..broken future
I dont know why i think of this girl whom i met while i was in secondry school.Actually i met her at the National Library.Back then, the place that housed the National Library wasn't much spacious.I dont believe it is more spacious even now also, as it shares the building space with the British Council and some Art Gallery.Anyway, I happen to always run it to this specific memory of this young girl of age 12 or 13 at a very odd time.While i am making roshi!! Can u imagine that??
Anyway,i first met her there in the library,which was the exact time i became a book worm of some sort.I spent all my waking hours with books.She was a nice looking girl, but from her clothes i came to realize that there wasn't anyone seriously taking care of her.She was really interested in reading, although she didnt know much of english at that time and asked a lot about books i was selecting and showed me some of the books she liked.I then asked her which books were she going to borrow,and she said that she was not a member.Oh,and with that she ran off saying that her grandma will be looking for her now.I didnt think much of this at that time, but after a few weeks, i ran into her at a friend's house.This house is situated just a few blocks away from the library.This was the first i visited my friend and her family was renting the space at the back of the house.The little girl was happy to see me and showed me her living space which was very shabby.I found out that day from her that she is living with her grandmother, and doesn't have her mother or father taking care of her.Her parents are divorced and both of them are married to other people and living a life of their own.
This was the last time i met her.Well, actually face to face that is. After some few years, i started seeing her on TVM as an actress in some dhivehi songs.She became pretty famous in a very short period of time, and then disappeared from that scene too.
I keep wondering about her and what became of her future.The girl went from being really interested in books to become a cheap dhivehi songs star.Given the opportunity, i am sure she could have become more. She could have become an educated woman with a bright present and a much brighter future.I wonder how she is now.Whether she is taking care of some few toddlers of her own and coping in a world that came her way inspite of the dreams she had for a brighter future when she was young.I wonder if she's got a caring husband.Or if she is married at all for that matter.Or whether is she leading some dark life of her own.
I just keep wondering.....
