It was 2 a.m.
Only the table lamp was on in the room.
Anaya sat on the edge of her bed and opened her old diary.
The diary that had been with her since her school days.
On its first page, it was written:-
"Ananya - Future Writer."
Touching the line with her fingers, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Writer.
This word always made Anaya feel special.
Becoming a writer was Anaya's childhood dream.
While all the other girls dreamed of becoming doctors, teachers, or getting government jobs,
She quietly wrote stories.
Behind her notes.
On the last page of her book.
Sometimes while sitting on the bus.
Anaya picked up her pen, opened a new page, and...
wrote :-
I want to be a writer.
I want people to see their own stories in the words I write.
I never want my mother to have to worry about money.
I don't want my father to have to count his medicines.
She paused for a moment.
Her breathing became heavy.
Then she wrote:-
"But right now, I'm just an intern."
The salary is small.
The household expenses are high.
And she closed the diary.
The dream was locked inside.
Reality stood outside.
Her mother peeked into the room and said,
"Go to sleep, dear; you have to wake up early tomorrow."
"Yes, Mom."
As soon as her mother left, tears welled up in Anaya's eyes.
These tears weren't tears of weakness.
They were tears for the dreams that had been put on hold and locked away in the diary.
She lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
A voice whispered in a corner of her heart:-
One day, everything will be alright, But my mind says—
I have to pay the EMI first.
A reminder for the internship pops up on her phone.
The deadline is tomorrow.
And she get up and open her laptop.
The diary is closed.
So is the dream.
Now all that's left is to work,
And responsibilities.
Ananya knew —
Dreams would be fulfilled later.
First, she had to handle her responsibilities..
