"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.

HE WAS A MAN WHO NEVER TALKED MUCH , AND SHE WAS A GIRL WHO OVERTHINKS ALOT!! "I have never been an observer or a person who notices small things. But I noticed him , i observed him . I notice each nd every change in his facial expressions, his feelings and obviously in him he never talks much but I want to listen him all the time , Yeah I'm a person who talks a lot but for him I want to become a listener "JUST FOR HIM"." He was hard to love but she knew how to love him .He never thought that someone would be so special to him that he would be stalking her. He never let anyone be close to him because he was afraid that he will be hurt again and he was right!! she hurted him not just one time but many times! he loved her at that extent where he can hurt himself for her. A quote which says "I've seen busy people make time. I've seen bad communicators communicate well. I've seen bad texters respond quickly & write paragraphs. I've seen people "who aren't ready for a relationship" get ready in two conversations. If someone wants you, you won't have to ask for effort."
