Neo Imaginations

The other day my wife shared a piece of write-up written by her college friend, Trisha. The write-up was actually a kind of diary note that elaborated her feelings for the boy she loves and wants to marry. I was mesmerized in the flow of her words and feelings.

The narration was based on the imagination of a probable situation in future where she is being married to someone else. The narration ends with the line, " I would run away.
