These days people tend to forget the lines. Not the "Literal Line", but the one created to mark the difference between things. For example- there is an imaginary line between what is good and what is bad, and there is an imaginary line between what is right and what is wrong. And these lines, when blurred, will only create chaos.



I am in a relationship, where I am quite introverted. And my boyfriend is quite opposite. He loves to make friends, to be surrounded by people. Recently he joined a library. He asked me to do so. Initially, I was hesitating but I didn't join and said no to him. He understood that there was some situation. So he didn't insist again. After a month of joining, he made a new best friend. A girl's best friend. In the library. So after that first month and making of a new best friend, whenever we were on call, he used to pop her name again and again like- suhani is so good, if she starts talking no one can stop her, she cannot stand if I will talk to any other girl, she is very social, she can talk to anyone without hesitation, and you should learn something from her in this context.



So after such types of calls initially I didn't pay any attention. I thought that he might have met another crazy friend like the one in college, and I know my boyfriend, I trust him, and I should not judge anyone. One day my boyfriend called and said come to the library, my friends want to meet you so badly. I was super ready. Actually, I was waiting for this movement. I went towards the library. It took me around 1 hour to reach there from my place. My boyfriend was waiting nearby the metro station so he can pick me up. We went to the nearby McD outlet, and there were his friends. His best friend Suhani and her to-be lover Prateek. She was very sweet to me. When both the boys went to order, she was still talking to me sweetly, actually, she didn't give me any chance to utter a single word besides answering her questions.



Almost half n hour passed, then out of four only two people were talking, my boyfriend and his best friend. Mine and Prateek's presence was negligible. Then they both started sharing some double-meaning jokes. Which were good, but I didn't like them. Jokingly Suhani said to me, ' please break your boyfriend's heart so that we both can get married and have children. Actually, you know what if he was not committed then he would have been my first preference'. Ok! I am understanding and open-minded but seriously not this much. She called herself and my boyfriend "soulmates". But I smiled, ignoring all her blabbering, but somehow my face showed. Then she added just as siblings you see.



Prateek then mentioned that he is having some online work to do. so he went out of the outlet. Suhani went after him saying that "you both don't get time together so I am giving you both this quality time". Nice so sweet of her. I just ignored her but all that things started stacking up in my mind. my boyfriend said that he is having something to gift me. he gave me four pairs of earrings. Yes, my favorite jewelry, and I forgot everything that happened earlier. We both were strolling around the market. And we're having some discussions. Then I again thanked him for the gift because I was planning for the gift. He said that ok but you know Suhani doesn't wear such stuff, and makeup but still looks good. I then told him that wearing jewelry is a personal choice. And about makeup, I only wear kohl and a lip shade, how can this be counted in makeup? Then he said ok don't count these things in makeup, but Suhani doesn't wear such things but still, she is so confident and looks good. You should also learn this thing from her.



I was literally in flames. But I chose to ignore it and suddenly Suhani called him and asked us to come to a cafe. We both went there. There the situation seemed tense. She fought with Prateek. Because they were actually in relation, didn't disclose to me, and now she got to know that Prateek had some hook-up partners in the past. When we went to the cafe, she started talking in loud voice. She said to her boyfriend, you see you are not the only one who had to hook up partners in the past, then she pointed at my boyfriend and said, we both were best friends long before our relationship, we went to theaters and saw which we are not meant to. My boyfriend thought that she is talking about other couples, fucking, kissing in the theatre, so my boyfriend says, yes we did, remember Suhani the couple next to us. But Suhani was in some other mood now. She keeps on ranting and blabbering, saying, yes and we did see each other too, naked, did things we were not meant to do. I lost my temper, but I am an introvert, so I texted my boyfriend that 'I know this is not the truth but jokes have some limits, don't spoil our mood because of her. My boyfriend stopped supporting her but she keeps on yelling. But when Prateek kissed her and gifted her the most expensive food in the cafe, she said sorry and told him that everything was a joke.



I seriously don't know even if people are joking why they keep on forgetting that there is a line in everything. You are hugging your best friend, planning your future, and creating fake stories in the library about you two being lovers. And you never did any of this with me in our past 4 years of relationship. Who is not going to be insecure? Who is not going to overthink about you and your best friend doing some things together whenever you both are alone? I am tired of being so understanding and fake smiling. But let's see how much longer this will go.



Will the line be created or will be erased?
