Life as we get to see it - chapter 6 - Infidelity ..
He had asked her something serious .. but she could not understand the head or tail or what he was actually trying to tell her ..
Why do people have to decide on something which gives them pain.?? was his question .. and Shravya din't know what was she supposed to answer.
She asked him - what happend Nihaal ?? .. Are you drunk ??
And he knew that he had to tell her what he was thinking then. He could not avoid telling the truth to her. He dearly loved her and she had been a true friend and a companion to him all these days after all. So he knew he owed her an explanation.
He was guilty. He was being unfaithful to her.
Shravya was unaware of the happenings in Nihaal's life. But she had had doubts about things getting dragged between them off late. He was a Mechanical Engineer and she only knew that much about his job. He used to travel for his team meetings and client meets a lot. And during one of his meetings he had met another girl in the client office. He had liked the way she used to talk to him and attend his queries. And he had started spending time with her as well..
But he had not told this to Shravya. Though Shravya was a simple, sweet, and a homely type of girl but she was also bold enough to give it back right on face if she knew something was wrong.
Nihaal knew she wouldnt scold or tell him anything but somehow he couldnt manage to get enough strength to tell about this girl in office to her.
But then, Shravya had sensed that something in that relation had started to drift. She knew that this had no future anymore. Because if he had really liked Shravya then there would be no space for the other girl to enter between. Right.. This was her argument.
For which Nihaal had tried giving an explanation saying Shravya "i love you but" my mom is quite strict about me getting in for an arranged marriage. What do i do. I cant leave you i cant leave her also.
And Shravya had sensed this was coming so she had kind of prepared her mind for this.
She said - Look Nihaal, I like you too and i gave you enough space as a friend and a companion all these days. Never forced you for anything. But even after all that if you feel you cant convince your parents for this then go with your life. If you cant keep the respects for love and our relation then what is the use of dragging a dead relation.
I thought i was a good friend of urs with whom you can share anything and everything. But what hurt me was you had the guts to cheat on me and you did not bother to inform me about it. Infidelity is something which cant be tolerated.
But i forgive you because i have always respected you as a friend and a good person and i share some good memories with you.
Go Nihaal live your life. I free you. But try not to cheat the other girl who will trust and come with you.
All the best. Take care.
And she had turned away from his life. That night she had cried like a small child. Cried till there was no tear left to shed anymore. Her heart and trust both were shattered to pieces that day. She had just closed the doors to her heart forever.
But as the saying goes - getting close to a person can give you 2 things :
a) a trustworthy person for your life :)
b) a lesson you will never forget in your life.
So she had learnt hers now:
1. Never give a person so much priority that in the end you become only an option for that person.
2. Next time before getting too close to anybody - make sure the person is worth spending your time with.
3. You are special. Value that and stand tall for your rights and thoughts.
4. People around you are always there to either make you or break you. You have to be alert enough to differentiate between them and select your groups.. :)
5. Give the other person enough space to breathe but make sure the space is utilized correctly.
She now knew - Life is not a bed of flowers. Just when you are praising and enjoying the beauty of the rose - life will make sure that you are made to realise the presence of thorns which comes along with the rose as well :)
