I never thought I would be able to get out of that place but unlike my imagination today I am free. I am seeing the sun setting. I can feel the warmth of the sun. I can smell the liberal air and shout my heart out. I am free. Freedom, the only thing I wanted and I finally managed to get it. However, I still have to face this so called society but still I am happy that I am free.

Today by chance a regular client of mine wanted to take me out. Aama didn't resist. When I was out with him I somehow managed to dissolve a small amount of chloroform in his liquor and after few minutes, he fainted. I took out his wallet full of money and drifted myself away from that place. I never want to go back to that world from where I escaped, not even in my nightmares.

Three days of continuous travel and I finally reached my home. It feels so good to be here. I looked around. It was the time of sunset. I went to the nearby cliff and now here I am watching the sunset after almost two years. By now the sun was gone and the sky was full of stars.
"I hate you stars." I shouted out aloud. A shooting star can fulfill your wish that's what people said but no it's just a superstition and nothing else. It never fulfilled my wish. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I remembered those days.

"Hey Sujina just look at the stars." With joy in my face I shouted seeing the stars.
"Hey a shooting star let's make a wish." she smiled.
We both closed our eyes and made a wish.
"What did you wish for." she asked.
"It's a secret."

I wiped my tears. "No crying." I said to myself. Those were the days when I used to love the stars and in the present day I hate them. So many things have changed in these years.
I was about to leave when I saw fireflies. They were adding beauty to the environment. For a second I just smiled or it's better to say those fireflies made me smile. I just looked around and saw an empty bottle of jam. I picked it up and caught some fireflies with the help of it.
"You are the symbol of hope. You make the environment glorious." I
smiled looking at the fireflies.

I then headed to my home. I had to walk an hour to reach there and by the time I reached there it was almost 4:00 am. I finally reached my house but to my surprise it was locked. I just thought to ask my neighbour about my parents and my brother. I knocked on the door of my neighbour Shyam kaka.
He opened the door.

When he saw me he adjusted his spectacles and then finally spoke out."You are Nandini right."
