‘Nobody understands me except
my friends. And I am going to meet them’ – she screamed with tears streaming
down her eyes and ran outside. There she
was. Holding them in her arms, she felt complete. They understood her solitude.
They provided her everything without expectations. Smelling them, she felt calm.
Books! Ah, her ultimate companions.
A book lover. The smell of a new book is very tempting.
