"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.
Bani stared at her hands, unsure if she was speaking to herself or the space around her. "So… I'm a magical farmer now?"
A gentle yet knowing voice resonated within her mind.
"You could say that. The land of your mind, your heart, and your emotions is fertile ground. Just sow the seeds, and watch things grow. But no rush—we have all the time in the world."
As Bani lay in her hospital bed, she realized that even though her body was confined, her spirit was free in ways it had never been before. The space within her was no longer just an escape—it was her ally, her second chance. And maybe, just maybe, she was about to become the most powerful farmer the world had ever known—right from her own mind.
Bani sat quietly in the backseat as her brother drove her home from the hospital. The cool air outside felt distant, her body still adjusting to the softness of her seat.
The moment she stepped inside, exhaustion took over. She barely made it to her bed before collapsing onto the familiar sheets, the comfort of home wrapping around her like a gentle embrace. Her brother, always the responsible one, made sure she was comfortable before heading to the kitchen.
