How long someone filled with rage can be kept in a cage!?
Rhea was one of those.
She wanted to discover inner meanings, strength, even treasure. She wanted to explore new places. Handling situations, fighting for herself...these were in her wish-list.
She wanted all the obstacles to fade, she wanted power, love...she wanted freedom!
The life routine, prison she was kept in; forced her to run...run long paths without turning back...she wanted to ESCAPE...
"Being a girl who wants to live in isolation won't help",yelled her mother in seeing her alone in her room. Who knew her dreams and desires? No one came to her room to see those paper cuttings, photos, goals hanging in her walls.
She was building up her own future, imagining to meet lots of people on her way rather than thinking to be isolated.
Her outer self was way too different from her inner self. Her mind was full of stuffs...stuffs that people call explosions! Her head was a medley in itself.
She didn't know what she exactly wanted to do but surely knew that she will do something. Something worth remembering and what she called as 'big'.
Her aspirations were much higher for a family so conservative. The bars of limits for her seemed no limit. Her wilderness had no place; neither in their family nor in their hearts.
Being an explorer, she could soon discover a heart as well. 'The' heart.
Her college days proved to be miraculous. She met 'The' heart. The connection. A quick taken-aback moment...the sudden fastening of heart beat...the fidgeting with hair... shirt and fingers... blushing under the bright sunshine, the picture perfect moment...the magic!
Words among the two souls were exchanged very beautifully just like the waves at night, under the moonlight...though their souls were turning frantic and mystified but they looked very tranquiled and hushed.
Their bond seemed no limits just like Rhea's dreams!Their thoughts had a match as well. Ideas, dreams, desires! Oh!
One day, he told Rhea to come to the highest building in their city.
Boy : I want to meet you. Can we?
Girl : Yes sure. Let's catch up.
Boy : Come where we met last. But this time...I want you to be alone.
Girl : Alright. Is that something urgent?
Boy : Let's meet, then...
Rhea was awestrucked. She didn't know how to react as the world around her seemed to revolve, the air was filled with magic...the magic of love and her heart raced.
The sun finally set in giving a sublime pattern with radiant colours covering the sky. Rhea wore a beautiful red dress.With a jumping heart, shivering hands and a face as beautiful as the most beautiful cresent, she stepped in the elevator.
He was standing. He turned back hearing footsteps. Those were Rhea's. Seeing him already there with those twinkling eyes, she felt comfort and warmth entangle her. Both smiled brightly yet shyly.
He came closer and closer...Rhea felt his breath over her face. She closed her eyes. He held her hands with utmost care and delicacy.
He very sweetly pulled Rhea little closer and adjusting her hair whispered in her ear..."let's escape... " he further added, " Let's escape from this world, from our comfort zones, let's escape for ours dreams...for ourselves... Will you?
Rhea hugged him. Tears trickled down from her eyes. As a surprise, it was all she wanted! The silence, glittering lights and the wind blowing in their hair made it a picturesque view!
