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.
