The green fields in the plateaus of Chattisgarh create a awesome vibe in ones mind who so ever sees that. In the outskirts of the river based valley in the village of Karli there was big team of officers providing the village a good health. In the deep sun, with the springs rolls on her and with coconut tree plate, averagely tanned there lived a small little girl, daughters of one the officers there. Appu had two daughters named Sweta and Risha and he lived happily with his wife Ammu. There was something about Sweta that everyone liked but no one did try to understand her. She was quiet jealous of Risha but don't know why. She only had her great singular best friend, Shusrutha nicknamed Shus. Shus was only one whom she talked but even she was quite insecure. On the eve of Shus's birthday her relatives brought her a quite cute barbie dolls. She shared them with Sweta and they played with them happily.
"Hey this so cute ", replied Sweta with imagination of wearing those huge frocks.
" Yaa... Well my mamu is the one bought me those, and you know he quite so rich " Shus boasting about her family.
Well I never have someone to even buy some dolls insecurity rose in Sweta's mind.
After few weeks Shus was forced to go to her village because of her dadu's demise. She handed over her dolls to Sweta whom she only trusted and went away for the funeral.
Sweta was so happy taking care of that doll but suddenly there came a huge scary moment for her when she unknowingly broke the princess necklace. After that she never touched the doll. She saw that doll in the showcase everyday as a ritual but never dared to touch it.

The one thing she was scared of was how is she going to reclaim her act infornt of her friend. And as expected she came from her hometown.
" yeh how are you Sweta????" Shus examined.
"Yeah I am fine" Sweta said exhausted. After such long hours of examining Shus asked her about the doll. Sweta had none other option but to say the bitter truth.
She let out, but couldn't but simply blamed her sister Risha for behaving mischievous with her doll. Shus had a sensitive ear and broke over her sister Risha.

After a terrible curses and Risha being crying for no act of hers reached the ears of Ammu who came running by and understood the problem. Shus went home.

Ammu asked Sweta for truth and she had no other go to gulp down it and spat out whatever came to her. The catastrophe was relieved down on her mind but that was not the end of her, she got terrible scoldings and scars on her face legs and arms.
It was visible red on her mildly tanned which now bulged on her skinny outfit.
Ammu threw her out to go and say the truth and she had no other option. Seeing the horrible condition of her friend Shus was terrified and asked her for the happenings. Sweta broke out and let her know what was the truth. She pleaded for her mistake and apologised for whatever she done.

Shus said a single thing," why don't you trust me being my best friend?"
Sweta had no words to answer and was guilty for whatever she done. She was never the same. She shut down herself from everyone, she threw herself in a state of being alone, laughed and criticised by others.
