The great Soap opera
How do I begin this one?
I'm sure all of us have seen our fair share of TV/popular literature about relationships in which 1 partner is cheating on the other. Where the cheated partner is advised by all his friends to see through the lies and confront his/her love/romantic interest.
It's not that funny when it's no longer on TV. I happened to witness such an incident inside my friends circle recently. I did what I thought was right -- ensured that my friend knew about what happened. His reaction was the stuff that Soap Opera's are made of -- that he believed his girlfriend and that was the correct thing for him to do.
At least that's what he told us. Apparently, he wasn't that charmed by her to dismiss our accusations that simply. He did pester her about what happened she lied to him (at least my friend says that she denied everything, I personally haven't spoken to her since). And then we have this new guy who's apparently unaware that she is not single and moved on her.
There are lies there are dammed lies and then there is truth. I'm so disgusted by the chain of events that followed that I think there is a lot of truth to that saying. My friend who was almost half a dozen time zones away from Bangalore pursuing academic goals dropped them like a hot potato in depression and flew back home. The new guy thinks we've turned against him and the girl in this triangle maintains that I was seeing things as was the other witness.
I'm sick of the lies and the dammed lies. I'm sick of two people conversations and the truth being manipulated at each stage. I don't know whom to trust in this mess. I really wish all of us would sit down in one place and finally establish who said what.
There is a lot of bitterness all around. I wonder if we should have told the truth and instead have let things take their own course.
All of a sudden you realize that you are no longer 16 and love isn't all it's cracked up to be.
