"Beauty is not what attracts the eye; but that what captures the heart." -Anonymous

"Hypothetically speaking; life is a journey, physical beauty is materialistic and love is priceless. 
Hypothetically, our requirements when it comes to 'our life partners' are:
Personality
golden heart
love
respect

But we humans are hypocrites! Hypothesis can never walk hand in hand with practical life

When filling the form on a matrimonial site... Isn't it always that the description begins with 'fair and beautiful' or 'well settled and handsome'?

Do we not look at the mirror, at our own reflection and judge ourselves harshly?

I look at the mirror each day too. The difference is that I see myself in a different light than the rest of the world.

They look at me and judge me instantly... And I... 
Well I happen to know myself better. 
I know that my abilities are far beyond what greets me in the mirror each day.
I know that I desire more emotions from people than just pity and sympathy... 

You ask me what is wrong with me? 
I'd reply I am fine... Because I really am

My reflection is perfect for me... 

I am more than a face. I am more than just physical beauty. 
I am that fire which will someday burn down this typical society..."
________________

Anindita; her name means 'beautiful and virtuous'
She has been the center of her father's universe and the reason of her mother's smile.

They were never rich... But they could afford her name... Her name that was her identity and whose meaning was synonymous to her appearance.

Life isn't a bed of flowers... And neither is hers... This is her story...

Of a swan turning into an ugly duckling...

From being a VICTIM to becoming a SURVIVOR

#1 in short-story out of 325K stories!! on 28 September 2023 Give it a try!! ---‐-------- "So I was not worthy of you?" It was more of a statement for Anvi. Her voice was broken. Rudra prayed her finger from the necklace and held her hand. "Sweet.....It was never about what I thought. It was always about what you thought." Rudra pulled up her chin gently to look into her eyes. "If you thought you were good enough for me, you would have never proposed the deal. You would have never put your health at risk to achieve it. And yet I had always seen you as a kind little girl who took care of me like a mother. Who would make samosas for me when I came home. Who would wait outside my room for hours together. Who would make sure that my socks were restocked every summer. And many other things.....Baby it never occurred to me to measure your worth. I was not in love with you back then, but you were a part of my life, sweet." He finished with a sweet tender kiss. "You..you..knew?" A very red Anvi asked in astonishment. "What? That I was your first crush?" He smirked, turning her redder by the second. "Now let me kiss you before you put on that lipstick." He pulled her into a soul-satisfying kiss. ______________ It is a beautiful journey of Anvi and Rudra. A short heart warming love story.

I flinched at his harsh voice, tears forming in my eyes. "For the world, you will be my wife, but in reality, you are nothing to me." My last hope of mending this relationship shattered into pieces. "Listen very carefully: never dare to raise your voice at me. Understood?" I nodded slowly. "And only answer me if I ask you something. Is that clear?" His tone was dangerously low. Feeling scared, I nodded without looking at him. "Look at me when I'm talking to you." He put his finger under my chin and raised my head. His eyes were full of arrogance and cruelty. My vision blurred with each passing second. His grip on my chin was strong and painful. "Now answer," he ordered in a husky voice. "Ye-Yes," I replied in my shaky voice. ☆_____☆ A girl who believes in true love and soulmates. A boy who has lost his faith in love and soulmates. He is fire. She is ice.

Previous Title : Tum Jo Nahi Toh Kuch Bhi Nahi --- He sat emotionlessly, his gaze filled with anger as he looked at her. She met his eyes, confused and unable to decipher what was going on in his mind. The mantras echoed around them, the ceremony unfolding in slow motion. He went through the motions, following the priest's instructions, but his mind was far away, lost in a storm of resentment. "I can't believe you did this," he seethed inwardly. "I thought you were different, someone who could understand me, but I was wrong. I wanted to marry her, to build a life with her, but you destroyed everything. How could you stoop so low? She asked me to marry you for the sake of my family, for my father's happiness, but I can't. I will never marry someone like you." Suddenly, he stood up in the middle of the ceremony, his voice cutting through the mantras. "I can't go through with this marriage," he declared, leaving her shocked. ... She cried silently, trapped in her helplessness as he accused her of a betrayal she had never committed. All she had ever done was love him-deeply, unwaveringly. And that, she realized, was the gravest mistake of her life. Yet, despite the pain, she couldn't bring herself to hate him; her love for him was too profound. Join her on a journey where love speaks not in words but in silence. Discover how she finally receives the love she deserves, all without uttering a single word. For though she was mute, her eyes spoke volumes, revealing the depths of her heart. _________________________________ #1 Indianlovestory on 5.10.20 WINNER:- * Ist position YOURS CHOICE AWARDS * 2nd position in INFINITY AWARDS (Reader's choice) * Best emotional story in SWASAN FAMILY AWARDS ( 2nd ) * SWASAN NEWBIE AWARDS (consolation prize). _________________________________
