The next day morning I woke up Adam in my arms, cuddling. He was too cute and innocent while sleeping.

Suddenly I check my phone and realized I got to call several people to who I missed calls. So I placed a pillow under Adam's head and started walking towards the balcony. I thought I was going to call the person who called me in higher times. So I saw amma who called me five times at 3 am. And Arjun who called me eight times at 2 pm.

As I said I going to call Arjun who several missed calls were high on my list.

"Hello!" his voice damaged my eardrum as he shouted in excitement. We'd never been separated before like 6000 or 10000 miles.

"Speak slowly." I scolded him...

He groaned and asked, "How's foreign?"

"It has an amazing climate. There... cars go on roads. Flights... fly in the air. And Ships... in the_" He cut me off.

"Water?" he mocked. "It's how here as well. Say something different like I went to The Statue of Liberty, to the club, I was expecting more from you. Did you taste any alcohol?"

"No! Why would I?"

"Nah, I was just asking. How's your husband, Arjun?"

"Great. Do you know one thing? Here no water! Only toilet paper! Who would use that?" I hated when my voice sounded nervous and weak.

"What? Did you didn't say to him?"

"How can I ask him? We were just married. I didn't even talk to him after that engagement. You know, no? Then you are asking like you didn't know?" I scolded him.

"You need help? I can say to your aunty and she may change those things might only for your bathroom. And they are having a flight tomorrow morning. How is my idea?"

Yeah, ladies things would be safe with ladies but Arjun knows the values of the ladies. So I just said, "Okay." "So what else was going on there?" I asked him even though now I wasn't living in India. I still care about my mother's land.

"Aah..." he was thinking. "Nothing much and nothing that you wanted to know." He said mockingly.
