New.

As soon as I entered the hotel, it started drizzling. The receptionist grinned at me. I did not bother to sit and relax, and went straight to the reception for my room keys. When he went back to get my keys it was then I took a glimpse of the hotel lobby. It was gigantic and magnificent, no not the lobby, the aura of her beauty.

Yes, She was there.

In her short black dress.

Years back

She was cute

But today,

She looked sensuous.

Kholed eyes

Short dress

High heels

Loud makeup

Red lipstick

Open hair

No it wasn't her.

Oversized glasses

Loose pyjamas

Crocs

No makeup

Bare lips

Messy bun

It was her.

She knew the new her was delusional.

She knew the new her was deceptive.

She knew the new her wasn't her.

But what she also knew was that the new her was

Resolute

Strong

Confident and

Unbreakable.

She chose to be the new her.

Not for herself

But

For the world.

For the world she was a LADY

But inside

She was still a GIRL.
