yet another short story

It was a rainy august afternoon in 2005...he had just completed his engineering a few months back...and today was the big day...he was going to start working...he had been selected by this decently good IT company frm campus..n it was a good job..he entered the awesome office..it was amazing...the glas structure was so majestic...he went to the room where another 100 more people who were going to join with him were sitting...waiting for the formalities to be completed...she was also there...with her friends...chit chatting..laughing and enjoying herself...

The training period was for 2 months...and was conducted at another site...slowly as time passed by..he got to know her better and they became good frnds...training finished n they were very good friends by then...she was having a rough time in her already on relationship..and the friendship became stronger as time passed by...after a few months...she started seeing another guy at work..whom everyone else kinda hated in the offce...even he hated the bf...never had liked him anyways...that changed alot of things...friends became less prioritized and distances increased...she was just with the bf mostly...but then she was happy n he was happy for her..but they argued a lot...fought alot....over she not spending more time with her frnds and just ignoring them completely...

a few more months passed and he left the company to do his MBA...the contact/communication between them remained to social networking sites...emails etc..but ntn more...and then after a few months...she was sent onsite on a project for 3 months...the relationship was over as both their families didnt see it working out...n the bf got married to someone else..then...she n her frnd...got back talking again...they both were happy...she was in Canada..he was in India...but they were chatting often...and during the course of time...they started flirting a lil...things were good...n then they met up again in June when she had come back n he had gone to the same old city for a few days after the end of first yr....by now her parents were getting after her life to get married...so the proposals had started coming in....he n her talked abt it...he had changed alot to accomodate anything and everything she said..so that she was happy....

the company sent her onsite again for a few months...she had decided to give GMAT by then...and was already preparing...so she gave her exam..gotta good score..and after the onsite project tenure got over..she came back to India...things were hotting up on the family side to get her married...25 n still single...elder daughter...she had to get married soon....January 2008 till march 2008...the heat was on..everyother weekend prospective grooms came n went by..but she didnt like anyone...there was ntn in common....she and he talked...flirted all this while...he soaked up all her tantrums...was there for her to let her speak out..n get all the frustation out of her...then things started to cool down...the MBA admissions in US universities came through...the stress was now on finalizing the loans for the fees for 2 years...

she was less stressed now...she n him were back to talking..back to the flirting part again...things were good...n then..one fine night...just before he was about to finish his MBA...she asked him to come to the city..she wanted to talk..face to face...she wanted to know what was in his heart...did he want to say anything or not....that night the talk got extended..n he told her everything..he told her he found her attractive...n was maybe kinda attracted towards her...but it wasnt huge or big...she told him she had been on a couple of dates with someother guy ...but it wasnt serious as she was going to leave in 2 months for US...n he was like ok...she said...we ll talk face to face n then see....

its been 10 odd days since then..he finished his MBA..came back home..n she was hell busy with her work...thats what she said...didnt take calls..and all....and today on chat..when he tells her that he may not be able to visit her this time around...she tells him...she has a boyfriend...things have progressed and blah blah blah....and he was like...lol...wow..only he knew that this was enough...he had decided...no more talking to her...he realized that some friendships arent forever...sometimes u ve to even let go of friends and move on....and with that thought in mind...he deleted her number from his cell...even though its there on his fingertips... :D..he did the right thing..didnt he??

it was obvious it was not a piece of fiction...
you know i believe if some relationships are meant to be they will always find away out. You might be doubting and thinking if the decision was a right one but it does not really matter. Life will give all the answers in due time.
For now just cheer up and give me the piece of that cake. Looks sooooooooooo yummyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Anonymous said...

smethings are not meant to be... and the faster we realize it.. the better we feel in the long run :)

He did right or wrong.. its not for me to decide... but it is for him. because it is him who has to forget her :)

u very poignantly... left out the emotions that he might have felt... and well thats so like a man :)


people cme n go..... but it is we who deal with it... "moving on" is the nxt hardest thing to "hanging in there"!


i hope He is happy with what he has done [ not that he had ne other choice!]

Pri said...

if the guy feels he has done the right thing, he probably has...

will a thousand bloggers telling him that he hadent, change anything??? :)
and then again do we have the right to say something without knowing the entire story??

hope u got the point!
just goes to say that, whatever YOU feel is best--only THAT matters!! cos only the person wearing the shoe knows the bite :)


cheers!!

maverick said...

@pri...well no it doesnt really change the decision...but then it helps to reinforce the feelings for n against the decision...n thts always better to do...

entire story?? i just put out the entire story there sans the emotions...thts it...

Nature Nut /JJ Loch said...

Happy Belated Birthday, Maverick!!!

One day you will find a woman whose heart matches yours. Your families will say *they were meant for each other* and smile a knowing look. They may know before you do. :D In a relationship both people have to compromise some of their lives to spend time with each other. But in a good one, both parties are willing to do that because the thought of not being together makes their hearts ache.

And we do drop friends along the way in this search. The other day I saw a male woodpecker do a wing dance on a tree limb while the female looked on. He wiggled his wings and tail three times and sang his heart out. She remained perched and still.

Then he flew away. It's nature. :D

You have a gift for writing and how beautiful you could write about this.

Hugs, JJ

Zayzee said...

nice cake. happy belated birthday. experiences, either ours or others always find their way into what we write

maverick said...

@jj

maverick said...

gypsy said...

anyways... thats sad...

maverick said...

@sinner...well it happened...it happened....

Keshi said...

nah..just thought that it wud annoy u that much. LOL!

Keshi.

maverick said...

@keshi...lol..well then u need to add a few zeroes to 45 to make it annoyable :D :D

Anks said...

hi... hopped over from Keshi's blog.... and like many others before me, I too felt there is way too much emotion in this story to be a fiction...
:)

Question is, what exactly was inhis heart? Was it only what he told her or is there more....?

Can't figure that out.... but it was a very well written piece...

IncorrigibleV said...

did he do the right thing...well thats for him to decide i guess he mustve thought it out and made the decision what he believed was right for him... so tht has to be right :)
bas ek hi dukh hai...maine cake nahi khaaya :(

maverick said...

@vandita.....awww...u had good KFC chicken as a subsitute for the cake :D

Maya Fisher said...

There are no right or wrong decisions... what might seem right a second ago..might seem completely wrong the next second...
Sometimes its okay to sit back and relax..and for a change not take any 'right' or 'Wrong' decisions...and more often than not .life will take your decisions for you..
