A story in three view points




Let me tell you about raj and tina. raj was well known for everything unfamous-like picking up fights easily, ragging freshers severly, commenting girl students, failing in every exam and so on. The only thing he was good at was sports. On the other hand, tina was the most decent girl- she stood first in every exam, never talked much with others, looked very beautiful and had a very good impression on every one.

How these two fell in love was the greatest doubt in the minds of everyone. True, opposite poles attract each other but that was in physics rite?? its chemistry here.. if you think their falling in love was strange then their breaking up was even more mysterious. tina,on rajs birthday,came 2 him and told him that she didnt think she loved him and raj surprisingly said that he felt the same way too. they became close friends later on. people even say they were closer than they were when they were lovers.

day before rajs birthday

tina's dairy:

I dont know how much longer i can continue this. I have long back realized that i dont love raj. When, he proposed me, I felt really happy. I then thought that it was because somewhere deep inside i too had feelings for him.But now i know that it was only because no one proposed me like that earlier. It made me think that i was someone special. I misinterpretted this feeling as love and accepted. But now I see everything clearly.I dont feel one bit romantic when iam with him. Tommorow is his birthday, I will try to explain to him everything. Hope he will understand.

Rajs dairy:

Another birthday. I will have to accept her silly gift, say i love you too. Iam a congenital fool. Why did i propose her at all? yeah i know the answer. i wanted the most beautiful gal in the campus as my gal friend. I dint know wat love was then. but i dont know even now. I never felt anything for her. i have to fake my feelings. I wish i could explain her. But no way. i wont do that. wat if she really loves me and does something stupid.NO NO I dont want my name in the newspapers. but i cant carry this on forever.. god help me.. what should i do??

day after rajs birthday

tina's diary:

Why did i never notice that before.. I should have known that he never loved me too. wat a relief!! when i told him that i dint loved him, i expected him to slap me or shout at me infront of everyone. I have been mentally preparing for that. But gosh! I never dreamed he would laugh,hug and thank me. We have been more frank to each other today than we have been ever before. The usual 'not knowing wat to speak' silence breaks when we are together suddenly vanished. There is so much i want to tell him like how i had several sleepness nites thinking of wat he would do when i tell him, how much i wished he hadnt proposed me and many other things. cant wait to meet him tomorrow.

Rajs dairy:

This is the star day of my life. wow! tina really is a great gal. I would never forget her helping me out by uttering those four words. She was really shocked at my reaction. she looked cuter than ever before then. Damn! this could have happened long before if i had picked up the courage to tell her. well better late than never rite. i never knew she talked so much. she had loads of things to say to me. and she really laughed at my jokes. she didnt fake a laugh to make me feel better. oh my god! its 12 already.. got to go to sleep. promised to meet her an hour before class begins. she said she wanted to tell me something else too.. but i doubt if ill get any sleep-its all too exciting...


after 5 years:

There was a sudden burst of laughing from one of the tables in the restaurant. Tina and raj were narrating their non-love story to riya and alex.

riya said,"you know wat raj??,i sometimes doubt you love tina more than me".

tina replied, "do you doubt that? of course he does,its a differant kind of love though,iam his best friend"

raj added," ya thats rite, and its the same for you alex, you may be her husband, but iam her best friend and niether of you can hope to become as to close to us as we two are to each other."

alex conluded,"Ok Ok baba! I understood that long back when the first thing she did when i asked her to marry me was calling you and taking your advice. So i mite as well thank you. And riya i think you should thank tina too for iam sure he did the same thing when you proposed him".

tina and raj smiled at this. They were luckiest ones on earth-to have the best bestfriends and the most loving and caring spouses

My Note:
I having been thinking of writing something about the way love-affairs go on in colleges. Without even knowing the meaning of love, guys go and propose a gal just because she is beautful. And gals are even worse sometimes, if they are average looking, they readily accept just because they know no one will propose them again. Is this love?? truly not. I may not be well qualified to tell you all wat love is but i can tell you wat love is not. Finding someone attractive is not love, proposing someone only because you think there is a chance she mite accept is not love,having a gal friend/boy friend to show off to your friends is not love and not knowing wat ur feelings are towards someone is not love either.

And believe it or not, friends are closer than all others to everyone. i happen to live in a hostel so know this fact. You cannot be as free as you are with your friends with anyone else. So dont go on trying to make gal/boy friends, try making friends.
