They say fact is stranger than fiction. The tale of Nirupama and Nidhir is definitely strange. They were young, they were in love and their parents agreed to their marriage, yet the story was not a typical love story. In tales such as these it is the mutual trust and love that gets tested in times of crisis. Nirupama, a young, independent woman and Nidhir, a young, focussed man find their soul mates in each other. It was a story of love that did not require to be said out aloud. It had been the revolving spirit of their lives since they had been toddlers. When Nidhir proposed his undying love for Nirupama, their parents were the least bit surprised. They had been expecting something of that sort. However, Nidhir had to protect Nirupama from an attack, something that had compromised her privacy, something that left her in a position where she felt that she was always viewed with a magnifying glass. Nidhir had to defend her from an unseen, unknown enemy hiding behind a screen, a mail ID in the cyber world, stalking Nirupama to an extent where she was not herself. All the innocent bits and bytes that she had been sending on the vast world of internet seemed to have a life of their own, a nature of preying and attacking.Nirupama was also not a damsel in distress, it was often her trusting nature and friendly spirit, an epitome of goodness in the world that had put her in a very precarious position. What happened was a series of nerve wracking incidents that did not defeat Nirupama's spirit and belief in the world. In this bitter battle between good and evil and good, good does triumph but evil lingers on.
