“The Mirror That Remembered”

Ayaan loved old things more than new ones.

One afternoon, while cleaning the storage room, he found a cracked mirror hidden behind dusty boxes.

When he wiped the glass, his reflection appeared—

but the smile wasn’t his.

That night, a soft voice whispered from the mirror,

“Be honest.”

The next day at school, Ayaan told a small lie.

At home, a thin crack spread across the mirror.

The day after, he spoke the truth.

The crack slowly faded away.

Ayaan realized the mirror wasn’t magic—it was listening.

One night, the mirror spoke again:

“Truth sets you free.”

With shaking hands, Ayaan admitted every mistake he had been hiding.

The mirror shone brightly… then melted into clear water and vanished.

From that day on, Ayaan never feared the truth.

Because even without the mirror,

honesty had become his reflection.
