Her phone rang again. Frustrated, thinking it was spam call, she answered the call in a rude tone with a lot of anger on her face, only to realize, it was him. She stood static, unable to gather words to speak, she kept mum. The only word she could utter was "NO"


It was started a few years back when he came into her life and everything changed for. This story is about Nitara and Mayank. Nitara an introvert girl, wheatish in complexion, tall, expressive eyes, long freeze hair and caring in nature. She was happy, enjoying each moment in her life to the fullest until she met him. Mayank, a kindhearted person, tall, having dusky look, stubborn, less talkative.


Working for the same project, never they thought they would come this closer. Both looked cute together and most importantly both understood each other well, what mostly absences in a relationship. Without thinking of any consequences, she accepted his proposal and all that she wanted, dreamt off, was soon approaching reality. He took care of her like her Mom, she finally found a soulmate. When things were falling in place, when it was time for him to talk to her parents, he did turn up, ensured them he will take care of their girl like his own. Years went by and their bond turned stronger.


It was the right age for both to get married when suddenly he got another opportunity and he moved Kolkatta. Departing hurts especially when the person going away is ur life. But Nitara gulped the reality and bid him goodbye. Time was running, but nothing changed between them. Instead, both become more supportive, caring and mature.


Nitara was turning 29, her parents were forcing her to get married. She spoke with him, he agreed. He shared his father's contact number with her to take the conversation ahead. But to her misfortune, his father did not accept their relation and hung the call. She called Mayank, bell was ringing, but no response. She thought he might be busy. She kept on dialing hoping to hear his voice. Her parents started to yell at her. She kept quiet and was constantly trying to reach out to him by calling their common friends, family members, etc. Her instinct hinted her all had ended, but it was difficult for her heart to accept the reality. Finally, she dropped him an email hoping for a response, but all her efforts went in vain. She was devastated, she never expected, such an ending to a beautiful start of her future.


The biggest mistake which she did was she trusted someone. Is trusting someone wrong? If yes, then she was suffering the consequences now. It took 1 year to gather the courage to face her inner self. She was trying to act normal but was just passing her time.


One fine day, at 7.00 in the evening, though it was summer, suddenly, the breeze was blowing recklessly as if the storm was heading ahead. Suddenly clouds gathered in the sky and unexpectedly, it started to rain. She was finding a shade to protect herself and her phone rang. She answered the call but to her fortune or misfortune, she heard that voice for which, once she waited. She experienced an adrenaline rush. Her past memories stood in front of her. Yes, its "HIM", after almost 2 years, asking for forgiveness. There was a pain in his voice. The efforts which she took for all these years to make herself strong enough to face the reality, now seemed to be slipping away. He was saying he will come back. She could hear those words again "I AM READY TO MARRY YOU". It was her call now, to accept his proposal. 


Though broken, she stood strong this time. She reminded herself, this is not what she waited for and she is not born for this but to achieve something more reliable. All these years, it was no one, but only her inner soul which stood with her gave all the courage to take her up again. Now, everything was clear to her. She was not the same as before. She had the vision to move ahead in her life. And with that thought in her mind, protecting her self respect by herself, her mouth uttered a word boldly, " NO" and yes she means it.


It is very easy to forgive our loved ones, who hurt us and give justice to them by ignoring our sufferings. But Sometimes "No" makes sense in our life. So yes, it's a "NO".
