Capítulo 30: A meet with Krish

After coming back to the hotel Nora locked herself in her bedroom. All things for which she wasn't prepared for happened today.

On one hand She knows what wrong she has done, but the mistakes she can save, her brother cannot. He's not big enough to see the things she's seeing. And on the other hand, she also doesn't want to force or dominate his decisions or choices.

She never thought of coming back. Staying away from everything was all easy for her. But what now? Her whole life plan changed completely.

However the one thing that changed and also helped her somehow was her familiarity that she had lost somewhere, came back.

When she came back, she had no idea where she lost her country. Nothing looked familiar to her. Everything looked so new to her that she was actually missing her home... abroad.

While spending her day outside, without anyone's help she saw how things had changed.

Although it got all developed or changed for good, one thing that had not changed was her people. Her own people and race, being within them is actually making her feel safe.

"Uncle, why did you bring me here? You know that I don't have much time to explore this city. You can't waste my time on introducing these kinds of things." Krish commented irritatingly as he looked at the middle aged man sitting on the dining chair.

"I am not gonna take much of yours, but this meeting is important for us." Carter said.

"Like really? I am not here for any work. I am here for fun. If you are in need of business work, contact my sister. She knows the best. Leave me alone for these two days at least uncle." Krish groaned unhappily.

He was having all the fun when suddenly his bodyguards brought him here. As he didn't have the time, he had planned all his trips, until someone came in between. For him the middle aged man is doing nothing but was there to do some bootlicking work in the business world.

Karan couldn't help but frown hard on Krish's non-virtuous behaviour. Where till the end Nora kept her composer, Krish was losing his control with no reasons already.

"Sit down." He ordered.

Krish lips pouted instantly. He never liked to take orders from anyone but his sister. Narrowing his eyes at the man he spoke back. "Well I am not comfortable around you so I'll take my leave first to give you guys your space."

"Do not make me repeat, kid. Even your sister follows my order. You better not act all mighty in front of me."

Hearing that Krish instantly looked back at Carter for confirmation. In his questionable eyes, Carter nodded in affirmation. "He is someone your sister respects too. Do not act impulsively. We need you today."

Krish's narrowed eyes softened. Pursing his lips he sat down reluctantly. "What do you want?"

"You tell me... What do you want?" Karan asked back.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"We mean, right now, what do you want?" Carter repeated.

"I want to go back to explore this city more...?"

"Why?"

"...What is going on here?"

"Just answer Krish." Carter beckoned him to speak.

Krish sighed exhaustingly but still answered for his uncle. "Because I always wanted to know about my own country too."

"Why?"

"Because it's mine."

"Then why hurry if it's yours?"

"I am not. My sister is."

"So?"

"Because my sister wants to go back in two days. I will go too."

"Do you want to?"

"Of course not."

"Then stay forever."

"I... Wait what?" Krish hurriedly looked sideways to his uncle. "What are you guys talking about? Speak properly."

He is just eight years old but he understands that meaningful look both the uncle's were giving to him.

They look all serious, and what was scaring him was the fact that all that seriousness is for him and towards him. In his life this is the first time that anyone is actually talking to him this seriously.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked again.

"No. But now only you can bring things to its rightful place."

"Talk to me in English please. I am not understanding a word."

Carter rolled his eyes on his sarcastic comment. "Okay we won't use big words but try to understand us too. First, do you want to stay here?" He slowly asked.

"Yeah of course." Krish right away said.

"For forever?"

"...."

"Forever Krish?" Karan asked again.

To his question Krish didn't answer. 'For forever?'... It's a big word for him. For him, he lived his whole life abroad. His friends, school, his everything is there.

He always wanted to come back to his country, because he wanted to see what his country or his people looked like. Although there's not much difference in both countries, there's still a big gap between their own people or them being like foreigners to the outside world.

But he still doesn't have the guts to take such a big decision of leaving everything behind for forever in just one second.

"I don't know."

"Why? You just said that you want to stay." Carter forcefully smiled. He knows that he is asking a lot from a nine-year-old-kid, but they have got no chance.

The moment Krish would reach the hotel room, Nora would start asking him questions of what he wanted. If Krish isn't prepared for those questions, the plan can backfire on them too.

"Yeah I know that I had said that but for forever? I am not sure."

"Why not Krish? Listen-"

"Carter stop."

"Huh?"

"Let me talk to him."

In his words, Carter right away backed off.

"Krish we don't wanna force you, but I hope you know that your everything is here too. Your dad had built his company for you both. Your mom has decorated each and every part of your house to make it your home. You, living abroad, are actually leaving everything behind yours. This is your actual home. We understand that your sister doesn't want this, and that she is scared. But do you believe that someone should live in fear for her whole life? Is it worth it?"
