| title | "Love And Hate-[WE110] Weekend-Engagement Posting Topics" |
|---|
| body | "<div class="text-justify">#### What if I had to choose someone from among my loved ones? What a perfect topic @galenkp for someone in the mindset I have been in for the last 45 years. I can't think that way about my family, but yes, one of my best friends falls into this category, whom I put in the love and hate category and would not hesitate to eliminate from my life. I am sure I wouldn't mind forgetting her forever.
________
In the journey of life, I don’t know when, where, and how you find a friend. And then suddenly, your relationship status changes and reaches a different level.
I will tell you something similar today. Her smile, her soul, her heart; this was probably one-sided love, which is not the most effective. No one has control over love that happens this way. It does not decrease with time. But it only grows and goes on growing.
I don’t know what it was in her face that I was never able to forget till this date. Maybe that’s how love begins. But this is the story of my incomplete love, which is still alive in my heart and will always be there in my mind. Today it’s been 45 years since we separated, but even today her memory is fresh in my heart. Whenever I remember her smiling face, sometimes I feel like tears will come out of my eyes. There has hardly been a day when I have not remembered her.

I’ll tell you from the beginning. When I took admission in the mechanical engineering stream in engineering college, in the first year, there were 14 girls out of a total of 120 students in all three streams (civil, electrical, and mechanical), and 7 of them were in civil engineering itself.
In those days, girls did not go into engineering, but their favorite subjects were medicine and education. Well, now girls are ahead of boys in every field. So from the first year to the third year, nothing happened worth mentioning, but in the fourth year, things changed a bit.
Her name was Ratna Dutta, but I called her by her pet name, Rita. The story of how I loved her more than my life is no longer relevant. My mind was always thinking about her. I had always imagined living life with her. I wanted to live and die with her. But this did not happen.
Her father had come from West Bengal on deputation to the post of Chief Secretary of our state, and according to the rules, his daughter got a seat in the engineering college from the reserved quota. When she entered the class, on the first day, there was a strange impression in my mind. She was not like a typical Bengali girl, but there was something special about her personality.
She was just what I wanted to in a girl. Tall, slim and her complexion was perfect as if a dash of honey mixed in cream. Her face was like the full moon, and more beautiful than a flower. Her personality was as if someone had added a fragrance to the moonlight. Everything was so beautiful, especially her black swirl, deep black eyes, and rosy lips. I felt as if the goddess of love and beauty, Venus, had come down on earth, as if God carved her body with his own hands out of marble.

This was the case in those days when boys and girls used to live away from each other, and our seating arrangement in class was also like that. One day, she saw me in the canteen, and she came to my table. I got a little nervous. No, not because of the girl, but if you knew my father, you would have felt sorry for my condition. I remember my father was very strict and against if I befriended a girl.
But at that point in time, my father was about 250 km away from there and I was in a hostel here. And that girl was also in the girls’ hostel on the campus. And his father is about 400 km away.
That’s when true love happens. When my heart breaks and my heart also breaks on the same day, I fall in true love. So it was the first day, and I still remember that first meeting. We were together for 2 years in college, and later, when we got campus selection in a company, and then 1 year of training in Germany. We spent almost three years together, but not physically, as we never had any physical relationship. But then I used to think that we were made for each other.
But that’s what you think! This did not happen in my case either. After coming back to India, she got her posting in Kolkata, and I was in Delhi, and both of us kept in touch with each other. Keeping in touch during those days was not an easy task. Even the phones were not an option. It went on like this for almost a year, and we had 3 meetings during that period, but then suddenly I heard she got her transfer to one of our American branches, and my biggest concern was that she told me when she was ready to leave.
She is retired and a citizen of America now and she is still in touch with me, but if I could, I would erase her memory completely from my mind and never remember her again. You know, this is a story of love and hate. I still love her, but she is the one whom I hate most.</div>" |
