She stood waiting for a bus to take her home-
Having failed to get to office with the incessant rains and the delayed trains.
As she waited and saw empty buses parking themselves unintending to move
Her thoughts crawled to her family, especially her mother--Who manages the house with all the chores and moments of quiet anxiety without having any respite--
And suddenly she bursts out crying with remorse- I DON'T BELONG ANYWHERE!
The realisation dawned on her, and her exasperation gathered speed as welling tears in her eyes.
For a moment, she became quiet, without any thought, and closed her eyes-
And she distinctly heard the birds chirping, the wind playing gently on her skin and noticed the light of the sun made mellow by the drizzling clouds as she opened her eyes..
She saw then- I BELONG HERE.
And all her unease and tense emotions made an instant disappearance as her heart rested again in that deep knowing of her true home.
