Her New Friends
It's been a long time
Since she went out from that building
It's better to call it a cage than a building
It was simply a place of
No freedom, no hobbies , no outings
No use to explain herself to the people there as most lived their life to the fullest and ready to relax while the others were busy with their own things and interests
As it follows the same routine every day
Nothing new or fresh but have to stay there forever
One such day she fell in love with books
And there ends her loneliness
She found out new friends all around the world
And they told their tales to her
Sometimes painfully , sometimes mystically
Sometimes humorously , Sometimes vigorously
Some of her friends were honest and some were liars
She loved both with same heart
She was on the cloud nine when they spare time for her and share their stories expecting nothing in return
which were something she longed for many years
She accompanied them to their places with high enthusiasm
No matter whether it is a landscape or desert
No season block her mind from going there
She got introduced to thousands of new lands
and new culture and simply became a bird
who needs no passport to travel all around the world
Some friends leave her alone with the last page of the book
Some stays a little more time and others forever
What makes her happiest is she is getting new friends consistently something she missed for years
No exaggeration is there in saying books and stories are the best medicines for loneliness
