A painful freedom... chapter 7
I was sleeping very deep when suddenly Margret poured a bucket of water on me and I quickly got up.

"Grandpa said pick Henry up early and I could not find a better way so I poured water on you. And now that you are awake, so go and get ready soon", she ordered me and went by taking the bucket.

I was thinking that what is the way to get people up? I was very angry at her but I could not say anything to her because if I did this then maybe uncle John refuses to help me. So I quietly got up from bed and went to get ready.

"Uncle John, I was ready. Where are you?", I called him when I got out of the bathroom.

"Out of the house, Henry", he answered.

"What are you doing here", I asked by coming out.

"Preparing to go, child", he said while cleaning his car.

"Oh! but even now the sun also has not rise", I said

"I know, but we have to get out of here as soon as possible", he said

"why?", I asked doubtfully

"Because today is a fair and during the fair we will not be able to get out of here", Margret said holding three bags in her hands and coming out.

"Fair, what kind of fair?", I again asked doubtfully.

"A fair set up to catch you", uncle John said

"What do you mean", I asked

"Henry, you know that your master knows that in one day you will not be able to get out of this village and even if you try to run, so of course in the morning", he told me

"Yes, but what is relation of the fair to my escape", I asked

"So that you get stuck in the crowd", Margret said

"And till now, by luring money, your master will have taken the entire village to his side, so that if someone would recognises you in the crowd, then he can easily catch you and give to him", she said...
