chapter 44

I narrated my full story to her. She listened to my every word very carefully. My eyes welled up with tears when I finished telling. Her eyes also became moist. I thought, “She is very empathetic. I am really impressed by her listening skills. Nowadays, nobody can listen to the other in this way. She didn’t even interrupt me once. I doubt if Nikhil could do that if he was in place of her.”She said, “Can I say something now if you don’t mind?”Divya - Yeah sure. Sanaya - You shared your heart with me. Now, I also want to tell you what my heart is saying for you right now. Divya - Sure. Please say. I also want to hear from you now.Sanaya - Divya, you are a very nice girl. I smiled. Her praiseful words gave me deep happiness for a few moments.She said very calmly and sincerely, “You deserve a very good and decent guy in your life. But the problem in your life is that you don’t know how to choose a boy for yourself. You don’t know how to make a boyfriend. I guess you never got good guidance.”Divya - Vaishali guided me in everything. She is very mature in such matters. She smiled and said, “Now, you promise me what I am going to tell you, you will not tell Vaishali.”Divya - Okay, I promise you. Sanaya - From your story, I realized that Vaishali doesn’t know even abc of these things. She misguided you everywhere. I was a bit shocked to hear that. I thought, “What is she saying? Vaishali is such a mature girl.”Sanaya - Now, I will guide you. I will tell you where you made mistakes. Divya - Okay. I thought, “Sanaya is much more experienced than her. By the way, so far I have followed Vaishali but what I got in return. Nothing except betrayals, stress, tension and loss of my soul.”She continued, “First you chose Vicky as your boyfriend. Right?”Divya - Hmm…Sanaya - What did you see in him? You just saw that he chases you everyday. You felt he cared for you. You saw he was handsome. That’s all. On the basis of this, you made a decision to accept him as your boyfriend. Here you made a big mistake. The very foundation of your relationship was completely wrong and fragile. The reasons on which you like him were absolutely wrong. We should never start liking a boy on the basis of such reasons. Truth be told, it’s stupidity. Her every sentence was convulsing me from within. Perhaps, she was shaking my very foundations of my life. I asked her with the intention of learning something new, “Can you please tell me how? I mean why are those reasons not good?”Sanaya - Listen to me carefully. If a boy, who is a student chases a girl every day, what does it mean? Divya - It means he cares for a girl. She said, emphasizing her every word, “Absolutely wrong. It means he is loafer. He is a vagabond. He has nothing else to do. Just think, he is a student but he is not spending time on his studies but he wastes his whole day chasing a girl, it means only one thing.”I asked like a child, “What?”Sanaya - It means he is irresponsible. His parents are spending thousands of rupees for his education but he is wasting his time chasing a girl. It means he is not doing his duties towards his parents, towards himself. And one who can’t do his duties towards his parents and himself, how can such a guy be loyal to you?Now, I got her point, “Oh my God, I never thought like that! You are right.”She said, surprisingly, “I wonder sometimes why girls can’t see this simple fact.”Divya - Hmm… I am also surprised why I didn’t think like that. I should have thought from this angle too. Sanaya - And in Sahil’s case, you chose him because he was strong. Right? Divya - Hmm… yeah. Sanaya - It’s also a very silly, in fact stupid reason.Divya - But why so? A boyfriend should be physically strong. He should be able to protect his girlfriend. Sanaya - What happened? Did he protect you? Or he forced himself upon you?Divya - Yeah, he ruined my life and I got a traumatic memory. Sanaya - Divya, now it’s 2024. Now a girl doesn’t need any protection from a boy. She can protect herself. By the way, now a girl can protect herself better than a boy. I can’t believe why girls don’t know the fact that it has become very easy for girls to protect herself. Special police helpline numbers are available for girls now. If a girl sense any kind of danger, she can immediately call on the helpline number and the police will come at once to help her. Divya - Hmm… Yeah, I know about this. I know there is a helpline number.She said a bit loudly, “Then why are you scared? Why do you feel insecure? Why do you want a boy who can protect you? I bet the police can protect you from goons than any boyfriend you choose. Even a bodybuilder boyfriend can’t protect you better than the police.”Divya - Yeah, you are right. But I don’t know why I thought like that. Perhaps, it was my default thinking. Sanaya - Correct. It was your default thinking. Everywhere it is being said that the girls are weak. They need protection. Boys are strong. They can protect them. Girls can’t protect themselves. All these thoughts are outdated now. These thoughts are not valid in 2024. Now, if you say you are physically weak. You can learn martial arts and become physically strong too. If a girl becomes perfect in martial arts, then she alone can beat two to three boys!I thought for a while and said, “Hmm… But a boyfriend should also be strong.”(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
