What Is Love Anyway! Feggy is a beautiful girl in her twenties. She was a rich and brilliant student and experimenter in all her observations in life. Her friends liked her talents and called her Miss University. She never believed the boys when they tried to express their love. She proved them that their definition of love is about some thing else and not about love. She logically and practically proved it to them in several occasions and became the role model for girls in the University for her independent spirit. Feggy always asked the boys to give definitions of their love when they approached her to express their so-called love. The boys started to give the definition of their love and ended in describing about her beauty, pity, concerned, attraction, chemistry, sex, satisfaction, pleasure, intimacy, friendship, liking, dependency, companionship, jealousy, individuality, selfishness and egocentric feelings towards her but not love. She always told them that their definitions and meanings might be the side effects of their emotional personalities but not their actual love. All the boys tried their level best to win her heart and utterly failed to convince her. Some boys thought she was arrogant, proud and stupid. Other boys actually challenged and cursed her saying that she would end up marrying a notorious cheat. Her love-marriage issue had become a great topic in the University circles during her final year studies. She also took it as a challenge and started her mission to test the boys in a different way. She told her best friends about her new plan. They were excited to see the lovers’ drama. Feggy called the make-up guy and told him to prepare a mask and a special dress for her. The make up guy took it as a challenge and made every thing ready for her. He put the mask and the dress and asked her to open her eyes in front of the mirror. She could not believe that she was looking at herself at all. She took her pictures with her new make up and scanned those pictures and loaded all those in her profile. She is ready to start her lovers’ drama in the Internet. She invited her friends to her villa. She started chatting with the boys. Her friends watched every thing on the big screen.
