....................!!!!!!!!!! Continued Part 2

The next set of coincidence came when Ruhan joined a salsa class. To his astonishment he found nikita present there as well. The first thought which crossed Ruhan mind was to swap partners and to be a partner of Nikita. As filmy it could be, the trainer intervene and found Nikita and Ruhan would look good together (in the final performance) due to their complementary heights. Ruhan for the first time in his life was happy about his short height.

Salsa proved to be a big bang in their relationship. Now they were more than good friends. Both started liking each others company and spent most of the time together and more than anything respect each other. For everything it was discussed between them before coming to any decision or action.

It was now a year long relationship they were now seen as a couple by every one in the group. Though there was no formal proposal by either of them but both of them knew. As with closeness came names for each other, Ruhan was named “dugga” and nikita “duggu” by each other.

By the time dugga was completing his third year of engineering, duggu was about to finish her graduation. For duggu, with the graduation degree there was another thing which was standing on the doorstep. It was the pressure of marriage from her family. Both of them discussed about the problem before but could not find anything near to solution.

But now the storm wasn’t far. Duggu parents have already found two or more prospects for her and now it was inevitable for her to talk to Ruhan. She explained everything to Ruhan and asked for his take. Ruhan repeated the same which he told before that he would only think about marriage once he would have a nice job and probably would take this step only after his first promotion. Though she understood and considered him right but she didn’t have options. For the first time in 18 months they had a huge fight.

“ You don’t have choice to choose your boss , but you always do have a choice to choose your friends and more importantly your life partner”

Next few days were terrible for both of them. Nikita wanted Ruhan to talk to his family and she would in turn talk to her family and then they could find a solution. Ruhan on the other hand was fearful of the fact that he hadn’t even completed his engineering and the relationship would not be accepted anyhow by his family. Moreover he wasn’t in the position of confronting them. Both have their own limitations and their own way of explaining each other.

Now it was only one point of discussion on the calls and there were tears all over the call. After 3 weeks of indecisive discussions it was the day when both of them didn’t uttered a word. There was just silence all over and it was a probable end to their so called love story.

For the next 2-3 weeks none of them talked and on a Sunday morning Ruhan found himself at the epicenter of earthquake. He received a message from nikita about her engagement. He also received the card of her marriage which predictably he never attended.

For Both of them it was an end to Dugga- Duggu saga ….
