She examined herself in mirror... she stood in front of the mirror and started examining her. She touched her forehead, her eyes, her jawline. There were few wrinkles at the corner of the eyes. Her jawline used to be perfect once. There was a slight double chin. She could feel it with her hands. She thought, am I aging?  She has touched her eyes and lips. She was thinking - how do I look like? Am I fair? Am I wheatish or I am black? Hows my skin tone? Am I beautiful or am an average looking person? An inner voice came out - You are a beautiful soul dear. You have got beautiful face, wonderful eyes. You have a face which talks, you have a face which sings. See you have got a beautiful voice. You remember your recordings?......
This all started when you were seven year old. Panditaji had heard you when you were singing a beautiful bhajan in a Devi Temple. He was just passing by and couldn't resist to visit the temple only because of your voice. He got touched by your tranquil voice and decided to teach you. He had talked to your parents. Your parents got agreed.
Your class had started. It was not easy for a seven year old to go through a rough training. You had done the Riyaz for hours and hours. Your parents had followed Panditaji's words and had given everything that possibly they could.
And there you were - at the age of fourteen, given a solo performance. People gave you standing ovation. They got mesmerized with the tranquility you had given them. People got mad with your voice. You had touched hearts of millions. This continued for a long time.
And then there was a boy who was madly in love with you. He had attended each and every of your concert. Followed you every where. Your parents had seen that, but didn't ask you or tell you anything. One day the boy came and met your parents. They had talked to him in detail. He talked to you in detail. You got fascinated. You were at the top of the world. It was a new experience for you. The boy had promised you that he will never ever leave you and will be there forever. This gave a new hope to you. He had told you that, he will be coming back with his parents to officially propose you. And then she will be his, in just a short time. She kept on waiting for him.
He had gone home and came back with his parents one day. His parents met you but rejected you. The boy kept on arguing them but they didn't listen to him. They had swore him with their life and he didn't get any chance to convince them.  That rejection hurt you deeply. You had stopped singing. You had gone into hibernation. With the the help of Panditaji and your parents, you somehow came out of it, but it took you a long time to do that. You had started performing again. And then sky was the limit for you. In last thirty five years you have achieved everything.
Are you thinking now - why the same boy came back to me again and re proposed me at this age? Why does he want to hurt me again? So what do you want to do? Would you like to give him one more chance?
The guy came back and stood behind her. He touched her on shoulders, hugged her from back and whispered- darling sorry, I couldn't be there when you needed me all these years. I am still single and didn't marry anyone.
Now onwards I am your eyes. I know you have felt everything but didn't see anything. Let's travel together and I will show you the world through my eyes.
