How is one supposed to make one self count important, as oneself and not someone else, when the other person does not see you as you at all? Not an easy question to answer, should it come out as an out burst or should it be a gradual realization on part of the other person, that she can not search someone in Hera who is not that someone, she misses.

Hera was searching for a unique way to be different from what her ex was, but the difficulty being to know what her ex was, what he liked disliked, and then highlight the things which he disliked and Hera himself liked. Hence began a mission to learn about monsoon’s ex.

And the only ones whom Hera could approach were Monsoon’s friends, and that included Vidi and Kaveri. Hera was already close to Kaveri, but she would not have told Hera anything, she was that kind of person, with whom your secret would remain a secret from the person you do not or would not like to tell.

Hence Vidi it was, so one evening Hera just went to her hostel, called her out and decided to put all the burned cards on the table.

Hera: “You know, you said I will burn my fingers if I do not give up on Monsoon, well I have and you know what, I still can not give up on her!”

Vidi: “Well, then you are just another fool or is it just adrenalin in heat of the moment.”

Hera: “Former, for love is blind, deaf and mute to reasoning. And when I keep my heart aside I know, at end of all this Monsoon still might not love me and even if she does, I might not be me.”

Vidi: “Then you are the former, so why have you come here, just to talk about your felings for  Monsoon?”

Hera: “Who was he really like, I mean who Monsoon’s ex was as a person, his likes, his dislikes, everything else?”

Vidi: “Vij! Was a charming boy, in crude sense, like all other villagers, but was good looking, just like you, infact a little too like you.”

Hera: Wincing “I know that part, what else?” she had confirmed the unwanted.

Vidi: “How much has Monsoon told you?”

Hera: “Just about that much.”

Vidi: “You see, Vij was not at all like you, not a person who would stick with wooing one woman for as long as you have, it is about 2 years now, is it not?”

Hera: “Yes! It is.”

Vidi: “I would not forget the day before that day, Monsoon had just learned about Vij breaking up with her, and he did not have the guts to tell her. She got the news, on eve of his marriage. He was a kind of Hero in town, all boys liked him, and she with him looked as perfect couple, until she out performed him in those exams, and she went ahead and decided to fulfil her fathers dream. And you know, you are also not part of that dream.”

Hera: “I know, what else?”

Vidi: “We are four friends Hera, I, Richa, Pooja and Monsoon. I and Richa are close, and Monsoon and Pooja are, so what I know is what Richa would know, you should get in touch with Pooja.”

Hera: “Where is she?”

Vidi: “Delhi.”

Hera: “Mobile/contact number?”

Vidi: “Only Monsoon would have it, anyways she did not use mobile, so it might belong to someone else.”

Hera: “Okay!”

That was pretty much it, what Hera learned from Vidi, and that was not much, but he had a start, and it was time to call it a night. Mission Pooja would have to wait.
