A Girl from the South

Once upon a time when their was no concept of the technology that we know today, there lived a beautiful maiden. She was so beautiful that the people started to call her an angel and lusted on her. the townsfolk even started to annoy her parents that, they shouldn't keep this child to themselves but the child should be given to the town. From a young age she was not confident in herself and she was terrified of a lot of things. She also didn't like when people used to point at her. Due to this her parents decided to hide here from the world and the world from her. Despite being afraid of a lot of things, she had a curious and adventurous nature. She used to read books and collect paintings. The girl was very fond of snow which she had seen in different paintings, but not knowing what it was, aroused her curiosity.

 She had friends which she was allowed to meet but inside her house only. She used spend all of her time with them, just talking to them, they discussed everything. She learned about the wonders of the world from them. Her friends used to tell her about her day and the places they had been. Whenever her friends came to visit her, she used to be ashamed of herself that she didn't had any stories to tell. One of her friend told her that vehicles where evolving on a phenomenal rate, some thing called the train could transport people from South to the north. She used to live in the south, while in the north snow used to fall.

 She loved her parents and even understood there logic of keeping her safe. but one day she decided to break free of these bonds overcoming her fear, she made a firm decision. She packed her bags, stored some water, bread, warm clothes and all the money she had saved. She had a map of her town gifted to her by one of her friends. The map showed her where is the nearest train station and the smallest route to the north. In the middle of the night, she covered her face with a piece of cloth, gathered all the courage she had and left the house.

 In the outskirts of the town there was a train station, she bought a ticket on her name for the next train to the north. While she was waiting for the train different thoughts started to flood her mind, some were pleasant and others were destroying her courage from inside. Due to her weak nature she couldn't resist the thought of staying away from parents. As the time passed travelers and passengers crowded the waiting area. Terrified she thought that everyone over here is looking at her and and among these people someone came here just to abduct her. Slowly the time passed by and her strong will started to waver and just when 5 minutes remained for the trains arrival, she didn't know what came over her and she picked up her bags and ran. She ran towards her house as if she were running for her dear life. She entered the village discreetly and hiding from everyone's sight she found her house.

She entered her house and sighed "Ah! my house the most beautiful and safest place there is" and kissed her parent while they were asleep. She drank a glass of water and went to her room. She took her blanket and fell asleep as if all of this had never happened and it was just a dream.
