New Girl in Town

Have you ever been to Northern Eastern part of India?  The gargantuan Himalaya, blissful portrait-some valley and the beautiful people. Once you go there, I bet you will long to visit the place again and again. This story is about a beautiful homely girl from the heavenly vale. “Priyanka Samanta”, PrikS in short.

Priks, the eldest of thee siblings had her own set of principles, and being the eldest daughter she took the conscientiousness of her kiddo sisters. With time she became a role model for them. Her dedication was showing its colours.

It was a fun filled family but come what may something was lost in the background. Over years her numbers of friends decreased where her sisters made more and more new friends, they lived their life fullest; they had parties and boyfriends where Priks started feeling little outdated among them though the age difference was not much.

Its not that no one proposed her in her school, but she didn’t want to set a ‘wrong’ example for her sisters, but later when her sisters introduced her to their boy friends something did hurt inside.

A small number of people go through this sort of circumstances when gradually you start thinking that your sacrifice was worthless. But God always has some other plans for you, same distress feeling brought someone close to her. A ‘friend of friend’ with whom she started sharing her feelings what she never shared with anyone. In simple word the “Orkut” friend was becoming more than a friend. From chats they migrated to sms and calls. Life was becoming ‘awesome’ for her, the aboriginal feeling became a boost to her self confidence. The “Pehla Nasha” kind of situation, the sweet background music filled her heart with a new joy. He too reciprocated the same feeling but those three words were never spoken, Priks was too shy and expected it to come from his side.

Mumbai was the city where Deepak lived. After graduation Priks was looking for her MBA . What could be a better choice than Mumbai? Convincing parents and leaving her home town Shillong was a tough call, but for love people travel half the globe, Shillong to Mumbai was just 2,788.5 kms. She came all way to meet the person whom she though to be her ‘soul mate’.

But the “Soul mate” the meaning changed sooner when Priks expressed her feelings for him. Suddenly everything transformed like a sci fi movie, the violins stopped playing, phone didn’t beep alerting his sms and calls. When she wanted to know the reason , he quoted to be busy and after few tried Priks realised he was avoiding her. Being a very strong and self-valued girl she called it a past but didn’t forget that bitter experience.

The time was tough, new town and no one to call her own, but she didn’t rushed back home in sadness and pain, instead she stood straight and continued her studies, guided her sisters through out.

I had heard that bitter experiences make people strong , I saw it happening with her. The simple girl transformed into a woman in no time. For a moment I could relate her with Kareena Kappor of “Jab We Met” , though our Priks were more mature but still love makes a person blind. We expect least danger from the person whom we love and knowingly –unknowingly we gave them all power to hurt us. And when they do hurt, some of us hang ourselves in hostel and dorm rooms, but same time a few of us get transform into Ryan and Priks. But surely after the storm we become a different person inside and sometime outside too.

Two Years later by look and appearance Priks has revolutionize a lot. No one though the simple girl from Shillong would make it to one of the biggest News & Broadcasting Company. Her life style changed over the years and one day a friend request popped up on her Facebook. Deepak …

She thought a hundred times before accepting it, but a common friend broke the ice. Few days later he called her on her old number and asked if she could meet ….. 

Should she ?
