Janvi's Pov

After the long flight I am here on the ground on my feet finally. The air here feels so different. It feels strange to be here after 6 years. 6 years ago I moved to New York. 6 years ago everything changed I was so broken back then but look at me now, all changed. Everything changed that night everything. This country has given me so many emotions making me vulnerable again but I masked up my emotions something I have learned in these past years.

I am waiting for Kartik since 15 minutes but this guy is as always late. It was Kartik's plan to give Mahi a surprise. I called him to ask where is he when he ordered me to turn around. I looked back only to get engulfed in a tight hug.

"I missed you so much Chiku".

Yes he calls me Chiku because back then I had chubby cheeks which resembled a Chiku according to him.

I pouted and said "I am not chubby now, okay ?" He chuckled and handed me my favourite  flowers.

"You still remember that lilies are my favourite flowers."

He nodded and signalled me to sit in his car. The driver kept my luggage in the car and we moved towards our destination. Catching up on the 4 years we missed. Yeah we chatted on text but meeting someone in real life and chatting about life is something different. I am so excited to see Mahi's reaction. In an hour we reached to our destination.

In Kamal Nivas Villa

I entered the 'Kamal Nivas' villa. The name of this villa was kept on the name of Mahi's grandfather who just passed away a month ago before the villa was built. We besties have spent a good amount of time here. As soon as I entered I saw dadima (Mahi's grandmother) sitting there waiting for me. I went to take blessings from her and sat beside her.

"Aakhir nikal hi diya na ye goro ne tujhe vaha se." She said and I heard Mahi's dad and mom entering the room while chuckling to the comment passed by her.

(After all, these white people threw you out from there.)

"Mai aapke liye cheesecake leke aayi thi dadima par ab rehne do mai jaari hu vapas." I fake sighed.

(I brought you cheesecake grandmother but let it be I am going back.)

I heard aunty saying "Oh hello you are not going anywhere." She fake glared at me and I smiled at her.
