NIYA'S POV:-

As I drove through the early morning streets, the world around me was still shrouded in darkness. The only light came from the headlights of my car, illuminating the road ahead of me.

The air was crisp and cool, and the silence was only broken by the sound of my tires on the pavement. It was peaceful, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of calm wash over me.

I love the early morning hours, when the world is still asleep and it feels like it's just me and the open road. There's something about the solitude that feels freeing, and I can't help but feel a sense of excitement at the possibilities of the day ahead.

As the sun began to rise, the world around me started to come alive. The sky turned a deep shade of pink and orange, and the trees were illuminated with a golden glow.

I took a deep breath and smiled, feeling grateful for this moment of peace and beauty. The early morning hours may be quiet, but they are filled with magic and possibility. And as I drove on, I couldn't wait to see what the future had stored for me.

As I pulled into the airport parking lot, my nerves started to kick in. I had never flown by myself before, and the thought of navigating an unfamiliar airport filled me with anxiety. But I took a deep breath and reminded myself that I was strong and capable. I could do this.

"Hello" I spoke as the other end received my call.

"What is it?" 

"Maa, I reached the airport." I tried to inform, but my mother cut me in between.

"So? Do you want me to fly the plane for you or something?" I heard my mother scoff.

"No Maa, I called to inform you that, I have parked the car in the parking space. There is an spare key in my room, so please pick my car" I sighed, my heart was heavy with emotions.

"You could have taken a taxi, why did you take the car? All you do is trouble." She spoke, irritation visible in her voice.

"Maa, taxi strike is going on. How will I be able to get a taxi?" I spoke calmly even if I wanted to scream.

"All you know, is to back answer me" 

"Maa" 

"You know what!! Let it be, just keep the call. I'll pick the car and trouble your sister." with that she ended the call. Leaving me with tears in my eyes. 

I took a deep breath as I made my way through the airport, following the signs to my terminal. As I approached the security checkpoint, a uniformed officer stopped me. "May I see your ID, ma'am?" he asked, his voice gruff.

"Of course," I replied, handing him my ID. He looked at me before comparing my face to the picture on my ID. "You're good to go," he said, handing my ID back to me and waving me through the metal detector.

As I sat on the bench waiting for my flight, I couldn't help but feel a sense of exhaustion wash over me. Airports have a way of draining your energy, and I couldn't wait to sit in a comfortable plane seat and close my eyes for a few hours.

"Where are you heading to?" a woman my sister's age asked me as she sat down next to me.

"I'm going to California to meet my sister," I replied, smiling at her. "How about you?"

"Me too," she said, her face lighting up with excitement. "I haven't seen my sister in almost 10 years. I can't wait to finally be see her."

"I'm Ramya, by the way" she stretched her hand out for a handshake.

"Niya" I shook her hand with a broad smile on my face.

Then I saw a little girl around 4 years old sitting beside her, with her cheeks filled with air. I couldn't help but laugh, which caused the little girl to turn her gaze towards me and squint her eyes.
