It was 28 years since she had traveled back home……..
28 years since she had last smelt the fragrance of her home soil, 28 years since she had last met her family, 28 years since she was held close by her mother, ……..28 years spent in solitude. For the whole time, she was itching to get back to her home ground. All those years spent in anticipation of that one news disappeared when she finally got the news that she would be making the trip of her dreams very soon – that of returning to her homeland.
It was all the more irritating that she had to change her base every 4 years. Packing, moving, settling in & adjusting to her new environment every 4 years though exciting, was definitely a herculean task. She had been the darling of every team that she had belonged to. She was treated like a princess. But nothing……………. nothing could substitute the feeling of being held by her home team. Although she enjoyed every bit of her overseas stay, of being a part of a new team every 4 years, they very thought of heading back home had filled her with such exhilaration & excitement that she couldn't contain it any longer.
