To a new place

**Let me introduce myself, I am Anna ! **

Today is the day I ran away from home. I am going to a place where no one knows me, a place filled with strangers, I am going to start a new life, a new journey.

Sitting inside the bus, I am staring at the view outside, to which I am bidding my final goodbye!

Never did I ever imagine that one day I would be leaving the place where I was born and brought up, a place which is filled with memories.

I can feel someone peeking at me… I heard a cute lovely voice from a child which was sitting behind me, the child asked me "hello! Why are you looking sad, sister, do you want a chocolate?". I cannot help but smile looking at such a cute kid, I replied, "hello cutie, no I don't want a chocolate you can have it for yourself." I deliberately ignored the other question because I didn't want to answer it. The kid looking at me gave a warm smile and sat back in its seat. How long has it been since someone gave me a warm smile! I feel warm inside thanks to that kid. I sat in a comfortable position and closed my eyes…without knowing, I had drifted into a deep sleep.

I felt pain in my neck which eventually broke my sleep, I woke up rubbing my eyes and saw all the passengers had already left the bus, it was me all alone with the bus driver…

The bus driver,"miss which stop are you getting off?". That question woke me up completely, since in the beginning I had no destination, so I had planned to get off at the last stop. I replied, "at the last stop, sir." the driver looked at me with a worrisome face and said, "it's already dark outside, and it's a village with not much people living there! Do u have someone whom you know there?". Hearing it, I became a little worried and replied, "no sir, I don't know anyone there." I guess the driver felt bad leaving me at the village, the driver, "I know someone who lives in the village, they are good people you can stay there for the night". I was relived and thankful for the driver, who seemed to be a good person. Furthermore, I replied,  "thank you so much, sir. I am very grateful for your help". The driver just gave me a smile and nodded.

after sometime the bus stopped at the last station,i got off from the bus with luggage in my hands. The bus driver who was talking to someone looked at me and said, " Miss, i have informed this person so you can follow him". I replied, " thank you once again,Sir". Then i looked at the person who was standing and i greeted him..saying " sorry for the trouble,sir". the person walking towards me with a smile on his face said," it's alright, let me carry your bag..since we will have to walk for a quite a distance ". I politely rejected him saying, " No sir , it's fine i will carry my bag its quite heavy ". the villager, " don't feel shy, i will carry it for you just follow me ". I couldn't say anything to him just nodded and gave a bright smile " thank you then".
