Return from Carnival..

"We gotta go now," Sel. 

The closer view of the woods always creates a sense of questioning in her. 

Whenever she takes a look at it, it's like there are a lot of questions to ask from someone she did not know. 

It's more than some energy and more than some vibes.

"Henry, we should go now.Look everywhere, people are going home."she said. 

"Millie, let's go." 

"Huh! Let's stay for a while. Look there's so nice weather here."

"Yeah, but it's too late." 

The weather was so comfortable. With lighter clouds and breeze in the air. With little showers of the blossom leaves.

🌺

In just no minutes, A strong blow of wind blown from the woods, towards them. 

As if it's a message. It's a message deep down from the woods to her and for her. 

The winds touched the cheeks of the Sel and in the first blow her ears seems to listen to a voice. 

It seems to put a spell on her on the very first encounter. As someone's call to remind her, to alarm her, sending her a message. 

A message to come back. Come back to where she belongs. 

"It's beautiful." Sel said. 

"Huh, what did you say? " Henry asked. 

"This place is so calm, so peaceful."

"Yeah, yes it is. Sel, you look so beautiful tonight."

"I don't know why but I want to go deep inside of it. 

"Huh, where.." he said. 

"I feel like I want to get lost in there."

Sel what are you saying? It's..its not safe. You yourself said that right."

"I just want to get lost. Within the deep roots.

"Millie!" someone called her from behind. 

It's her dad. He personally came to pick her up. 

"Look Millie,its your dad." Henry replied. 

"Huh,its dad."Millie hurriedly ran towards hey dad and shocked. 

"Dad, why do you have to come here personally. I was just going to come myself."

"It's late and you already hanging around here, at the bridge side. Your mom is super worried. Let's go." Her dad replied. 

"Okay."

"Guys, I have to go now. Bye." she said. 

"Oh, okay." Henry said. 

"Bye." Sel replied. 

Millie went home with her dad. And it was just getting a deeper night.

🌙

Sel was totally captivated by the strong moon and night lights. The gorgeous sky and the grown woods all were just eye gazing. 

It was also a long time since she had felt so peaceful. It was no more stubborn after she reached there. 

Maybe it was the aura of the area around the dark forest or maybe it is a special kind of relationship with her only. 

"It's getting late, Sel. Why don't we go now ?" he said.

"I mean you were scared before right." 

"Yes, but I'm no longer afraid now. I want to stay here forever." 

The strong breathes of the woods all took her into a different state. Where she is no longer afraid of what happens next. 

No more cares for what anyone says or feels. 

It could be the effect of the nature or a Spell. 

Someone have a watch on her, day and night. Wants to track and change her every moves. And put her in the closet of his dreams. 

Love may be caring or offensive or possessive but it's always regarded as Love. 

No matter what it sounds like. 

But in the world of love, only love should win. 

"Sel, you are looking beautiful tonight." Henry said who was looking at her with great intense eyes, when she was just lost in her own world. 

"Sel, are you listening ?" he said. 

She was just mesmerised by then and not paying attention to anything around at all. 

"Sel,are you listening ?"

By the sudden awake, she realised her existence again. 

"Ah, wha...what?" what did you say? " she said. 

"Ah, no nothing. Just where are you lost Sel? Don't we have to go home? He asked. 

"Yeah.. Yes.." she said. 

"We really enjoyed today at the carnival right." he said. 

"yeah, Right."

Sel was in confusing state that whether she wants to leave here or wants to stay. It was messing up her mind. 

"Henry, did you ever want to go inside the dark woods ?" 

"Why are you asking like that? Who would want to go in that scary forest? 

Moreover people says so much about that place. 

You have heard about the lady that got lost in there right. They say that she wanted to visit forest deep and she never went back. 

People also say that they have heard voices of instruments playing at night over there. 

"It's really dangerous. " he told her. 

"Don't you ever even think about going there." he said by knowing the curious nature of hers. 

"Yeah I know." she said. 

She still knew that inside there is something missing in her and continuously saying her to find that missing part of hers. Which was lost somewhere. 

She likes to hear the smoothness of breeze on her cheeks and listen the air through her ears. As if it is trying to say something to her. 

"Let's go." she said. 

"Yes..yes. let's go." he said. 

She turned to leave the place and unknowingly turned back at last to see through the woods. 

Every Time she saw through there, it's like it has a meaning. 

She turned against it and returned to leave. 

She felt something through her ears. A soft eave of air down her ear. 

It was soft and yet mysterious. 

It says, "My Dear." 

Sel found it if she misheard something and turned and looked here and there. It was no-one that called her nor Henry. Who was walking ahead of her. 

She realised that it's the kinda same as she heard before. 

She gradually turned ahead and avoided the sounds. 

This is the best she could do at this time. 

So she turned towards her home and so did the Henry after leaving her home,after saying goodbye. 

She rung the bell of her home. Her mom opened the door and she entered. 

She said,"hey mom."

"How did you get so late. You were coming in the evening right." her mom asked. 

"Yeah,mom, but Millie and others insisted on staying more and in the meantime we got late. I'm sorry."

"Sel, you better be careful. I let you go with your friends that didn't mean that you get bolder and bolder.

There is also not so good to stay out at night. Do you know what time it is now. " she said. 

And you are not much older that I can be rest assured. Nor you are going with a guardian with you at all. Do you know what I'm saying. "

Yes. Yes mom." Sel slightly said. She could not bear to say anything after her despite the fact that she was not the one they got late for. 

Also she was the one who was insisting  them to go on time. 

"Sel, you really make me tense some times for you. Hushh." her mom said. 

She endured every thing herself peacefully. 

"Now, go to your room and rest. I had to wake up for you too."

"Yes mom rest well."

As per the guardian, she always wanted someone to be by her side. On difficult situations and to bear her kinkiness with. And to spend the alone time with it. 

But she never had one except her best friend Millie. 

She went to her room and laid straight on her bed. It was a hard day indeed. But a fun and refreshing one. 

She really did not spend time like this with her friends and away from home. 

She was recalling the whole day in her mind like a movie. 

She was happy and content with the day. 

Not much concerned about the previous experiences she had. 

And did not paid much of herself, not for the time being. 

But one thing that she had in her enlightenment, was the behavior of Lara in the morning. 

She was behaving strangely and looking conscious. And the things she asked was much more strange than her. 

And what about the book she was holding in her hands. 

what was written in the book?

All these things sel was thinking through and in the mean time her eyes began feeling heavy. 

It took no time to fell her asleep. 

As the night got deeper, she fell in the shades of the darker night too. 

The elegant day came to an end , the serenity covered up the whole town. 

Some were happy and some were still in the search of happiness. 

Some were calm and some were preparing for a storm. 

To revolutionize the throne and in hold of Power. 

Some fell in their Dreams. 

Some were asleep. 

And some were preparing for the battle that never had happened before. 

Someone fell asleep too, having her in his. dreams. 

Love can be cruel or obsessed.

🖤

But it starts with the same feelings. 💞
