one week ago.

When I realised that there is no one going to help me, there is no light of hope in my darkest corner of life. I have decided I will be the ray of hope. With all the guts and courage, I looked at the screen of my phone and smiled to my fullest.

I looked at my bag, and the time. Watch had strike 7 pm. I need to wait for 3 more hours. Then the house will be pin drop silent and I just need to slowly get out of this territory. Once I am out of it, I will run, run damn fast, and will catch the auto, though its risky at this hour of time, but I want to risk every thing. Then after that I have already booked my train tickets online. And my train will reach to the platform by 11 pm, and I will start my journey by 11:30 pm, when actually my train will depart.
Everything is sorted.
The knock on the door startled my revision of plan.I hurriedly, throw my bag beneath the bed, and intake all amount of oxygen I can.

"Nik" My beloved twin knock again.
I opened the door, and he wore this goofy smile on his handsome face.

"What took you so long?" He questioned, entering in the room, and looking all over the room. My heart was dramatically pumping in that fucking ribcage.
Just god, help me with this.
Do not let him see my bag.

"You did not replied?" He turns towards me, jumping on my bed, and spreading like the frog.

"I..I was scrolling my phone, and you know how lazy my ass can be sometime." I lied, fluently.
The quality I have recieved from him only.

"Ohk, I was here to let you know, I am not going to attend any of the class tomorrow." He whispered.
According to us, even the walls in this house can betray us and can be faithful to my father.

"Why again?" I asked, though tomorrow he might be busy in finding me. And I would be the reason for him to not attend the class.
How I want to tell him, about everything, but I can't drag him into the darkness, Where Idk how much light I have stored to cross the path.

"Shalini is upset with me, and So, I am going to take her to the theater." He replied and smiled broadly.

"How I wish Shalini to get her brain works fast and leave you." I sat on the edge of the bed.

"You are such a bitch sometime." He said, pulling my cheek.
I squat away his hand.

"Shut up." I rubbed my face.

"Ohk, now I am going, I was in between the game. I came here just to let you know, and in evening time, I will buy you a garama garam anthony ke samose." He said and waved at me.
I closed the door and left the breathe.
I won't be able to have my favourite samose.
Nik, this is way more important tham samose this time.
Everything is at stake.

I lie down on my bed, and was waiting for the time when everything will be silent and my world will be wide awake.

10:30 pm

I slowly walked out of the Sutar's Villa. I quickly made my way to the auto stand. Trust me, my hope was been crushed, when I found no auto standing on the auto stand.
They can't be that stupid, to leave home, right?
But here is the thing, I can't stand and wait here. I will be fucking late.
I was walking on an empty road. The fear in me was rising. But I plugged in my ear piece and listen to whatever song it was playing on the radio station.

"Madam?" And I startled at the voice, but relaxed and felt so happy and energised all of a sudden.

"Bhaiyya, railway station." I said and put my luggage into the auto, hopping in.

Within 20 minutes I reached the station. I gave the money, and hurried myself to catch the train. The train that will lead me to my dreams.
This will be my first journey, alone, from 'Gujarat to Pune'
A place of Forts, tracking and so much of history.
I am not only changing the state, but my whole world be changed after it.

I removed the hefty of cash from the ATM, because the note I left in my room, will make me suffer more than I can ever imagine, and I am not dumb, I actually need money, for every fucking thing.
I calmed my nerves and placed the money securely looking everywhere. Last thing I do not want to get robbed. I can't afford that.

"Great." I said and entered the platform.

So hows this going?
