Evolution

By Dr. Sristi Agarwal

(creation or the world) beautifully named by her father after few minutes of her birth. After a period of 1 year in Assam (state surrounded by tea estates), entire family shifted to Haryana due to family division. Life was growing pretty well. She had a very loving father, mother, grandparents. Everything was going smooth and after a period of 4 years , a new member was added in the family, her little brother. She announced that with a box of sweets in her class, where everyone clapped for her. In class 1st, she met a little boy , her classmate and according to that boy he fell in love with her at first sight. But Sristi never liked that guy in fact she treated him like her enemy, used to get irritated by everything he used to do for her because he was average in studies and she was topper of her class. She always liked studious boys. But as time passed they became friends as their roll number was next to each other and eventually friendship turned to love after his efforts like visiting her home for completing her assignment , drawing for her brother, going to park to see her everyday during vacations, complete his assignments so that she can cheat from him.Now she liked talking to him for hours, meeting him studying together. But none of them was ready to express their feelings as the fear of losing friendship was there.There is saying “Distances make heart fonder” it became true in their case.

She shifted to Delhi after spending 15 years of her life in Haryana with so many life long memories. DAV school, Ram chat bhandar, Rajguru market, Prem Nagar everything was so beautiful..her teenage years, first love everything started there. Then finally with we are just friends message to I love you message their journey started as a couple. There were so many ups and downs in the journey just like any other story. His parents also accepted her with open arms and she also treated them more than her parents.Loads of innocence ,love was there. Then again the girl shifted to Assam,there she started her journey as a doctor, the joint dream seen by her and her father. In the background her love story was also going ,a long distance relationship. Then there was a break in their story for 2 years, then again the journey started. Then the biggest hurdle of her life came. Her mentor, guide, best friend ,life ,her father was diagnosed with cancer, but she faced that strongly and with the support of her family and love things started coming back to track. Her father started recovering after surgery and radiotherapy. Then she got admission in MD pathology, first time away from home , she was anxious but equally excited. Shifting to hostel alone, leaving behind parents was a tough journey. After shifting here, she explored a totally new side of her, got her wings, started flying, After 2 months , she lost her father who meant the world to her. It felt like her entire world crashed down and on top of that the boy she thought will Be her life partner left her in middle of everything. When she needed his support the most he was no there. She lost a part of herself with her father and thought she will never recover from that loss. But every wound heals with time and her wound too got better. A new chapter started after 2 years with a new partner who love, care , respect her and understand her goals. Now she a changed strong girl, who is more practical, logical ,mature and just want to fulfill her fathers dream and to make her mother feel like a queen and her little brother to feel little as after their father passed he always behaved like her elder brother by fulfilling all her needs. It’s not about falling ,it’s more about how you get up after falling down, that all matters. Just ending this story with a hope that Sristi will get her happy ending.
