Welcome Home************************************************************* A story about the coming home for some and the rejoining of a family.*************************************************************Chapter 1 Melissa looked around as soon as she got off the plane and then look at her watch, it was half past six in the evening. All she could feel was hate for this place. Why did her parents have to tear her away from everything that sheknew? Oh, how she hated them and at that moment, all she wanted to do wasto scream how much she hated them. In front of her was her mother and behind her were her two brothers and their father still had to make his way out of the plane cabin. Now they were
in place of their parents’ birth, which they left before she
was born and while her older brother Sanjesh was only two.She knew story of why they left this country. Her father had gotten a chanceto go off and finish his doctorate in medicine in Canada, and start a newlife. So he took with him, his young wife, and their two year old son to start this new life. Two years later, she was born and four more years Ricardowas born, making one big happy family. Now she does not understand the reason why they have come back. Theyhave never been back, she had often heard her parents say they that theywould come back for a visit, but it seemed as though they never got time to fulfil that promise.

 promise, she never cared. She had her friends and her life to be content withand she was happy. They told them stories about Carnival, Mass, Socamusic and Chutney music, which at times they heard over the radio inCanada. When the day came and they said that they were moving back home. Melissa
couldn’t believe it 
 , she blew
a fuse and she said they couldn’t,
but regardless to how she felt, they did. Now they were here, in this ridiculous place, far from anywhere. She slipped her headphones on and turned the volume high up on her iPod, to ignoreany words coming out of anyon
e’s mouth. Right now, she
could not take any form of speech or else she would blow.She followed the crowd and made her way to pick up her luggage. Her brothers were not far ahead of her now; they had ready pick up their luggage and were now making their way to customs, where they would becheck out. She spotted her pieces of luggage now coming around. Reached in and pull out one, the other one she missed, but got it the other timearound. Her mother was with her brothers and the only person not accounted for was their father.Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulders, she turn around and it was him,her father. Smiling from ear to ear, he look so happy while she wasmiserable, she wanted to scream. He was saying something but she did not hear. He saw his luggage, pulled them out in one turn, and guided her over to her mother and brothers. After the family was reunited, they all went over to customs together.

They remember the old airport and compare it, but no comparisonwas found. It was so huge, compare to the old one. On the walls of hall were pictures of former and present Prime Ministers. Starting with Dr. EricWilliams and ending off with the present Prime Minister. Melissa too gazed at building and the walls, but she was not impress, she founded it to beboring. After a while of looking round, Ricardo exclaim that he wanted something toeat. So their father said that the four of them should go look for somethingeat and bring back something for him to drink. In the café section of theairport, they found, pizza, KFC, Coffee Rituals, Burger King and a whole lot of other things.Their mother decided that they would buy five coffee smoothes. After  purchasing the smoothes, they went back to their father, who was talking torather gigantic looking man, they were laughing, and hugging, and talkingall at the same time. Melissa was in a state of confusion. As they reached their father, their mother went over and hugged the man. Now Melissa was interested; she now took off her headphone to hear what they were saying. From what she was gathering, this man is some type of  family. She had never met anyone of 
her parents’ family. It was always her,
