RaYa TS: A Perfect World

'What you seek, is seeking you'

P.s. This is absolutely an OTT story! ;)

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves." 

Excuse me? She turns around....

A paunchy man...nearly in his mid 40's...with a shining pair of eyes...smiles at her! No, wait! Maybe he was blessed with a genuine smiley face! She squints her eyes...with a querying approach....

Ma'am....you coffee is ready! The man standing in the cafeteria confirms her....

She gets up sluggishly to get the coffee mug...and comes back to her seat with the tray....

She looks through the wide Thai glass door...the realm seems to be waving at her from the opposite corner...

She takes a sip of the coffee...the tissue paper lying on the grey tray draws her attention...

"You are the sky, the clouds are what happens...what comes and goes around" inscribed in a neat handwriting...on above the white paper....

She glances back at the food counter...that man, still....tied up in his work...bows at her...pulling his cap down...she too smiles back...spontaneously!

She strides down the street....looks above the cloudy sky...her entire life flashes upon her mind....a family headed by an all-time careless unwaged master...the continual financial hardship... a leading lady of the household...being engrossed in a relentless appeal...to the almighty above...begging for a miracle...wishing for an overnight heart change of the MaleGod of the kin...a deranged psychopath young man cursing the mankind with his full fledged vindictiveness and the carefree ménage accepting the life as it is...with no interest in changing it! That 'pleasantly plump' guy was actually right, among-st all, did she ever try to make a choice? She wander along the road...the sky too seems moving along with her....

"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path." 

Later, an Era:

Priyanka Mirza, lately in her 40's, an entrepreneur by chance, and a motivational speaker by choice...strolls down the thoroughfare....after craft fully touching millions of lives through her words...she is still in search of her perfect world....in that exploration, she has discovered herself! She still believes that the perfect world exists...right here...in this earth...she just need to identify with it! Each rhyme of her poetry inspired zillions of people following their dreams....urged them to create their own perfect world... after all, a perfect world is different to each one of us....and she is hopeful, that someday she would find her!

She too is living her dreams....pursuing a career of her choice....living each moment of her life on her own terms...she finally realized, legends rightly say "You are as you choose" ...somewhere, she still feels guilty...for the earlier days of her life...she was actually boarding a free ride...into the world created by others.... now she has a family too....and she has safeguard her family in all possible way: her parents and her sibling... all their needs got into her "first" priority lists...be it the materialistic requirements or the psychological yearning which demanded a little more affection than a mere attention... she visits her home country once in a year...for a month...she has now earned a room of her own too..back in India...at her parents' place...though she did not feel like changing her old small "Slim sized" bed....everyone in her family suggested her getting a new one...! Then, she registered...years back, she used to sleep in that same bed...but it did not raise any concern! Why? Maybe because, at that moment, she herself did not realize that she deserved better! Earlier, she did strive to help others whereas she herself needed her own assistance...she ignored the calling of her soul....she forgot that, in this universe, you need to earn everything on your own...love, affection, care, concern, respect...peace, free rides never proves to be sweeter!
