"MY MYSTERY GIRL" - Ankith Sreeni

MY MYSTERY GIRL

          When Ms.Minna and Ronny sir told us about this creative assignment, I thought about writing some story or a poem just like others. But later I thought of something when they mentioned the blog. But I wasn’t able to write anything. I was totally blank for the next two days. I don’t have enough experience in my life to write something from my life. But this girl made me write something. Something from my life. Something from her life. And finally I decided to write about that.

          So friends, who are reading this article may see this as a story, some may think this as a description and there may be some who think something different. But the truth is, this contains all of these. That is a small picture of life can be called as a story, my observations on her could be description, my experience in this college and something more. So I hope my little work touches all of you.

          When I joined this college, like other boys, I too had my little wishes. That included having awesome friends, enjoying, being a part of glamorous class with many good looking girls and the best academic tenure. But fate didn’t grant me the wish in every means. Well my dream class was totally different. All were intelligent and brilliant(PADIPISTS!!). I felt dissatisfied. But I was totally wrong in understanding the pulse of my class. My PADIPIST friends made me realize that a ‘glamorous’ class is nothing but a wrong notion. Today my class is my heaven. Now I am able to find the beauty in my class and it is the best.

          During my 3 months in this college, I have identified my classroom as the best platform to develop my personality. But I don’t know what made me notice a girl in midst of every other activity. I found her face in gloomy state whenever I saw her. I found her desperate. She sits in the class sorrowfully, walks and thinks sorrowfully and even smiles sorrowfully. I got interested in observing her. So I attempted each and every way to begin our friendship. At last when we met, I was surprised as she knew me already.  I wished to know about her silence.  Later some day, she told me-
Ignorance is the best way to stay out of trouble”.
  From that day, she taught me many things from her past.  She talked like she had a wide experience of life.  She had a new concept of life.  But she was afraid of something to accept her own concept and lead a life according to that.

Friends, I am happy to share her concept of life with you. Because it really made a difference in me. 
This is your life, do what you love.  If you don’t like something, change it.  Life is simple.  All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite of your life.  Life is short. Live your dream and share your passion.” 

I knew there was a lot more in her. Gradually I found she was comfortable talking with me. But her character was still unknown. So I was afraid what she will think of me. She only had attachment with her cousin brother more than that to her own family. Because always problems in the family added to her trouble. She tried hard to find her image in her family . But she couldn’t find it though. She was happy in describing her cousin brother. I remember what she told about him-
“He is the reason why I can stumble so fearlessly into adventure. Because  he is always there, to correct me when I make mistakes, to support and console me whenever I feel low and to love me like a little sister.”

I saw life in her. But she was afraid to lead that life. I saw beauty in her, wherever she was. Beauty in the way she carried herself through that life and its distressing ways. She felt loneliness a lot. No complaint for that. Because her life, at different points made her alone. She was forced to sacrifice her beautiful past for her unwanted future scripted by her parents. She couldn’t bear that kind of decisions. Even after that she still stands in her feet and I could see her strength, courage and willpower in that. But still she is afraid of something. Something haunts her through all her decisions and makes her reverse it. 

She could understand everyone. But no one can understand her. Her mystery lies unrevealed. I was shameful as I couldn’t understand her fully. In between our conversation I found her ‘something’. Something that she is afraid of. Something that makes her still for a while. Yes friends, it’s the ‘society’, that she is afraid of . It’s her surroundings. She couldn’t spread her wings within the cage of our society. She is pulling her limit inwards for this society. 

Today I can understand her completely. But I was late. Now when I woke up, her face is unclear for me. Her voice makes me think differently like her. But I’m really late and it’s hard for me to believe that everything I saw and shared with her was my dream. It’s true that, not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. 
Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself and to make you feel better for a little while.

I don’t know whether you guys liked it or not. But tell me friends, is this  a dream or a nightmare? It’s hard for me to choose and to believe……
