story 1 part 3

The house was eerily silent, as if no one lived there. We couldn't even hear the usual noises from the kitchen. As the day went on, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed. I didn't come out of my room, and no one came to call me for dinner or breakfast. I think Dad had told them not to call me.

I lay in bed, thinking about everything that had happened and considering my next step.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to see my big sister standing there. I signaled her to come in with my eyes. She entered and stood still, not saying anything for a few minutes. I could see the tension on her face, as if she was struggling to say something. After a long battle with herself, she finally started talking.

"Sapna, tomorrow the man and his family are coming to see you."

Hearing this, I was stunned. I couldn’t think of anything. Tears started to roll down my cheeks, and I just cried and cried, not knowing what to do. Then my sister said to me, "Sapna, are you really passionate about your dream? Can you do anything for this dream? Can you?"

I stared at her and, without thinking, said, "Yes, I can."

My sister smiled at me very softly and then said, "Sapna, you should run away from home. I can support you, and Mom is also on our side. This is the only option I can think of because Father is not listening to any of us. You should run away and make your dream come true. Please, just run away."

I said to her, "Okay, I will run away from home, but what about Father's reputation? And what will happen to you and Mom?"

"Don't think about any of that," she said. "I can handle things here. You should just focus on what you want to achieve. And remember one thing: we are all family, and everyone loves you, including Father. He can be strict and sometimes selfish, but he still loves you and me more than we can imagine. So after you fulfill your dream, please come back home. Everyone will be waiting for you."

With her words, I made the decision to run away from home with the support of my sister and mom.

The following day, I packed a small bag with essentials, my heart pounding with every item I added. My sister helped me, her hands trembling as she handed me clothes and other necessities. "You have to leave tonight," she whispered. "It's the only way."

As the sun set, the tension in the house grew. My mother came to my room, her eyes filled with tears but her voice steady. "Sapna, we believe in you. Follow your dreams and don’t look back. We will handle things here."

I hugged her tightly, feeling her warmth and strength. "Thank you, Mom. I promise I'll make you proud and come back as soon as I achieve my goals."

Under the cover of darkness, my sister led me to the back door. "Go to the bus station," she instructed. "I've bought a ticket for you. It will take you to the city where you can start fresh."

I nodded, my heart heavy but determined. "Thank you for everything," I whispered, tears streaming down my face. "I love you."

"I love you too," she replied, her voice breaking. "Now go."

I stepped out into the night, the cool air hitting my face as I walked away from the only home I had ever known. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, but the determination to follow my dreams kept me moving forward.

The bus station was quiet, a stark contrast to the turmoil in my heart. I boarded the bus, clutching my bag tightly. As the bus pulled away, I looked out the window at the darkened streets, a mixture of fear and excitement coursing through me.

This was the beginning of my journey, a chance to chase my dreams and prove to myself and my family that I could achieve what I set out to do. Despite the uncertainty and the challenges ahead, I knew that I was not alone. The love and support of my family would always be with me, guiding me towards a brighter future.

As the city lights faded into the distance, I closed my eyes and whispered to myself, "This is for you, Mom, and for you, Sis. I won't let you down." And with that, I embraced the unknown, ready to face whatever came my way.
