CHAPTER 5
"Mom, it's 7 years now. I haven't been to Mumbai from the past 7 years. Please let me go. I want to meet my friends. Please mom" She pleaded. "No, Sharon, you can't. I can't send you there all alone". "but mom, I'm old enough to go alone. Please try to understand. "No Sharon, as I have said, you are still a kid and I won't allow you going allow. That's my final decision" "Fine" Sharon said annoyed. She went to her room and took out a photo from the cupboard. "I miss you Swayam. it has been 7 long years years that I haven't seen you. I really wish everything would have been normal. I don't even know whether you remember me or not. Maybe you have got someone better after I had gone. Maybe you have forgotten that a girl named SHARON' even existed. Sorry, I just wish that I would have there, with you, enjoying my life to the fullest. I so want to meet you, but my mom is not allowing. How do I make her understand that I'm big enough to take care of myself. Anyways, I will surely come back to you. Just to get my love back." She smiled a little and kept the photo back. She went to her bed and picked her phone up. She saw a message from her friend Kria. It read -
"Hi babes! I have got a good news. Got a job in Mumbai. Will be leaving 2mrw afternoon. Wanna accompany me? ;) ;)"
Her happiness knew no bounds. Her mother trusted Kria so much. And now that she is going to Mumbai, she can go with her. Yes, yes, yes, thanku so much universe ji, she thought, you are the best. She was grinning wide. She rushed to her mother's room and shouted "Mom". "yes, what is it? I hope it's not about Mumbai, because my answer will remain same. I will not send you alone." "Fine mom, but what if someone accompanies me?" Sha asked "Who?" "Kria" "Kria is going to Mumbai?" "yes mom, she has got a job there. Now you can send me, please. I will complete my higher studies from there only and I will live with Kria only." "I'll think about it" "mom, you don't have time to think, she is leaving tomorrow. You have to tell me now. Please mom, please" She pleaded. "Ohk Fine, you can go, but I'll talk to Kria first" "ya sure mom, you talk to her. I'll go inform her and then do the packing."
She was jumping around the house. She was damn happy!
She called Kria. "hey, Kria" "Hi Sharon! Ssup?" "nothing, just wanted to give you a piece of new" "ya go on" "I'm accompanying you" "ok ... wait what? U serious? Aunty allowed. Oh my god! I'm just so happy. I thought she will not allow. Yaaayyy! You are going to come with me. We will stay together and do lots of fun. I'm so glad that aunty allowed you." "Kria, Kria get a break! She's going to call you up to confirm, so be ready for a questionnaire" "ya, fine. I'll tell her all the details. Btw, you're lucky" "how?" "dumbo, now you are going to meet HIM after so many years. You definitely are lucky. I just hope I too get someone" " Kria, you are such a sweetheart. You'll find him soon" "hmmm" "anyways, I'll message you the timings and all. You start your packing. Just keeping the basic things, rest all would be available there." "ok" "then bye. Talk to you after some time" "bye".
They hung up. Sharon was feeling contented. Kria had messaged her the timings and the plan. She stood and went to pack her thing up. At that point of time, many things were revolving in her mind. She thought, how will she find Swayam? How will he react seeing her? Has he forgotten her or he still remembers? Will he forgive her? Will he be angry? And the questions go on and on ... but one thing was clear, that she was going to try her best to get her love back. With that she finished her packing and went to sleep.
Next day at the airport. Both, Sharon and kria bid bye to Sharon's mother and boarded the plane. Kria saw the tensed look on Sharon's face. "Everything is going to be okay. Don't worry" "hmm, I hope so!" "think of good things and don't take any tension. And also think of the new friends you are going to make there. Be happy" "yes. Just trying to do that" Both smiled at each other and then continued with what they were doing.
