Whispers Of Magic

Few Months Later

"Coco, can you please let me keep this photo frame and you have a lot of other pictures of us together take them not this one, please!" said Ren as convincingly as she could.

I nodded and continued to pack rest of my stuff which I should take for school. Tani took my pencil bag and a tee to keep it with her.

And meanwhile I find Mike taking this opportunity to take some of my colors and other art materials and keeping them in his bag. I didn't stop him for the first time as I knew I won't need them anyway for now. In fact, I said, "Mi come take this coloring book, I used it when I was your age."

He took it and gave me a broad smile and went to continue with his packing.

Few Hours Later>>

Cleaning up the room and clearing all the things which I decided not to take and packing those stuff in a separate bag for maa to take them with her to our new home.

Maa will be shifting too she is moving in a new apartment with dad now that she doesn't have to be there for me and go around me as I have grown up. I had a pretty cute room there. I have decided the designing of my room in that apartment myself and it's like a dream and its gorgeous, I actually can't wait to go there to spend my holidays and enjoy living in that lavish self-designed and decorated room of mine.

Later that night I spent my time with my girls, only so as to have some more memories to hold on to when I leave. This was our first night stay together, and apparently the last one before I move out of my grandparents.

"I can't believe we are together at night; this seems like a dream." Ren said, with all the excitement in her voice.

I laughed.

Tani exclaimed, "I can agree with you for the first time!"

I laughed harder and they suddenly started tickling me, making me laugh till I cried. And soon we started a pillow fight and laughed till we became out of breath. I could have never been happier than this as I had them right here with me and we were having one of our best days or should I say best night.

And then out of nowhere my pain in the ass brother came, "Aapi can I play with you all, please?" Mi said sleepily.

"Mi, go to maa and sleep, you're sleepy well play tomorrow, I promise, okay?"

"Okay, fine." He replied with a grumpy face and left the room.

Later That Night>>

We decided to watch a movie after negotiating for 10 minutes as to what might be a better movie to watch on our first girls' night together. The night passed like a flickering dream as we laid on each other's lap singing out loud all our favorite songs. And enjoying every moment of this day.

"Chal ab soo jaten hain warna maar padhega subha ko."

"Nahin na, please." Ren said.

"No, I'm not taking an answer as no sleep right now."

It was around five in the morning when we finally decided to call off our night and cuddled together as we fell asleep. That day I dreamt of us together in my boarding school studying and sharing a dorm room for three and having the best time in our school, excelling at group activities as well as individual ones. As we decide to go for the excursion because everyone goes, and we went for shopping together. Where we laughed and we were having our ice-cream cones.

Nani came up stairs and started saying, "Wake up. It's time for breakfast girls!"

Interrupted by the wakeup call, I realized I was dreaming about that. And woke up with a tingly feeling in my heart.

Later That Day>>

I got all my belongings from my room and kept them next to the door. I am supposed to leave day after tomorrow to join in for the new session in Rayn International Boarding School.

I was suddenly way to homesick and sad to leave. I couldn't eat or sleep much that night. Although I have known I would be leaving I didn't know until now that what it meant for me and how everything is about to change.

Two Days Later>>

I went to school in the morning to say my final goodbyes to all my classmates, friends and amazing teachers who've supported me throughout and helped me to excel in education and other activities.

I've never been this grateful for anything else. After all I have spent most of my time here other than home and this is indeed my second home, as I was leaving, I stood and had a last look at my school and left with a pain in my heart, as if I'm leaving a part of me and moving ahead in my life.

I got hold of Mi as I was supposed to bring him along with me while returning home. Ren and Tani accompanied me, and they managed to cheer me up with their lame ass talks and meaningless jokes. Honestly, if it wasn't for me people would think they have lost their head and have no idea what they are speaking about.

"Tu hume wahan jaa kar bhul maat jana, theek hai ?" said Tani. "Warna humlog tujhe wahan se utha kar le ayenge aur fir itna maarenge ke tera sab hosh vapas a jayega." Added Ren.

I laughed and cried at the same time. Hugging them, "tum dono ko kaise bhul sakti hu main, tum dono jaan ho mere aur humsha raoge."

They both cried and hugged me back.

As we stood there in a group hug crying our hearts out till we were out of tears. Finally, I left their embrace and went on hugging Nani and Nana as I cried out, panting out of breath. Maa got me a glass a water, sipping on to it I sat there in the room looking around taking it all in as if I tried to save a picture but in my mind. They all stood right there next to the door wait for me to walk out with them and leave.

I finally stood up and started walking out of the door towards the car where my papa was waiting for me, Mi and maa. Mi ran behind me to sit next to me I the car. I gave quick hugs to everyone for one last time and got in the car with my headphone and iPod. Plugging it in I stared out of the window looking at their faces all smiling to hide out their pain. So, I gave them a smile back. Maa said her goodbyes, as she had tears in her eyes and got in the car. Mi on the other hand was quite excited about moving out even though he was sad to leave nana and nani and gave them a long hug and got in. We waved at them as the car was moving further away till we reached the main road and couldn't see them anymore.

Few Hours Later>>

I woke up realizing I'm in the car and we are heading towards the airport for us to leave. An information sign board said airport 2 km ahead. And I understood that we are about to reach so I took my bag and combed my hair, applied ChapStick and kept my iPod inside. Looking out of the window for the first time in days I felt a little amused that I'm about to go to a new place.

We checked in our luggage and went on towards our gate for our flight. I called up Tani and Ren too keep them updated about my location and plan. Waiting for the departure time I surfed google again and took an intense thorough look at my new school's website and got in some of the details and focused on what I might be liking about my new school.

Later That Night>>

After a not so long flight journey, we were on a cab going to our new home.

Yeah, in between all this I had forgotten that I was about to find out how the house looks. And check out my new room for the first time. We will stay here in Mumbai for a week together, settling in before I join school.

"You should sleep honey; you can unpack tomorrow." Dad said giving me a kiss on my forehead.

"Okay, good night, papa."

"Good night baby girl, sleep tight. In case you need anything don't hesitate to wake us up. Love you." He said.

"Love you too, dad."
