Acne ..in layman's language pimples which doesn't kill you but it definitely kills your confidence and after having suffered from a severe case of acne vulgaris for around 9 years now, I can claim to be one of those patients you see sitting outside a psychologist's office complaining of zero self confidence.
I started breaking out when I was eleven and now I am 19 . during my teen years it wasn't so bad because practically everybody breaks out then at some point or the other , but by the time they are 17 or 18 they stop breaking out but not me . Along with acne which are usually pus filled and a pain in the ass , I also have an interesting webwork of deep acne scars , because of which my face often resembles the delhi metro network map.
I am pretty sure you guys have absolutely guessed by now that I am lethal not in the positive sense but jokes apart I look like one of those ghosts walking out of the sets of a badly scripted horror movie , though my di says that I am over exaggerating , but hey she's my sister who loves me to bits and I can make out that she says it only to boost my self confidence .
So here I am . maanvi choudhary , 19 years old , a du student , hindu college to be precise and an acne sufferer ..and oh yeah I am technically an orphan ..technically beause I have a sister who means the world to me , my beeji , badi beeji , chachu , chachi and dabbu who always make me feel so special that I forget all my pains.
I put on my black skinny jeans along with my favourite grey tantra t shirt which actually did bring out the light green specks in my eyes though they usually seem brown. But alas they were no help in concealing the numerous pimples on my face .i could have used make up like that model , some Camilla to hide my acne but somehow it just didn't seem right and also make up would just worsen my already worse acne.
I pulled my hair into a ponytail and zoomed down the stairs to be greeted with the smell of aloo paranthas but unfortunately I didn't have any time to gorge on them because I was already running late , by the way did I mention that I also suffer from partial insomnia . what a joy isn't it ?
But somehow I couldn't bring myself to curse my destiny because even though I had acne and didn't have my parents but somewhere along the line I had more than most people do.
I rushed out of the door before di caught hold of me because if she did she wouldn't let me go without eating breakfast.
I got into my black maruti 800 which is actually second hand and not in the best condition but that's really all that my family could afford . chachu has a handicraft shop from where he earns enough to keep food on our table and provide us with all the other basic ammenities .
My house wasn't very far from my college and I reached there pretty soon . I parked my car in my usual spot , outside the premises of the college because the last thing I needed was for virat vadhera to see the condition of my car and make more fun of me than he already did.
Virat vadhera , I could introduce him as my crush but I won't because he means a lot more to me than a crush, though I have never had one in my life . as clichd as it may sound virat's the first guy to have caught my eye . I truly love him but from afar because he is the cool dude of the college who always has girls hanging of him , the star football player and singer along with his super model girlfriend maya was the most popular guy in the college but somehow he had a thing against me from the first day , maybe because I refused to give into ragging or maybe beause I dropped food on him just when he was about to start his PDA with maya , either ways he hated my guts and so did the cool group and bullying manvi could easily be their favourite game . they constantly made fun of my acne and monetary conditions even though I wasn;t the only one with acne in the college .
Despite all of this I still like 'no scratch that loved him .. though mind you ,I had no expectations . I would often see him with the kids of mira nursery which is just behind our college and I couldn't help but fall more for him because he was so adorable with them and the way he would feed ramesh , the stray dog everyday was uber cute . all this made me think that there was more to virat singh vadhera than he let forth.
I walked in , pushing the wrought iron gates of my college ...
