ENLIGHTENING YOUR LIFE

PACKING UP ALL THE MEMORIES.

CHAPTER-2

Dad went to the hospital while mom and I were packing our belongings. We first started with my room. I folded my clothes and arranged them in the suitcase, mom threw my old and short dresses which I cannot continue wearing. I then took out some of my storybooks from my drawer and asked mom to pack them as well. After that, we packed my cosmetics, jewelry, etc. I then picked up my suitcase and moved down towards the living room. I sat on the couch and took a deep breath as mom brought two glasses of lemonade for us. We drank it and then decided that our next target will be mum and dad's room. I stood up from the couch and stretched my arms to relax. We first packed dad's important documents in a folder and then arranged mom's clothes in her suitcase. She asked me to throw the books that were of no use from the shelf and pack our family albums, recipe books, etc. in her suitcase and went to pack her cosmetics and jewelry. While cleaning the shelf I found some of our albums. I saw the pictures thousand of times but I enjoy seeing them again and again. I turned the cover page and an unexpected smile came through my lips as soon as I saw those pictures. The more I turned the pages the more I felt broken from inside. "We will miss Paris honey," mom said hugging me from the backside. I turned to her and hugged her tight, tears escaped from my eyes "I can't leave this place, mom! This place means a lot to me... p-pl-please ask dad to cancel this transferring thing" I said while sobbing. She wiped my tears and said, "this is life sweetheart we have to lose something if we want to achieve something bigger than it!" I nodded and turned back to continue cleaning the shelf, mom too went back to complete her packing from where she stopped...

It was 11.32 pm when we completed packing. Now mom and I were washing utensils and arranging them in a box. "Huff! Last day in the Paris" I sighed. Mom looked at me with her brow raised and asked "who said?" I pointed my index finger to dad who was watching television now. She chuckled and said, "how many times I should say you Wanetta that your dad just likes to mess up with you!" I was a bit confused when she continued speaking "and he was messing with you this time as well... We are leaving the day after tomorrow and tomorrow we are going for a picnic, just to enjoy our last day in Paris. You know what I mean!" I gave her a wide smile and clapped my hands in excitement "packing our memories!" both of us chuckled and walked to the living room. We sat down beside dad and chatted for some time. This was the moment when I forgot my pain of leaving Paris, a place where I was born, a place where I played, enjoyed my life. Though I am leaving this place I have the stars of my life with me who won't let me down at any cost, I had my mom and dad with me and that crazy creature who is known as Irish! I laughed to myself and then walked upstairs towards my room. So that I won't get dark circles. I changed myself into my black nightdress, switched off the lights, and jumped on my bed. I covered my whole body with the blanket so that I won't feel cold later. As soon as I closed my eyes, I fall asleep.

"Please don't... don't hurt him! PLEASE!!! DON'T! He is not at all dangerous... PLEASE" I woke up and recognized that it was a scary dream. But though it was just a dream I felt weird. Why would I be begging someone for not killing that boy whose face was not at all clear to me? And why were they killing him? Was there a reason behind the dream? I shook my head, then checked my mobile, it was 6.00 in the morning. I got up from my bed and slightly opened the door of my room to check that was mom and dad awake till now? "You awake sweetie!" I heard dad's voice who was packing the bag for our picnic maybe! I cleared my throat and said "yeah dad! By the way, when are we going to leave?" He shrugged his shoulder and said "depends on you and your mom. You both never get ready on time!" I sighed and went to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and wore the only dress that I could wear now. I then took my White Round Shape Sling and kept my mobile in it... After five to ten minutes we locked the main door of our house and drove to 'The Seine River'. We sat there and had our breakfast. Then we took some pictures of ourselves. After that, I pleaded mom and dad to drive to 'The Eiffel Tower'. And thank god that they agreed! The whole day enjoyed it, It was nearly 5.00 pm when I got a message from Iry. I clicked on the notification and found her picture. She was standing in  'Parc Monceau'. I then scroll down the pictures that we took an hour before and selected the two pictures I liked the most and sent them to Irish. She then sent me another picture of hers. Oh, competition! I said to myself and started to sent her more pictures of mine...   

Soon we reached the house, changed ourselves into comfortable nightdresses, and went back to sleep... "DON'T" I screamed, and just in a blink of eye mom and dad rushed to my room. "What happened dear!" mom asked. I rubbed my eyes, took a deep breath, and said "it was just a bad dream mom. You don't need to worry. Mom nodded and gave me a small smile. " Well-well if you are wake, go and get ready we need to leave for the airport in three hours" I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I wore my pink solid cotton jeans and a loose white-color shirt. I combed my hair and walked downstairs. We had our breakfast, carried our suitcases and bags to the car, and drove to the airport.

I found Mr. and Mrs. Hudson already waiting for us with Irish. I greeted them and gave a hug to Irish. There were two more families standing with us. Maybe they were other members of dad's team. But the one and the only thing that horrified me was that all the four couples have daughters and that too of the same age! I chuckled to myself and all of us entered the airport... It was almost 12.00 noon when our plane took off. Irish, me, and the other two girls sat in the row. After a few minutes of the awkward silence I decided to talk to them "hey! Myself Wanetta Lewis, and you both?" The one with curly brown hair spoke up "hello Wanetta nice to meet you! My name is Naomi Davis" I gave her a smile and looked to the other one who had the round face, her eyes were beyond beautiful, she smiled and introduced herself "I am Bella Zabel. Nice to meet you all! What about you? Don't you want to say something about yourself?" she pointed towards Irish. "Why not? I am Irish Hudson, I heard that the four of us will be studying in the same school. Hope it will be fun!" All of us nodded in sync.

It was a long way to Vouvant! We collected our belongings and drove to the way of our new houses. Dad and the team decided to buy the houses together in the same place so that we could help each other when needed. This means from now on Irish is not just my best friend but also my neighbor, same with Bella and Naomi. "WOW! It's fantastic" I said. The house was big enough for us to live in it. The walls were designed with a beautiful pattern on it. This time mom and dad decided that they will use the room upstairs and I will be using the room beside the living room. We all then walked to our new rooms and rested for a while. It was a long journey!
