When abba jan told me about his plans of sending me abroad, I was extremely happy but on the other side my ammi was shedding countless tears. After an hour of explaining the matter to I and my mother, my father finally concluded that I would be leaving for the states after 45 days.
My mother still objecting the "SENDING ME AWAY" propaganda. It was hard for her obviously but it was in my best interest. Sometimes she would often break up in front of me and say,"My only daughter is going away from me. The NOOR (light) of my eyes, the charm of this house will be leaving us. How will I bear this?
And I will always say,"amma do you not want your daughter to be a successful woman?"
With this she would calm down. I know it is hard for her,but come on, how am I going to be an independent lass if I am stuck here for my whole life?
As the days of my departure were coming close, the more excited I was becoming. I was to attend the ARCHBISHOP RIORDAN HIGH SCHOOL in SAN FRANCISCO, the best in the city. I had heard so much about this school and always dreamt of attending it. My dream was becoming true at last. And the cherry on top was that I was granted a scholarship. Yes a freaking scholarship!
The night before my departure, I was lying on my bed, thinking about the life ahead. Will it be difficult? Or will it be as easy as a pie? Will I survive there? But then excitement got the better of me. I thought about having the FREEDOM I never had, the lifestyle I always dreamt of, the new people, the new place, the new feeling of being independent. I kept on thinking until the warmth of my blanket forced me to sleep and I entered dreamland.
