She was sitting right beside me. We had run into each other, as they say quite luck by chance.
The first time also had been like similarly.....by chance....yes! Luck by chance.....on a social networking site.
And eventually she had taken me on the Board of Directors of her flourishing company.
From virtual to real we transcended into a common space........ effortlessly ...... as if we had known each other so completely and our coming together was destined.... not even a misniscule of uncertainty about that ...... there must have been some divine bond that tied us so close to each other ........
Then something happened.....
Whatever it was, I would not like to mention because it still hurts me very deep to think of those unhappy moments.......
The humiliation and the hurt I suffered broke me down , but I had still not wanted to break the ties.
Neither did she.
I know for sure.
But she wanted me to be either this side or that. No middle path would do.
She made it clear that if she cannot have her way with me , I leave the place .
I tried to convince her that we could remain colleaugues and good professional associates inspite of our differences....
But that was not okay with her.
I had to stay on her terms or else the exit was wide open for me . That is how it had to be.
And when I did not go, she left the place. I felt like a criminal . Or a hijacker. It was her Company. She had brought me in . And what had I done?
She had left her own place because of me. How fair was that......?
And so I resigned.
She returned.
And now after ........
............. years ................. we had run into each other.
The world had changed for both of us.....
And now we are both comfortable with the changes and happy in our separate spaces.
Back then I did not want to break the ties.
Now I don't want to break the ice .....
