"Deep silence, huh? What's the matter? You look confused."

He wasn't used to her silence at all. With her, it was always the chatter. And this sudden silence was worrying.

"I don't know. I just feel like I'm trapped in this maze which keeps going round and round. And like a fool, I keep walking in it as well." She hit her head hard with her hands and then flawed those hands like wild in the air. "Ahh...My mind feels worse than a Bermuda triangle right now."

He chuckled at the theatrics. This girl and drama, it was a bond that won't break in any situation. And like many times before, he was once again supposed to be the director and guide her play back on track.

"Look at the brighter side of it," he lightly placed a hand on her shoulder as she turned towards him, "You're the only one who knows the entire maze inside out. You're the only one who knows every little bright and dark corner of this maze. You, my little girl, are the only one who knows where the door to exit this maze is."

"Then why can't I find it?"

"Because you aren't looking for it. You're so busy running around the thing that you've forgot what your goal is. The journey is important, but it has no meaning without an end. If you deny to search for an end because you're afraid of what you'll find there, then the maze will keep going round and round. Lose your inhibitions and grab the exit door, it's right there, waiting for you to open it."

And once again she was lost in silence. This time though, he didn't mind. Because he knew she was going through that maze again, but with a different purpose. And he was sure she'd come out of it.

After all, he knew his little princess.

"Life will always remain a maze determined to keep you trapped. The task is to keep finding doors to different sections of it."

So, how's your puzzle of life?
