It was a normal day for Nehan. But something happened the same day that changed her life upside down. What does an ordinary girl look like her expect anything instinctively in her life? There are also unexpected floods in small rivers that flourish for a long period of life.We cannot know what is waiting for us in the journey ahead.Who knows what his destiny is waiting for in the life of every man.
The clock was about to strike six and like every morning the pleasant chirping sounds of early birds echoed in her ears. For a moment it seemed a hindrance to her sleep .But she slowly opened her eyes.
Liight brownish eyes of her were widened and a mesmerizing smile was spread on her face.
At 25, she looked younger than her age.She looked cute and innocent with her deep dimples and fair complexion.
She threw her blanket aside and wore her home slippers. She was wearing blue pajamas which suited her skin very much. . She stood up and picked her black jacket from the side table and wore it.
She then Slowly walked towards the glass window which was closed .She enjoyed the sight of mumbai while putting her hands in the pockets of jacket.
The picture was vague from inside because of the vapor barrier in the glass.She cleaned a certain area of glass in front of her eyes to get a better view.
The sight was nothing special.The unending roads and numerous huge apartments were the only view from there.Sun rays were slowly mixing up with the sky and Mumbai is still partially in sleep.
She released her breath into the glass with a strength and wrote something with her fingertip on it.
'Goodmorning Mumbai '
She read it herself aloud and again a smile was aroused in her face.
Turning from there quickly she started her day feeding the blue early birds she was raising in a rectangular cage at the corner of the small garden of her apartment.
She changed her clothes into a black tracksuit and white sleeveless tshirt. Over that she didn't forget to put on her jacket and a knitted ear muff of light pink colour because she had a good sense of Mumbai's cold.
She opened the front door making no noise so that her roommate feliz could sleep sound. She did the same while closing the door.
Standing at the street she inhaled and exhaled the fresh breath of morning. She looked all around for a while. The panchasar building is standing high amidst all other buildings. It is named after a famous temple in patan.each flat owners in this buildings are jains from town patan.A flat in this building can be only sold to a patanite.
She lived in the third floor of panchasar apartment. The apartment was bought by feliz's uncle named bhalan who was a patanite. Feliz started living there after bhalan left to america.
She knew feliz from medical college.later feliz left her career in medical field half way and chose the fashion world. She has became a well renowned designer of mumbai in her own company in a short period of time.
While she was searching for a place to live, Feliz invited her to live along with her. In other words she was forced to do this.Because the family of feliz cherished Nehan and her culture and wanted feliz to follow her.And her family would only allow her to live alone apart from their eyes if it's only with Nehan.Feliz was silently annoyed with her for this reason.
Feliz was not softhearted nor a kind girl like her. Instead she was a selfish girl and different from her.
Her family recently left to america but feliz refused to go with them. Because she has already found her fame and successful life in mumbai.And the other reason was that she got addicted to the party life of mumbai.
Nehan started jogging in the direction of south through the netaji subhash chandra bose road which ended at the sea shore of marine drive.
She sat on the empty bench staring at the deep blue ocean.thoughts surfed in her head like waves.There is nothing left to surprise her in this life,not anymore. It was becoming more boring from day to day. Why the waves are constantly approaching the shore even knowing that there is nothing to surprise her , no one awaits her.
After the death of her parents at the age of six, she lived all her life alone for twenty years.Without a family, she has raised herself into a successful person. She has become a cardiothoracic surgeon in the most famous hospital of India named seven heart hospital. She is practicing under one of the most efficient surgeon, Baris khanna in the country. Baris khanna is a promising surgeon. In his career of fifty years, he has never faced any failure. She has a special place in the heart of him. Because she was too intelligent and learned everything fast with high passion among other students. She wanted to be a surgeon like him, successful, promising and efficient.
Her life was surrounding around the apartment and hospital.Everything seemed colourless to her eyes. Her life was going on in a systematic way. She was not a cheering type. Her appearance seemed like an arrogant one to others. Only few people knew that how sweet she is.
Meera was one of them. She was nihan's co-worker and only companion through her life for over eight years. After leaving the orphanage she met Meera at the university and became friends. Meera was a blonded curly hair girl from a middle class family in Mumbai.
A few minutes were passed and Her round shaped sport watch started to alarm.she stopped it and got up from the bench she was sitting on. She ran all the way back to her apartment.
Instead of opening the door with a spare key she rang the doorbell repeatedly untill her roommate feliz could wake up and open the door with a huge sound and start shouting.
"How much times do I have to tell u to open the doors yourself and do not disturb my sleep nehan?"
Feliz's eyes were burned with anger and her silky straightened hairs were in an inobedient and funny form. She was wearing her red tshirt and blue shorts which was from the other day. she was beautiful and can compete with professional models with her figure and style. But all her face was messed up with last day's blended make-up.
