CHAPTER-1

INDIA, Chennai Airport.

Morning : 7:30 A.M .

"So you won't change your mind" I asked my dad.

"Ofcourse not. It's better to change your mind" he

replied.

"'I'm your daughter remember so my answer is

same".

"Then i cannot interfere in your decision, your wish"

Dad replied.

It's me Priya ,25 years old. I've born and brought up

in'this country. I've never left this country, because

i never had to. But everything will not be same,

sometimes it should change.

I completed Fashion desiqning 2 years before then i applied for the job in famous Jenson& Parker's co, as a designer.

since it is a big company they are not ready to believe a fresher. without experience. So they've asked me to work as a trainee in

one of their branches to prove my talent.

Luckily their branch was in Mumbai and i worked there for two years.

During that years

i've learnt a lot from the seniors there and it analysed me a lot what i should do and not to.

After two years seeing my work ,they were satisfied and gave me the designer post. I'm so happy and worried at same time.

Happiness is i got my desired

job and the worrying part is job place is BARNES, ENGLAND Because my father won't tag along me. Regarding my father his name is Vikrant, he is a ex-servicemen in army. So he loves his country so much and he don't want to move away from this country even for a year. He qave voluntary retirement

when he was shot. He didn't qave up after that since he had degree in psychology he started to give motivational speeches to school & College childrens and in alchol rehabilitation centres. I begged and pleaded him a for a month to move out with me but his answer is "NO"

"Look Dad we can be there for a year and then I'I make some transfer to this place until then you can enjoy the place there. Think it as your vacation".

"This sugar coated words won't work for me

buttercup. Listen sweetheart i know you worked hard

to come here so I won't stop you,But i can't come with you besides, i have my orientation classes i don't want to miss it"

"Whatever dad you are so stubborn ,but one day I'm gonna kidnap you". He chuckled "Good luck with that angel. By the way

whether you've informed Anitha that you are coming there"

"Ummm...no dad i was thinking to surprise by-

suddenly appearing her before" I smiled. .

" But she asked to you inform remember??"

"There will be no kick in that, believe me she is going

to have a heart attack"

"Atleast you have a address of her"

Anitha Sukumar my school best friend. After school she moved to Barnes when she got the scholarship to study her favourite journalism. We were still in contact.

When i told i got the job in Barnes she is upside down. Actually she gave the idea to be a month before the iob so that we can enjoy some quality time together.

And i didn't had any vacation for past two years ,I've thought it as a good idea.

"Of course dad i have it"

•“I need to say a thing buttercup"

"What?"

"You are 25 years old it is the right time to find your love. Don't end like me ALONE" he told with some grief in his voice.

Inervously smiled " Sure Dad ,i won't,i swear" I

hugged him in turn he did. I don't want this moment to move. Suddenly he cried.

"Dad, are you crying ?"

"Of course not, I'm the strongest creature in the world" he wiped away the tears.

The Final announcement to the flight came and it's time to leave.

"Ok sweetie it's your time to leave.

Remember our mantra??" he winked.
