“I was at Kyra’s place to drop off the cookies I baked for her.”
“You could have dropped them off tomorrow.” Mira sighed.
“Yes, but then she has to finish her packing.”
“Packing? Where is she going? Just two hours ago, she was here at my place. She didn’t say anything then.”
“That’s what I want to talk about, dear. Kyra is moving to the US.”
“WHAT?” Mira yelled, and there was a thud in the background.
“Mira…Mira.”
“Mom…sorry, I fell off the bed. What did you just say? Kyra is moving to the US?”
“Yes. Ranjeet convinced her to join his company. She warned me not to share anything with you or Nitya, but I can’t just keep quiet. I can’t let her go when I think she’s making a mistake, Mira. And she was quite upset about the breakup.” Vrinda rambled.
“Mom, stop. What breakup?”
“She just broke her relationship with her boyfriend. I was already at her apartment when she cameand began sobbing uncontrollably like everything was over. I had no idea my daughter was dating someone. Mira. Why didn’t she tell me about that? It seemed like I had failed her.” Vrinda responded tearfully.
“Mom, stop. Please, take a deep breath. Calm down and tell me everything from the beginning.” Mira was shocked.
“Well, it all began when Kyra came to see your dad and me at the office. She appeared a little stressed, but I assumed it was just work-related fatigue. She then revealed to us her decision to join Ranjeet in New York.” She let out a deep breath after she told Mira everything.
“What the heck! Mom, I feel like I no longer know Kyra. You told me she broke up today? Adi, do you understand what that means? It means that she broke up with—” Adil interrupted Mira just as she was about to take Kabir’s name.
“Mira, relax. Just sit down for a moment.” Adil didn’t let her take Kabir’s name in front of her Mom and spoke. “Mom, don’t worry. Everything will be fine. Kyra is not leaving for the US.”
“How can you be so sure?” Vrinda sniffled.
“I just know. Mom, trust me, we will get to the root cause of this matter.”
“You seriously didn’t know anything, Mira? Not even Nitya?” Vrinda probed.
“No, Mom. I didn’t. But Adi is right. We will find out what’s wrong with Kyra.” Mira sounded a bit calm.
“I appreciate you speaking to me at this hour,sweetheart. Although it was late, I just couldn’t stay without calling you. I wanted to help Kyra.”
“Mom, come on. Stop it. You are the one I should be thanking for giving me this vital information. And I’m your Mimi. You can call me anytime. Now, please go home and get some sleep.I love you. Take care.”
“I love you too, baccha. Take care, and keep me updated on this. Good night.”
“Goodnight, Mom.”
Mira was numb after the conversation with her Mom sunk in.
“Don’t worry, baby. We will find out what is the real problem.” Adil rubbed her shoulders.
“Hmm. Let’s call Kabir.”
“I already called him. He is not picking up. Let me try again.”
She sighed helplessly and was about to call Ruhi when she realised that her current call with her Mom had also been accidentally recorded as usual. This frequently happened to her. The calls were somehow recorded, albeit she was unsure how. The folder had numerous call records from the past week.
“Adi, wait a minute. There is something here.” She frowned when she saw a week-old call of more than half an hour recorded there.
“What is it?”
