I had a very bad day at work. All I needed a distraction to free my mind. I wanted to erase the nagging feelings from my back of mind.
I stepped into the shower as soon as I returned back home. I showered long than usual. People say if something you can't get out of your mind even in shower you have gotten it very hard. Well, it's true after all. The attempt of draining the nagging feelings with hot shower water went in vain completely.
I wore the new pair of T - Shirt and jeans i had bought last week. Changes help - I have had heard. Humbling the song I had currently fallen in love with I made myself a mug of strong coffee. I added sugar in my coffee which i usually avoid. A spoon of white poison wouldn't harm that day I had thought.
Smelling the freshly brewed coffee in my mug i headed towards the bookshelf hoping to find something new in the rows, something which would take me to a new world for a while.
My fingers swayed upon the neat covers of different books in my collecction- both read and unread. I took out an unread book and flipped the pages. The smell of new book and the vapour of coffee mixed together, creating a different kind of addiction, taking me already in the world I was craving to enter.
I started reading after making myself comfortable on couch. Half way of the first page I was already intrigued to the story. Sipping from the coffee was happening as parallel reflex with reading. The mug got empited by the time I reached the third chapter. Placing the mug on the table beside me I make myself more comfortable on the couch. All the while I hadn't taken my eyes off from the book.
And I was lost finally. I was lost till I fell asleep. In sleep I dreamt the book world and not the world I dwel in reality.
Books give me solace. Books give me peace. Books divert my mind.
Book is my first love. Every time I return to it, it welcomes me with open arms. I find the reasons to fight back everyday in lines. I shape my life with their words. I, find the meaning of my life in pages.
It's my true friend, whom, I don't want to lose forever. ♥️
