Love Story of A Best Frend...

“I Love You”, said a guy to one of his friend. Of course a girl. I never have ever thought about you more than just friendship was the reply from the girl. We are better as good friends so why make it more complicated. And more over we are best friends, so let us be like that.Well, I really like the way a girl says that. But its just a personal opinion.

The guy was taken aback because the response was totally 180 degree opposite to what he expected. He couldn’t say anything and just went to RCA(read root cause analysis) of the whole situation. I would certainly beg people to pardon my office jargons. I hate them but use them quite often.Back to the story, my friend tried to figure out where the feeling of friendship got replaced by the more sinister feeling of love. All the events in his life started to flashback as the pages of history book were ruffled up. They had met as complete strangers. Just a few years back only they had met after all. No response to the query of a single event that brought them together. But yup, things were so beautiful after they had met, for the guy, that he always longed to meet her. Not one single opportunity was left out. One thing led to the other. He always yearned to meet her. Talk to her. Win her confidence, faith and trust. It was growing unbearable for him to contain his love for her in his heart. The mortality rate of expressing one’s feeling was quite high going by the second hand experiences of the guy as he had seen manier friendships wasted completely and people behaving like strangers for the rest of their lives. Our hero was also apprehensive at the possibility of meeting the same fate. After all she was one girl he had liked so very much. What to do was the biggest of all questions. His mind was going crazy. The work place was driving him nuts and the feeling within him was crippling the inner system. He had to come up with a disaster recovery plan. And come up with that real fast. And then he took some advices from his friends and guess wat, it further complicated the situation.

So ultimately after weighing all the pros and cons of expressing his feeling, he came to a conclusion. He thought rather than be a mute spectator to the entire saga and to crib for the rest of life for not being able to express his love, its better to be a martyr, if required. He decided to say the three most important words of his life to one of his best friend. After all not being from a rich family, he only had words to win over her. He only had words to take her heart away. Oh I must have had forgotten to point out that the guy was a simple not so very handsome guy who could sway away any gal off her feet, although he always aspired to be one.

He finally decided a D-day for his project delivery. The deliverables were well prepared so as to avoid any last minute changes. He gathered all his courage and at least expecting a patient hearing called up the girl to come to their favorite meeting place. He came and without preparing any background expressed his feeling.

“I Love You”, said the guy.

Guys he was turned down. No explanations were rendered. But the brazen fact stated coldly were that he was turned down. No explanations what so ever from any of the party. The guy could just ask only this much that would they be friends atleast even after this fiasco. The answer was positive but I really doubted that. The fact is after such incidents when the results are not favorable the distances start to grow. Each one or both avoid meeting and the distances grow so much that even words become impotent to fulfill the void. Even the girl could have been right in taking such decision. No one knows that. The girl might well be in love with some other guy. She might be waiting for a prince handsome, who knows. She had equal right to say no as much as to say yes. But guys I am writing on behalf of my friend so I have to support him. I’ll have to be biased in his favor. After all why friends like me are for????

God of what material are those guys made who once say I love you to a girl and they both get together for the rest of their lives. If not for life, then at least for a couple of years. What happened to my friend afterwards is another story worth writing on later on but he was really shattered and promised never to make best friends again. And if at all make friends then never love them. After all once bitten twice shy.
