Chapter 1
I am the most beautiful girl in my college. I have won so many titles, be it Miss India or Miss chandigarah. No one can compete with me when it comes to beauty. I am perfect. My face is what each girl wants to have. My skin is radiant and flawless. I never had a pimple in my face. I am the best. My beauty is my life. I love it...says Soumya while looking at the mirror.
She gets ready to go to her college prom party. She wears red backless dress with a diamond earrings and necklace. She puts her most favorite lipstick on her lips which make her appear more bold and beautiful. Her fav color...Red. She put a thin line of eyeliner in her eyes.
She looks like a fairy.
As she goes downstairs, she sees her mom. Her mom looks at her. This her reaction
Mom: Awww Soumya you look absolutely gorgeous my baby
Soumya; Thank you so much mom. Thanks to you because of your beautiful genes
Mom: Awww baby I am proud of you. You understand the value of beauty just like me. Our face is what defines us and makes our identity.
Soumya: I know mom. My beauty is my life but its not my identity. My identity is shaped by knowledge, education, and my nature
Mom: Soumya Soumya Soumya seems like you got some stupid traits from your dad too.
Soumya dad enters the room
Dad: Hey guys what are you guys talking about?
Soumya: Nothing dad tell me how I look?
Dad: Awww sweetheart you look gorgeous as always

Soumya: Yes Dad it is but I don't know. I feel like crying
Dad: Soumu you know I cannot see tears on your eyes. Just one thing
Soumya: Dad Dad I know. I will drive safely, I will lock the doors of the car. I will not talk to any stranger. Don't worry I got it
Dad: Soumu baby you know na what I say is betterment for you only
Soumya: Yes dad I know and I understand. I know you love me a lot.
Dad: Thank you sweetheart for understanding my point. Some people just never seem to get it.
Mom: Excuse me, do you mean to say that I don't get your point? Well you know what you're right. DUDE I cannot support your old fashion point of you. Would you had same thing if you had a son going to a party.
Dad: why do you over exaggerate everything I say! I didnt mean like that. For me all my kids are equal, be it Soumya, Rahul, Sanya, or Raghav
Mom: Wish that was the case. Ohh well whatever!
Soumya: Dad I don't like how mom talks to you!
Dad: You know na your mom loves you a lot dear.
Soumya: I know dad. Okay dad see you and LOVE YOU
Soumya unlocks her car and sit on her seat
She gets a call from her friend.

They both laugh.
Soumya looks at them angrily but goes inside to the party.
Soumya orders a drink for herself. She drinks a cup. She is a party animal. She ordered another glass. She is loving it. Her favorite song is on...Lets do party tonight. She is dancing and enjoying her life to the fullest.
All of a sudden she receives a call. She goes outside to attend it. It is soumya's mother

Soumya: Sexy as hell
Harman: I know baby! One cannot resist when they see me
Soumya: Totally!
Harman: Are you okay
Soumya: Now I am
Harman: Oh well I heard you're the most beautiful girl in this college
Soumya: Surely I am
Harman: I don't think so
Soumya: Why? what is wrong with me
Harman: Beauty lies in simplicity. It lies in acceptance.
Soumya: What? I don't get it!
Harman: I am not here to explain you. I am here to enjoy
He walks away!
Soumya stood there for a moment. She didnt move. She thought what did he really mean when he said beauty lies in simplicity and acceptance.
Soumya: Am I missing something? What did he mean?
Soumya goes to the dance floor.
Harman is constantly looking at her.
Harman friend is with him. His name is Sanghrav
Sanghrav: Are you okay? why are you looking at her?
Harman: Nothing I am just looking this world from a different perspective
Sanghrav: You and your perspectives.
Harman: I know. Why does this world plays so much importance on materialistic and temporary things?
Sanghrav: This is how the world is like.
Harman: Well whatever
Sanghrav: Do you like her?
Harman: No not at all
Sanghrav: Why are you lying to yourself. Its first sight love for you
Harman: I wish I could like her but thats not possible
Sanghrav: Why are you controlling your feelings. Why don't you tell her that you are seeing her from last two years in fashion shows? You love her since then!
Harman: Reality differs from virtual world. I cannot like her and I don't want to
Sanghrav: Harman Harman Harman...
Harman: Leave it! Whatever!
