As the days went by Akshata began to lose interest in everything and went on getting lost deeper and deeper into the abyss of depression ,upto the level of several suicide attempts...


Ankur (her husband) took her to the best psychiatric hospital and started both medications and councelling sessions for her .He tried to behave supportively towards her by paying attention to her eating,self-care and medicine schedule.


Though the medicines helped, the counselor's verses seemed like absolute trash to Akshata as she was suggested to grow orchids or to go on long trips etc. Finally she discontinued the sessions.


One thing she had liked long ago was reading and Ankur introduced her to the vast realm of reading on different sites in the internet. He literally placed a diary and pen in her hands to jot down whatever thoughts came to her mind. He persuaded her to cultivate any activity she felt interested in rather than fuming at the counselor's suggestions.


And she started reading and hearing audio books...One day she got a friend request from someone called 'Crazy Dreamer'. She laughed heartily after ages at the sheer uniqueness and immaturity of the nomenclature accompanied by a profile photo of a blank mirror and no adjoining information at all. As inexperienced as she was about the dangers of the digital world,she decided to accept the friend request to quench her inquisitiveness about him.


Crazy Dreamer began to post inspirational thoughts daily which made her look at life from a positive point of view. Then came the verses of appreciation of her qualities, her looks, calm personality, sensitive and loving nature and then followed the real compliments of the people around her about her new strong confident version.


She began to go out, make friends,attend functions , cracking jokes ,taking care while getting ready and wearing a perpetual smile on her lips ,which enhanced her beauty the most.


Her husband seemed to feel jealous of the sudden surge of attention she was getting and started to bring flowers and gifts for her, remembering all the important occasions regularly. He spent time with her, which consisted of extended dates including long drives ,cosy dinners and heart felt conversations..


On her birthday Ankur proposed to her, the good old way," Will you be my best friend? Now that you have anonymous admirers, I feel that I have to compete with them for your affection. So I want to start from the very beginning,that we have never had."


Akshata replied," My affection has always been for you my love, irrespective of all the dark days of our relationship that we have endured. It's your realisation of the mistakes of the past ,that makes you feel insecured of unknown admirers. It has nothing to do with me.By being my best friend you have erased all my non-healing wounds and given birth to a new confident and contented ,better version of me!!"and they toasted for new beginnings.


Late that night,when Akshata had submerged into a deep, peaceful slumber without being tormented by her usual nightmares after ages,her husband hi- fied their daughter Nikita," Well-done 'Crazy Dreamer'.." . She replied," Anything for you two ,dad!!!"
