Ruby found herself walking aimlessly and mindlessly. She was dragging her bare feet on the roads, fields, and woods for she didn’t know how many days.
She didn’t know where she was going or what she was doing. She was in a state of trance.
All she knew in her heart was that she had to reach somewhere. There was this constant pull that she felt in her heart, almost as though she was tied by an invisible string and someone was pulling the other end of that string.
And with each day that passed, she could feel that she was closer and closer to her destination. She started to move her bleeding feet even faster when she felt the pull getting stronger. She needed to find the one who was tugging on her heart.
‘I’m close…’ a voice resounded in her subconscious mind.
And she kept on heading forward until she bumped her head on someone’s rock-hard chest.
“Ahh!” She pressed her palm against her forehead and rubbed it.
“Are you okay?”
