15 The Garden Within

Bani's chest tightened as memories flooded her—of her marriage, the silence that followed, and the unbearable weight that nearly broke her. The garden had grown as she did, her doubts turning into blossoms, her fears into roots.

"It was always present inside you," the voice continued. "But time, and your own heart, chose this moment for you to awaken it."

The realization hit her like a wave. The garden was not separate. It was part of her, born from the same soil. It wasn't just a place. It was a mirror of her soul, shaped by everything she had been through.

Bani exhaled, a weight lifting from her shoulders. "So, this... is mine."

Bani frowned. "I'm starting to think I'm not even sure what's real anymore. So, is this whole space thing inside me, like, physically? Is there some sort of magical garden growing in my organs now?"

There was a brief pause, and then the voice responded, almost teasingly.

Space : "Physically? No, not quite. More like metaphorically inside you, in your heart and mind. Think of it as a reflection of your inner world. It's a space that reflects your emotions, your thoughts. It's not literally inside your spleen, if that's what you're imagining."

Bani blinked, processing that.

"So, I'm supposed to believe that my insides have a magical farm now?" She shook her head in disbelief. "And I thought I was the crazy one. You're saying this space always existed, and I just didn't know?"

Space: "Exactly! Master, You were too busy dealing with life to notice. Now that you've unlocked it, we're bonded, we're in this together.

Bani groaned, closing her eyes.

But, how do I even start? here we have a problem as I don't know nothing about agriculture. and also it's inside me how can I alone do all the farm work.

"It's all about the energy you put into it. The space responds to your emotions. Grow it with your thoughts, your desires. You've got the power now. Just start believing it's real." space answered.
