The Eternal Quest - II

To set things in context, you can read the first part of this post at The Eternal Quest.

‘The icing on the cake is that he sends this email to her. Full stop! Mr. X is yet to discover the aftereffects of this’

Until now, Mr. X let things happen in their normal timeframe and is not very happy with the time. So, Mr. X has decided that this time he would hit the nail directly on the head i.e. he would tell the girl in question directly what he thinks about her. And so, sitting in the office one evening he sends an email to her inviting her for a walk. Mr. X thinks that by doing this he would be as unambiguous as possible, and that the girl would like his honesty. But the ambiguity does arise as the girl is not at all ambiguous about Mr. X’s intentions. Full stop! The only aftereffect is that Mr. X and the girl try to stay clear of each other’s way.

Mr. X is an eternal optimist and believes in the theory, let bygones be bygones! He has now set his eyes on another girl in his office. This girl is in totally different department and he has no connection whatsoever to get in touch with her. Being very hasty the last time, he decides to be patient this time. So, after much thinking, selecting and discarding numerous strategies, and finally re-strategizing the final strategy, he gets to talk to her and they become ok friends. The problem is that Mr. X is becoming anxious with every passing day as things are progressing very slowly and he sort of tips off one day. The super problem is that the girl wants things to progress still slower as she has had two unpleasant experiences before, but of course Mr. X doesn’t have access to this secret information. Full stop!

*******************************************************************

Everything said and done, and everything being fine, Mr. X is not going to pursue all this anymore.

You just can’t make relationships happen if they can’t on their own. It just isn’t a one-way street. It has to dawn on both the sides and if it can’t, it’s just not worth it. And if it can, let it happen on it own, and it will.

It’s far more important to have good friends and consider yourself extremely fortunate even if you have only one friend, in which you can confide anything and everything. Just don’t do any stupid thing which might jeopardize your friendship and Mr. X has realized this the hard way. The last one month has not been easy and fortunately, at the end of it he found back what he almost lost at its beginning. He found back his best friend.

Some of you might still be wondering, how is it possible to be best friends with a girl? At some point of time, you would develop feelings for her! The answer is again, ‘It has to dawn on both the sides and if it can’t, it’s just not worth it. And if it can, let it happen on it own, and it will.’ It’s JUST NOT worth losing your friend because of some stupid thought of yours.

Mr. X is still a little old-fashioned :o)
