Staying connected (Part-II)

A week later she was partying with her friends when they ran into Samar. Samar had always been her dream man. She had a huge crush on him when they were at collage but he never seemed to care about her; as if she didn't exist. Her friend introduced her to Samar and she was overjoyed. The two spoke for a few hours; and to her they seemed like magical moments. She was spellbound; the man of her dreams was with her and it seemed that he also liked her.

She laughed at his jokes and blushed as he flirted with her. After a few drinks he made a sleek remark "That was the happiest hour of my life". She eagerly exchanged numbers with him.

"I will give you a call", he said as they left the bar.

"Oh, he is totally into me ". She was ecstatic and called him BFF as soon as she got into a cab.

"Oh it was dazzling; we connected in an amazing way.  I think he would drop me a message in some time”. But then days passed and he didn't call. She checked her sms inbox like a fanatic. Ran to pick her cell phone every time it rang, only to find someone else called. She checked the network strength of her cell phone all the time, asking her girl pals to call her and check if her cell phone was working. Weeks pass but he does not call. She picked up the phone finally to call him.

"He has my number; surely he would pick my call"

The phone rang, and after a few rings, Samar rejected the call.
"He might be busy now" She thinks," Would surely call me back."

 But he never called. A week later she saw Samar at a restaurant kissing a girl.
A strange pain set in her heart, as if her heart was being poked at with a knife.


N.B : While it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of external validation, true happiness often begins within. When we cultivate self-love and acceptance, we become more discerning in our relationships and open ourselves to genuine connection. As Bob Marley wisely observed, "Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for."

While romantic stories often emphasize the fairytale ending of two souls perfectly aligned, lasting happiness can be found in the journey itself. By embracing our own individuality and finding contentment within ourselves, we create a solid foundation for authentic and fulfilling relationships. True love for a man often manifests in subtle ways. While he might not openly discuss his girlfriend with his friends, his happiness shines through when he's with her. He cherishes the connection they share, valuing her companionship and intellect beyond physical intimacy. Loyalty is a cornerstone of his character, and he fiercely protects his love for her, seeing her as the one truly special woman in his life.

While emotions might not always be outwardly expressed, a man deeply in love harbors profound feelings for his partner. She is his confidante, his rock, his everything. The sacrifices he makes for her are a testament to the depth of his commitment.

A man with purpose and direction knows what he wants in life, and often, that includes a loving and fulfilling relationship. He may not always understand the complexities of the female mind, but he strives to connect with the woman he loves on a deeper level, appreciating her unique qualities.

Staying connected (Part-I)

It was a sunny afternoon.

He was down with an unbearable lumbago. He had visited a physician in the morning, who injected an analgesic. Relief was short lived; a while later, the pain began to augment again.

Twik twik…it was her text.

“hey where r u? Today I don’t have any class n am free. Meet me”
He replied : “Sorry…my back hurts and can’t travel”
“Who told u to dance with my friends at the fresher’s eve…u should suffer...good for u”
“C’mon…r u nuts?”
“No am not…c if u can come down…but right now am missing u a lot; but u take rest…no need to come”
“Hang on! Am coming”
“No no…pls don’t come…”
“C u at 5 in CCD next to college”
“I luv u :) :)  :)”

A week into the semester. She was listening to music.
twik twik

“Hey am not feeling well…can we meet”
“No…am busy”
“Ok…u tk care”

Two more  days passed…

“Hey Hi…howz u”
“Busy…ttyl and stop texting me”
“Ok…u tk care”

He had a feeling something was amiss. He wanted to confront her, but brushed it off as being over possessive. Another  week passed, the pent up feeling was eating into him inside.

“Hi…Do u have some time? I need to meet u…not feeling good”
“hey am busy with preparing notes for exam; tmrw pakka”
“Ok…tc”

He texted next day…

“Hi”
“Hi…going to meet my Business Stats professor”
“Bye”

He was agitated. "Grabbing a diet coke might give some relief". He thought.
He entered the canteen and saw her there; laughing aloud with a group of her pals.
He stopped  and turned back before she could see him.


“My backache was better than this”…his heart cried out… 

N.B: When you know your value, you don't have to beg people to be in your life, to spend time with you or to love you...When you are important to someone, that person will always find a way to make time for you, No Excuses, No blame-game, No Lies n' No Broken Promises.
