Her head felt as if some stone was there. she could feel it. Feel every nerve of her head. Those flashbacks kept coming back. She went to the kitchen and got a knife. She just felt like ending it. Ending the pain. Ending her life. But then it struck her. The one last flashback. He said,” you don’t love even love yourself.” It just struck her. What was she doing? Trying to kill herself. Prove him he was right. Why? Just because he rejected. She shouted as if telling the entire wordl,”this is not how my story is going to end”.
The phone ran. She picked it up. The lady on the phone said,” is this Ms. Riya?”. Yes. I am really happy to tell you that you have accepted to the business course in Harvard business school. Her happiness knew no bounds. It felt as if life has given her the new hope. The hope to live. The hope to make her dreams come true. She had one month before she could leave for America. And after two minutes of happiness she realized she had no one to call. Destiny had taken away her parents long times back and the only friend and love she thought she had, just rejected her.
Then came 3 seconds of sadness but the inner voice reminded her, “ the story is not going to end this way”. What did he said,” I don’t love myself!!”. May be he was right. In loving him I had just lost myself. Riya picked up her phone and called Arav. He sounded a little low as if a little guilty. Before Riya could say anything, he said,” you know I really liked you as a friend but yesterday I proposed anvesha and she said a yes”. I thought you knew that I was madly in love with her and she with me. I don’t know why I said what I said to you. I really don’t feel that way and I am really sorry for it.
Riya took a deep breath. Thanked universe she didn’t gave her life and said,” are you done”. Arav was shocked. He thought she would say something else. What? Yeah are you done. I want to meet you idiot and your skinny girlfriend too. Okay. When? Now. Meet me at ccd in an hour. I have got news to tell.
So after an hour they met. Riya congratulated them. His girlfriend was some diva man. Thin and tall and oomph it felt as if some model just dropped in. she finally ordered a cake and said,” I am going to America.” Arav said why? You idiot, don’t think I am going because of you. I have been selected to HBS. They all hugged each other and for the next one month Riya had the best time of her stay.
She went on an all India tour. Visited most of the cities of India. Met new people. Got rid of the dark circles. Although she did not become deepika from sonakshi. Fit is what you can call her. Happiness is what you could find in her eyes. Acceptance is what she had done. Yes. she accepted her for the way she was.
So, happy ending huh? But just think what if? What if she had killed herself? What if she never called Arav? What if? She would have lost her life. Arav would have held himself responsible and you never know what could he have done. What about the girlfriend? With her life, three lives would have surely got destroyed. What if she did not called arav. She would have surely lost a friend. So anyone out there who has been rejected, don’t hate. Neither yourself nor the ones who rejected. This is life. It is all part of it. No matter how bad the situations get around, don’t take the knife. You never know, what gift life has to offer. Hold on people, pain ends. Sunshine comes. Life is beautiful. Be dreamy, think about all the good and trust me, best is what you will get.
