Sensing his dark pursuits
she walked ahead in fear,
Listening to his 
dark footsteps she 
walked ahead briskly.
Fearing kidnap, rape and murder
she moved ahead with 
heart thumping 
summoning all her courage at her disposal 
she turned back 
but to her surprise and embarrassment 
she neither spotted anyone 
nor could listen to the dark footsteps. 
Heaving a deep sigh of relief
and regaining courage and composure 
she moved ahead.
Smiling to herself she 
continued walking and got frightened 
on hearing his dark 
footsteps closing in on her again
and her courage, composure and smile 
evaporated and she mulled running fast 
instead of walking to escape
from his clutches .
Running all of a sudden
she ran with all the speed at her command
he too ran after her forcing 
her to cry loudly.
Spotting her mother 
waiting for her arrival 
far away in the balcony 
she ran like a 
cheetah to be in her
mother’s arms at the earliest.
Listening to her loud cries 
he roared like a tiger 
and ran after her….
