My friend just left me with the biggest WTF moment of my life.
Pata hai aaj kya hua? I genuinely got one of the biggest shocks of my life.
A little background first.
During my master's, I had a group of around six friends, three guys and three girls, including me, although that part isn't really important. I first became friends with one of the girls, let's call her Y, because she lived on the same floor as me. It was only my first week at university, and I barely knew anyone. She was from Pune, and the rest of the group was mostly from Pune and Mumbai, so I naturally became a part of their group through her.
Now there was this one guy in the group, let's call him X.
He was the kind of person who had an opinion on absolutely everything. What you're wearing, how you look, what you should do... literally everything. He always had to be right, acted like he knew better than everyone else, and honestly came across as entitled and narcissistic.
So, naturally, I didn't like him.
The funny part is, Y didn't either. In fact, all of us girls spent hours talking about how insufferable he was. We even used to joke that we felt bad for the girl who would eventually date him because we couldn't imagine anyone putting up with his personality. To put it simply... we absolutely roasted this guy behind his back.
Then our internships started.
My internship was about an hour and a half away from the university, so I shifted closer to my workplace. Because of that, I gradually lost touch with the group, and we only met once every month or so.
Now cut to today.
Y called me in the afternoon and asked, "Are you home? I want to tell you something."
So we decided she'd come over in the evening.
The doorbell rang...
...and Y wasn't alone.
X was standing right beside her.
I remember giving her a look that silently asked, "What is he doing here?"
We chatted normally for a few minutes, catching up on life. Then they both looked at me and said,
"We have something to tell you."
"We're dating."
I genuinely thought it was a joke.
Then they added,
"We're serious... and it's already been a month."
Meanwhile, my brain completely stopped working.
Every single conversation Y and I had ever had about this guy started replaying in my head. I was just staring at both of them, trying to process what I'd just heard.
I still couldn't believe it, so I asked,
"You're joking... right?"
She smiled, held his hand, kissed it, and said,
"We're serious. Ab isse zyada kya hi proof doon?"
Next bomb was "Iss baar jab diwali p India jaayenge toh we are planning to tell our parents also".....
At that point, I just congratulated them because... what else was I supposed to do?
But even after they left, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
How do you go from talking so badly about someone for months to falling in love with them? Not just casually dating, but already talking about marriage.
I genuinely wish I could ask her what changed.
My brain is still trying to process it.
