes? Check. Accessorizes? Check. Bags and purses? Check. Food from my great Mother? Check and packed. Packing done!"
"but Piku there's no place for my books."
"You do need another bag for that but that will overweight the luggage."
"Can I remove some clothes and footwears? That's a lot."
"No!"
"Please please."
"let me see how much books you want to take?"
"Semester research books and mine Sarah J. Maas collection. Rest courses book are available there at university for use."
"Sarah J. Maas collection? OH! I remember that's how you and Aron met. At the book club party. How cute. Fine I will sacrifice one pair of shoes and fany pack for the books."
"Thank you so much."
"I know."
"I promise to annoy you by texting and calling all the time."
"I will very much like that."
"Girls we have to leave in thirty minutes for the airport. All set?"
"Yes, Rajan."
"Good. Let me carry this downstairs."
"Thank you so much Rajan."
"Maa and Paa can't come to see you at the airport today as there is some relative visiting at home today but they did send you warm wishes."
"Thank them for that and delicious snacks."
"Let's go now, Rashi."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aron and I agreed not to say goodbye but I really want to see him right and hug him tight before I leave. Why I thought I will be good idea? Rajan and Piku sat at front while Me and Jay sat back side in the car. Ms. Henna greeted on the way. I am going to miss my favorite neighbor the most over there.
"Rashi?"
"Yes, Jay."
"You already know but I am saying it again that I will there if you need me, I will go where ever you go, right?"
"Jay?"
"Yes."
"I know but you have to make it own your own. You know that, right?"
"I do. I promise I'll not run away this time."
"In case if you feel to run away and I am always available."
"Stop making me cry now. I was happy my cookie thief is leaving,"
"I packed all your cookies with me. Deal with it."
"You didn't."
"I did."
"Those cookies won't last forever. You have to eat your own poison food."
"I make the best good."
"You don't."
"Rashi. you might not know this but day you told the news, Jay ate everything you cooked." Rajan laughed saying and Jay face other way around.
"You are so cute, Jay." I squeezed his cheeks.
"Rajan drive fast, I can't wait for her to leave and I'll deal with you later."
"By the way Shweta called last night. You were asleep." Rajan said.
"She did?"
"Yes."
"She promised to meet us next year soon with her baby."
"That would be great."

We reached at the airport and shared hugs. I boarded on the plane and there were no texts from Aron. Miss Jeremy and I took our bags and went inside. I guess he took my words pretty tight. It's okay. I will call him when I will reach. I breathe in and out.
I found my seat which was away from Miss. Jeremy. I put on eye mask, pretending to sleep so that people would leave me alone.
There was someone who came and sat next to me. I sense a strange feeling that I am being stared not that strange feeling. They announced that flight will take off in ten minutes and told us to put the seat belts on. Before I could remove my eye mask the stranger next to me put on my safety belt on me.
"You can pretend to asleep. It's okay." He said.
It was Aron. oh, God. I have officially lost it. I want to scream, jump, and hug him.
He is here next to me. But why is he here? on the plane that is taking off.
"let the plane take off. I will tell you everything later."
He took my hand in his and smiled.
____________________________________________________________
"You are on the plane?" I poked him to see if he is really here.
"Oh God. You are real. I am not hallucinating?"
"No, you're not." He kissed my forehead.
"You are here for real."
"Yes."
"But ----"
"We agreed on not saying goodbye but I want to see you badly and this doesn't mean goodbye. It's a meet up on the airplane."
"You are coming along?"
"I wish but no. I am spending time with you. The flight is 23 hours long and I am here to meet you."
"I am out of words."
"I thought you would be anxious till you reach and goodbyes or farewell words things are just not enough to put your mind at ease. So, just relax your head on my shoulder and your hand in mind."
"Mr. Aron?"
"I think I just fell in love with you."
"Huh?"
"I know we decided to take it slow but these feelings are increasing rapidly and I don't think that I can like you anymore, I love you Aron."
"I love you too Rashi and thanks for loving me."
The 23 hours passed by so rapidly and we part our ways. He went back and I started my new journey to the life. Never in my life I thought I would get this lucky. There is still a placid feeling inside but I guess I will overcome that by living one day and other by knowing that life will be good sometime.
Dear God, thank you so much for looking out for me. This is a new place and this time I have to make it own my own.
