…………………………………………………………………….

After reading the comments, Prachi was perplexed to the core. She went to get the doll. She had named her doll ‘Peehu’. Peehu was a soft, adorable doll with pretty eyes and blonde hair. She had pink tints in her cheeks.

Prachi picked Peehu and looked through Peehu’s dress, arms, legs and all over if the doll had any battery slots. Well, no. So, then, where did the music and song come from? Just then Prachi realised, ‘Sonam aunty downstairs loves listening to music. Perhaps Sonam Aunty had played the music.’

Prachi quickly dialled Sonam’s number.

Sonam: Hello Prachi…. wass up?

Prachi: All good Aunty. How are you?

Sonam: I am fine dear. Tell me..

Prachi: Aunty just a quick question, did you play any music yesterday at around 8 pm or so?

Sonam: Yes beta. Did I disturb you?

Prachi: No Aunty, not at all. Actually I was on a call then and some friends apparently heard the music and they appreciated your taste of music. However, I don’t know, perhaps I was immensely focused on the call, hence I did not pay attention to that music. So I thought I will just convey my friends’ compliments to you.

Sonam: Oh okay. Glad to hear that.

Prachi heaved a sigh of relief. ‘So, the music was from Sonam’s Aunty’s apartment.’ Prachi then looked at Peehu and said, ‘Baby, why on earth did I get scared of you. You are just a doll. You look pretty in this pink dress. Tomorrow I will give you a new hair style and I will get some new dresses for you. Okay sweetheart?’ Saying that Prachi kept Peehu on the couch again and got ready to go to college.

Prachi stayed all by herself in that studio apartment. Sonam was the landlady and Prachi was happy with the rent and facilities in that apartment. Prachi’s parents would visit Prachi often. And whenever there were holidays, Prachi would visit her parents. But then, the academic pressure soared and she could not travel much. Prachi sometimes would feel lonely and she missed her best friend a lot. So she got this doll.

Prachi loved going to college because there she would meet Archit. Archit was her class mate. He was around 6 feel tall. He had blue eyes, straight cut nose and jet black and somewhat wavy hair which he barely styled. He would wear a simple pair of Denim trousers, a black or blue tshirt, and his footwear would always be a pair of flipflops. Whenever he smiled, Prachi’s heart would sing a mellifluous song.

Prachi was around 5 feet 7 inches tall. She was skinny. She never liked cooking and she detested outside food. No wonder, she barely put on weight. She had a charming dimple on her left cheek. Whenever she smiled, she made heads turn.

Prachi had shoulder length curly hair and she had a delightful demeanour. Her complexion was slightly on the dusky side, and she had an oval shaped face adorned with a sharp pointed nose. She had bright twinkling attractive eyes. She used to wear a pair of rectangle framed glasses.

Although she, Archit and her other friends hanged out together, Prachi and Archit did not talk much with each other.

On her way home from college, Prachi bought a pair of cute t shirt and jeans and some other accessories for Peehu. She also bought a hair styling kit for Peehu.

Prachi reached home. Kept the doll’s dresses and hair styling kit on the centre table and went to pick Peehu. Prachi cuddled Peehu and said, ‘We will go live on social media after I freshen up and then I will try a new hair style on you and. the new dress I got for you. Okay baby?’

Prachi quickly freshened up, had some fruits and went on to get Peehu and Peehu’s new dress and hair styling kit.

As Prachi picked Peehu and went to get Peehu’s stuff which she had kept on the centre table, she was stunned.

The hair style kit with all the accessories lay scattered out on the table haphazardly, with combs and scissors broken and the doll’s jeans and t shirt were all ripped apart…..
