Pov: Advika

"Mom! Mom!" I shouted to find her.

"I'm at the terrace . Advi!" She shouted so that I could hear her.

"Mom, I need to talk to you."

"Yeah, go on. I'm all ears, Advi. " She said in a confused look.

"Mom, I'm sorry. You might scold me for what I'm saying to you. Mom, I fell in love with my college senior. He proposed to me, and I came to know we had mutual feelings, so I accepted him. I loved him, ma. I loved him." I tried to hold back my tears

" Today, he asked me to get a pen from his bag. I searched for a pen from his bag while searching. I found drugs, ma. I questioned him, 'Are you addicted to drugs?'" I paused while my mom had a straight face. I can't guess what she thinks about me.

" He replied,' You already know the answer.' and he said i can't run away from him. I'm scared, ma. I need to get out of this place. Let's leave the country and go to  dad. He is waiting for me. I think the break I took is more than enough, ma. Let's  head back to our home.  I feel safe there, ma." I replied.

" I knew you were acting strange, but I didn't guess you are suffering so much." Mom hugged me and kissed me on my right cheek.

Somehow, I feel relieved by sharing my wrong choice and my wrongdoings with him.

" Mom.. when are we leaving the country?? I need to meet my dad soon.. I miss him a lot, and I am ready to meet him. I forgive him, ma. He has done many illegal things, but he protected me, ma. He protected me from the danger. " I ended my statement and am waiting for her reply.

" I already arranged for our return because....." She paused,

"I'm missing him a lot, Advi. I'm about to tell you we are flying back, but I'm afraid you might deny me. I know you still have the nightmares. He is know more but I need to live my last days with him. " Mom paused.

"Mom, you don't have to explain me. Let's leave as soon as possible. He will be happy to see us." I replied by hugging her tightly.  The hug feels like a heaven for me.

We headed to the airport in the early morning at 2:00 am because our flight is at 4:30 am and we need to be early for boarding the flight.

We are heading to the São Paulo. Yeah, my past and my future belong to São Paulo.

We entered the business class. I took the window seat. Mom took a seat beside me. Now, it feels like I'm returning to the home where I belong.

Mom managed to get a transfer certificate from my college, and she applied for the São Paulo University so that I could continue my college.
