Unknown Mind: Viyan’s Diary – Part 7: Whispers Before the Leap

 🧠 **Unknown Mind: Viyan’s Diary – Part 7: Whispers Before the Leap**

Some nights aren’t dark because there’s no light.  

They’re dark because your mind becomes a storm.

This was that night.

---

I sat outside on a cement bench.  

Staring at the hospital gate.  

And suddenly, I felt it —  

That whisper from inside me:

> “What if I just walk away?”  

> “What if I disappear into silence… forever?”

My legs shook. My fingers went cold.

---

And then…

A message popped up.

> **Yalini:**  

> *"Where are you?"*

I didn’t reply.

Another message.

> *“You don’t have to talk. Just share your location.”*

I stared at it.

And then — without thinking —  

I clicked **Share Location**.

---

Fifteen minutes later, she appeared.

No makeup. No words.  

Just **a milk packet** in one hand  

and **a crumpled handwritten note** in the other.

She gave it to me and walked away.

---

The note said:

> *"If you ever feel like ending it…  

>  

> End the pain.  

>  

> Not the person."*

> *"You are not the bad chapter.  

> You’re the author who’s still writing."*

---

I read it ten times that night.

And something inside me…  

*snapped back*.

Not fully healed.  

Not fully okay.

But enough to whisper:

> “I’m not walking away.  

> I’m walking through it.”
