"I have a boy friend already you know."
"Yeah. I too have a girl friend."
"Yes you told me that. By the way what are we doing here?"
"I don't know. May be discussing on how to save the world!"
They laughed together and next moment they were kissing each other.
Both did not know how they got close to each other. They were not even in the same department in college. Few common friends introduced them and they got talking casually.
They became friends. They found out they could talk endlessly for hours. May be that's what drew them to each other.
Do they have names? Of course they do.
Do I want to mention them? No I don't.
So what should we call them? He and She.
Cliched? I can live with it!
What He and She shared was something strange. Friends they were for sure. No they were not in any kind of "serious going steady" kind of relationship. Both had come to a third city for higher studies leaving their respective small towns and a girl/boy friend behind.
Their common friends raised eyebrows. He and She was aware how odd they looked together. He with his six feet and lean frame. She with her hardly Five feet and broad frame. When they met they told each other what His/Her friends were telling about this strange relationship or "Time Pass" that they were doing. They would laugh it off. No silly; not every laughter followed by a kiss. It just happened once. Yeah once or may be twice. Who cares! No one remembers now.
There were endless hours of silence between them. They would sit together in some corner of the campus and just sit for hours. No one ever uttered the "L" word. There was no commitment; no promise. They just were! And now they no longer are.
Their paths changed long back. He is a happily married man with two beautiful children. She doesn't have any child; but she is madly in love with her husband. They are complete now. Not in any kind of "half relationship" anymore.
Years later when their paths crossed; did they look the other way? Again no silly; He and She weren't shy of their "Half relationship". They hugged and greeted each other like long lost buddies. They introduced each other to their "other halves". Both were genuinely happy for each other.
Those silences remained; between them ; like some kind of treasure.
All stories of He and She are not "Love Stories". Some are " Half Stories" too.
