The most beautiful smile I ever saw was in
that dingy busy lane with hordes of people walking by. There she stood by the
shop peeping within the window. She tossed her head and her eyes settles on me.
She bowed slightly looking at me and gave the same magical graceful smile. I
was awestruck. The whole lane froze over for me. Nothing moved except her
dissatisfied face and slow walk. I stood there transfixed until she disappeared
in the crowd. It was then that the world started moving again and I jumped out
of the chariot and ran towards her direction seeking for her. But she was gone,
nowhere to be found. My face fell. I was getting late. I had to attend the
meeting with the clans.
All
on the way I kept wondering about her. She might have been dissatisfied looking
at my flat expression. She wouldn't have guessed I was lost in her.
I
entered the castle for the conference. Indeed royal it was in this princely
state! With that image in my head I entered the banquet hall and was
flabbergasted to find the sheer disrespect casted upon women.
There
she was! The girl who had frozen me with her smile...standing naked! What a
heinous act! I walked towards her slowly. She looked at me helplessly with
tears streaming across her face and cried out, “Paris, Save me!”
And,
that started the legendary infamous Trojan war between Greece and Sparta! She
was Helen of Troy!
