May be it is true that everything happens for a reason. You just do not realise it when things are happening around you but later on you figure out why it all happened. I was feeling stuck but getting stuck in a storm was something I needed, to slow down and look around myself, observe things and people. I was living a moment which I am going to remember my whole life but I am not sure if I will be able to believe it to be real ever.
After lunch as was decided, Chotu knocked my door to ask me if I am ready to see the woods. For me all this was a completely new experience and I did not want to miss it. I could not believe it but I never felt this normal for past one year. I forgot if I ever was sad or dejected with my life. I stopped feeling like I am stuck to this place. It felt like I am at the right place now. I weren’t stuck, I was supposed to be here.
“You’re ready Madamji?” Chotu asked me as I opened the door. “Yes I am. But have you taken permission from your Manager Sahab (Sir) regarding this?”
“Yes Madamji. I told him that you wish to see the Jungle and want to take a walk around. He however warned me not to take you too far and deep in the forests. I told you about the wild animals?”
“Yes! I remember Chotu. We will not go too far. We do not have much time either. We have to come back before sunset. Remember?”
“Yes Madamji we should be back before sunset.”
