Some years passed like this. Vaibhav continued to meet Shruti without Pooja's knowledge. But afterwards they had some problem in their relations and Pooja broke up with him. It was a huge shock for all of them as nobody ever think of this day will come. But Vaibhav showed to others that he has recover from this shock though Shruti and his other friend know that not the case. But nobody talk anything as they don't want to hurt him more.

After some days Vaibhav came to meet Shruti. He talked a lot about Pooja that day. And suddenly he asked Shruti if she is ready to accept him and ready to keep relationship with him as boyfriend. It was a 2^nd shock to Shruti!! Only some days had passed after his brake up with Pooja and now he is talking about 2^nd one with that girl who loves him!! She didn't agree with it!! She knows very well he will never forget Pooja! He will never stop loving her! But still he wanted to keep relations. Why??? When she asked him he said that he doesn't want to be alone and he wants to forget Pooja.

Now for Shruti it's a big twist!! She knows very well that he won't forget Pooja but as he is proposing her on face and saying that he want to forget her; she does not understand what to do?? If she is saying NO then to it will be her loss as he loves him so much!! And if she is saying YES then too it will be her loss as he will be close to her though he will still away from her. She thought a lot and finally came up to a decision that she will say YES; thinking that one day he will definitely learn to love her!! And as she will always be waiting for him it's good to be waiting for him being with him. She agreed to his proposal and they start dating each other though they meet each other rarely.

He kept talking about Pooja; and she listened to it. After some months when she asked him if he will ever love her; he said he don't know!! He never thinks about that!! It was shocked to her though she knew the answer will be like this only. Then he said one day "if Pooja will ever come back he wants to go to her!! And there is a chance of that. Now this is a big shock for Shruti as she never thought of that!! She starts thinking about it and she realized that Vaibhav wanted to come to her only because he didn't want to be alone but still wanted to wait for her!! She realized that he never loved her though she wanted to.

She thought a lot about all this ' vaibhav's thinking, the truth about their relationship & that about his and Pooja's relation!! Finally she comes to a decision that she can't carry out the relation with him anymore; as there is no point continuing that!! She knows he don't love her and it is a big question that he ever able to love her. Just being with him is not what she wants; she wants his love, his emotions like he feels for Pooja and that is not going to happen as she is just an option for him & not his FIRST LOVE!! She thought if ever be able to love her, he will come back but as of now it's needed to break their relation as it will give only pain to her. It's the other matter that even if she is going to break up; she will never stop loving him!!

What an irony of life!!! She is the one who hated Pooja as she broke up with Vaibhav, now she only going to do that!!she don't want to break up but Vaibhav doesn't leave any option to her; he don't want speak about it saying" they will look after it afterwards"; he don't want to get involved in her as he not even able to forget Pooja; still he wants Shruti; in short he is not ready for another relation though he is not ready to accept it and wanted to carry out with it like he wants!!!

Is Shruti's decision is right?? Or she should wait for some more time?? Is breaking the relation is the only option??

But there is another friend of them who knows that Shruti likes Vaibhav. She comes to know this by an accident before Pooja said YES to Vaibhav. One day Shruti and that friend were talking about Vaibhav and Pooja when the sentence just slipped from her tongue. She just said," if I were Pooja then I'll be ready on my one foot to say YES to Vaibhav. If Pooja likes him then why she kept saying NO to him??" Her friend got the hint & insisted Shruti to tell what in her friend mind. She got shocked when she realized the whole situation. But she swears to Shruti that she will never tell this to anybody.

After this incidence, all was fine till Shruti's birthday party. When Pooja accepted Vaibhav's proposal in her birthday party and Shruti became more close to them as she helped them in their relation, the other friend feel that it's not good. And after some months she opened the secret to Pooja. At first Pooja didn't agree with this, but after some days observations and recollections of past events; she got the clear view of all things.

Now as that friend broke her promise Shruti stop talking to her. But between those 3 friends the mess was already stared. What Shruti avoided till that day came up like a huge snake!! After knowing all this Pooja just stop talking to Shruti suddenly. Though Shruti knew the reason; Vaibhav didn't know anything from the above mess so keep asking Pooja and Shruti why they both not talking to each other.

Pooja always avoided answering the question, but he kept asking. Finally one day, he forced Shruti to answer the question. Now Shruti caught in big problem; she will not be able to tell him anything though she knew the reason and she will not be able to tell him lie. But somehow she just passed the situation saying she will talk to Pooja and find out the solution.

