She glanced at him. There was a spark in him, in his innocent smile, in his eyes.
Did she ever feel this before ? Why does he come up everyday ?
And who is that girl next to him ? Simple, calm and pure - her eyes are dark and deep.
She walks closer and finds herself.
What is that? She asks him - He looks at her, his lips move in and speak out "Mirror".
A mirror ? Why do we need mirrors ?
He comes closer, holds her hand and comes on her side. She looks over the shoulder towards him.
Is he for real ?
Did he just hold my hand ?
He holds the mirror upto their shoulders, so that their faces are reflected in them.
He whispers - This is what a mirror does. It reflects us.
Does it really ? She thought. It reflects only our outer-selves,nothing inside us.A mirror never reflects US.
Cause "US" means a really deep meaning. "US" is what is really inside me.Inside you.
Your outer being is not what you want to see. You look into the mirror to satisfy your inner-self.
And to really satisfy your inner-self you do not need mirrors.
You need something else - something that gives you peace from the within, something that satisfies your quest of why you really are born ? You need something that will touch your soul in a way that will lead you to supreme bliss.
Rewind - 12 years had passed and she had quit seeing mirrors. Back then, she was no where near being pretty. She did not like being like a skeleton, she hated not having long hair, she hated the obsession of being fair.
The sheer race of being beautiful killed her. She was good at studies, more of a scholar. Intelligent, but hated to speak in public only because of the fact that people told her she was ugly.
"Ugly", what has looks really got to do with living a happy,successful life.
Beauty and Money is a killer combination. With people who have it and can handle it well could really live their lives with success and peace. (Oh, really!)
She had heart-breaks - heart-breaks of all sorts. Not getting that desired dress, not taking part in curricular activities,Not able to speak in public, quit going to school on a "no-uniform" day - cause everywhere there was a race of being beautiful, being rich, of being able to flaunt yourself.
And those were one of the days, when she had heard a sentence - "you are not up-to my standards, you are not fair, you are ugly, you are nothing"
That was the day she had stopped seeing mirrors.
Her life went on to being successful without them. She ignored mirrors as much as everyone ignored some other blatant truths of life.
She knew there was life beyond beauty. Beyond looking beautiful, beyond compliments. There is life beyond every single obstacle.She had hidden the fear of looking beautiful by ignoring the fact of looking at herself.
She looked only towards her work, her family, her friends, her writings. That was were she found herself. Within her work and write-ups - she found beauty.
And after all these years, there was someone standing right beside her showing her the biggest fear of her life. Showing her a reflection of herself, asking her to conquer the fear of not looking beautiful. Her heart ached with these thoughts.
Conquer this fear instead of ignoring. Cause ignoring will only deepen it inside you.
Conquering it will make you stand up proudly, out there.
Stand up tall, in a way, Climbing to the peak of a rough mountain.
You are beautiful. You are nothing less than anybody on this earth. You can win the world by winning this fear. You can win yourself. Cause winning yourself is more than important, than winning over anybody else.
You can, even without me, You can do it all alone.
She took the mirror in her hand, looked at her reflection, smiled and took his hand, forever.
Cause there were two fears supposed to be conquered here - A conquered reflection of her, and a conquered reflection of US.
