Before she surrender her eyes to see what she was not prepared for. She wanted to run away from the incident which was going to happen. By putting her little, cold palm on her face she wanted to address her fear. Fear of not looking good as a princess, she imagined herself to be and fear that her rabbit costume gifted by her granny would going to ruin the picture. She can not take this photo to the school, not like this. “My sweet rabbit what to shy about?” Come on now! her granny uttered these words and tried to remove her palm from her face. But she was not ready to show her face as for past 3minutes she has been running around so somehow she could escape to get into the situation she was then. Her palms were sweating, eyes were restless, arms started to pain but that position was more comforting to her than being laugh on tomorrow. She scared so much about the day after that she forgot to enjoy this very moment. She forgot to celebrate her birthday the way she planned in those 5 minutes.

Five minutes ago her life was perfect. They had cleared up all their misunderstandings. They’d declared their love for each other. They had even set a date. Such was her happiness that she wanted to shout it to the world.
But that was five minutes ago. Now, nothing can describe the misery and desolation that she feels.
“It was a freak accident,” someone said. “No one could have predicted it.”
All she can do is hide her face in her hands and wonder about how her life could have changed from utter happiness to utter misery in just five minutes.
