Raina was all alone.There was noone who understood her.In her life she had got nothing else than hatred,betrayal and tears.Love was alien to her.Her world was her room because she was confined to that room only.She was not allowed to go out and revel like other girls of 18 years old.Each and every day of her life had become difficult for her to live.One day when she was chatting online,which was the only way for her to connect to the outer world,an unknown friend request came in her profile.At first she didn't accept it but after sometime she confirmed it.Then started the usual conversation like hi,hello,how are you.Summoned by her mother she logged out and went to attend to her mother.For many days she didn't bother to check her mailbox and account.Next time when she logged in she found Ankit,that unknown friend of her online.Depressed,tired,frustrated Raina started conversing with Ankit.She found him very friendly and understanding.They both exchanged phone number.After that chat Raina was feeling better as if for the first time she had poured her heart out to somebody.
That night Raina called Ankit up.He was very nice to Raina.This phone call and chatting had become another world for her.A world far better than the real world ,a world which Raina herself had created for her.This world was like micro world within the macro world of Raina.Raina had always loved her father.He was the first man with whom Raina fell in love.But her father didn't have time to notice the love of Raina.He was too busy with his work,and his family.Yes 'his family' thats what Raina used to say.That family was complete when Raina was not there.Whenever she entered into frame there took place some trifle due to some or other reasons.
Thinking of all these and immersed in reading novel Raina fell asleep.At 2a.m Raina's cellphone vibrated Ankit was calling her but Raina was fast asleep.The call went unattended.When Raina woke up the following morning,she saw the missed call but then threw the phone back to her bed as if it has not bothered her.Raina didn't have clue that Ankit would call her up again.That night Ankit called around 11p.m and asked about her well being.This continues for few days.Ankit started calling her up frequently.
Eventually Raina's behavior started changing.Raina who was hardly conscious about herself started taking care of her,she started dreaming,fantasizing.The boy whom she had never met,the boy who was living far away from her had brought so many changes to her life.She used to share each and every detail of her life with him.Now Raina herself started realising something different was happening.She was daydreaming about somebody whom she had never met.If any day she couldn't get him through phone she started worrying.She herself didn't know that should she call it love or infatuation?
For the first time in her life.she had met someone who understood her.cared for her.Raina used to love the way Ankit pronounced her name.Once Raina said to Ankit "when you take my name,it feels great.You pronounce it with so much love,affection and warmth as nobody else had ever pronounced it,not even my father".aAnd her eyes misted with tears.Ankit used to console and treat her like baby.She was very immature.Ankit made her understand.At times Ankit even said to her "if possible distance yourself from me because i don't want to see you in tears but i can't give you any future as well".But now Raina was deeply and madly in love with him.Slowly and gradually Raina started feeling the presence of Ankit with him.Geographical distance didn't matter her.She told all her friends about Ankit.They advised Raina to sever contact with him and told her how these days peoplw were using social networking sites for wrong purpose.But Raina's heart was telling different story to her.Ankit couldn't be wrong.He had been sent to her by God.She deided to maintain this contact through phone with Ankit.Ankit was not only her friend,he was philosopher and guide too.Whenever she was wrong and confused,she used to ask him and Ankit used to give her lecture for long.All these were happening through phone.For a girl like Raina who didn't know what love was.This was precious gift.She wanted to kiss him and wanted to be in his arms.But fate had something else in store for her.
Everything was going perfectly.Raina started seeing outer world through Ankit's eyes.Till that time Raina had learnt manything from him.Raina got to know that she needed to change herself.There are many flaws in her.Three long years had passed by and they didn't even realise.Raina became emotionally dependent on him.But one night they had some misunderstandings and Ankit ended the call.Before this also they had small trifle many-times and it got alright after sometime.So Raina decide to give him his space and not to call him up for few days.On Christmas eve Raina wanted to wish him merry christmas.So she called him up but the words which she got to hear "the number you are trying to reach is currently busy on anothe call".
Raina knew apart from Raina Ankit had contact with many girls.But Raina accepted that thing also.She tried three times but every time her call went on hold.Then Ankit called her back and said "how dare you disturb me".
Raina-i'm sorry.
Ankit-bye.
Raina fell down on her bed where many books were laying.On one paper it was written
"to my love Ankit
thanks for everything.i'll never be able to forget you."
