Separation hurts!

Buddha Quoted "when you like a flower, you pluck it, but when you love it, you will water it daily".

You can hurt someone you like, but you can never hurt the person you love. Love makes you do things you never wanted to do

Ahren knew that he has taken this too far, but he can't hurt her in the end, and have to find a way back to make her understand that this is not right for her.

Ahren's POV

Sophie's message "Please be like the one you were a few days back" was the one that hit me so strong. I can't tell her that how much I wanted to continue this, but I am doing this for her better future. I knew she won't agree for physical relationships. She denied and insisted me to continue whatever was going till now. I knew this conversation is not going to help her

She texted me next morning about this and I rudely messaged her "Don't expect anything from me now". She didn't reply back on this. I didn't message her in the night that day, but maybe she was hurt by my sudden change in behavior and I wanted her to realize that I was not interested in this, while my heart knew this was a lie.

I was so busy in my work that day, that I didn't had the time to think anything else. Suddenly she messaged me that "Are you busy??" I knew she wanted to talk to me, and I wanted the same.

I controlled myself and ignored her message.

She was hurt, and I know that. Later that night around 2 a.m., she texted me "I think the situation is too forceful for you. I think I am forcing you to do something which you never wanted to do. And I am afraid of your wavering mind. Let's be friends". I read it but again ignored it. I accomplished my goal and in process of hurting her I was hurting myself too. But it was for her better future.

Sophie's POV

Next day he was not responding to my messages and I was deeply hurt. I messaged him, he read my message, but he didn't revert. I thought he will try to mend the relations, but I was wrong.

I sent my last message to him "let's be friends". I couldn't sleep that night. Separation hurts, but then sometime letting them go is the best thing you can do.

I knew this will happen one day, but never expected it to be so soon.

Next day I messaged him "Hi"

He replied "Yes"

I asked if there is anything to be completed by me. He messaged "I will let you know"

I never wanted to lose friendship with him, and never wanted to make this awkward because he is my boss, but I was feeling like he was hurt somewhere. I thought he wanted to be out of this and was wondering why he is behaving so.

I called him up and asked him "where are you, you are not responding to my messages", he said "I am busy", while I knew that was a lie. I was hurt but never wanted to show him that and neither I wanted my work to get affected.

Though I lost his friendship, but then you have to move on, and I added something to my experience.

After few moths I realized though separation hurts, but sometimes it makes you stronger and show you the reality.

That project ended and we were not in contact from four months. I worked on another project and now I have realized that he was really not important for me. Sometimes you simply feel that you are attached to something and you won't be able to leave it, but then when you actually move away from it, you realize that this was not the case. Your feelings were just due to situation and circumstances made you feel other way. Thankfully, I realized it soon and bang on it was Time for something new.
