Dev was still pondering on the recent Facebook update he saw from Divya: She is engaged to Tarun!!! He thought of congratulating her on the same and proceeded to comment. It was then he suddenly paused and pondered: Is he really happy on her engagement????
Scene 1: A few years back
Dev and Divya were couples a few years back. They had joined the same coaching institute seeking guidance of some leading entrance examinations in India and love did not take much time to strike the chord. Both belonged to respected families, were intelligent and had been famous in the area they resided for being good in academics and co curricular activities, it was but natural to fall for each other.
They went steady for around one and half years, however there were difficulties in maintaining a long distance relationship as they headed to two different cities for their education. Day by day their behavior went on to be more and more immature and they went into the vicious circle of blame games on trifle matters. Continuing like this they parted ways after couple of years of togetherness.
Scene 2: The journey in between
Dev struggled to be alright after their break up and so did Divya, but again there were the likes of Madhav (Divya's used to tout her as the best person who understands her) and a common friend Prakash (learnt dance and went on to learn many more things about a special life long friendship) who came in her life. Madhav and Divya officially got committed to each other but tragedy struck when Madhav declined to marry her to oblige to his parents wishes. Prakash never got a chance to propose as Divya despite coming close to her cleared the air that they can only be life long friends. Prakash smelled danger and got transferred only to leave her alone.
Dev also played around with a few girls, proposed a few but could not love them so passionately as he used to do Divya. The results were a few heartbreak till one day Dev realised he is getting converted to a Casanova and it is high time he should get practical and stop breaking heart. Dev reconciled with most of these girls, begged forgiveness and promised to leave a better life henceforth.
Scene 3: Present day
And the present day is today when Divya flashed a status message of being engaged and gathered many more congratulations from people. Dev was smiling as he could sense Divya has not changed, it was only couple of months back Divya knew Tarun and being so fast in her inherent nature she could easily forget her past endeavors of love (probably she would have told Tarun about Madhav, the bastard who played the game of love with Divya to near perfection) and moved on. Probably she will get married within next 6 months.
Dev is also a changed person now. Yes he does not feel bad with the proceedings in Divya's life as he has lots of priorities on his head: priorities regarding his parents, his job and is on a mission to be a better person with every passing day. Yes he does feel it is lovely to have a loving, caring and understanding girl in life but he never hurries these days in relationships. Probably this is a wise thing to do because it gives him time to analyze his priorities makes him understand it is never bad to wait, wait for the right time and the right move.
He refrains from commenting on Divya's facebook profile, but withing his heart he tells, "Congratulations Divya, wish you a great life ahead. Hope this time you get to find your true love and a trusted life partner who obliges to your silliest wishes even!!!"
A gong on the wall clock diverts his attention towards the time. "Shit, it is one o' clock and I am yet to take a bath and cook lunch", he realizes and makes a move to do the needful.
