Hello everyone, welcome to my new one-shot. You must be smiling seeing the title .
We all girls from average 9 - 50 years of age experience tremendous pain that nobody can feel except we women. Yes, the day puberty hits us first we take our first step on L the word of ``LADY''.

When I got to my first period I was so scared ,the first question which I asked myself would I be able to play after this if I bleed for my whole life each and every day. Moreover, would I be able to survive after losing this much blood?

When It disappeared after 7 days I felt like my lungs got their oxygen… joking but it was. The period is like a surprise for us, and the Miss period surprised me once again.
When I woke up today with a red-stained mark on the bedcover  I said " Ohh noo"...

But I'm a lucky gem. Period surprised me more when I searched for pads but there wasn't a single piece of it I found in the room.

So here I get a new idea for this story. My story doesn't have chapati spiciness… so the rest of the story will be shown by Dixita… She too has her period. I mean bin bulaya mehman ( uninvited Guest) knocked on her door.

… ..

Dixita after returning from college put her bag in the corner of her room and threw herself on the soft mattress. She took her mobile and opened Facebook, then Instagram scrolled down from the news feed and checked how many likes she had on her latest Profile picture. She was so engrossed in the virtual world forgot about her surroundings.

Her dirty clothes were hanging down from the two edges and head of the chair as if it was a local public transport bus, and those clothes were its passenger.
Her left shoe was lying under the single bed and her right one was lying like a lost child in a corner of the room.

Dixita was dozing with a small open mouth. She dreamed someone was squeezing her muscles, the pain was so intense, that it gradually radiated towards her waist and then her thighs. Suddenly she felt wetness in between her thighs.

Dixit felt heaviness on her chest, she felt no energy left in her arms while her limbs below her pelvis were throbbing as if someone was stabbing her muscles, she opened her eyes with a Jerk.
It took 35 seconds for her pupil to adjust when it fell on the alarm clock which shows it was 11.30 at night.

" Oh noo" " she kept her hands on her hair. She realised she didn't order her food as she was sleeping and didn't know when .

She got up when her eyes fell on those red marks on the bed and her heart came into her mouth.

" Ohhh.. Noo!!" " She whispered like a pleading creature

She opened the wardrobes, and piles of her clothes fell on her head. Dixita pushed them inside the almirah. She searched for sanitary napkins, she found only a blue packet but no trace of a pad there. She engrossed herself in the mission of finding pad across the cupboards and then in here and there of her room.
The room wasn't very small nor too big . It has two windows, a steel almirah, and a small single bed , Doraemon's bed study was leaning across the wall near the bed. Dixita loved to watch Doraemon, she is 20 and still loves to watch animated cartoon series and movies.

It was 11.45 she thought to call her roommate, Ishanvi. When she clicked the screen, 20 missed calls from her mother.
Dixita's eyes grew wider . She realised her mobile was silent , that's why she couldn't hear the righting. She was worried about what she would do if her mother got to know about her period but shr didn't have a pad and it was late at night so she couldn't go to purchase anyone now.

She stared at the mobile screen for 3 mins. After that recalled why she took the phone. She took a deep breath and without wasting time she called her roommate Ishanvi.

Ishanvi received the call on the 3rd ringing

" Hey babes" '

"" Areyy yaar … I have period and there are no sanitary napkins here in my room "

" Ohh… okay just check my cupboard.. I think there will be any you will find "

" Love you yaar "

" Just chill .. go then check it"

" Okay"

Dixita disconnected the call , she checked the Ishanvi cupboard but in her bad luck she couldn't find any , she called back Ishanvi once again in reply Ishanvi said perhaps it was finished in her last month.

Dixita was fidgeting with pain , she hold her lower abdomen , Ishanvi was worried for her best friend

" Don't worry .. okay I'll do something for you "

" What will you do, Ishu,.?? My luck is so bad … aur ish period… .duniya mein period kisne laya mujhe mil gaya toh uska shaar phodh dungi "

Dixita heard Ishanvi's giggling

" Stop talking like jerks … don't worry mein kuch karti hoon… I'll tell him..

" Nooo .. Ishu you can't, you are my best friend, you can't talk to that chipku !" " Dixita was sounded like cute small girl

Ishanvi laughed " but that chipku helps you before … "

" That was just a matter of an umbrella, it wasn't a big deal.."

