I should have known it was a trap, should have believed in all the clues i was getting. I should have known it was a cage.

But i am already trapped now.

I thought I was smart, but only i know how dumb i feel right now. All the clues were right infront of my eyes but I ignored them...𝘏𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘭.

I have been running for two hours now, but this forest isn't coming to an end. I haven't eaten anything since morning, my heel is bleeding continuously and i know i will faint anytime now.

But I can't lose this one last chance to escape.

I spotted a tree nearby, surrounded by wisteria and fireflies. I should stop for a moment, otherwise if I lose consciousness everything will be over.

I stumbled near it, sitting down. There were many fireflies around and the mirror work on my lehenga was emulating the light emitted by them. Leaning my head on the tree trunk i closed my eyes.

It was Karwachauth today. My first Karwachauth, a day when women fast and pray for their husbands' long life, and i was running from my own husband.

"My little fairy finally came to a stop hmm"

My breathing stopped hearing his voice, it was calm and soft.But i knew what he was feeling and thinking right now.

His hands subjugated me in his arms as he put my head on his chest, pecking my forehead. I wasn't daring to open my eyes, i didn't want to believe I lost.

"Bahut pakdam pakdai khel li aapne, chaliye ab ghar chalte hai. Aapka vrat bhi to todna hai, aur phir aapko iss harkat ki saza bhi to deni hai"

(You have played enough, let's go home now. We have to break your fast also, and then you will face the consequences of your actions)

He whispered getting up with me in his arms.
