1 The escape from home

In 1799, it was going to be the end of the 17s, and a new century was coming, most might be happy, but that happiness wasn't for me. the 18s were going to be my hell because on 2nd January my wedding was going to be a hell, but I didn't like my fiancé but my parents were forcing because he was damn rich, my parents were voracious for money. I tried to explain that I wasn't interested in the marriage but no, they didn't care about me, so I decided to teach them a lesson. I decided to leave home and live far from England, in the USA, where my childhood friend, Jack lives. I know pretty well that my parents would not even allow me to visit the USA alone, so I said that I was leaving for Scotland to meet my grandmother, I went to my parents and said, " Mom, I am really missing my grandmother and there was even a letter from her that she is feeling unhealthy, can I go to visit her please mom ", I started to beg

" Oh my cute girls, you may go. Your grandma will be happy... How many days will you stay ", she asked

" For  two weeks ", I said

" Ok, let me help you to pack you for your journey "

" No thanks mom, I will do it by myself ",

" Wait honey ", my father stopped and gave me some money and said, " It has been almost five years I haven't met her. Can you buy some gifts for her on the way to Scotland, and here some more money, take her to the hospital ",

" Of course ", I said and went to my room, I pack all my painting material and my sketchbook along with me and along with some cloth, I was now going to spend the rest of my life painting, following passion instead of being stepped by dump man.

I did go to my granny's home, in the evening I reach there, my heart was beating fast,

 "Is she even alive?" I thought

  She open the door, she was shocked to see me she hugged me and started to cry even me too. She was as healthy like 5vyears ago,

" Oh my sweetheart, don't you miss me ",

" A lot! ", I cried

" At least you could send me a letter, I have been waiting for so long for you all, where is your dad and where is your mom? ", she looked outside

" No, I came alone ",

" Oh, at least my heart is here, come inside!",

 We both shed tears a lot, you could now understand how selfish were my parents. As soon as they move to London, they didn't care about her and left her here all alone just to keep eyes on my dad's property.

We went inside and chatted a lot,  she bake me a cake, I started to bite but my tears flow from my eyes.

" What happen sweetheart...oh don't be too emotional, don't show the weakness of a woman ", grandma patted on my shoulder.

" Grandmother I don't want to go back my home ", I cried

" What happens? is everything ok",

" No, not all. I am dying from inside ",

" What happens?",

" Grandmother is it good to push someone to marry to a person who is going to step on my mouth ",

" I got it... Your mom and dad had fixed a marriage right ",

I cried, " Yes... My parents want me to marry..  a rich man who lives in London... but he is an evil man, I saw him murdering a young man, when he discovered that I was watching him, he warned me not to tell my mom and dad or else he will kill mom and dad. I told my parents, but they said to me that it's not a problem... they don't care about me they just want money, money, and money. I neither want to live with him nor with them",

She rubbed my eyes and said, " You see, anyway your mom and dad will take you from here... I don't support such arrange marriage either, but I am sorry I can't help you much...though I will try to explain to your mom and dad ",

" You think those demons will become angels through your explanation. No, no, never ", I cried.

" Then what we can do? ", she asked

I rubbed my eyes and said, " I know it might sound crazy but there is no other way...  Let's move to the USA ",

" USA! ", she shouted, " But what we are gonna do there? ",

" My old friend, Jack, lives there. I have sent letters to him be agreed to help me ",

" But what about this house ",

" What! You still care about your son's property, who doesn't really care about you.. who the hell use to keep his mother as a guard for his property in her last days ", she yelled and started to cry, " You are also an ally of them "

She looked upset, she then said, " Ok, I will go with you ", and then she smiles.

" Thank you granny ", I was almost gonna hugged her but she suddenly stop me and said, " No, no, not so fast there's a condition ",

" What condition? ", I asked.

" You will need to paint the sunset with me, one which will be best will be the winner ",

" Get ready to defeat ", I said and we both started to paint, obviously my granny's painting was more beautiful because she is a professional painter, but she never really got fame, why I don't know.

I and granny started to pack our bags and organized things for the next day, I saw happiness again after meeting her. She is like a painkiller for sadness and grief. I was not at all missing my parents, the next morning I and my grandmother got on to the seaport and went, I was really happy, finally I could breathe free air.

We went to our room. I know it was really gonna be a long journey, so I bought some things so that we could have fun and chase boredom, I bought a sketchbook and paints for my granny. I and granny spend almost all the day painting, we use to paint on the deck and many people saw our painting and many had bought our painting. My granny was happy because it was the first time she got such fame, almost the people know us for our talent, I and granny were like a star. A businessman from the USA offers both a job to teach painting in his art school. Obviously we agreed, we were already ready for living in the USA.

She shared all her stories at night we were able to make living through painting, she used to say me that I was the future that she wanted to live but she too faced such similar problems and she gave up.

" Dear, I believe in you, please never give up and just paint paint and paint through your success many other women will also inspire by you.

We almost passed a quarter of our journey.
