When I graduated & started looking for job, I gave interview in 4-5 companies & got selected in one of the reputed organizations. Although, it was a junior level role, but I was really happy since I got an opportunity to join this company. I worked really hard & within 18 months, I got promoted to the next level. Since I moved to a different team now, I met new colleagues & one of them was Pooja. We became very good friends. We used to sit together, have lunch together & even talk over the phone during weekends. All our colleagues gossiped about us but no one said anything except Manoj. He used to bully me & even try to take Pooja away from me to make me jealous. One fine day, I was busy in a meeting so I asked Manoj to either arrange a cab for Pooja or drop her home since she missed the office cab but Manoj refused & bluntly said that he has other work to do & is not Pooja's servant like me. I got really angry & asked Pooja to wait for me so that I can drop her home. Since that day I never trusted Manoj & keep my friendship with him & Pooja separate. Even Manoj told me that he doesn't like Pooja at all & warned me to stay away from her as he thought Pooja will betray me one day. But I never listened to him. Slowly & gradually I tried to sort out the differences between Pooja & Manoj since one of them is my love & other one is my good friend and I succeeded as well after few months. Then 3 of us used to go on lunch breaks, walk across the floor & sit together during our working hours. As Manoj knew that I like Pooja, he asked me to propose her before it's too late. I hesitated a bit but since I used to talk to her on phone over the weekends, one day I proposed her. She said she knew that I like her but she isn't sure about our relationship & needs time. I gave her time to think but wasn't sure how to react on it as it was a very tricky phase for me. I was really confused & thought of talking to Manoj. I discussed this with Manoj & he started laughing. I asked him why is he laughing & he said because I am a fool as girls never say Yes directly, they take time and that is what Pooja did. He was really happy for me, we even celebrated that day. After that day, Manoj used to be extra cautious whenever Pooja is around & also used to call her "Bhabhi" (whenever we talk about her). Since I didn't get a response from Pooja about my proposal, I thought of asking her again. When I called her and proposed her again, she didn't say anything. I asked her what's the matter, she said nothing & looked confused that day. I was under the dilemma what to do so I thought of talking to Manoj. When I discussed this with Manoj, he got worried about the situation & told me that it looks like Pooja might be in some kind of a family pressure or something and asked me not to pressurize her & give her some time. She used to talk to me normally in office & even over the phone. Days passed on & we were really happy until one day, that changed my whole life. I never thought something like this would happen to me. Pooja called me & said she has decided to get married. I got confused, my heart was beating really fast & I asked her who's the guy. She said she like Manoj & they are getting married. She told me this so that I can move on in life. Since she is my very good friend, she told me that Manoj proposed her & even went to her house & talked to her mother about their marriage. She was really sounding really happy. I didn't know what to say, just disconnected the call. My world was shattered, I was devastated & thought of committing suicide, since the love of my life is getting married to my best friend, that friend who knew I can't live without her, that friend who knew how much I loved her, that friend with whom I always discussed my feelings, that friend who knew everything. I asked Manoj why did he do this to me, he said at first I didn't like Pooja but slowly & gradually when we used to discuss about her, he developed feelings for her. I told him those were my feelings & I trusted him when I discussed those feelings with him. He said sorry nothing can be done now & they are soon getting married. After that day, both of them maintained distance from me. They used to talk to me only when they have some work. They used to sit together in office, have lunch together. And I was sitting alone at a corner & both of them didn't join me for lunch as they preferred spending time together. I am now totally alone & I not able to concentrate on anything, be it my work or my family. My parents are really worried about me & are trying their best to cheer me up but it's really difficult for me to explain them what exactly happened to me. I think I just have to live with this now & try to concentrate on other things in life rather than staying focused on my best friend & the love of my life. Thanks to everyone who read my story. This is my True Story & I wrote this exactly the way it happened. And I pray to God that something like this never happens with anyone else.
