When 5 months pregnant Sara lost her husband in a car accident and everyone just blamed her by saying that if the glass frame broke in the morning why did you let him go outside don’t you know that it was a bad omen This stress and people taunts make her believe that everything they are saying is right and these superstitions actually exist and work too.

Her in-laws just threw her out of home by blaming her for her husband's death and now she was all alone in this huge world without a beloved husband and parents who left her just after she was born.

She was walking in the middle of the jungle just in search of some wild animal who would kill and eat her and make her get rid of this painful life.

But when destiny has some other plans you can’t change it
An old man takes her to hide home and helps her as a daughter but no matter how much he helps her the fears that were deeply absorbed in her soul by the words of people are always there.

She always gets scared of small things if the black cat would come in her way to cut wood she would just run back and stay hungry all day but don’t go out.

And this same fear she delivered to her daughter

When Maria was born her mother lived only for a month and died.

Maria was lonely with her only guardian an old man.

Time never stops and it doesn’t for Maria too and drags her along to adulthood where she is all alone with her beauty and fears.

She was beautiful as a princess but her fears never let her face the world.

She was scared of black cats
Broken glasses make her cry
She was afraid to get attached to people because it would make them lose their lives just the way her parents did.

She was scared to be possessed by evil if sitting/sleeping under trees after dark;

She panicked when her left eye twitches because it signals that something bad will happen to her.

But destiny's plans were different she was not supposed to stay all her life in the forest alone with her fears.

And then the day came when a hunter showed up handsome brave long height brown hair if you say that he was some prince it would not be wrong.

The moment he saw Maria he was astonished with her untouched and adorable beauty mostly her being all alone in this dark forest.

Their first meeting was not too pleasant but it was not last.

When the hunter saw a girl cutting wood all alone in the jungle wearing a dress made up of a sack, long brown curly hair fair skin white feet without any shoes he was amazed by her beauty.

Unknowingly he was taking a step toward this miraculous girl who was all alone in the jungle without any fear of animals.

But as soon as the girl saw the boy she was confused by this unknown being so close to her.

She just wanted to run back to her home and she did it.

The boy was shocked because, in a game of seconds, the beautiful girl disappeared.

When Maria reached her hut she was breathing heavily
Who was he? did he was there to kill me? What if he finds me?

She was confused.

On the other side he returned home but just to come back tomorrow with his friends they tried to find the girl all day but could not find anything.

And then his friends went back by saying that there was no girl it was just your illusion.

But he knew it was not.

He stayed and kept searching and here he finally found the fruit of his patience.

There was a small hut in the middle of the jungle as soon as he went to the door he saw a thread of lemon and green chili hanging on the front door.

He tried to enter into home and just when his left foot was in the air to enter someone shouted.

Noooooo!

The voice was so loud and unexpected that he took a few steps back and saw here and there in search of the voice.

And here a girl showed up with all her beauty.

She was confused maybe scared because her eyes were on her feet and she was rubbing her hands together and her lips were getting tortured by her teeth.

He wanna ask her what is she doing here all alone. Does she live here? Why is she so scared of him?

But all these questions were just lost somewhere by seeing her.

He took step toward her and tried to touch her cheek but she took a step back

Did you live here alone?

She just nodded her head up and down which was a sign of yes.

Now he wanna know the reason for this lemon and green chilies thread on the front door which was getting his attention itself and he did ask.

But after hearing the answer he was forced to think that this girl belonged to this planet or she just came from the previous century because, in the 21st century, he never saw a girl who would tie these things to protect their home from evil.

Now he was more curious to know about this girl.

The next question was why didn’t you live with your parents.

And unexpectedly girl cried her eyes were full of tears.

Hunter ran toward maria and tried to calm her.

Every relationship is god gifted and when god wants he have ability to take it back from us so believe on god decisions.

He was trying to calm her but her next words was unbelievable.

When she said that it was not god decision it was my bad luck which work on my parents.

I killed my parents.

He wanna tell her there is no such thing like bad luck kids can never be bad for their parents but she was so depressed so he prefer to be quiet.

He waited for few minutes and than ask next question.

who told you these superstitious things?

She was shocked.

These are truths.

No it’s not.

But these things really work.

Even last night I sleep under tree and I feel exhaustion it’s because at night some evils live on trees and we should not sleep under trees.

Wrong absolutely wrong.

It’s because plants also take oxygen and release carbon dioxide at night just like humans and this makes us feel suffocated because there is less oxygen in air.

But these lemon and chilli thread saved me from all evils from all these years.

Wrong again.

There is no evil which was gonna attack on you there were animals but light in this hut keep you protected not this lemon and chilli thread.

But the day I meet you black cat came in my way and I meet you that was my bad day.

You just heard something and believe it without knowing truth.

But I am not a bad luck.

Do I hurt you ? Am I trying to kill you?
Than how are you saying that something bad happened?

He was slowly helping her to get out of this fake world which she build around her.

And she was coming out she started to cry again.

What’s wrong now?

I don’t know I am feeling lonely suddenly and want a friend.

Would you be my friend?

And this was moment when he saw his princess beautiful smile and with this they were best friends.
