"Of course, I'll take care of myself chachi ji (aunt), I'll miss your delicious cooking" Replied samaira, trying to cheer her up.
"Then what about me?" Questioned mahima, coming towards them.
"Of course maa, I'll miss your taunts" Replied samaira with a playful smile.

"Okay, keep this in your luggage, I'll have kept all the necessary items in this" Stated mahima showing a green colour bag.
"Thanks maa and don't worry about me!" Replied samaira offering a reassuring smile.
"Whatever, You are taking decisions on your own, Not even discussing it with parents" Expressed mahima with a sad pout.
"Maa, I'm sorry for not saying it beforehand, but maa, please trust my decision. I'll try to return as soon as possible" Replied samaira, taking her palms into hers.
"Okay, I understood" Stated mahima, averting her gaze.
"Maa, You're looking beautiful today, Did you apply the cream I gave you?" Joked samaira, trying to change the atmosphere.
"You're becoming naughty day by day" Stated mahima, playfully grabbing her ears, which elighted chuckles from others.
"Maa, It's hurting" Replied samaira, playfully faking her pain.
"All the best samaira, Study well" Stated mahima, cupping her face.
"Okay maa" Replies samaira, side-hugging her, her eyes sparkled with warmth.
All of their hearts swelled at the sight of samaira & mahima.
"Okay now, Samaira it's late already, pack your luggage properly, don't forget anything, and we're are going, call me if you need anything" Stated mahima, wiping her tears.
"Yes, It's late already, Let her rest" Saying this nalini, rajvansh, Advik, mahima retreated to their rooms.
With a sigh, Samaira closed the door and looked around the room to check if she missed anything to pack.
Her gaze fell on the purple squishy, which is on the cupboard.
"What should I do with you? Should I abandon you here?" Spoke samaira looking at the squishy with a sigh.
"Stay here" Saying this samaira placed the toy on the upper cupboard.
After some moments of packing, She changed into some comfortable pajamas.
After laying on the bed, her eyelids felt heavy and soon sleep consumed her.
