I had planned to cry myself to sleep. To let the pain finally take over, no longer trying to snuff it out. Yeah, all this while it had been roaring, trying to fight its way to the surface. And I had been pleading with it and at times, just smothering it and trying to keep myself in order.
But at the fag end of the day, on my way back home, my mind chose to skate lightly on the fading moments.
Some of them stood out – they had somehow managed to make me smile – and it had been a heartfelt smile, and not a cursory one. It might have been that unexpected friendly smile when I was expecting to be taken to task or that heartwarming gesture which showed that some still cared for that shy mouse of a girl who was always on edge.
And I just realized – Life has its own offbeat ways of making you smile…
