It Just Happened..

Relationships at work are often talked about and is a very interesting subject . There is lot of whisper and gossip about a relationship which blossoms between a married man and a married woman . Very often the woman is a subordinate to the man in the heirarchy of the organisation . Atleast that is how it is in my story today .

The protagonists in my story are in their early thirties . The guy does not have a hunk look but has a more uncoventional look. The lady looked young and charming. Their spouses were busy with their respective careers . Interestingly both did not have an arranged marriage in an Indian context . They had long courtships before they got married . It is a couple of years after their marriage that both discovered that they were probably married to the wrong person and their interests and priorities were different . What kept them together was the society they lived in , else they would have parted ways .

What started as an intellectual conversation between the two developed into a beautiful relationship. They discovered that they had so much in common which they probably did not share with their respective spouses . They would step out for corporate meetings together and would end up spending time at a coffee shop or a stroll at a mall or an art gallery . They would always be messaging each other or talking on the phone . Their relationship was blossoming as the days went by . The emotional attachment grew and also led to a physical relationship . There was this parallel life which both of them enjoyed . However life went on normally at both the households. Work was being compromised by both of them as they spend more time together . Time for appraisals and the boss had his say . She was asked to leave gracefully . She did not have any regrets as she enjoyed the relationship she had with him .
He moved on to a different organization and now he has met someone interesting out there . All he has to say is that " It just happened "
