Answer 2

The poet’s parting words were, “See you soon, Amma”, which are suggestive of the hope that they will meet again. The poet’s parting words of assurance and her smiles present a stark contrast to the old familiar ache or childhood fear. Her words and smiles are a deliberate attempt to hide what is going on inside.
