Chapter 13 : How Did Yesterday’s Home Turn Strange Today!?

When Did This Place Stop Feeling Like Home?

A year ago East Tambaram felt like home.
A year ago it was a worryless and peaceful days. I just lived in the present, no past and future thinking.

The only worry about the future she gave is her final exams are nearing day by day, and she’s gonna leave this place, leaving me alone one day.
