This story is continued from Exams, Work and Relationship.
-------------------------------
One and half year ago - Priya had come back for a holiday from Singapore. And as usual, as soon as she freshened up, she went to meet Deepti’s mother. It was then she learned of Deepti’s breakup, emotional withdrawal and proposal for Deepti’s marriage.
She realized with guilt that she was so caught up in her own problems that she never thought about Deepti ever since she had once told her about her relationship with her office colleague. She resolved to sit with her as soon as she could and catch up for the year when she had not seen her best friend. Of course she also had so much to tell on her account too...
That was the first Wednesday when Priya went out for drinks with Deepti. They had caught up on life, work, family and relationships.
On that evening Deepti gave her a full account of her brief affair, little time that she spent mourning, her results and her new marriage proposal from Harsh.
“So what’s the problem with this proposal?” Priya quipped while munching nachos. That is the best thing about best friends, no matter how much time; they bounce back to normality as soon as they meet.
“Problem is my dear, as you like to say it, that most often the hottest ones are jerks” Deepti said with a sigh.
Priya thought about her own life and thought how that saying had proven wrong. She fondly thought of someone who was waiting for her to finish her holidays and return back to the condo that they both shared.
