While going the poet turned to look at her mother. She found that the mother was dozing and her mouth was open. Her face was as pale as that of a dead person. The poet painfully realized that her mother was not going to live long But soon she drove this painful thought away from her mind. She started looking the young trees on the roadside that seemed to be running fast. She saw children running out of their homes in joy.
After reaching the airport, the poet went through the security check. Her mother was standing outside a few yards away. After the security check, the poet again looked at her mother from that distance. The mother's face was pale white. It was as pale as the face of the moon in late winter. The port felt an old familiar ache in her body. It was like she used to feel in her childhood when some far overpowered her. Yet she spoke no word to her mother. All that she said was. "See you soon. Amma The only thing the poet did was smile and smile and smile.,
