Today again , I wish to share a story which is based on my personal experiences, thoughts and observations. This story may also move you completely.
You will feel the pinch of heart - break of an innocent girl.
Neha, our protagonist, as you know, is always happy in other people's happiness and understands the true value of life.
Since childhood, she had a different emotional attachment with all her relatives.
She was so happy and sensitive towards all relationships.
But one incident changed her perspective towards that. An innocent heart was shattered into pieces.
No sound heard.. but only a heart- breaking silence.
Neha's story: " BABY ELEPHANT".
Neha was about to enter her teen age. She was, since early childhood, a very physically active child. She wanted to do good in sports and
being a dedicated and a passionate child, she was always working for it. But, her mind was very disturbed.
Only one question was always in her mind. Why me?
Nothing was wrong but inspite of all her physical efforts, she was getting fat as time passed by.
The Hormonal changes normal at her age were showing effect on her body. At that moment, her physical body might not be appealing, but that was not her fault.
She on her part was putting good efforts and following good eating habits, love for physical activities and taking nutritional food.
But beyond that, she knew she was helpless.She was the same. A Girl with a heart of Gold. Relationships never judge you by your physical appearance, is the faith she has always lived with.
All the cousins of her age were becoming beautiful and slim.
She admired and appreciated them even
though she knew that they were putting in no effort for it. She also liked the dresses they looked pretty in but Neha looked like a grown up lady at this young age and She knew this.
Once one of her paternal aunt Seja invited her family to their house. Seja lived in a different state.
Neha's father decided to spend few days with his sister Seja and her family.
Neha was very excited to meet and stay with her cousins.
When all met each other, her heart is filled with affection and love for them. She was very excited to see them.
But surprisingly , the response from her cousins was not the same.
There was no warmth and no attachment. On the other hand she could feel a false sense of pride and ill- attitude in their eyes.
Neha could feel that they were making fun of her physical appearance.
But Neha thought to herself and said maybe she was thinking and feeling wrong.
She maybe was becoming too self conscious herself.
After all, they had all invited her and her family.
As time passed by
she herself started experiencing that her feelings were correct.
One day Neha was sleeping in her cousin's room. Suddenly, she woke up to a few people striking laughter.
She woke up but kept her eyes closed as if she was sleeping.
Her aunt along with her family was laughing and making fun of Neha. They all were making fun of her physical condition. Her cousins were calling her and referring to Neha as BABY ELEPHANT in a sarcastic manner.
Her aunt and her husband were also supporting them.
Neha listened to all this with closed eyes. But slowly, tears started rolling down her eyes.
She felt like getting up and telling them that they all should realise that it was not her fault as to the way she looked like.
Without realising what turmoil would go on in Neha's mind they kept on saying to each other "Look the UGLY BABY ELEPHANT is sleeping".
Neha wanted to get up and tell them that all of them were giving pain to her with their insensitive behavior.
She wanted to say" Your words are hurting me deeply". You all are laughing but ,my dear loved ones, my heart and soul is crying.
Please do not do this to me as I am still a small girl.
Instead Neha kept listening did neither open her eyes nor said anything just to save them from embarrassment.
She knew that when it hurts, it pains.
She buried the silent pain in heart FOREVER.
TODAY NEHA HAS GROWN UP. SHE IS A LADY. SHE IS REACHING HER MIDDLE AGE. BUT STILL PEOPLE COMPLIMENT HER SAYING THAT SHE LOOKS MUCH YOUNGER THAN HER AGE.
AS LIFE IS A GREAT BALANCER, NEHA, TODAY WINS MANY BEAUTY CONTESTS.
BECAUSE
THAT DAY, SHE MADE A PROMISE TO HERSELF THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO PUSH YOUR SELF HARD, BUT, JUST GO FOR IT
WITH YOUR TRUE DEDICATION AND DEVOTION , SHOW YOUR RELATIVES THAT YOU NEVER DESERVED TO BE GIVEN A NAME"BABY ELEPHANT" IN A SARCASTIC MANNER.
PLEASE DO NOT HURT SOMEONE'S SENTIMENTS DUE TO APPEARANCE.
REMEMBER SOME WOUNDS CANNOT BE FILLED FOR EVER AND EVERY ONE MAY NOT BE COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO FIGHT BACK .
"RELATIONS DO MATTER BUT RELATIONS SHOULD NOT SHATTER".
