Bridal Light

She could never forget that afternoon 

It was a bright afternoon like ever

The light became softly warm but still could hurt eyes

Her face was flushing with the bridal light filter of nature like ever

She kept watching the vehicles running in a hurry on the over pass

N the narrow road to the west was empty like most of the time

Grasses n trees were warm n green

Some cotton clouds were in the sky unable to hide the sun

She could smell the winter, leaves, grasses, awaiting branches, dried up soil, the sunlight n even the burning clouds from her window 

like always 

Only the world went upside down in a moment

She wanted to run away but

she felt her feet were tied up with ropes from ceiling

Bloods were flowing down to her head n making it heavy n foggy

She tried to scream but her throat went collapsed at once 

The whole world was upside down

Still it was a lovely afternoon, softly warm n vibrant 

She saw everyone walking around 

The whole world was under their feet, she never thought like this before 

She only took a deep breath n calmly said

"Yes U r right my love. There's nothing wrong in it."
