When they both left, I hurried into the house, quickly moving towards the kitchen behind my amma. But I froze in my tracks when I heard my father's rough voice call out from the living room,
"Seetha."

I cried against his chest. Appa tightened his embrace around me and gently stroked my hair for a minute before pulling me back from the hug and cupping my face in his hands. I looked at him with hiccups.
