Falling Like Snow

Chapter 1: A fairytale

Jyeshtha:

Mumma always used to tell me the story of Rupanzel. I still remember how she told me of the prince who climbed up Rupanzel's long hair to reach the tower and also saved her later on he fell in love with Rupanzel at first sight.

I was so fascinated with disney fairytales that I would always tell her of my wish to have long hairs like Rupanzel. She would laugh and and everytime give me the same reply, "You don't need long hair to be beautiful, my dear. You are beautiful just the way you are."

"And what about my Prince?" was my next question and mumma chuckled at me.

"He will find you just like Rupanzel's did." was her short reply.

"But I already found mine." I had told her, my eyes looking here and there to avoid hers and my lips pouted cutely.

"Oh Darling, that's even better but you know what it's not your hair that matters, it's your heart." She had smiled shaking her head.

"What do you mean mumma?" I had asked our of curiosity even though I refused to tell her my Prince charming's name.

I still remember it clearly, She had taken up Dad's frame in her hand and had caressed it, thinking of the right words, "Your Prince charming will see the love in your heart shining in your eyes, and he will know that you are the one for him just like you will."

"And how will he know where to look for me." I raised my eyebrows at her.

She leaned in closer to me, dropping a kiss on my forehead and gently keeping Dad's photo frame in the bedside table, "Oh, my darling, he will find you. Just like the the prince found Rupanzel. Because True love has a way of finding it's way to the people who loved it the most."

I always believed I could see the love both of them had in their eyes just like Mumma told me, but that's not how they ended up.

They divorced, Dad went through an accident and Mumma left the home, leaving Veer and me behind. For a moment, I almost thought that True love is nothing but a whole load of bullshit but then I saw Badi ma and Bade papa, Sia bhabhi and Ansh bhaiya, Shaurya bhai and Shraddha bhabhi.

Bff proved how much he loved Grace, and all the things Asher went through to get back Felicity. It's not that true love isn't there, it's just so very rare for us to find.

And My mumma and Dad were lucky enough to find it but it's not always love that is needed alone in a marriage. And I could see it, the same love and care in their eyes even when they were divorced but I could see the trust, that thing flickering between them.

The way Mumma refused to let him take me home from car because she pointed out that he hasn't slept a night before, wasn't what mumma usually would do.

She always knew that Dad will take all the pain on him before he let any harm come to me and that day when she didn't trust him for my safety, I knew something was wrong.

No one will tell me, but it's okay because even if they decided to part away, it was their mutual decision and a right one because sometimes we fall out of love and that's okay as long as we move on with acceptance.

But that doesn't mean that there is no true love in the world because Romeo and Juliet weren't just a figment of our imagination or maybe they are but there are so many of them in reality that the figments don't need to be in count anymore.

Veer blames mumma for what happened to Dad but divorce was both of their decision, it had nothing to do with mumma alone. I too miss Dad and I am mad at Mom for leaving us behind but that was her decision and as much I blame her for abandoning us, I don't hate her.

When she left, so did Veer's trust on the thought of finding his true love. He doesn't totally disregards the idea but he so calmly refuses to take a thought about it for him even once for he thinks he will get nothing but betrayal in the end.

He says, he is incapable of love and being loved but I say that the day he find love, he will burn the whole world for her.

Aavyansh bhai fought his fear for rain to dance with Sia bhabhi, Bade papa and Badi ma fought their parents and their so called rivalry for them to end up together and I, well, I am chasing my brother's bestfriend waiting for him to love me back.

It may sound stupid but it's not a tiny-viny crush on him, he is my dream and I don't plan to let go until he lets me in his heart.

I just couldn't sit still, my heart thrumming with nervous excitement as I waited for my result and I knew it was going to be the same for three days until my result arrives.

I would find out if my dreams would come true. I had applied to one of the most prestigious colleges in India, a place where only the best of the best were accepted. And now, the acceptance letter lay in that stack of envelopes, waiting to change my life forever.

"Jyeshtha, calm down dear," Badi ma said, her voice tinged with amusement as she watched me pace back and forth in the living room.

I flashed her a nervous smile, unable to contain my anticipation. "I can't help it, badi ma. This is the college of my dreams. If I get in, it'll be a dream come true."

"And you dream will come true sweetheart," She assured me.

"But what if I don't get in?" I asked making a sad face.

"There is still some time for the results to arrive, don't stress yourself too much princess." Badi ma added coming towards me.

Bade papa chuckled from his spot on the couch, his eyes twinkling with pride. "You will get in, Princess. You've worked so hard for this moment. We're all so proud of you."

I felt a surge of warmth at his words, knowing that I had my family no matter what. But the college was my one way ticket to him and I couldn't miss it.

"Why don't we go for a movie then?" Badi ma suggested giving both of us a bright smile as Bade papa and I looked at each other knowing very well it was going to be some classic Bollywood from the 90s like always but nodded anyways. Her smile lightening up our mood as I surfaced the internet for the movie tickets and finally settled on watching the movie at our own home theatre.

And that is Jyeshtha Singh Raichand you all!

She has got a lot of chasing to do but don't worry her personality won't disappoint you.

Also this character is one of my personal favorite so you all can expect alot from her because she is going to be fire.

And although she fell first and harder, Yug is going to fall the hardest for her.
