I was finally on the road, driving the car and looking at everything around me. I genuinely felt so free. Since I was driving a convertible, I thought, why not use it properly? I found the button on the dashboard and pressed it. The roof opened up and rolled back. Instantly, the fresh air hit my face, and it felt so good. Wow. This was exactly how I wanted my life to be.

I had no idea what would happen when my family found out I ran away. I didn't know what the groom's reaction would be, or what anyone else would say but honestly, since I had already taken this step, there was no going back now. I only cared about my mom and I knew I would make her understand my choice one day.
