It was some 8.30 PM when she messaged me "Meet me". I got ready and went to the forest place. She was standing there with her one leg folded against the tree and with a cigarette in her hand. "Hey", I called out. "Oh.. Hi..", she seemed like a totally different person. A person I never knew.. She was so lost. "So do u like long stories? ", she asked without looking at me. "A kind of", I said flatly shrugging my shoulders. "But I have a question that u have to answer sincerely and honestly", she said. "K", I replied briefly. "R u interested in knowing that? ", she looked at me now. "Yes.. Obviously ", this was a feeling I didn't know how to express. A problem I was in was being solved now on its own. "No one ever was.. Y r u? ", she raised another question. "Don't know.. Just like that.. ", he shrugged his shoulders. "Promise.. U won't reveal it to anyone ", she said keeping her hand in front of me. I put my palm on hers and said, "Promise". "Do u remember Alia Singhania? ", she asked with a heavy sigh. I nodded and said, "She was my first crush". She smiled and asked, "What made you attract towards her? ". "Everything about her...she is just fantastic and perfect", I replied. "Do u know the reality of her life? ", she asked. "Reality? ", I asked. "Yes.. Reality", she replied. "Alia Singhania, the daughter of the great business man Raj Singhania. Her dad never loved her coz she was a girl... He always wanted a boy but she was a girl... He never allowed her to be out except for the school and tuitions. He loved his fame.. So he would show that he had allowed her to go for interviews... But after each and every interview he would lock her up and beat her like animals.... When she was in 3rd grade she lost her world... Her mom... After that everything changed for her.... Her dad would often torture her... Very often.. She would sleep without eating dinner...... She got into depression.... When her dad got to know about it, he left her in his brother's house where everything was better and worse at the same time... Her cousin sister Netra Singhania loved her more than anything but her cousin brother Sameer Singhania had a bad eye on her... He would often try to.... ", she sighed for a moment and wiped off the tears and continued, "When she was 15, her uncle and aunt wanted her to get married to danish, a 25 year boy.. He was a business man in Saudi Arabia and so she would be away from them.... They black mailed her emotionally saying how they took care of her and what she was returning. One night while she was in her room, Netra came to her to reveal something... Danish was her ex. She asked Alia to run away and she would marry him as she hadn't got over him but deep inside I knew she didn't want it to happen... She had a dream to be a famous model but she gave it up... Alia didn't agree but she forced her to... She ran away from the world and was roaming around the streets... No one could recognise her due to her dusty face... One day while she was wandering aimlessly she saw a funeral ceremony on a TV. When she went closer her eyes went wide and filled with tears.. It wrote 'Alia Singhania, daughter of Raj Singhania died in an accident ' ", my eyes went wide as she took an audibly shaky breath in. But y was she saying it to me? "Alia Singhania then took the name of Aditi Verma", she said and my eyes went wide.. It was the zillionth time she shocked me... OMG!! "She then landed in a restaurant.. She was locked up in her first day for breaking a cup.. It went on for 2 years when she thought that her life had no value... She thought her life led her nowhere.. She tried to kill herself but a very kind man saved her.. He took her to his home but things turned out just like at her uncle's but worse. She was just alone and nothing else", she sighed and smirked and then continued, "She had forgotten to laugh and smile, to live and love until a boy Darshan Raval came into her life.. He made her laugh again, smile again and enjoy again.. He gave her the family she always wished for", and then she looked at me.. I smiled ... Really to be the reason for someone's smile feels good. "Don't reveal it to anyone... U r the first one to have earned enough of my trust to learn about it.. Please", she said pushing back her tears. "My mom always says it's not a sin to show your tears to the world", I said without looking at her as she tapped the ash out of her cigarette. Cascade of tears flowed down her eyes.. She needed it to be out... She was decieved in every relationship she had faith on... How can the world be so cruel?? I felt the urge to hug her when she said, "I wish I had someone to hug and cry... But I have spoiled a life and I don't think I deserve it.. ", she said. "No.. U haven't spoiled a life.. If u r talking about Netra Ahuja then look at this", I said showing her my phone which had her photos on internet in modelling. "N... Netra Didi... ", she said looking at it and cried harder... She hugged me and whispered, "U r the best thing that has happened to me.. ". I hugged her back... It was all she needed for the moment...
