Meera's Voice

Meera is an ambitious girl, who was born in a middle-class family, she lost her parents in her early childhood and was left independent in her ways, she struggled with the pressure that society injected on her without her knowledge. And I am her neighbor, for the past 2 years, I started admiring her so much for her inspiring action but right now, she has gone far away to enjoy her real love. Something in me was pushing me to find out the truth behind it, so I searched everywhere yet, turned clueless at each point. To my excitement, there was a courier at my table named " Meera's Voice" and I started to read the Diary that Meera has written on her last day.

26th September 2021,

Dear Mr. Diary,

This is Meera a courageous girl who found out the true LOVE. You know Mr. Diary from small age people around me thought that I am the smartest girl in my family, but I think that became my limit as I started to run behind the smartness forgetting my brightness. I knew I am intelligent, but I don't know why I am trying to prove to others maybe it's because I want to answer all their questions. Anyways it's been years, and I am still struggling with it, and I knew most of the others like me are trying to prove at least to someone who they are. In all these years, I ran behind the books for marks, ran behind the life for a nice future, and I knew for most of the time I was running behind, but one fine day I took a resolution to run forward, as I understood the real me in ME.

Moreover, from the first day of moving forward, I started becoming an inspiration to all the people around me, and I thought to have some pleasant lovely people around because I felt of sharing my exploration and emotion with them like everyone. However, most of the time, my love will be bestowed with hugs from the pillows at night and hands of Loneliness on days. So I decided to search for love, which can fulfill me completely, because right now I have everything in my career but don't have a person to hug me or tell me to travel more, and the only damn thing that I wanted in this entire universe is a ' Hand to support and to weep my tears '. And you know, after a long time I really got an elder brother in a business meeting he was like a birth-brother who took care of me in all the situations and yes we made it for 4 years and I knew he will never leave me even if I go away from him.

In all these years, the silly arguments for ice-creams, debating for IPL teams, birthdays bashes, pillow fights, and spicy curries that we cooked together on weekends are unforgettable pictures that I remember, even right now. But Mr. Diary you know what, on his birthday he gave me an immense shock, that he suffered from the last stage of Gall bladder cancer, and the doctors have given him his last timeline. I don't know what to do, I just need him till my last breath yet, I knew I am being selfish with him, but the only thing I can do is to give him a tight hug, as he is still my Cutie ANNA and I am his sweety princess.

However, he gave his last message to me which he meant for all, and that is we start loving some people around us when they show us love, but you know at sometimes they have to leave us, as nothing is continual here, and when that bond breaks off, we lock ourselves in a dark room which still has a light to come, but get fooled due to the horrid darkness. And believe me, when love goes a long away from you, rather than sitting up inside four walls, just explore around with love and understand the love in you, because at any point of time the Love can never lose, until we lose with ourself. And with this last loving message, in my own lap like a baby, my brother slept off and never woke up again. But Mr. Diary you know something, this time I never sat inside the four walls or tried any kind of suicide, as I knew the Love will never lose until I lose and I realized that rather than searching for love around, we have to love ourselves first and for sure we get loved back again.

And Mr.Diary this is the last day with you, as I am going far away from here to feel the happiness and the LOVE that is spread everywhere, and this time I am not going to search for the LOVE, but I am going to LOVE myself first.......................

Though it was a short message from Meera, I explored her dark secrets and got my answers for my question and that is Love starts from YOU, no matter who you are..........
