Dangerous than fire

Rupa mean white silver in our language. A lot of parents named their sweet babygirl as Rupa as they think their girl will shine like white silver. This is story of a girl called Rupa.

She really lived up to her name before something very bad happened to her. But let me describe her story from beginning. She was too beautiful that anyone would ask her why she came to earth by leaving heaven. Her skin was milkish white, her eyes were as big as cookie dough. Her nose was as thin as blade. Totally, she was just too beautiful. And yes, her figure was attractive too. But if you have too much beauty and you want to live a good life, you won't be able to survive. You must have to choose a bad path if you wanna survive. Let's move on to Rupa's story. When she reads in class eight, she could understand the pain of being too beautiful. Some boys started chasing after her, stalking after her all day long. So, she couldn't go anywhere without her parents. She had to take a guardian with her as she was afraid to go alone. One day, her mom couldn't come to receive her as she was feeling unwell. She thought her mom would come to take her and that's why she refused to go with her friends as she didn't know her mom was sick. So, when everyone leave, she was standing alone. And it was a great chance for the boys to talk with her and tease her. She got afraid when she saw the boys. She couldn't understand what she should do. So she tried to avoid them and start walking. But the leader of the gang hold her hand by running to her and stopped her from going. As she was a scaredy crow, she was faltering and trembling. The boy who was holding her wrist told her to go with him and be his girlfriend. If she do that, he would spare her or else something terrible will happen to her. But Rupa knew that the boys are like goons of this area and they are very bad. She refused him on the spot so the boy got angry on her. Maybe he was going to harm her but right that moment, her father showed up and that's why he couldn't do anything but to escape from there. Rupa burst into tears as she got too afraid and hug her dad. Her father has been informed by her mom that she was sick but she was worried for her daughter. So, her dad come out from his office and went straight to her school.

After that day, her father took a transfer and moved to another city to keep her daughter safe. Though it was tough, she could manage as she always took help from her guardians.

Years passed by and she graduated from college. She was preparing herself to get admit in varsity to get higher education. As her parents were worried about her, they were searching for a man who could always be there for her. Rupa knows about it and she didn't tell them anything as she have secret wish to become a bride. For someone who'd really care for her, who'd really love her and stay beside her no matter what happens.

And one day a matchmaker came to her mom saying that there is a very good guy for her. He is an engineer and he lives in America. The matchmaker showed a picture of the boy and Rupa peeked to see the photo. And as he was quite handsome, she likes him and get embarrassed. As she was agreed, the both families fixed their marriage.

Rupa's family come back to Dhaka where they used to live. Because the groom's family lives here and there's not much time left for the marriage. And she had a lot of things to buy, lots of things to do. She forgot about her past. But her past didn't forget her.

One day, when she was coming back from shopping, her fiance leave her in front of the area since he got some job to do. She was walking alone as her house wasn't far from there. She saw some guys were staring at her. She felt uneasy and started walking fast. But the guys could recognize her and came to talk with her. These were the boys who used to tease her and the reason she had to leave the city. Most of them were smoking and when they came to her, the air became smokey from the smokes of cigarettes. She started to cough and asked them what they want from her. In reply, the leader came in front and ask her if she recognize him or not. Rupa recognized him and got afraid. She asked by faltering what he wants now. He replied all he wants was her and he still wants her. Rupa confidently said that it's impossible because she has a fiance and they are gonna married very soon. When she was going to walk forward, he blocked her way and told her that she can't marry anyone else except for him. Rupa got angry on them and cursed them. She said she would not let them go and she will inform the police if they try to do anything like that. In reply the boys laughed like real maniacs. She tried to leave but they weren't let her go.

At the time, her fiance showed up as he forgot a bag to give her. He saw her woman was in danger. He couldn't stand still but to protest them. They were very angry on him and tried to harm him but he acted like he already called his uncle who is a police and they are coming to catch them. Listening him, they went away from there. Rupa was relieved that he showed up. She thanked him and God to protect her once again.

But the guys weren't leaving her that easily. After some days, when she was going to parlor to take care of her skin as the wedding date came really close the guys blocked her way once again. She told them to move or else things won't come out well. The leader of the hooligans smirked at her and said if she would like to change her decision as he was asking her for the last time. She said no roughly and told him to go and check the mirror. If he thinks they could look nice together then she would give him a chance.

But as soon as she was stepping forward, the boy called her by her name. She looked back and saw he was throwing some liquids on her. It was so quick that she couldn't understand anything. And before she could guess she felt the liquid on all over her face and as soon as they threw it on her, she felt her face was burning. She hold her face with her palm but couldn't protect her valuable face. Her hands were also burning. Wherever she gets the liquid, she was burning. It's not the feeling of burning by hot water. It was hard to breathe. It was a feeling that can't be describe. Soon she fall on the ground. Before she lost her conscious, she heard a thing, "I destroyed the thing which you're proud of. If you can't be mine, you can't be anyone's."

She opened her eyes in a hospital bed. She lost her one eye. Her face was completely shrunk and she looks like a very old lady. Her skin became black. She became totally ugly. Her marriage has been cancelled as the groom's family rejected her. She became an ugly helpless girl.
