Fridays, books & some ghazals maybe?

A goodbye letter was found on her desk at 5.  An unusual Friday evening.   While the room saw many beaming smiles, she was exhausted on her job drama.  Back home with a heart full of regrets,  she was ready to retrace her steps,  in the misery 2020.  Yet, all the woes found their decimal point, in Jagjit Sing's alleviating ghazal; //Aaj Janaa Pyaar ki  Jaadugari Kya Cheez Hai,  Ishq Kijiye Phir Samajhiye,  Zindagi Kya Cheez Hai,  Khulti Zulfon Ne Sikhhayee, Mausaumon Ko Shayaree.//  Played on the TV flowing with the library scene.  That pleased smiled came back on her lips, through her electrifying veins.  A warm hug and a cup of chai  broke the silence,  Maa's routine, every evening at 6.  Home's scent was finally coming in with a wave of freedom,  as her steps drew closer to the bookshelves, shucking off the night-clubbing texts. Her lost ishq was found again,  in the books dwelling happily in the lights.  An unusual yet unruffled Friday.
