So as I replied to Alex, he made a goodbye to me. He was acting sympathetic and weird towards me . He used to ask around about me. I needed to find out why was so, my family came back from their holiday. My mom ignored me I didn't find my dad. I walked to my room and threw myself on the bed. I looked at the ceiling ,which was my only friend at night. Thanked it for being. I got up and pushed the door and looked for my mom. 'Mom can we talk? '
'What's the matter ?' She said in a hurting tone.
I handed over her a paper. It took about couple of minutes to answer. 'You can go I will fund the money today' she said without any inquiry. I ran to laundry room to pick my clothes as it's time to pack. I took the chair out of my study and placed it just below the cupboard. I knew that there was my suitcase. As I opened the cupboard balancing like a joker on the chair. I saw two suit cases in front. I pulled out the black one and threw it on the floor,hoping it wouldn't break. I jumped off the chair. And opened the case. It had two more bags. I decided to keep the foldable bag and threw the red bag making my room a more messy. I took the case into the huge closet which was half filled as I don't have much clothes. It looked like a boy's closet with only pants,jeans,loose pyjamas and some t-shirts. I selected some of them and gathered all the important stuff I would need. I dropped every thing in my case. Also some candy and some socks. I marked on my calender. Two days to go. I received a message.
Unknown number- hey did you get permission?
Me - who is this?
Unkno.- it's Alex
Me - yes I did ,did you?
Alex - yes, can we meet?
Me - why?
Alex - something important. At the terrece cafe at 7?
Me- ok.
And I shut my phone down. I took out my passport bag which had some more nessecery things and kept it safely above the study. Suddenly my servent called me. I received my debit card . I kept it deep inside the bag. It was six now. I changed into a caprey with a blue tee. And I thought to meet Selwyn on the way . As I opened the door of my room ,there jumped a exited Selwyn,'you going to India?'
Yes I do ,I replied. And we talked further . I looked at my wrist ,it was six fourth. 'I must go now 'I excused myself and left without listening to her.
