My friend's story but yet to be a love story- Part II

Its high time I finish Laurel's story because I am very sure that it is no more a "yet to be a love story".It has nearly taken a year for me to get to the underground reality.

Nobody could guess what was happening between Laurel and the sleek bee. My work sometimes needs help from Laurel's sleek bee and we were bound to interact. Whenever I had to talk to the bee, it always made a passionate enquiry -"How is Laurel doing?" Of course,whenever we talked this would be the first enquiry. Everyone around knew that this bee already had a king bee in some other place but still it had some corner for Laurel. I openly told Laurel about this and he denied. Then something occurred on accident. Accidentally I saw Laurel talking to the bee:

Laurel-"You look good"
Ms.Sleek-"Thanks"

Anyway this conversation is just a normal one. Appreciating somebody might not necessarily mean anything. Perhaps, might be an indication but I could not guess. You never know what lies in-between the lines. Hope you agree with that opinion of mine.

One fine morning the bee came to work and declared "I am leaving to some other place". I saw Laurel at that moment and just could not find any reactions. He gave some advice about the formalities to leave. I thought there is nothing to ado upon to help Laurel.

The bee left with a "bye bye". Laurel seemed to be normal and the bee seemed to be happy while leaving. A month later myself and Laurel went for a dinner and started talking about boys, girls and love. In a split of a second and at the slip of the tongue Laurel said,” My only bee has already left”, he looked down and then said,” it’s gone where it has to".

It was a "bang, bang" on my head. It was "bang" because I just don’t know how many more Laurels I will meet in my life. I have already seen many of them if not one of them.

Writing about Laurel, I am just trying to grapple about why human relationships are so complex. I am sure Laurel's bee had some corner for him but not sure what it was/is. Unfortunately many of us know whether a choice is right or wrong only after making the choice. Of course, I am no good at commenting at any of others choice.

Sometimes we just do not know what is happening to us and by the time we realize, it would be too late for action. Why did God create a system like this, just to break many and scar a few with memories? I say this because I have met people who keep waiting for years though they know that it is of no use.

I even met a sincere guy who feels his life is out of the groove even after years after the break up. I seldom meet him but whenever I do so ,Celine Dion's lyrics strike me "Love can just touch one time and last for a life time...., go on....".The guy still says "There is lot more in life than just this" but I know how he would keep feeling for the rest of his life.

On the other hand I also met a nice, wonderful and charming chap, who warned me saying that,
"It is bookish”;” It is fiction”;” There is nothing in this world like this”;” Be careful, don’t fall into it".

At that moment I should have told this nice chap that "You have not been loved the way you should have been and that is why you think the way you think". Perhaps, some past relationships change certain perceptions. Sometimes, I too get carried away by certain things but when doing a analysis I step out of everything.

We as humans unfortunately realize important relationships only when far apart from each other and do not realize the importance and comfort when together. That includes even Mom, Dad and your siblings. I want to say that do not let people go out of your life just like that when you realize that they are important, no matter even if it is late. That might sound easy but take it from me; it is the most difficult thing to do on earth. I say doing it is difficult because handling perplexities involved in human relationships are an enervating experience for even the tougher of the toughest.
