soul mates....no more..

soul mates no more....no more soul mates , by choice and by design.

soul mates , for the want of an exact word , because there is no word that describes them.


They were not friends ,no ,not really.No .They were not friends. Their station in life separated them.Age separated them.Experience separated them.Somehow....however they had been able to understand each other across the barriers of age ,gender and biases that society imposes upon all.


He could not easily recall a time when he and his soul mate had not been together.

He could hardly recall a waking moment when she had not been with him physically or in his thoughts.


She had always had this uncanny ability to read his mind .When he felt low ,she could cheer him up with a silly story.When he felt bad ,she could make him smile in spite of all that was not going his way.When he was on top of the world ,she was his cheering squad.When he was successful,she could say a wise word and make him find a the right perspective.

She found it easy to believe in him and he found it easier to bring all her beliefs to fruition.

She found it possible to dream dreams for him and he found it possible to dream the same dreams along with .

It was a unique equation.It was a strange understanding....

A beautiful relationship , in fact it was so unique that no one apart from these two would ever understand it.Even these two did not understand it.

They were not lovers.They were not friends.They were not even related.

They were ...probably not even aware of a need to classify their relationship.

The need was not theirs but of the other people.

Other people...


Other people , his people ,her people , his family , her family ,his friends , her friends ,his acquaintances , her acquaintances...all had the odd curious question .There was no way that an odd curious question would ever have an impact on a relationship that followed no pattern , no social pattern that is.Most of the times these two would talk about all inconsequential things and have a marvellous time , at other times they would talk about the most profound of problems and find easy answers just by talking to each other.Sometimes this conversation would not last more than a minute or two but would suffice.Sometimes they would talk for three hours incessantly yet have a lot to listen to.


Life was fun.. enjoyment and not too tough because each of them was sure that the other would offer support whenever needed without a question asked , without a moments hesitation.Yet they may not even talk to each other for many days ,or they may need to speak to each other every few minutes.Even after weeks of silence there was no awkwardness and no distance...no apology and no explanation.

Life was an experience to be savoured and to be shared..communication was the key..



However , there was a problem .There was a big problem.In fact there was a huge problem.

The problem was simple.Huge but simple. People...most people ....almost all people are scared of all things that are beyond their comprehension . His girl could neither comprehend nor understand this one part of her man's heart.The troubled girl tried and tried again....
but she failed... and she failed again.

The scared girl knew he was not a false man but she also felt that he was not true to her.



This happened once,and this happened again.

This should not have happened.

So that this may not happen again... a choice had to be made.
A choice that would put things in an easy defined platform.
A choice that had to be made.
A choice that said clearly...soul mates no more....
A choice made,a decision taken..
