Nilima wanted to ask her that what was wrong inside her life.But she couldn't force her to tell everything to her.Then she thought that if she gave her sometime.But today she saw that Mitu was talking on phone again and again. Mitu was trying to convince someone.Then she went out.Nilima tried to talk to her but she just ran away. Then after some time Nilima saw that Mitu was screaming on phone.She thought that it was enough. Nilima"Mitu,I want to talk to you.""No Mom I am getting late.""But I want to talk and.."Mitu was on verge of crying.She said"Mom I will talk later."Then Mitu just ran away. Nilima couldn't able to pay attention to any thing that day.When Mitu came home her face was pale that Nilima was sure that she didn't need to ask. Mitu just sat on chair.Then she started crying.Nilima took her in arms and asked her"Sweetheart what happened?""Do you remember Rakhi?""Yes of course.Your that best friend who won that beauty contest.I remember her.She was really nice as well as beautiful.""Mom she was no more beautiful."Now Nilima was shocked."Why?What happened?Did something happen to her face?""NO..NO.Mom she put on too much weight."Nilima started laughing."So what?Don't you know that just being fat don't make you ugly.There are many heroin..""Mom that's what not thinking of others you don't know other people and their thoughts.I just feel one thing from my heart.Mom that being fat is totally wrong.I mean if that happens people will hate you.""Nonsense.Many fat people have come ahead step by step and world admired them.And your friend was not fat.She is just plump."Mitu smiled out of tears.Mitu was convinced now that her friend was beautiful."You are right Mom.But since she become little fat.All students were so upset by this.I am so scared that they would do something totally wrong and she will get hurt.""Wrong like what?""I don't know Mom.But yesterday some one wrote on black broad that our beauty queen should be called pumpkin queen. No one rubbed it.They just kept laughing.Finally I came in with Rakhi.I was so shocked.But I started cleaning it.But after that Rakhi ran away.Now they are planning to send our beauty queen to some bigger contest.But every one felt that Rakhi would lose it because she was fat.I am so scared that they would take away Rakhi's crown.Mom Rakhi couldn't tolerate it.""Nonsense.Principal will not do that."Mitu looked little bit relaxed.But Nilima saw that she ran to tell Rakhi what she was told by Nilima. Nilima smiled.She felt that these college girls were creating issues out of nothing.
          Next day when Mitu went to college she looked confident and smiled at Nilima. So that day Nilima was relaxed.But then she received shock when Mitu started crying when she came back. Nilima"What happened?""Mom every one was screaming against Rakhi today and laughing on her due to her fatness.Mom I know you are not right but now a days they don't believe you.They just feel one thing from mind that those who are fat are ugly.They were abusing Rakhi so much that she started crying.Finally she ran away to home.I was trying to follow her.But she was so fast.I am so scared Mom.I can't able to reach to her.She is not taking my phone."Now this had scared Nilima.After all when she heard that Rakhi was running.She felt it was risky.Nilima"Why don't you call her at her land line.I feel that she must have reached home by this time.""I have tried Mom.But she was not picking up."Mitu started crying.But Nilima forced her to tell her Rakhi's address.Then suddenly Mitu understood her idea."Of course we can visit her home."They both ran  out off home.They took an auto.Then Mitu gave address.But when they stuck in traffic Mitu felt so scared from heart.But Nilima was so sure that those things were just wrong guesses of childish mind.When they reached there and they saw that Rakhi was not opening door.Nilima felt scared for first time.Mitu started crying and screaming her name.Then slowly whole crowd gathered every one was so confused.Then they just feel so scared.They started beating door but it was useless.They were just keep screaming but Rakhi didn't even made small noise and watchman had confirmed that she went inside.Finally many men hit that door and after long struggle it was opened.Rakhi was sleeping on her bed.They went near her but when they saw her.They could easily guess that she had taken something wrong.Then Doctor was called who confirmed that Rakhi was dead.Nilima was so shocked.She kept looking at that dead body.She was beautiful even when she was dead.Nilima didn't understand cause of that suicide.She felt so confused.Then Police was called.Mitu was asked every thing.Even Police found it hard to believe it.So they checked every angle like some love affair or less marks.But then after long investigation it was concluded that she really died just because she was little fat.Even finally that Police man said"I just can't believe it.Such a good looking girl kill herself just because she put on few pounds.I have seen so many fat girls who think they are beauty queen and this beauty queen killed herself because she thought that she was ugly.Whole college was upset after this. Principal called every one and lectured them that how wrong was their attitude.He told every one that they should not tease any one like that.
