As soon as I heard the plane was about to land, I got myself together.

The plane finally landed. It felt like stepping into the opening pages of an unwritten adventure, a mix of excitement, anticipation, and curiosity swirling around me as I explore the unknown.

Papa has already bought a house for me, I did resist with this idea, but nobody in my house listened to me.

I had always wanted to be an independent woman, building her own life from scratch, but everything comes with it's own pros and cons, for me, being a rich kid had its cons too.

I rushed to airport, finally called my mum.
She picked it up in one go.

"Are you out of your little brain, Virika?" She yelled, literally yelled.

"I am sorry mumma, I didn't realise I was lost." I apologized. I almost broke down in tears. Realising I did not even get a chance to say bye to them, it hurt me alot in my heart.

"But I did manage to get in the flight at the right time." I hid the part where I was almost kidnapped.

"We were so worried, Viru." As these words came from the other end, an alone tear escaped my eye.

"I-i am sorry, please mumma, Meko wapis aana hai." I sobbed.

"Viri, let this thought get out of your mind. Go and settle yourself down in the house, I am sending you the location." She seemed gloomy.

"Ah, nahi please" I requested.

"No, I won't be listening to your pleas." She demanded.

"Fine." I negotiated.

I took out my luggage, I knew it was mine as I had tied a cute little pink bow around the handle.

As soon as I held the handle of the suitcase, my phone vibrated, I lifted it up and saw my mother's notification ping up.
She sent me the location. Too quick she is.
I was suddenly struck with the realisation, that none will handle my tantrums, care for me like my mother does.
A heat wave ran through my nerves.

I got out of the terminal and opened my phone, to book a cab.
I saw Ann Arbor's map despite of Chandigarh's map.

Even my phone was now slapping reality checks at my cheeks.

I filled the location.
I was waiting for my uber to arrive.
I scrolled on Instagram, even my fyp knew my exact situation.
"Fuck it" I rambled under my breath.

In that time, my uber had arrived.
I sat in the car. Told my pin to the driver.

The driver was a bit old, he seemed so genuine.
He knew I was an abroad student, he must be encountering many students like me.

He tried his best to give me the basic information about the city, and how things work here.
I was so overwhelmed by his sweet nature snd generosity.
