The Right One !!

His friends thought he was crazy. He had had a break up. But they believed it was high time since he got over it, mostly because it had happened 5 years ago.

He was always a jovial guy, looking at the positives in life and pretty much living the life every 25 year old can dream of. He had his friends with him. They had been together from school and they knew him pretty well. Their gang consisted of 4 guys and 2 girls. They knew each other very well, also because of the same locality in which they grew up. He had a secure and happy job as a high school teacher and that's when she came. 

She was a colleague of his and was teaching in the primary classes. He had fell for her and had confessed to her to which she agreed without much hesitation. There began a love story which everyone thought would end happily. They had been dating for 2 years and they were about to be engaged in a week's time.

One morning he found her mail in his inbox which was pretty unusual, as all their communication was through phone calls or instant messengers. Nevertheless he opened the mail and halfway through, he felt tears rolling down his cheeks. She had decided not to carry on with this relationship as she felt she could not handle the responsibilities of a marriage. She had also asked him to forget about her and not to get back to her.

Ever since that incident he was in search of the right girl for him. He hadn't been in a relationship and now that they had been into their 30's, his friends were worried about him. All other male friends of his had settled down with their families. They still conducted a get together every 3 months when just the 6 of them would meet.

It was one such get together and one of his buddies asked the usual question about his future plans and the answer was the same as expected. ''I'm waiting for the right one.'' and he smiled at them.

The only thing he failed to notice, was the yearning in her eyes. There was one question she used to ask herself everyday. "Am I not the right one.?" She just couldn't get the answer.
