The Friend Who Never Was

They say jealousy is the greatest of many evils. Many are fortunate to be oblivious of it, some however have to face the green eyed monster and some live to one day share a tale like this.

In many ways it all started because all the other girls were so seemingly pretty, rich and had everything perfect in their lives. She often used to wished that some guy would also pursue her with the same ardour as the others.

They say the flights of imagination knows no bounds. So when the conversation about guys, boyfriends and escapades was at an all time peak, she dropped the bomb...

"There is someone in my life"... The stunned silence and the look on their faces was such sweet revenge. They were all equals now and suddenly she could go one up. So out came the bouncer... "And he is an industrialist's son based in Mumbai"... How convenient, close and yet not close enough for them to go check.


What happened next was perhaps one of the most devious tales that will ever be spun. As all the girls gasped in unison, the momentarily silence was followed by rapid-fire questions... when?, where??, how??? and the complete works!

The ball was in play and now there was no turning back. So in short the story came through as young man on visit to B'lore had offered her an empty seat across him at a CCD. Obviously he was very good looking, very rich and completely in love with her since that fateful day.

One of the girls who she was sure hated her the most wanted to see some "proof of life". God how she wished to one day claw out her face and especially that smirk from her face!

Don't have one as me not the types acts mushy. Ours is a mature relationship and based on lot of mutual respect for space and privacy. However if you are so keen, go ahead, here is his mail id, why don't you write to him? Surely he will reply... The guy is very thoughtful and really knows his way around with words.

It was almost as if the smell of burning hearts and egos was diffusing into the evening air... such sweet revenge!!!
