Picture writing contest - Only mine

That was a pleasant and calm evening when I ran out of my house. Rather than saying a house, we could call it a ‘mansion’. By that word itself, you might come to know how huge my abode would be. Yet, as the protagonist, I have the responsibility of narrating the reason why I left my house.

As I mentioned earlier, my house was big enough to have 15-20 families. Most of the time, my house would be filled with at least 20-25 people. It seemed to be a festival, but not. It was because of the mentality of the people. Their favorite hobby was gossiping and complaining about others. Being a twenty-year-old girl, I was too tired to handle them. Sometimes I even thought of bursting out due to my intolerance. My parents were soft-natured so they could not tell us anything about our relatives and guests. Those relatives took an advantage of my parents’ nature.

On hearing the absurd words of the relatives, my parents decided to get me married to a stranger. Later I came to know that the bride-groom was a jobless aristocrat. I never had respect for idle people. How could I accept him as my husband? I announced my reluctance to my parents, which ended in vain. I contemplated a lot about what to do next. Then I decided to meet that groom in person. I changed my mind a little bit and went forward to discover his likes and dislikes. I thought of accepting him if he had some common interests with mine.

Within a few days, I was able to meet him. Though he was looking good and handsome, his way of speech was not pleasing to hear. He did not seem to be concerned about his joblessness. He wanted to wander and waste money and time since, he was born with a golden spoon. In addition to that, he had no due respect for women. His viewpoint about women was they were just objects to be used by men. The pride of being rich shadowed his face and his constant smirk. Finally, I came to know that he had an interest neither in literature nor in music.

In my opinion, marriage symbolizes acknowledging and broadening our love. Marrying such a person will slay my entire life. Again I spoke about him to my parents. But they seemed to be too afraid to cancel the marriage. That is why I decided to gallop all alone, for myself. 206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJnzEQYoOm

There were six days to go for my wedding to take place. I did not want to surprise my parents at the very last moment. I packed some of my dresses, books, and essentials. I did not decide where to go. But I believed I would reach a place that would welcome me whole-heartedly. I galloped with the arrangements made by my sincere maid. She was the only friend and a trustworthy person in my house. I presented her some of my gold jewels to repay her kindness. She would have also reached some new city or a new village. I always wish her to have a happy and peaceful life.

I reached the entrance of a forest where only a few trees were available. The season seems to be autumn. The entire environment gave me a vibe of serenity and peace. There was nobody in this forest to judge me and talk ill of me. I smelled a piece of harmony of love and hope in this air. I felt relieved and free. There was no restriction here to live.

Suddenly my attention got diverted toward the sound that came out of a thick bush around the edge of the path. At first, I imagined something deadly and dangerous, but it turned out to be a beautiful and adorable deer. She gradually made her steps towards me. She kept on staring at me as if she met a strange creature. I stopped blinking for a while until she began to play with me. She seemed to be friendly to approach.

I had a belief that at least my parents would understand my feelings and my love for literature, music, and nature. I also wanted to be loved and to get married but to the right person, not to an egoist and an irrational person. I never loved money or wealthy properties. Besides, I never preferred to have a handsome man like my husband. I could accept someone ugly, but with a good heart and intellectual mind. I realized that the love of my life would be this enormous and plenty of nature and its creatures. They would lead me to a new path. I would never stop walking on this new road. Let the wind and rain be my music and this massive nature be my literature. I could be able to live a life of only mine, just loving myself.
