In the coming days, Alpa and Aarihini thought of one another often and tried to make sense of their meeting. It was an encounter which seemed entirely random yet was hugely significant for both of them as they pondered their next steps in life.
Alpa would smile as she imagined what it would be like to be Aarihini, being a part of all of the action going on in the city – She must walk down the streets with the confidence of a queen!- So in control of her own life and so bold in expressing herself in the city where exciting lives are being lived by so many!
Aarihini would close her eyes and transport herself to Alpa’s place in the village – what still seemed like a totally different world! – and imagine what it would be like to be Alpa – She must constantly feel fresh and energetic! So free to enjoy the beauty of nature and so much a part of where she lives!
While each of them mistakenly thought that the other’s world was somehow better than her own, neither of them were jealous or depressed. Alpa and Aarihini welcomed these new desires that sprang up, filling their heads and hearts with possibilities, ushering them from darkness to light.
