Rohit was back to the square one.

He used to go to his job and come back to his room in the evening. This was his daily routine after Pallavi got married. ‘You can’t forget someone, whom you love, so easily. And to move on, you need the support of someone else.’ Rohit was still in contact with Pallavi’s mother and Shruti, because he was the only person whom they knew and could trust. Rohit and Shruti used to chat through Yahoo Messenger. Rohit was already searching for someone to come in his life and help him move on and as of now Shruti was the only person with whom he was in touch, but the guilt of looking for the substitute in his Ex-Girlfriend’s sister was killing him.

Shruti had completed her graduation and was in search of a job. She contacted Rohit for the same and fortunately Rohit was also looking for a girl in his office. Shruti was intelligent, had knowledge of computers and was able to take decisions. These were the qualities Rohit was looking for, to recruit the girl. Rohit was out of town for fifteen days for some training and he promised Shruti that once he will be back, he will do the needful. During the chat he came to know that Shruti was in love with some guy from his college, but it was not going through, because of his parents. Rohit decided to be mean and break there relation by playing mind games. He thought, ‘if the life was not fair with him, then why he would play fair.’

Rohit was back from the training and employed her. Shruti was happy and so was her mother that she was working with him. Rohit was happy because it was going according to what he thought to help him move on from Pallavi. He used to pick and drop Shruti daily. Shruti used to sit by the next cubicle of Rohit and they used to have lunch together. One fine Saturday, they were sitting together in Rohit’s cabin and were discussing some work. Suddenly Rohit asked Shruti, “What do you know about me and Pallavi?”

“Didi use to tell me everything, she told me that you loved each other and how you both separated.”

Rohit was expecting the same reply. “Do you think, what she did with me, was justified?”

“See Rohit, I never said that, she told me how helpful and caring you are and this is the one of the various reasons, I am working with you. But try and understand she was also right at what she did.”

“I do understand that, but my question is just ‘was it justified?’ simple.”

“No it was not, but she did not have any other option. You know our condition very well, after our dad expired. His natives were also not with us. So what was she supposed to do?”

Rohit changed the topic, “Ok, leave it, tell me about your guy? What is the progress?”

“His dad is against us, but we have decided that we will not marry anywhere else, and will wait for him to say yes.”

“Till what time you guys will wait and what if he does not get convinced?”

“Well in that case, we will remain single.”

“That’s stupid; you can’t wait for him for the whole life.”

“I am like that only.” She laughed.

Rohit was silent, the time passed and he was again hooked with the tag of ‘Just Good Friends’, but this time it was Shruti. They used to share every single thing, about themselves, with each other.
