Home and How!!

She lay between them..three of them just talking casually about the weather..and also about dinner plans..giggles in between about some distant friend or relative on their weird facebook status and post..In between there was talk of finances, her house loan, her new job, she asked about their retirement plans, their medical insurance, health and stuff..

In between this - She felt a blissful touch on her forehead and then another familiar one on cheek.. Suddenly all the broken versions of self within her tripped out.. she had been mending them for years since she had left home and somehow trying to keep together the mess.. and damn she was good at it.. although it came expensive - a few visits to therapist, some episodes of incessant tears puring down her cheeks, a few 100 pages in diary, about 300+ notes in her cellphone - all in just over seven years away from them.. 

Little did she know..that it will take one random moment of letting her guards down in her all-time refuge - to get it all out and going!!  She has never cried so hard in last few years. 

As for them - they did not understand any of it - like her therapist or friend or doctor or partner did - but they just wanted her to know that they were there for her - and guess that is all what she wanted - not the support groups or pills or gifts or words of wisdom.

That touch from them which so effortlessly and whole heartedly said they were there for her..someTWO were there for her..is all she had been wanting from life!! She was finally home and how!!