" Dixi.. I know he can manage this time too"
" Ishu… no.. "

" I can't fly and come to you like your Doraemon Dixi… this time your Doraemon will be someone my Nobita "

" Shut up Ishu .. I'll kill him if that chipku comes here in my flat… don't forget I'm alone here and can't trust anyone easily "

" I know … but you believe me na .. "

" Yes I do"

" Then relax.. I'll handle "

" Ishu… "

" Wait "

Half an hour later the doorbell of Dixita's flats rang out. Dixita's heart was racing faster, she peeked through the looking glass and saw Akshat was standing outside.

She didn't trust him , she gets a vibe from the day she gets the hints that Akasht has kuch kuch hota hai wala feelings for her . More he tried to approach she ignored him more and she tried to make a boundary around. She had already gone through heartbreak in school. The boy cheated on her .

Somewhere in the deep corner of her heart told her Akshat was different but she didn't want to hurt her this time.

Akasht rang the bell several times but got no response left .

Dixita was still there peeking through the glass she saw him bend down for a moment , and noticed him get up and took out his mobile
Suddenly her mobile phone lights flash out , she shows his message on her WhatsApp .

" I kept the napkin and medicine on the doorstep. Please take it ,
Take care
Bye
Good night

Akasht wanted to type more " see you in the morning"

But he remove the last portion

Dixita watches him leave the floor. She opened the get , and was relaxed due to the protection of the iron rod grill . She peeked on the other side whether anyone was there or not .
She took the plastic bag immediately and closed the door.

She checked the WhatsApp screen , he was a lucky guy as he got her number as they were in the same project group. Unless if he asked for her number or got it somewhere Dixita would perhaps kill that chipku.

Next day in the morning when Dixita woke up her head was spinning
.She had a severe body ache and shivering.

She heard the doorbell ring. She opened the door and was surprised to see that Akshat was grinning like a monkey.

" Hii!! Good morning"

Dixita was looking at him with an open mouth. Her eyes grew wider as if she saw a peculiar creature of the discovery channel at an early morning in her door step.

Akasht was waiting for her reply. He noticed Dixita's hair was looking as if she had a girl yeh meri doll hai fighting with her hairs .

How many times his eyes see her his shameless eyes forgot to blink .
He thought to break this eye lock seasons

" How are you now ?? Can I join.." he indicated through his eyes to give him permission to enter the room.

Dixita gave him a foolish smile.

" Why have you come ??," Dixita said as soon as she closed the door.

Akasht had stepped into the room, and all of sudden his eyes became curious to see the interior scenario of the surroundings.

Dixita looked at him rolling his eyes as if he was the ACP pradyuman of CID . She cleared her throat

Akshat looked back at her and noticed Dixita was giving his Indian neighbour aunty's one of the sharp glances when they caught any random guy peeking at her innocent daughter.

For Dixita her room was an innocent daughter at that time, she always remained that same. She loved Messy .She had to get scolded at uncountable Times by her mother for this nature of her. But she was different in academics that was glistening like a shining marble under the yellow rays of sunlight.

" Have you said something?" "Akasht asked

" Yes, I asked why did you come?" " Dixita asked once again

" Ohh .. To see you!"

" What?" "Dixita looked at Akshat as if he was that most wanted criminal who came into her house and kept her mouth shut touching the revolver on her forehead

" I thought to check at your place. How are you? That's why! ' he shrugged

" Okk I'm fine" Dixita said and added " anyway most thank you for the last night's favor"

Akshat noticed the way Dixita said her gratitude to him; he was the cutest girl he had ever met .
He smiled a little " It's alright.. btw had breakfast?" "

" No, what for breakfast.. I wake up on the doorbell ring "

" Sorry for disturbing you .. I thought it's 10 in the morning and ..

Dixita cut him in the middle " no I'm not a late party wake-up member in the morning.. I slept late last night and my head is spinning so much that's why…

Akasht looked at her flushed cheeks and said before she completed her words "" you have a severe headache you should tell me … " his hand instantly touched her forehead. He thought perhaps she had a fever because she was looking sick in the morning.

Dixita looked at him with round round eyes.

Akshat forgot about her gesture, he noticed her temperature appeared higher compared to his skin .

He confirmed " You have a fever .. Why didn't you tell me ??

Dixita noticed his tone; he was genuinely looking tense .

