Batch of 1999 Page 5

She was the most beautiful girl of the class and made for arts only. Anyone could tell. And boys were even anxious while taking to her because they felt a type of inferiority complex in front of her beauty. They couldn't even stand without taking the support of a bench or friend. And she was well aware of her power. She knew how to use it in her favor. In the absence of a steady boyfriend, she believes in playing with everyone around. And other students liked to be played.

  But in the class she got a reputation of a bitch. All the girls hated him and most of the boys too. But it didn't change the solid facts that she was capable of getting what she wanted.

  Even the examiners gave her full marks after asking childish questions in the oral test on the second last term. Nobody protested.

  Rumors were that she was the only girl of the class who wasn't a virgin. Rumors are rumors. Words were even that she wasn't used to go home after the school and she was going to clubs and that she was even staying at the boys homes at nights. Few were false, few were true.

  One day a student saw Veena kissing a guy fiercely in an empty room of the school. She looked at the student and kept kissing this boy. It was a fun for her and a fun is even funnier with challenge.

  She wanted to become a model and was trying her luck. She was sending her photos to the agencies and was getting some positive replies too. She was only waiting for the school to finish because her parents gave her permission only on this condition that she would clear her final year first. That wasn't much far so she wanted to make sure that no time would be wasted after that. There were six months to the final exams and clearing arts wasn't too tough for her. Nothing was tough with such an amazing face and gifted curves.

 

  Veena had a movie date that day but she decided to go there after visiting the chemistry lab. That was going to be the worst mistake of her life.

  She was talking to a boy and someone struck something and something fell down. There was a noise of breaking-glass, crushes and shout before she fainted.

  With closing eyes she saw a world so beautiful and perfect. Where children were playing on swings and parents were calling them with gifts in hands. Where no one was doing any jobs and people were engaged in their favorite activities. Where sweet music was in the atmosphere all the times. Everyday was a new festival. Everyone was great. People were talking to each other with smiles. There were rivers oceans and things to eat everywhere available for free. Veena spat in disgust and her eyes were completely closed now. Now nothing would ever be same again for her.

  All the doctors seemed more interested in her than anyone else. No one cared now. Everyone was lost into themselves. She didn’t even protest when one of the doctor touched her breasts. Back at that time and the time that followed. She had forgotten her sense of self completely and started touching everything like a four week old infant. Her parents were talking to each other. She recognized their voices and smiled. They were happy that everything was perfect. It wasn’t perfect only, it was more than perfect. Far away a person was talking on the phone. Police was at the door. There were other kids in the same uniform. Everything was so unknown and senseless. So distant from her own position. She looked at her short skirt and shaved legs. Veena wanted to sleep. She felt so tired. She wondered why every man was looking at her with strange needy eyes.

  After sometime, a nurse gave her some juice with harsh expressions. Nurse was angry with reasons unknown to her but she might be a really nice woman by heart.

  Juice was tasty. Everything was feeling good and soft on her body. Like a type of sensation. Or a feeling so complete and making her hungry at the same time. She couldn't figure it out.

  She held the hand of a ward boy on while going out from the corridor of the hospital. Ward boy forgot all the jobs he was assigned too. Touch pleased her and gave her a sense of protection and care.

  She slept for 20 hours after coming back. Next night she ran away from home in her night suit. No one can hide with a fairy face and she didn't want to. She gladly accepted whatever anyone was offering her and gladly let them do whatever they wanted. She didn't understand what was in her body which was so precious for these people but she liked their attention and other things. After going through a roller-coaster life for many days on road, where she slept, ate and fucked only, She ended up in a nice house, whose owner kept her there gladly, fulfilling her every need.

  He came at nights or at weekends only. He used her in all the ways he desired or fantasized. She was the best looking woman he had ever seen in his life and she had lost some screw. What else could a man ask for? Good for him. He threw her out after two years for personal reasons. She didn't mind at all.

  Veena went to a shop and start working there. It was a Jewelry shop and Jeweler was enchanted. For a month she worked there till jeweler knew about her nature. He repeated the history and had the business sense to sell her after a few months. She wondered what, why and how everything that was happening to her. She was like in a flow and it was taking her somewhere. She didn't even have to move her organs. I don't even have to screw you a customer told her as a compliment but he did screw her two times in three hours. She fell in love with all of them. Even the men who were treating her harshly.

  Once she was looking at her face in the mirror and she started crying because it was not looking like her own.

 

  Her parents found her one day outside a tea-stall when the owner was telling her dirty jokes and she was giggling shamelessly. Parents took her home. There she looked at her old photographs and remembered which she had long forgotten. Even the place where everything was in order and perfect with festivals everyday. She started suffering with attacks of nostalgia. She started reminding the past with time and started becoming sad and sadder. When she recalled her dreams, her face which was looking ever more fascinating now, Veena couldn't keep her balance and decided one day that life had nothing for her in box now. She made a smiley on her suicide note before jumping off the third floor. She fell on her face while hitting the road. It was a deliberate effort to punish her face. She hated her face.
