and as she woke up in the morning, she knew, she has to say it. She said it all in one breath….halted…..then again said everything…this time slowly. Said it all to her best friend. Said she needs to clear the cobwebs, needs an answer to her doubts and said she feels in danger.

they understood. one by one the cobwebs were picked and removed. corners of her mind were cleaned and scrubbed. space was made for sunlight and fresh ideas. her fears were smothered with love and promise of security. they had no placed left to survive and so….her fears died a quick death.

She held on to her friends and saw a silent tear trickle down her cheek. She let it fall. For it was the last trace of yesterday’s cacophony.