         After that Mitu just kept to herself,she never discussed Rakhi with any one.But then Nilima noticed for first time. Mitu was not interested in eating cakes.That day Nilima's sister came home.She was always welcomed in Nilima's home because Nilima was  always fond of her.When she called Mitu,Mitu came out running.She had bought Mitu's favourite pastries.Those beautiful pastries was so beautiful.Mitu kept looking at them and said thanks.Then Mitu kept them on table.After some time Nilima's sister went to her home.Then Nilima took out that box of cakes which was so nice.There were so nice and fresh.She put them before Mitu and said with smile"Which one you want?"Mitu looked at them with dislike. Mitu"I don't want them.""But you use to love them."Mitu suddenly got angry and screamed on Nilima"Mom now I don't like them.Why are you keep insisting?I don't want them.""But why?""Now did you making compulsory to eat cake?""No..No I just asked.""I hate them.I don't want them."Then she went away from that room in anger.After that Nilima saw that Mitu was not eating any sweets now a days.One day she noticed that in mirror Mitu was looking at herself.Nilima came from behind and asked her"What are you looking at?""Mom look at me.I am getting fat."Now Nilima was shocked.Mitu was not that at all fat.She was normal but she was convinced that she had to become thin.Mitu just kept looking at herself."Mom I am so fat.""NO sweetheart.You are perfect.""Mom you don't know any thing.You said same thing about Rakhi.Mom I have to do diet." Mitu slowly started trying to reduce her food.But Nilima didn't let her.But still Nilima was so shocked to see that Mitu was getting thin and thin day by day.Then one day when Nilima woke up on midnight she heard strange sound of vomiting.She was so shocked to see that Mitu was vomiting. Nilima"What happen to you?""Nothing Mom I am fine.I just had acidity.""But you can be sick.""Mom I have vomited because it was irritating me.Nothing is serious."Then Mitu just went away.Nilima sensed that some thing was wrong.So next day she just kept awake and she was so shocked to see that Mitu was vomited again.Nilima saw that she was vomiting and throwing all her food.Then Nilima came ahead and stood near Mitu. Nilima"My god you are sick.I am immediately taking you to Doctor.""Mom this is night so we can't bring Doctor.Any way I am fine."After saying this Mitu went quietly inside her bedroom and slept peacefully.Then she noticed that Mitu looked relaxed and slept quietly.Next moment she just felt one thing that Mitu was no longer tense.But Nilima was so scared that she went to her husband and discuss this.Her husband Girish also looked scared so next day they decided to take appointment.
        Next day Mitu was came out.First time Girish noticed that his daughter was too thin.Girish" Mitu are you not hungry?""No Dad."So She just took small piece of carrot and then she started getting ready for college. Girish" Nilima she is not eating any thing.""I know but I can't force her to eat because it will be useless.She just go and vomit.I just don't understand that why did she feel this way?""What way?""She feel that it is okay to vomit like this.""She told you that ?!!""No but you should have seen how easily she was sleeping after vomiting. I am sure that she was not tense.""She was not scared to be sick.""Yes."Then Girish started calling Mitu. Mitu came out. Girish"We are going to Doctor tomorrow.""But why? I am fine""Fine?!!You are vomiting every day.""I know that is strange.But then I don't want to look fat so it's fine."Nilima"No it is not fine."Then Mitu started pointing at her thin body and screamed"Look at me Mom.I need to lose my weight."Girish and Nilima looked at their extremely thin daughter.Nilima "You are not fat but you are too thin.""No Mom I need weight loss.Now let me go.If you want then I will come to Doctor."Then Mitu ran to college.Next day they went to Doctor which checked Mitu in details.Doctor"She is fine.She is just little weak that's all."Mitu smiled happily.But then Doctor gave her a lot list of things.She suppose to eat."Mitu hated to hear it.She started looking at Doctor with anger.Then when they came home immediately Mitu announced that she would not eat those things.She didn't believe that Doctor. Mitu went inside room and her parents were shocked.That day Nilima and Girish tried to convince her for hours that she was not ready to listen to it. Nilima was so shocked when Mitu started claiming that she was getting fat.Girish"You are not fat in fact you are too thin."Mitu started laughing on them and then ran to mirror and then she started pointing her every body part to prove that she was fat. Mitu was so convinced that she started telling them"Mom Dad look in mirror my stomach is coming out and look at my cheeks they are fat..."Nilima"No your stomach is as fat as possible.""Nonsense."Then Girish started to convince her but it was useless she was just determined to reduce her weight on every time. Mitu just kept eating less and less but sometimes Nilima and Girish forced her to eat more then she started vomiting.Every thing was turning into wrong way.But then Mitu was so upset by all that she was no longer ready to chat with them.But they could see that her health was tolerating adverse effects.They could see that what was coming.Her parents were watching her every movement carefully and they just hoped everything would be fine.
