Confession !!!


Tears of love, anger and suffocation trickled down her bright round face. She was suffocated because she wanted to confess. People admit their love but that’s what you do when you are proud and enchanted by proximity of your beloved. This was confession and you confess when you are hurt or dejected.

Confessions are strange things. They open you up and let you free like a balloon full of helium.  Some confessions are like volcano eruptions. The surroundings become aware with the explosion, and the heat with its utmost intensity burn things around; even the very mountain that has served as a womb for such a ferocious thing is shaken and shattered. Some confessions are like global warming. Slow and steady with drastic effects in the long term but noticed by only those who are curious and caring enough. Nimra was melting the same way under the heat of confession. She opened up. She loved someone and now she was hurt.

Nimra loved someone deep because she was by nature extremist. So was she, in case of relationships. Sometimes she could go to the peak of indifference which would tempt you to hate or dump her friendship. Only the very close ones were aware of this extremism. She oscillated between love and indifference, like a pendulum oscillating to extremes. This time when Nimra opened up she was looking so innocent, so pure and childlike. Rameez, her friend, tried to distract her from more confessions because confessions are also very pure and personal. But she confessed and kept expanding, like a vast ice over a pond, melting due to the heat of sun burning miles away due to its own confession.

Everything in nature confesses; falling leaves of maple, scaling skin of snakes, changing phases of moon and so on.  Yet, maples feel light with falling leaves, snakes hope for new skin and moon transforms into new moon.  Exactly the same way, Nimra was feeling light the other day after the long confession hour she spent with her friend Rameez who listened to her and wiped her tears off with a kiss. A kiss which was as pure as her confession !