Here when Shruti went to Pooja to tell her that she can stop talking to her but at least in front of Vaibhav do speak with her. So that Vaibhav won't ask about anything. But Pooja refused it, saying she will not talk to her again and going tell the same to Vaibhav too. As she thinks now that what Shruti did was wrong and it was her mistake that she hide her emotions. For that time Shruti accepted her mistake but explain why she kept quiet and didn't tell her feelings to anybody; as she didn't want any problem in their friendship. But the time was gone and Pooja is not ready to listened to any reason as she just keep her point of view that if now she continued their friendship Shruti may try to take away Vaibhav from Pooja. Pooja took promise from her that she will not keep any contact with Vaibhav even if he wanted to do so.

Just after that Pooja told Vaibhav the whole story and told him not to talk with Shruti. At first he too didn't ready to accept the truth, and he was not ready to break the friendship with her. He decided to meet Shruti personally though Pooja was against it. He knew how much Shruti helped them and valued it. So he went to meet her.

When he asked Shruti about what Pooja told him; Shruti told him that is true. Now he had to accept it as Shruti herself accepted it. He felt like the land beneath his feet slipped away, as he never think slightest that Shruti too can love him. But now he knows the truth!! He told her that it was wrong on her side hat she didn't tell him before, but that ok and he is not ready to break their friendship as he value her emotions and her help. But Shruti already given promise to Pooja that she will not enter in their life again. Now she caught in other problem as she didn't want to break the friendship but at the same time the promise is coming in between. She told Vaibhav not to keep friendship with her as it may cause harm to his & Pooja relations. She tried her best but he was not ready. He told he wants to keep their friendship and it will be his responsibility that Pooja won't get to know about this. Finally Vaibhav got successful and Shruti was ready to continue friendship. She is feeling good because Vaibhav didn't react as she expected; but the same time she is sad as their friend group is no more like before. After Pooja everybody stopped talking to her except Vaibhav.

What Pooja was thinking about Shruti is that right??? If not then why all friends are gone away?? Are they never cares for Shruti?? Or they were not her true friends??

continue next time…..

This is story about 3 friends. It's the story about their friendship, their love, and their life .you can say a love life line!! You may find this story very common but believe me you also find something different in it. It's not any imagination; it's a true story which I myself experienced very closely!!!!

It's the story about Shruti, Vaibhav & Pooja. They were really a good friend of each other since school days. Vaibhav & Pooja are friends since 4^th. Though she came late in their friend group; she soon became best friend of everybody!! Vaibhav had some feelings about Pooja. After some months he proposed Pooja but she rejected it; though she too likes him!! He never gives up; he kept trying & asking Pooja if she love him or not, but she kept saying NO. After that Pooja start avoiding talking to him too. Then he depressed and start taking some anti-depressing pills. When Shruti get to know this, she encouraged him to leave pills & promise to help him out in his relationship. He finally got out of that depression state & start concentrating on his career.

Meanwhile Shruti asked Pooja why she is rejected his proposal & stop talking to him?? Pooja told," that she thinks she is not ready for any relationship. And as he always kept asking her about his proposal; she got had had enough & now to avoid that subject she don't want to talk to him." Shruti got the point and told her, to say whatever she feels to Vaibhav without any hesitation. She told Pooja that it's ok if she is not feeling like saying YES to him but it is not the way to react to this situation and stop talking to him is harmful to their friendship too. As Shruti knows well that Pooja too like him, she said her that if she took so much time to say YES; he may get involved in other girl. But it's not the case as Vaibhav told Shruti before that whatever may be the answer of Pooja he will never stop loving her & will not be able to involve in other girl. Pooja listened to all this & said she will think over it.

After that they came met each other in Shruti's birthday party; though they wanted to avoid that, but didn't want to hurt Shruti. He asked Pooja again wbout her decision. In this time the miracle happens!!! He expected she will say No as usual but this time she said YES!!! & he felt like he is at top of the heaven!!! When Pooja told him that Shruti talked to her about this & in indirect way she is responsible to her decision; he was very thankful to Shruti.

As their relation started Shruti played a significant role in their relationship. She helped them to meet, to pass messages. Many a times they meet at Shruti's place. He used to say to Shruti that if it's not her then their relation is not possible as it started in her birthday party & because she talked to Pooja about their relation.

She used to solve problem between them & saw their relation becoming stronger. Now Vaibhav had a special place for Shruti in his life & in friendship, a kind of soft corner. Their life is going nicely.

But at all this time no one knows that there is 1 who too loves Vaibhav and that was Shruti .

She never told this to him or Pooja. She loves him too much to hurt. She is afraid of if he ever gets to know about her feelings; he will break their friendship which she doesn't want. She kept quite & happy & satisfied with her friend's happiness & their love. She knew very well even if she expressed her feelings to him, he is not going to accept her. As he told her that he will never get involved in other person. That's why she decided to be quite.

Did she act in wrong way?? Was that her mistake that she didn't told him or to Pooja about her feelings??
