Of all my cousins, one us very special to me. He's my aunt's son.. two years elder to me.. and we've always been close. Lets call him Doc because he just finished med school.
So Doc has this childhood friend.. a girl.. who he knew when they were 6 and never met again until 6 months ago. They were in touch online and had been speaking for the last three years on and off.
Doc has some crazy ideas of childhood love about his girl and has been pursuing her for all of those three years.. even while he saw other girls sometimes.
For all this while, everytime me and Doc met in the holidays and vacation at my home in Delhi, Doc would tell me about this childhoon friend girl who he's in long distance love with.. and how she was always giving him mixed signals. Sometimes telling him she has a bf.. sometimes telling him she likes him.
Now I've never had a good feeling about this girl. It always sounded like she was using him as a shoulder to cry on.. leaning on him in her week moments and disregarding him the rest of the time.
Fianlly this year she was supposed to leave for her masters to the States so he went to see her.. thousand's of miles away.. spent a few days with her. When she was leaving she asked him 'to be hers' and he was more than happy.
The more time she spent in the States, the more she adjusted there, the less connected she felt him and she let him know as much. Broke his heart everytime she did too.
For the last six months he's been overly expressive about her love for him to the rest of the world.. which led me to think that she's probably not being expressive to him at all and he's just compensating for that.
A few days back he tells me he's thinking of breaking up with her because she's being very un-responsive.
Today he tells me that they broke up. He suggested to her they shoudl take a break and she agreed without even thinking for a sec.. no reasons asked or given.
He's broken and devastated.
All this while.. for the last three years.. I could see clearly that she's using him like a doormat and has no feelings whatsoever. He, however, cannot see that even now!!
I've been typing to him for the last hour explaining to him how his feelings have been played with and all he can say is 'If only I could see her.. I could change it all'.
UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Why cant he see that she's been using him all these years?? That she leans on him when she needs an ego boost and doesnt give a rats ass the rest of the time!!
After drilling this in his head for an hour the most agreement I get out of him is 'hmmm'.
He's in so much pain.. still madly in love.. and heres the part that gets me.. he's 6'2", well built and really very good looking.. if he wasnt my brother I'd have said he's freaking hot.. and I'm not biased! She on the other hand is a puny ugly average looking cold hearted bitch. He could get any girl he wants!!
Instead he's spendin his days sulking bout her. Hoping.
Why is he so blind?? And why is she such a bitch!!
You know I think he doesnt even really know her.. he just has this image of hers in his head from when they were 6 and he thinks she's still that sweet-hearted girl.
I'm so pissed off at them both I could put their heads through the wall!!
