It was wee hours and we had to be careful, the barking dogs could cause trouble so we walked instead of running. Every minute we were moving away from the prison area, we had to leave the city as soon as possible, before our absence gets noticed. We didn’t choose train or bus; instead, we got into a truck. We didn’t know which way the truck was heading, it didn’t matter. We both woke up when the morning sunlight fell on our eyes, we peeped out of the truck trunk to collect clues as to where we were. We were far away from Kolkata, we had left behind the state of West Bengal and were in Bihar. The truck stopped near a settlement and we jumped out of the truck. We stretched our arms and inhaled the air of freedom.
