Mystery Of Photography

I am an ambitious girl. I love to travel and enjoy life. I don't care what people think about me. I just love to follow my passion fearlessly. I lost my mother when I was 19 years old. Due to some family problems, I couldn't study after graduation. But there was something inside me hidden from people around me. That was my dream to become a photographer. I wanted to visit many places. But my father did not like to give me permission to go out and fulfill my dream. But my heart did not allow me to understand this. I was always searching the opportunity to go out from my home and pursue my dream.

One day, my best friend vaishali came to my house and took me with her to Jaipur, where she lives and working in a private company. First time I left my own city and it was really amazing experience for me. I started visiting many beautiful places and took pictures for my photography. One day, I was taking pictures in a Haveli and I saw a very beautiful girl dancing in front of a mirror. I was very surprised and wanted to talk to that girl. That girl was an amazing dancer. I moved towards her to capture her picture but the girl stopped and start running. I could not understand why she was running. After a few minutes, I did not find her any where. I felt sad but the good thing was I could  capture some pictures of that beautiful girl. An extraordinary charming was on her smile and face. I was searching her madly everywhere, but I couldn't get her. I tried to ask people about that girl but nobody answered me clearly and some people were looking very afraid of that girl . So they did not reply anything clearly. I was very surprised with their behaviour that these people were fearing a girl ? But I left that place without saying anything to them. I couldn't understand what's wrong with them? so I returned to my living place. But I saw that girl on the way in the same way dancing and I stopped there and start taking her pictures. I also tried to go near her but when she saw me moving towards her, she smiled and ran, suddenly disappeared, I found that girl nowhere and I returned my home. I couldn't understand anything. Why the girl disappeared suddenly ? and why she was running at Haveli? Really these questions were frequently coming to my mind and which created a puzzle in my life.

I tried to sleep. but could not and that night became very big for me. I was continuously thinking about that girl and suddenly my phone rang. I became very scared as I was deeply thinking of that incident which occured that day. The call was from the watchman of the apartment, and what he told me made me again scared. He told me that he had seen a girl' shadow near my window and but when the watch man heard some noise, he light a torch towards her and suddenly she disappeared from that place. He couldn't understand anything and thought that there might a thief. So he informed me. After hearing this I couldn't sleep and switch on the music and tried to sleep again and gradually I didnot know when I fell as sleep. Next morning, I woke up and was just preparing to go for a interview I saw something out from my window and I totally couldn't believe my eyes. I saw those pictures of that dancing girl which I had captured in Haveli and on the way to my home were hanging there. Even I had not prepared them from my camera but they all were there. I rushed to my room, where I had kept my camera and opened and tried to check all those pictures but my eyes become big and I felt really surprised that all the pictures which I had captured were deleted specially those of that girl.

I felt thirsty and couldn't believe my own eyes. Because I had taken them yesterday and where they have gone ? Even I did not touch them again and how they came here ? I thought deeply but couldn't find the answer. I decided to go to that place and asked that girl and wanted to know the truth of that girl. So I went to the Haveli but didn't find that girl there. I asked everyone but no one knows her and even seen her dancing there. So I returned to my place and took a hot shower and made a cup of hot tea. I was feeling relax and reading a story book. I went to the other room where I had kept all my clicking pictures. I found something there which was totally out of my thoughts. I found a letter within a envelope and I tried to open with so many questions in my mind. Finally I opened that envelope and found a picture of two little girls playing in the garden and a hand written letter.

I start reading the letter and after a few lines my eyes became full of tears and I couldn't stopped my tears while reading the letter. The letter was about two best friends who were very close to each other and their aim was also same to be a photographer. Initially I couldn't understand from the letter, but gradually the face of that person came to my mind who had written the letter. That person was childhood best friend Shanvi, who wanted to be photographer too. we both had same dream and we shared everything with each other. That picture was also of my child hood when we were in tenth standard. Our village was near a river. We were very happy, but one day a tragedy happened with us. A dangerous Tsunami occurred and all our property wiped away. Many people lost their lives and I also lost my friend Shanvi. Yes, Shanvi died with her unfulfilled dreams. That girl whom I saw in Haveli was Shanvi, my best friend who could not forget me and her dream is still searching her happiness.
