    K is for …
~Kati Patang~



She walked ahead, in a daze, not realizing where she was heading. Rain fell down in pellets, drenching her completely, but Khushi couldn’t care less.

She didn’t feel pain anymore.

Not after what she had gone through.

Thoughts flashed across her mind, making her reflect on her life – the good, bad and the worst.

One thing was clear enough though – he never loved her. He wouldn’t have treated her the way he did if he had actually, truly loved her. He had instead let his hatred overshadow everything…. and had hurt her incessantly.

Not any more.

Khushi reached the edge of the cliff. She stood there, staring at the abyss below her. The wind blew across her face, and she looked up at the steadily darkening sky.

The stars had come out.

Khushi looked at a set of particularly bright stars, and whispered into the wind “I’m coming home, Ma.”

And then she jumped.

For a moment, she was free. Free from wrong assumptions, free from hatred, free from accusing eyes - free from everything.

She fell, like a kite severed from its string.

A Kati Patang.
