Heart filled with emotions, mind in dilemma unable to decide whether to choose work and career living alone or going back and live with people without whom she can't survive. She had never lived alone. A homesick girl who slept with her mother's arms tightly bound around her giving a sense of security and protection. Her father dropped her daily so she never faced the troubles of traveling alone. Her elder brother who protected her like a thick dense tree and supported her in all times. Her extended family had many kids who played around her giving her a sense of joy and happiness. She was a person who never ate others lunch just because no lunch could beat the taste her mother offered. It was not easy for her to leave home and live alone.
The responsibility of being independent seemed to be a burden to her. The thought of washing clothes, managing daily stuff, sleeping alone, eating dry chapatis and tasteless food scared her. But, being strong she just prayed and asked for strength.
She silently bid farewell to her family with tears rolling down her cheek and decided to take up the responsibility that was yet to come with her living independently.
