The next morning, all of them were on the dining table when Carter got a call from Karan. After talking for a minute they hang up.
"Lass. The plane is ready to go anytime. When do you plan to go?"
Nora got puzzled by his words. "Already? Don't you need to get the paperwork done?"
Carter's eyes widened. He forgot that the act is still on. The timing is too good to be true. The plane was actually all ready to go since last week.
Karan had made the arrangements already. When they got the information about Sana calling Nora to brag off, they didn't waste time and put their plan to work. However he forgot that this might be too fast for Nora.
"... Oh... Actually, we need to, but... Mr. Gill took care of it."
"Still, Isn't it too fast?"
"What's the problem even if it is?" Carter retorted grumpily.
Krish nodded in agreement. Nora wasn't trying to be sceptical, but things were happening too fast and too accurate. Looking sideways at her brother's excited face she said nothing like an interrogation anymore.
"Pack your bags for a week. Book the ticket or get our plane ready for that. We will depart soon. If things aren't that bad over there, we will be back in a week." Nora informed them.
"What! So soon?" Krish exclaimed.
Nora's brows scrunched with displeasure. Strictly looking at him she asked. "Do you have anything over there to do? Got relatives like my uncle? And even if it's yes, isn't a week good enough for you?"
"... Okay. One week." Krish pouted but didn't say anything to oppose her anymore.
Unlike Krish, Carter was very happy with a given week. He and Karan actually expected not more than three days, but they got more than double.
Nora sternly looked at her brother and said no more. Although if she had the chance or option, she would not like to stay for a day even. But knowing that the legal work always takes time, she gave the maximum she could.
"I talked to Mr. Jonathan for you." He updated her.
"Huh?" Nora's mouth gaped with realisation. "... Oh yes. I'll do that too."
She almost forgot that she had to inform her boss before leaving. Her only reason to inform Mr. Jonathan about her trip is because she works for him, not because she needs to be close to them.
Even though there are lots of acquaintances she got here, they are still an outsider to her. However, among them, Mr. Jonathan was different to her. And she will only realise it when she will come to know that this can also be their last meeting.
"You guys still have another month of your break. We will be back by then, don't worry." Carter joyously clapped. Although I felt bad for lying, but for a good outcome.
"Whatever."
...
After a few days...
From home to Airport, she wanted to go back to her place many times. She looked back at the road a number of times too. Nora had lots of second thoughts but the cause behind this trip is too big in front of her fear.
After reaching the Airport, they all took their plane to depart.
Leaving the country wasn't easy. Unlike Nora and Krish who knew nothing about Carter and Karan's plan, Mr. Jonathan knew about it well. Bidding his goodbye to Nora was very tough for him.
He almost cried when Nora left his household. As Carter had told him to not let Nora know about their plan, all he could do was to feel sad after she left.
It's a lot harder when the person you are bidding goodbye to doesn't know that it's their last meeting. He was only allowed to say casual words with no emotion and all with a normal smile.
"Sister. Are you okay?" Krish worriedly asked.
Even if he was happy and excited to go back to his rightful place, he knew that his sister wasn't as happy as him. In fact, she was bothered by the outcome more than anyone.
Since they had left the home for the airport, she spoke not a single word. If Carter and Karan ask her anything, she would just shake her head into denial about everything.
Nora distractedly nodded her head with a fine indication.
Krish wanted to ask again but Carter instantly held his elbow and gestured for him to not say a word for now. Right now for Carter, all he cares about is to fly. Once the plane is in the air, nothing can be changed.
And what he wanted, happened. After twenty minutes they were finally flying towards their home country.
Nora's breath hitched with fear. All these years she never thought of going back. And now when she has to, she doesn't get the time to prepare herself. She was very nervous about every single thing. She still remembered each and every part of her past.
Gulping down the whole content of juice, she got herself busy with the homework she got from her Boss, Mr. Jonathan. Once she was again busy, she got her calm back. After that neither Carter tried to disturb Nora, nor Krish.
