different –a good breeze, observing the new people
around and so on. It enchants every passenger in its own way, be it
the solo traveler, a family, or a group traveling together. Laksha settled with a bottle of water, still
thinking about the text from Sai. She was wondering whether he was
genuinely concerned or just jealous. Possessiveness, mostly , she thought.
Questions of where this was heading, what to do next, were jostling
in her mind.
    A group
of friends was in her compartment. They were having great fun
teasing each other, and some of them smiled at Laksha. She smiled
back to show she was okay with their fun, and it did not disturb
her. When she saw one of the girls fighting
over the phone with her boyfriend, it felt like a short trailer of
her future with Sai.
    Come what may, let me not
get anxious about my future. For now , it’s just my family and
settling things with Pallavi. It’s been a really long time, I am
not even sure if she is coming to Chennai! If not, I should go
to cbe and meet her , she
thought.
    Laksha’s dad was
waiting at Central
station to pick her up ; he was happy to
meet her after a year. A lot of Desi talks, how happy he was
with her and everything under the sun that he could share with his
daughter was discussed on the way home.
    Happiness is seeing our
parents happy, wow! It feels great , she thought as the taxi entered her
street. She looked out of the window like a Pomeranian, with
a broad grin; she was happy to look at the neighborhood and
notice changes here and
there. It’s nice to be
back after a year.
    “ See there, can you
recognize her, it's your DidiLaksha who used to play
with you when you were a kid,” a lady from the neighborhood approached her with a three-year-old child .
    “ Wow! Chintu! So grown, huh.
How are you sister? How is everything at home?” Laksha
asked.
    “ All good Laksha, looks like
you have put on weight, is it all the delicious food in
Mumbai?”
    “ Hahahaa.. Really? Maybe, I
eat a lot of chaat items and fast food, that’s why,” she laughed
and frowned at the same time.
    “ Lakshh !! Welcome back,how are you
darling?” Laksha’s mom rushed out and hugged her tight.
    “ I’m a great mom, how are
you?” she smiled.
    “ Come in! Let’s talk
properly!” her mom took her into the living room, gave her some
water and went to bring a cup of coffee.
    Laksha was overwhelmed to see her
cousins all gathered to meet her; she had a great time with and,
later, dressed up to go and meet Pallavi. She had lingering
thoughts on how to set things right between them. As she entered
Pallavi’s house, she saw her mom coming out of the
kitchen.
    “ Hi aunty, how are you?” she
asked.
    “ Heyyyyy .. I’mverygood, how are you? When
did you come home? Pallavi never tells me anything; we spoke yesterday over the phone.”
    “ Well! Just a sudden
visit aunty , but she told me that she was coming home this week when I spoke to her a few months back. ”
    “ Yeah, she was, but her
placement schedule is on so she canceled her plan. It will take
months for her to come it seems. ”
    “ What placements aunty?” she
asked.
    “ You sound as if it’s been
years sinceyou spoke to her,” Pallavi’s mom laughed while giving
her a plate of snacks.
    “ No aunty , both of us have
been reallybusy, so we didn’t find much time to
talk . ”
    “ Acha! Even she
hasn’t said much about you in her recent calls,
you talk to her nah! I don’t understand her terms, aptitude
-latitude, something, just talk to her. ”
    “ Fine aunty. I am meeting
some friends today, so it’s time to go, see you later,”
    “ Okay, dear, come for lunch
one day,” Pallavi’s mom smiled.
    “ I will visit the garden and
leave aunty,
bye,” Laksha swiftly climbed the
stairs. The speed is directly proportional
