Narrative- Mukta

Priya (20), a middle class girl, a strict follower of god who prays regularly and lights up the incense stick before leaving from home. She is hard working and used to spend most of the time in studying and helping her mother at home. But before sleeping she used to always write diary about and how the day she spends. She used to write diary and kept on writing short stories and this hard work paid her a lot and she became one of the famous writer. She used to write all kinds of novel from romantic to thriller and comedy to suspense.
She was always a bit conscious about her lifestyle. Her wardrobe was always filled with Indian wears and never went to pub to enjoy with her friends. She always kept herself busy with writing novels or helping her mother in household work. People knew her positive side of life, her way of living and talking but none of them knew her negative side of life. None of them knew what she was suffering from, neither had she known herself. She was suffering from “SPLIT PERSONALITY” from the age of five. She didn’t know herself that she was suffering from split personality.
She used to get up in the middle of the night with different personality of behaviour. She used to act differently sometimes while standing in front of the mirror. She used to get out from her middle class lifestyle to high society wearing different kinds of dresses and going out to pub. In this split personality, she used to remember the places where she has gone but she used to never remember the people she used to meet and what all she has done. Due to these changes in her behaviour and personality, she fell ill and through all this her parents came to know that she is suffering from this disorder. They kept this secret to themselves only and not even let her know. As she was growing by, this disorder was killing her from inside, as doctor said there is less chances for her to get rid of this. But she still continued her life happily.
One day in the middle of the night she got a split personality attack and went outside to pub. There she met some new people and got friendly with them. She spent the whole night with them drinking, smoking, dancing, going out for dinner and then for long drive. And within all this she fell in love with guy name Sameer who is a businessman. She reached home at four in the morning and wrote everything in her diary what all happened. When she got up in the morning, she didn’t remember anything except where she went. She didn’t remember anyone of them she met. During day time she went out with her mother, where one girl comes and asks her:
Anjali : Hi Priya
Priya : Hi
Anjali : How are you now?
Priya : I am fine. Who are you? Do I really know you?
(Anjali with some confused expressions on her face)
