The smoke
engulfed the room as she lay on her bed, and smoked for the first time, tears
flowing down her eyes, and images of last night playing in her mind. She was
perfect girl till now and everyone used to praise her, but little did she
realize that they were all using her, until last night, when her fiancé cheated
on her with her best friend. She hadn’t felt so much vulnerable ever before.
She felt she was losing control on her life. She stopped as the entire room
filled with smoke and she was hardly able to breathe. She threw the cigarette
and went on to open the windows. The fresh breeze was a soothing change for her;
she let the air in, not only in her room but also in her life. She realized how
stupid she was to ruin her life for not so worthy people. She was not weak, she
was not vulnerable, and she was not going to let a small incident ruin her. She
called up her parents and broke the engagement, called up her boss and asked
for leave for few weeks and booked the tickets for Goa, and she was not going
to go alone. She was going with the people, who mattered to her the most. A
family vacation was long due.
And there
she was, from a weak, vulnerable and crying girl, she transformed into a
mature, strong and independent lady. She need no man to make her feel wanted or
beautiful, she need no man to make her realize her worth. She knew she is
beautiful, she knew she is capable of handling any hardships which life gives,
she knew what she deserves, and who deserves her nd she knew whatever happened,
happened for the best.
Like the
fresh breeze, she started her life afresh, with a promise to herself that she
won’t ever give importance to unworthy people, she won’t ever question her
worth, and she won’t ever give the control of her life to anyone else no matter
what happens.
