I have been writing so many tragic stories that my sister has stopped reading 🙂 so here’s something on lighter note.
A 100 word story (Drabble) for photo prompt from Friday Fictioneers, including prompt Lunch from velvet verbosity and prompt Misunderstood from Five Sentence Fiction… all in one
************************
“This can’t continue”, she whispered into the phone, “they are coming for lunch today and going to fix the date, do something … immediately”.
The urgency in her tone didn’t leave any room for misunderstanding; they both knew it was now or never.
The plan he charted for her escape sounded absolutely ridiculous but she wasn’t left with much choice.
As he drove the truck, carrying hay, right below her window, she took a leap a faith, to be together with the love of her life.

Rashmi smiled, after narrating the story, while her daughter looked on with wondrous eyes.
A happily ever after there…
Wonderful!
Good story and well written. It was a story showing great courage.
Dear Rajlaksmi,
A leap of faith that will be retold from generation to generation. Nice and love the happy ending.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Glad it worked out for them – sounds like they deserved their happy ending
Nice one.
Hey, talk about killing two birds with one stone: You did three and did it well. And I don't care how many kinds of fiction are produced every year, I still believe that the story of true love overcoming all obstacles to win the day is still the best story ever told.
haha now that's really a story that can go on for generations!
haha sweeeet!!!
Nice they did. 🙂
Very nice one
Good for them!!

Excellent story.
That was a nice escape. Hopefully her daughter will also be courageous enough to take such a leap 🙂
That's some writing challenge combo you pulled off…and you indeed pulled it off! Nice work!
This was a fodder scam of the not-so-evil kind 😛
Cheers

Lovely! And I can imagine it going down to granddaughters 🙂

Good that they took a step to escape. Most Indian women would just bow down to family pressure
This is a good story – especially when you consider it handles the constraints of 3 different challenges!
Quite some story to narrate that!
Wonderful! 🙂