He held her shoulder and told her to take a rest. It was the first time Akasht scolded her .

" I'm okay"

" Chupp.. don't move .. take a rest here, I Will arrange something for food"

Dixita wondered , although she had the vibes Akasht had feelings for her but he was  that serious she never imagined.
The more she watched him the more she wondered .

Akasht prepared honey ginger tea and also boiled eggs for her Dixita. After that, he gave her paracetamol.

That day he cooked green vegetable dishes for her for lunch .

He takes care of her as if Dixita was his little daughter.

It was evening when he came with chicken soup for her .
Dixita was sitting on the bed . She was feeling better than the morning.

" Thank you …You are a great cook by the way " she praised him

He bows his head as a gesture of the master chief of a restaurant " thank you Madam"

Dixita smiled .

He took a seat opposite her on the chair  and asked " I think you are feeling better now ?" "

" Yes " she nodded her head" ask you one thing? "

"I know You will ask me many more questions. Why then one ?? " He chuckled

She smiled gently, Where did you learn to cook?"?" "

" From my mother. She used to fall sick so I have to cook. "

Dixita looked at Akasht " Don't you have any sister "

" Yes I have my Didi"

" She didn't cook"

" Why should a girl always cook? I and Di both helped Mummy when she was sick . Sometimes Di was too sick every month, I learned about it in biology in 12 standards. Then I realised …It's high time we should understand and break all the taboos and myths related to menstruation. Because it is not only vital for women but is also vital for life to go on… I'm a man and I'm not heartless "

Dixita looked at Akshat suddenly and her heart missed a beat. The first time she felt a boy's words touch her from inside.

She looked at Askhat and thought he had a cool name but he wasn't a cool boy. He is a simple boy with average height.He isn't a dream boy of any girl.. but recalling the last night how he helped her Akasht was a superman to her at that time.

" Tell you one thing?" "Dixita aksed

" If you want you can ask two things? " Akshat grinned

Dixita smile" before I used to thought you are a chipku but in reality you are so cute Akasht "

Akasht looked at Dixita with unblinking

" What happened? ""

" First time any girl told me I'm cute "

Dixita laughed " so what about chipku ??

" That too for the first time." "

Akshat couldn't help from blushing.

Dixita laughed at his cute expression

"Where is your sister? And how are your parents??"

Akshat stopped blushing " She is in London, my sister and her husband have their first baby, it's a girl. Both Mummy and Dad leave for London 2 weeks ago  "

" Why didn't you leave for London? ""

Akshat paused suddenly  " I want to go ..but last night a similar person like my Mummy and sister fidgeting with pain ..So I had to cancel my flight"

Dixita stared at Akshat. She was in a relationship with Mohit, her first love but never got that vibes nor that respect or importance that she achieved since the last night.

Later She asked him to show her,  his niece's picture.

Akasht showed her the picture of the Baby girl.

" Aww so cute"

Akshat glanced at her and Dixita gave him a warm smile. Her few hair strands fell on either side of her cheeks. He was so happy seeing her smiling for the first time with him, but not completely.

Suddenly he extended his hand shamelessly to give her a hug .

Dixita shifted her attention to him and looked at his puzzle.

Akasht's grinning stops " Heeheehee!!" He ran his hand over his hair and kept his hands close to his chest.

Dixita chuckled and shifted her gaze once again to the mobile of Akshat where he was showing her the photos of her family members, and her little niece.

After that day, Dixita and Akshat become friends. Askasht never forced her to come into a relationship.

Sometimes life is strange how much we try to control our pain , anger, loneliness, and hurt more we push ourselves towards the edges of a dark cave . The best thing is to accept it we can't control everything so let it be and let the Storm flow over us rather than controlling it .
The most beautiful chapter in our lives suddenly comes when we stop believing in the healing part .

Dixita gradually realised we don't need an Angel to take us out of our misery. If I got a healmate  it was enough to spend our life with them . But very few of them get that healmate sometimes once in their life .

6 years later Dixita was going through more tremendous pain than before. It was the pain of labour . She was in the LDR room of the hospital, this Time Akshat was with her.. thousands dollars thanks to the Indian government for allowing the husband in the labour room during delivery.

Dixita delivered her first child, Akasht came to her when she got back her senses.

He kissed her forehead " I love you"

" Love you more " she confessed

Both of them took the baby girl jointly in their hands .

THE END
