This wasn’t the first time she didn’t had her
supper but it happens very often. The next day she woke up early, did all her
work went to the college, completes the left on works, and got into her room.
She selected the best dress she had. A cute pink salwar suit which her mom
gifted her in her last days. This in fact, was her lucky attire. She escaped
quickly from the house. Everyone was out for movie and she will definitely
return before they are back so she was less tensed about it. That day she
waited in the park for four odd hours and when it was dawning she came back.
Nikhil wasn’t there that day. For the next one week Trisha waited for him to come
but he didn’t. This time Trisha was little tensed, is everything ok... he never
misses a day without coming to the park with his gang. This time no one from
his group came. The next day Trisha got to know from the security of Nikhil’s
place that he is out for vacation and will be back this evening. She was very
happy and decided to tell him everything she feels about. She wanted to propose
him for a date.
In the evening when she saw Nikhil sitting
there with all his friends she got damn nervous and couldn’t gather the courage
to reach him. Instead she called a friend of Nikhil whom she knew and handed
the letter to him and asked him to give it to Nikhil.
Nikhil wide opened the letter and read it loud
in front of all his friends. When finished everyone started laughing aloud. One
of them stood up and reached her. She was waiting at some distance for the
answer. She somewhat felt that the answer will be positive. Her love is so pure
and tranquil that Nikhil will have to accept it. when she saw the friend of
Nikhil’s; coming towards her she was on the top of the world. “Today it’s my
day” she thought but what happened next was enough to shatter her into pieces.
“What do you think of yourself? Who are you? A
bloody poor girl,next door. Why do you think Nikhil is gonna accept you. ..You
are doing some sort of home science courses and that is what this arts people
do. And our Nikhil is doing engineering. His father is the top class
businessperson of the country. Why would he choose a middle class Behnji girl
like you? Go and have a look at yourself. You look so damn... aren’t you that
girl who works as house cleaner in Rita aunt’s house. They enrolled your name
in the college so that you can study. So good people and you ...you are trying
to trap a rich guy...! just get lost and don’t ever show your face to us... and
don’t even dare to see Nikhil in your dreams also...!!!”
Those words fell as thunderstorm on Trisha. She
never thought of getting rejected in such an embarrassing and insulting way.
She couldn’t hold on to her tears.
Nikhil looked straight to those smoky eyes. The
tears falling over her nose and getting into the lips. She couldn’t hold on to
anything. No more. But,Nikhil found that girl somewhat interesting. He had
something in his mind, something naughty!
Trisha’s broke into million pieces and ran
straight to her house. Went inside her room, locked the door, and cried hard
for the next few hours. She remembered those uncountable days she wasted
sitting in the park just to have a single look of Nikhil, those sleepless
nights she spend thinking of her charmer.
Life isn’t so easy. You can’t get everything
you want and moreover it’s not always possible to get love from the one you
love. This is a tough journey, you need to be strong and fight for your livelihood.
She thought of all her hardships and tried to be normal. For the next few
weeks, Trisha remained lost. She didn’t come out of her house not for a while,
not even for her classes. Kept herself busy with the household works and did
lot of mistakes, enough to skip her meals. She had grown pale but no one
noticed it!
