HEALING MIRRORS

12

As I got ready for college the next morning, I was still lost in thoughts about yesterday's incident. I couldn't shake off the image of that person; he was straight out of a book, like a green forest. I really wanted to share this with Mihika. Oh god, the butterflies in my stomach were dancing. I hurriedly wrapped up everything and left.

As I entered college, Mihika was nowhere to be seen. "Where are you, you his tulip?" I was eager to spill some tea. I giggled and headed towards the class.

"Yes, I brought my presentation." I chuckled. I'll throw this presentation on that old professor's face; he really ruined my whole mood, I rolled my eyes.

I saw Tarun talking to a girl. I went close to him and tapped on his shoulder. He's literally a tower to me; of course, he will be, I'm 5 '1, and he's 6. He turned towards me, and he seemed emotionless.

"Oh, hey Eshana!" He said.

I greeted him and asked, "Umm, do you know where your tulip is?" He blushed and looked down. "Didn't she come today?" I frowned in confusion. "You guys went on a date yesterday, so where's she, Tarun?" I asked.

He replied, "Yes, we went. It was just a normal date. We went to eat at a restaurant, and then I dropped her home."

I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion. I was about to ask him, but he cut me off, saying, "I'm a little bit busy. I'll talk to you later."

I called Mihika but she didn't answer the call the first time. Something seemed off to me. Did they fight again on their date? Is she fine? Should I go or not? I headed towards the class.

My mind was filled with these thoughts when suddenly, my phone started ringing; it broke the chain of my thoughts. I glanced at the phone. It was Mihika. I picked up the call. "Hey, Mihi, why didn't you come today? Are you okay? Did he do something? I'll kill that guy, I swear." Mihika laughed on the other side of the call.

"He proposed to me, Esh. But we fought a little bit, and I accepted his proposal, we're dating now." she said. I was shocked and happy; finally, they are dating.

"But why didn't you come today? I wanted to tell you something so badly, Mihi," I told her.

"We will meet tomorrow for sure. I actually got my period in the morning, so I skipped today." She replied. I said okay and ended the call.

As I entered the class, I sat in my usual area near the window. Sunlight scattered all over my hands, making my skin shine. But my skin is shining, not me.

Why, God, this inequality? Some are as pretty as angels, and then there's me, just plain ugly. Whatever. I'm ugly. I wish I could be pretty like everyone else. I'll get surgery when I start earning. Even with makeup, I look worse, like a joker. Some girls are effortlessly beautiful; they don't need makeup—makeup needs them.

In a world of doubts and fears,She longs for love to calm her tears. Insecurities like shadows, they loom, Yearning for a love that can pierce the gloom. ~@reveriesverse

People here often overlook me, as if I'm nothing. I have no male friends. Why? Well, I never initiate conversations—I'm introverted. But is there really no one in the world who wants to be my friend?

Lost in my thoughts, I was snapped back to reality by someone's voice. I turned to see a new girl, her presence unfamiliar yet intriguing.Her confidence and ease seemed to radiate effortlessly, leaving me in envy. As she approached, I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to talk about.

"Hey! I'm new here. Can I sit here If you have no problem?" she asked, her voice is friendly and soothing.

I smiled gently and nodded. She was indeed beautiful, with her oval face, captivating eyes, perfect pink lips, and a small, cute nose. She exuded a natural charm that was hard to ignore.

"You're beautiful, girl!" I said.

She smiled and replied, "Not more than you. By the way, thanks."

"No, I'm not," I smiled painfully.

"Who said? Just look at you. You're like an angel. Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror? You're just ethereal."

After what she said, I just stared at her in amazement and shock. My own best friend had never said such things to me. It made me think that maybe I should step out of my comfort zone and initiate conversations. It was time to become more extroverted and open up to making new friends.

"So, what's your name?" I asked.

"Kyra. Yours?" she said.

"Eshana. You can call me whatever you want to," I chuckled.

"Then Ana? Is this okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's fine," I smiled, showing my bright smile.

"Your smile is so beautiful, like you," she said.

"Oh, come on, Kyra, you're simping over a dead flower," I said, a sad beam flickered on my lips, a bittersweet curve that held a world of unspoken sorrows

She chuckled and said, "I'm not simping over a dead flower. I'm simping over the most beautiful flower ever."

I spent all day with her. She's just so good to me. I'm really overwhelmed that I met her today. She told me many things about her past. She's so beautiful; how can someone do this to her, even though her parents didn't understand this thing?

That's totally wrong. Well, after this semester, she will change her college and go to Bangalore. I wished her the best of luck for her journey.

As I entered my apartment, Mihika's call came through. She said she's coming over for a night stay, and I couldn't be more excited.

When she arrived, we began discussing her date and the proposal. Initially, they had a fight, but he eventually convinced her, and now they're dating.

I also shared with Mihika about meeting Kyra and the incident with the flowers. She pointed out that he was just trying to help me, and I couldn't deny that she was right. It turned out to be the first and last time we met. I chuckled sadly at the thought.

We talked late into the night, and eventually, we both drifted off to sleep, knowing we had the next day off.