Nehan started laughing at one instant and pushed her away from the door while walking inside. Feliz slapped the door very strong which created a very huge sound.Nehan was not surprized at all.she was experiencing this for years and it is like a sort of habit now.
While seeing feliz throwing herself to the bed again, she started complaining.
"It's already seven and half feliz. You should wakeup and start preparing breakfast."
"I'm too tired dear. You make it for today. I will tomorrow "
Feliz replied in a lazy way and covered her head with the blanket.
She pulled the blanket from her in a moment and asked.
"Oh really,a new excuse to get escape from your duty.since you are making me prepare it everyday i understand that u have no intentions to do any chores in this home"
"Since you are a very understanding person. My dear nehan.. now let me sleep a few more minutes "
Feliz muttered while yawning.
"No no no, wake up now or i will pour cold water on your face. "
She screamed with a serious expression on her face.but feliz was still lying on her bed. She opened her eyes and smirked at nehan.
"U will not?"
"I will dear..and What made you think so? Oh feliz , and look what have you done to yourself. You didn't changed your clothes nor even washed your face at all. "
Feliz jumped and sat on the bed in a moment. She took a hand mirror from the side table to have a look.
"Aaaww, horrible" she screamed with a sudden shock.
"Was i too drunk yesterday?"
She asked nehan while touching and scrubbing her face and started cleaning her face with a wet tissue.
"As usual, And do you have any idea about the time u arrive here last night?? It was past 2 at night. I warned you many more times that you should arrive here before ten."
She was slightly getting tempered. It doesn't made any effect on feliz.
"Oh nehan, why are you behaving like my mother, cool yaar.." she paused for a while and looked at nehan.a wide cunning smile was appeared on her face.
"instead I will advice you to come with me and enjoy this wonderful life.. "
Nehan showed no interset in her talk. Instead she started worrying for feliz.
"Because as long as I live here you are my responsibility feliz.And what did u mean by enjoying life? cheating and lying to your fiance,is that what life means to u dear?"
she was furiously asked.feliz put aside the mirror and turned towards her.
"Oh nehan,why are you so dumb. we have only one life and there are a lot of happiness is waiting outside.. we can't disappoint all of it just because you have a fiance.. "
"Oh really feliz. Do you really love him?"
That question was unexpected for feliz. She got up from the bed and slowly walked toward her.
"Oh dear, obviously i don't love him or i can say that I'm not so sure about it.but he is my childhood friend.and also He is the coolest guy I have ever seen but at the same time he is the most boring person I have ever met. But I can't dedicate my life for that one person who was chosen by my family not me."
"So you are going to marry a person whom you doesn't love?"
Her sudden question was replied by feliz within a moment without any confusion.
"Ofcourse dear, love and such stuff are for the girls who are weak.and love is not essential for our life .And Look who is talking about love. You haven't even dated one person. All u do is work and home. Actually you are a lot like my fiance, workaholic, out of real duniya, very boring. "
Her last words striked nehan's thoughts. She never had enough time to think about anything except work. She was busy creating her own world by fulfilling her parents last wish. Her mom and dad , both were very skilled doctors and wanted to build their own hospital. But unfortunately they died in an accident occurred at their work place. She was small then but remembers how her mom always talked about being a doctor is like being half of the Almighty. Because Almighty himself gives a doctor the ability to heal helplessness of people. And how her dad often taught her to be kind and brave so that everything will pass for better. She worked hard to get here and never had time to think about other things in her life.
"Oh really, i love my life this way. And iam happy that iam not like you."
She replied as she smiled faintly.
"U better be.now iam going to get ready"
Feliz ran into the bathroom before she could start the conflict about preparing breakfast once again.
she was sinking in thoughts while making breakfast. Her heart and brain was still arguing on a vague concept which she hardly understood.
In one way She was slightly accepting with feliz.life seems lifeless to her. It seemed like there is nothing awaits her more. But still she is waiting for someone to arrive and surprise her.
Because like all other girls she also loved to believe in fairytales.but she never wanted to be like one of those helpless princesses who appears in the stories. She remembers how much she hated the part of princess being helpless and waits for her rescue by her prince. It sounded complete stupidity to her. In her words , a princess should be brave and self confident. She must be brave to let go and confident enough to fight for herself at any kind of situation.
And one day the prince will arrive from a different world. And will watch her silently. And when the day comes he will appear in front of her with full of surprise in his eyes.
And suddenly he will walk into her life.he will conquer her heart completely.To make her trust in the existence of true love. Shall some day like that arrive in her life too. Who knows about what is waiting for her ?
