Modern Day Relationship : How it starts and How should it ACTUALLY start[ Part-6]

“Yippee, I got selected in TCS mom “ , exclaimed Saloni, on receiving her date of joining from TCS HYD. Her parents were very happy that from being a small city in Punjab , Jalandhar, she was able to get a job in top notch IT company. She was the only selected from her college campus and sadly didn’t have any other friends joining with her in new city. Her parents were little worried, how would Saloni manage things as she has never interacted much with outside world, always been into studies, coming from a conservative background, but her matured daughter claimed her parents nerves and set on a journey to new city, new people and new life ahead.

Saloni was one of the batch of 500 people who joined that day in TCS and were given a nice accommodation in house hostel, on the campus itself. She was clever, intelligent and sweet enough to gell up with other people and make a group of 5 gals, who later formed a group , all being from North India. The campus was big, the hostel rooms were far better than any 5-star hotel room, everything seemed like dream come true for her. Her parents were happy that their fears have been rested as she was able to gell along with other employees and settle down in a new city. As the companies go about, there were training sessions, seminars, exams all the way through and Sonali as before was always seen in studies, as compares to her friends, who chose to take a break and hang out mix with other people and see the beauty of the campus.

On the other hand in Saloni’s batch , there joined another guy Aman, from new Delhi, smart, casual types and seemed flirt from actions. He had his own set of guys friends and always in look out for mixing with gals of the batch. Saloni, caught the attention of Aman, from induction day itself and he was always in search of an opportunity to talk to her. Soon Saloni, became the name of the batch because of her outstanding exam results and intelligence. Aman, took this an opportunity and always went to her to seek some help in some topics. Sweet, decent, helpful Saloni wasn’t aware of Aman’s intentions and always helped him with studies. She got the feeling that he was also interested in talking about studies and wasn’t that much casual like other guys of the batch, Soon such interactions changed into friendship and they started studying together, always seen in library or going out for lunch together or evening snacks. Aman tried many times to woo Saloni and take her out to show the city, but she was more worried about exams and always ignored his requests. Everyone could sense that something was going on between them both , but Saloni always told them it’s strictly professional and we don’t share any personal things at all.

Time flew by, one set of exams were over and another would come after 1 month. They now had free time. By this time Aman was introduced to other 4 gals of the Saloni’s group and in return all 5 gals were introduced to the other guys of the Aman’s group. So it was like big group now and no studies around, Saloni took time out to move out with Aman to explore Hyderabad, but always in group, not alone. Time started passing by, friendship of Aman and Saloni was the talking about their group, but they both declined any relationship stuff, and still maintained its pure casual friendship, nothing more. Gals as usual have their habit of sharing talks, gossiping and Saloni was always the talking point. They asked her many times in person also, but they said, Aman is a nice guy, he knows I am from conservative family and have never roamed around or spent time with guys in past, so he maintains his limits and there is no liking or love like stuff at all. They told her that, we have heard about Aman being flirt and why they were concerned was because Aman already have a steady gf back in New Delhi for past 5 years and rumors of he getting married to her in an year are around. She wasn’t aware of that at all, but it didn’t come to her as a surprise at all, as she never thought Aman in bf way and how does it matter if he is committed, for her he is just a casual friend.

Time started flowing again and again. TCS hostel was co-ed and males were allowed to enter female’s rooms. Now, Aman seemed to be more seen in Saloni’s room even at late nites. On inquiring her, it was like we both study late night, so we were studying in my room and Aman wanted to have magi, so we came to my room from library to have something. The gf’s didn’t feel any wrong, as it was common in whole hostel, guys would be seen in gal’s rooms and people awake, chit chatting whole night, studying etc etc…..But things started changing, there was a significant change could be seen in Saloni’s behavior. She lost her spark and she was more or less lost somewhere, even on asking she never gave any concrete answers. On spying, she would be seen crying, fighting with Aman in corner of the campus.

One day , by chance Saloni left her cell phone in one of her friend’s room and she just casually browsed through her messages and was shocked to see what a sms was there. The sms read “ Please Saloni, don’t feel bad about what happened 1 week back, you are not responsible for that, but maybe I dragged u into this. Please don’t feel guilty about it”. The gf’s decided they won’t let their friend hide anything from them now. “Saloni, we have read all the sms you have exchanged with Aman in past 1 week and we would like you to share everything whatever has happened between you both to us. We can see you in pain for past 1 week and we would like to help you out of it, Trust us”. Saloni started pouring her heart out………………

One night while studying in my room, Aman was feeling headache, so I was caressing his head in my lap casually, not a big deal. We were talking about family life, he was telling me about his gf, fights, how much ego clashes they have and at one stage he really hugged me and cried like a baby. I didn’t know how to calm him down. In the heat of the moment, we ended up kissing and cuddling each other passionately. I felt so bad and guilty that I threw Aman out of the room and was sobbing whole night in the room. We didn’t talk the next whole day. At night finally I allowed him to come to my room and discuss about what all happened. He tried to explain that he just got carried away with situation and it was he who dragged her also in the heat of the moment. He confessed that he likes Saloni a lot and he is gone crazy for her. After meeting, spending time with Saloni, Aman has got confused between his gf and Saloni, whom to choose? He feels that Saloni understands him better than his gf, but as he has been committed to his gf for such a long time, he can’t leave her. He is confused whom to choose now? Saloni, really got carried away with Aman’s wordings, somewhere she had also developed a soft corner for him and such wordings from him, made her think about Aman as his partner in future. A sense of selfishness creeped in Saloni’s mind and she felt that if she gives more love, care, affection to Aman, may be he could come to me and let his gf go away. She felt that a guy is always thirsty of love, hunger and closeness, and if he gets it from a gal, he is always obedient to that gal. These thoughts turned Saloni from a very sweet , cute gal to fight for Aman from his gf. Aman kept on saying he is confused, he can’t leave both of us, what should I do. Such senti talks, brought them closer and they ended up making love in hostel room. That brought Saloni back to earth and ever since she is feeling guilty that coming from a conservative back ground, how could she do anything like this. She doesn’t know how to react and don’t know what lies ahead…………………..

In 1 month’s time, both Aman and Saloni, got posted to different locations and last news , said that Aman got married to his gf of past 4 years.

Snapshot : A guy comes from a happening city and looks for companion ship in new city. Finds a decent gal as easy prey , as she would be from small city and oblivious of all tantrums of guys. A gal comes from a small city, is lured into peppy talks by a guy and resultant thing is a friendship, where gal gets a comfort zone in the company of a person in a new city and gets carried away with situations and things. She forgets her viewpoints, priorities when the guy tells her that he is confused between her and his gf, after meeting her. In the thoughts that more love, affection, towards a guy can make any gal have the guy being faithful to her, she crosses boundaries, but end result is not the same. Gal is left shattered in her own guilt and guy moves on and gets married to his gf.

Do we all desire comfort zone in new city and get carried away with peppy talks? Was Aman clever enough to lure Saloni in his peppy talks or Saloni also desired to be with him? Was Saloni right in assuming more care can make Aman leave her gf and come to her? Was it comfort zone, love. Selfish interest which propelled Saloni to cross her boundaries/principles?

Questions are galore, fingers pointed towards gals are more, guys leave , gals end as sufferers, who is responsible primarily??
