We can not judge, what life has in stores for us. If it is our way, we are happy. If it is not, we make every possible effort to make it our way. But we never know, which move life plays; ‘Check’ or ‘Check Mate’. If it is a ‘Check’, we can still defend and move on, but if it is a ‘Check Mate’, the game is over. Same was the case with Rohit. He was trying his best to make Shruti forget the other guy, but he forgot, destiny is much more intelligent and powerful than him.

Life was going fine till now with both of them. They both were enjoying each other’s company. There were times, when Rohit was stuck with some work and Shruti helped him out of that. And Rohit was also helping her in her work most of the times. By now, Pallavi was very much out of his thoughts and dreams. And then the life played its move.

Shruti had some dreams; she had done a course of Air Hostess, from ‘Frank Finn Institute of Air Hostess Training’. Her father spent multi grands in her training and she did not want to be in the dilemma of wasting her father’s money. She told about this to Rohit and also told him that she has got an offer from some company and they were paying her 20 grands per month. Rohit was shattered by listening this. He did not want the history to be repeated. He decided to tell Shruti what was in his mind. One afternoon when they were having lunch, he suddenly told Shruti everything.

“You very well know, what Pallavi did to me. And I can not live with it my whole life. Shruti, can not you just forget the guy and can not we make things better between us?”

Shruti was shocked, after hearing this. “Rohit you are a good friend, infact my best friend. I have not thought about this till now, and you very well know that I can not do that with my guy.”

“Come to the reality Shruti, your relation with him is not working. I am sure you do not want to wait for him, the whole life. I can talk to your mother also, about this.”

“She knows about the guy and she is also aware about my decision.”

“But if you are going to work for the airline company, are not you just running away from the truth?”

“You can say that, but you also know that I want to prove, whatever my father has done for me, it was not worthless.”

“What about me? What I am going to do after you leave? You know that, I will not get a better girl than you, either in my office or in my life.”

“I am sorry Rohit, but you have to deal with it. I can not just be with you. I never promised you anything and neither I have said anything to you till now into this regard. You are my best friend Rohit and you will remain one throughout my life and that is the only truth.”

“You are living in your so called imaginations Shruti, you deal with the truth and I repeat the truth is, you can not just wait for the guy your whole life.”

“Rohit, I do not want to loose you as a friend, so please do not talk to me about this ever again.”

Period.

This was the end of the conversation. In a week Shruti had resigned from the job and she was leaving the town for the airline job. She came to meet Rohit in his office the last day. Rohit once again tried to make things better. “Shruti, please think about it once again.”

“I have to do this Rohit and I have thought about that, its not possible.” And she left.

Rohit was lost in front of the ‘Check Mate’ of the life.

What next? Wait for Chapter 6.
