No. no. no…. this cannot be happening..
‘Yes. It is!’- came the reply.
But, I can’t believe it!
‘Oh, yes I knew that, you have written all about yourself in me and I pretty well know about your habit of not believing people, and in today’s case things, easily’, my journal wrote.
Today, it suddenly got feelings and started talking and today as I am writing in it (what should I call it now) it is replying to all the things! Unbelievable!!
To what I wrote, it replied,“Ok Akarsha enough! First of all, I had feelings all along. Secondly, refer to me as ‘she’, not it! And lastly, start believing that it is normal for a journal like me to talk! ‘
I was writing and recording all the things she was saying inside her only.
I wrote, she answered. I couldn’t believe that she had read all my secrets! To this, she said (more like teased) “ohhooo …. I know dear Akarsha’s secrets!!! If you don’t believe in me now, I will babble out all of them to your mum and teachers and friends…’.
Now, I got scared. She said ‘WHY DO YOU FORGET THAT I CAN READ WHATEVER YOU WRITE IN ME!!! ‘
“Okay, I am certainly dreaming… Any second now, I will be waking up to find my journal back to normal and just sitting quietly on my desk”, I wrote.
“No, you won’t… no, you won’t…’ these were the last words that I saw appearing in my journal before drifting off to sleep. Do you think I will wake up inside my vindictive journal?
