SOLUTION

Constraints are something that no one

enjoys, including myself. Everything in my
mother's life had a time restriction - a
certain amount of time to come home, a
certain amount of time to get up, and so
on.

And she wanted to know everything: am I

routinely attending my classes or am I
being influenced by my 'friends' who
regularly skip school?

Before determining whether or not to

have dinner, we need her approval. I
needed space, but she refused to give it
to me. Dad didn't fare any better. He was
often nodding his head in agreement with
what she said.

One day, I had the thought that I should

flee. I had about two thousand rupees, so
I formulated a strategy and put my things
into the same bag I used to go to school
every day. I left for school the next day
after saying my goodbyes to my folks. I
arrived at the bus station unsure of where
I was heading. I decided to visit my
ancestral village, which was only 100
kilometres from Delhi, after much
deliberation. I had never ridden a local
bus alone before, but I ultimately got a
ticket and ascended the vehicle slowly.
The three-hour trek was not easy.
Everything was there, from sweaty
armpits to crying babies, middle-aged
men rubbing their stomachs to old women
chewing betel nuts. I couldn't handle it
any longer and finally got off the bus.

That was only the start of my horror. I had

no idea where I was and no one to turn to
for assistance. I was on the lookout for a
friendly face. Thankfully, I met a
gentleman and began crying in his
presence. I told him everything, and he
advised me to return to my parents. He
suggested that I talk to my parents about
my dilemma and that they would listen to
me because parents are their children's
sole well-wishers. I realised how incorrect
I had been about my parents. That
gentleman assisted me in boarding a
different bus to return home. My parents
were crying when I arrived at my house,
and my neighbours were also present. I
felt ashamed and admitted to them that I
had run away from home. I felt bad for my
parents and promised them I'd never do
something like this again. They forgiven
me, and I decided I didn't want to develop
an empire any longer.