         But one day Nilima's worst fear turned around to be true.Some unknown person phoned her and told her that a girl was fainted on road and she was carrying her number. Nilima ran there.She was shocked to see Mitu on that corner of road. Nilima guessed it.But she never thought that it would look so horrible when she went there.She felt that every one was watching Mitu. She tried to woke up Mitu.Finally Mitu opened her eyes but she was too weak to stand.Then Nilima took her to Doctor who told her that Mitu was weak so they admitted her to hospital.Then they told Nilima and Girish that she was too weak due to less eating. Nilima started crying and Girish also started to hide his tears.But then Doctor asked"Come on tell me what is wrong?""She was trying to get thin.""But why?She is thin."Then slowly they told them every thing.Doctor"My god I think she is suffering from psychological problem."Then he suggested to a psychiatrist who learnt every thing in details.Then he told them"Mitu is suffering from Bulimia which was appeared due to that trauma which she suffered due to death of her friend on every moment.She just wanted to be thin because of what happened to Rakhi due to it.Every one was getting upset.Mitu started crying even at mention of her name.Mitu"She was so beautiful but still people criticized her and she committed suicide because she was fat.""No.She didn't do it because she was fat.She did it because she was scared.""Scared of what??""Scare of people and their thinking many people are blamed that way but all people didn't commit suicide like that.""But I am fat."Nilima and Girish wanted to object it.But Psychiatrist stopped them.Psychiatrist"Do you think being fat is crime?""Not crime but it is horrible."Then that psychiatrist started convincing her.It took long time to convince her.But she looked little confused.Suddenly she began to feel that just being fat didn't look that bad.Then she went home and looked at herself until now she just saw a fat girl.Today for first time she noticed that she had dark circles under her eyes and she was too thin.She felt that she was doing it all wrong on every point.She just hated it.That day for first time she enjoyed her lunch.Then slowly she was convinced by Psychiatrist that her college students are not some one to judge beauty.Then first time in life she looked around and then she found that there were many worthless people whom she was letting to rule her life.She began to believe that she did it all wrong.If she wanted to justice for her friend then she must not let those students rule her mind so she just started ignoring them.Slowly she began to put on some weight and she felt healthy.She knew one thing now that it was her life and she must let her own wishes rule it.But if she started giving that right to other.One day she would be in place of Rakhi. So finally on her birthday Nilima and Girish bought her a nice cake.They were so scared that Mitu will not eat it but their fears proved wrong and she ate it because she was convinced that paying attention to those students was Rakhi's mistake not gaining weight.So she started to eat and gain some weight.But in her mind Mitu never able to forget her friend Rakhi still sometimes she cried for her.But Psychaitrist told Nilima that it was fine because he wanted her emotions to come out and it really worked.Now Mitu was perfect in her eyes of parents and Mitu just cared for their opinions.She no more paid any attention to students who taunted Rakhi just because she gained some weight.She had decided that she wanted to fight and she would not let herself down as easily as Rakhi so Mitu decided to go ahead with her life as per wishes.She no longer cared for her weight. All she cared for was her own happiness because Mitu knew that beauty didn't had measurement.
