Ram looked worried. He asked me, "What if she does anything untoward in Chennai house?"
Ram, Swetha, Anitha and Karthik have gathered in the living room of my house on Sunday morning. Anitha was in bright pink saree. Happiness from within overflowed from her eyes and cheeks. She was busy packing. Swetha was helping her.
I pacified Ram. "Don't worry. Anitha won't ever do it again."
Cab arrived at the gate. Anitha took leave from Ram and Swetha. Karthik took leave from Ram, Swetha and me. We all went to the cab. Once the luggage was loaded, Karthik and Anitha boarded the cab. We all waved at them.
Anitha looked at me and said, "Dad, bye."
I turned to look at Ram standing near me. Ram said, "Bye."
Anitha ignored him. She continued to look at me and said, "DAAAD, Bye."
And then she closed her eyes tight for a fraction of a second and opened them. She tilted her head fifteen degrees to her left and shot her characteristic charming smile at me.
My heart melted and pumped tears into my eyes to blur out her smile as the cab started moving away.
