New start

It was already dark outside, the road had no streetlight and was so narrow that it would be difficult even for a car to pass through. The villager walking in front of me with a torch in one of his hands and me following behind him, it has already been 20 minutes since we started walking, I wanted to ask the villager how long it would take but, I felt hesitant to ask him, so I kept quiet. Suddenly, the villager who had not spoken a single word since we had started walking turned to me and said, "are you tired? Just another few minutes we will reach the village". I replied, "no sir, I am fine, I can still walk". The elder, "our village has no electricity at night, so you cannot see it at night, a very few family reside here, and we all are a family here. How did you end up coming here?". I had realized that this village had not been developed as soon as I saw no streetlights on the road but after hearing this person I was shocked to hear that they had no facility of electricity...it was quite shocking for me as I was born and brought up in city for my whole life and I can't even remember a single day when we had no light, I replied," I came here to start a new life sir, it was not intentional to end up here I just got off at the last stop". The villager, "what!!! You are still young, did you run away from your home?". A reaction I had already expected did not shock me, I replied, "well my family knows that I left, so I guess I cannot say that I ran away! But I left the so-called place home!". The villager "it's fine don't be sad...at some point for everyone life gets hard, it's just a storm which will pass soon. You can stay in our village until then, we would be very happy to have you stay in here. You can take a break and find the answers for those questions and clear your mind. I cannot guarantee that your pain would go away but at least you won't feel pain while you stay here, our village might be small, but it is beautiful filled with lovely people and mother nature. I am sure your time spent here will make you feel happy again". Furthermore, I felt relived hearing these words, even I hope this storm passes soon, and I would find my lost happiness back again, I had a smile on my face and said "I am already happy hearing your words, once again thank you and sorry for the trouble I would cause you in the future". The villager laughed and replied, "you can trouble as much as you can, I would love to help you and don't be hesitant to ask me about anything". I said "alright sir, thank you".

While talking with the other person I did not even realize that I had walked for quite a long distance, I can now see the village, I feel weird entering the village a place where from now on I will live with people whom I am going to meet for the first time... I am worried as well as excited.

The villager stopped in front of a home and called someone... the grandma who came out looked at me, asked the other person, "William, who is this person?'. Oh, I just realized I didn't even ask for his name when we were talking, but now I came to know the elder's name. William explained my situation to the grandma and I could see that she is pitying me. The grandma turned towards me after listening to William's explanation, "dear, come inside, it's cold outside. You can stay here with me, I have another room. I would love to have such a cute and beautiful daughter like you".
