Just a Letter!

Dearest Aditi,

Drinking tea? I bet you are. How are you doing? I did not wish to start the letter with such cliche questions but now that this year 2020 has taught me that these cliche questions are what make one's lives and relations healthy and worth living, I will continue to ask. Hopefully, you are joyful while reading this letter and have a lot to share with me, unlike the days when you sit gloomily near a window or breathing under an open sky, flying high amidst the sunshine. Because if the latter is the case, I know how heavy your heart must feel after reading this question and you would have wanted badly to share a lot, still. Just one thing, dearest Aditi, do share and do speak. Liberate yourself from the shackles of the past and live.

Do you still cry on your birthday and feel claustrophobic? Did you reach to the roots and found out why? Oh! You did already. Are you doing something to mend it?

2020 had a lot to teach and it certainly did. Months passed by. Quite slowly and quickly. January was the longest.

Did you allow someone to hug you or not? I wish I could hug you tightly and mend all those pieces. I am sorry for everything. Hopefully, you are now happy and working at a place that is best for you. Also, keep writing, please. You ain't at peace without it and you know that.

I am proud of you irrespective of what position you are at. Just to say, I am proud of you and you know very well why I am.

Ending with a short note;
मुलाक़ात कर लेना खुद से बस एक बार
सुना है भीड़ में खोना आसान है
तुम सबसे अलग हो
कुछ तो बात है
अल्फाज़ हज़ार, यादें एक लाख हैं
तुम, मेरी जान, बताना सबको
खामोश तो खामोशी भी नहीं।

With love,
Yours @20
