As she woke up from her nap around 1 o'clock, Meera's eyes felt heavy with unshed tears. The silence of her new home overwhelmed her. She missed her family.

With trembling hands, Meera dialed her parents' number.

"Maa..." Meera's voice cracked.

"Beta, how are you?" her mother asked, concern evident.

Meera broke down, tears streaming. "I miss you all so much."

Her mother's soothing words calmed Meera. "We're just a call away, beta. Adjusting to a new home takes time."

Meera sniffled. " but...I feel lost."

"Give yourself time, Meera," her father advised. "You'll make new friends, find new routines."

Meera nodded, feeling better.

"Call us anytime, beta," her mother reassured.

After the call, Meera took a deep breath and began getting ready, for muh dikhai ceremony.
