A "Real" Bollywood Love story!!

"I am fed up of myself!"exclaimed Damini. "I just hate the way i turn up things!! Can't I be more sensible!!" She kept on repenting alone in her hostel room. There was none around, it was already summer holidays and most of her friends have left. A drop of tear trickled down her left eye, as if fed up of flowing down so many times. Poor tear glands, even they were so tired of shedding every single week and day. But in her two decades of life, Damini did not stop doing the same mistake over and over again. A good student, dedicated to her career and her family, she herself gets surprised how she commits such mistakes. Two affairs and both ending disastrously, it's really tough for her to think nicely about herself. Because she knows she never had bad intentions. She never wanted to hurt her parents, but she is too independent by nature to listen to her Moral Goddess, who keeps on weeping inside her. She loves experimenting with her life, and always ends up in some big muddy pool.
Her first affair was kind of nightmare to her. The guy turned to be opposite to what she thought and after 9 months she had to stop it. And then telling at home and all kinds of tantrum that were bound to follow. Damini thought this was the first and the last ever in her life. She was flowing on well, when unfortunately (or fortunately), this young dude came into her life.
A real life bollywood film started with Damini as main character. Well one might say that the story had all spices of a Bollywood love story!! Neighbours having crush on each other, starts liking, talking to and knowing each other and then falling for each other; then the guy leaves home to study outside and Damini is heartbroken. But contact stays through phone and emails; the two fall more for each other when ultimately they have a mutual proposal of their love. The silly girl did not realize where she was pulling herself into. Things went on through various ups and downs for 3 years. And they were happy, truly happy; even if far off from each other, they were happy to have each other. Damini felt that there was real love blossoming among them. She was very much into that guy, and so was the guy. But there has to be a twist in the story. And so comes the role of the guy's parents.
Somehow they got to know of the whole thing and like any other Indian parent, they had to bring in some real heavy blow to the happy affair. and yes, Damini got her second blow; a phone call from the guy's father, threatening her to stop the whole thing or else something real bad will happen to her. Poor Damini, ever had she imagined that her favourite Bollywood love stories would actually come real in her life. But she did not conclude the plot like Karan Johar or Yash Chopra; she made it her way and boldly she took the step.
Damini broke up with her 3 years long love.
She had to chose between her family and her fascination and fairy tale life. And she did it. She had always thought of herself as a brave and practical girl, though hardly she had proved it. But finally she got a chance. And she told everything to Him and did it. Well the following incidents need not be described; any Bollywood fan can imagine that. Or anyone who had a break up can, but Damini added to it a bit, she told it at home, about the whole affair. And so two wars started against her. Damini at one side, with her parents and her boyfriend fighting against her separately.
And even if her tear glands got tired and her heart kept on jumping like a frog all the time, she was living on; she gave her exams, fooled around with friends, attended her classes and labs. But when she was alone in night, all she could do is curse herself.
And she was not the only person cursing herself, there was her boyfriend adding on, with nice emails and messages, showing how much he was heartbroken. This however did not change the girl. She had truly loved the guy and she still tried to understand everything and digest everything. She even had the guts to tell that she loved the guy to her mother and father and then prepare to live without him.
"He won't understand me, he'll always think that I did wrong to him, but I had no other choice!!" cried out Damini. She can't stop thinking about him. And even if she has got real nice people around supporting her all the time, she keeps on dreaming about him and misses him. But she doesn't want anyone to know this, so her tears need to keep the energy up and speak for her. They flow down her chubby cheeks to tell the world that she is not the wicked witch, not the spoiled daughter nor the nasty girl. She's Damini and she thinks she is someone different. She can't stop believing this way about herself. But she can't prove it. So she cries, alone and deserted. And still keeps on believing that her life has a destiny, a much awaited and nice destiny

Hello Damimini .... you really wrote this from the heart. It had a raw feeling about it, but as you may not be used to writing a bit immature. So, keep up the good work
