They met for the first time when they joined this organization
They had similar skills and experience
They were both ambitious, smart and wanting to excel
They supported each other grow
And they became the best of buddies
He is the boss... their manager in the organization
He liked the competition amongst them
He liked the cordiality between them
He guided them well and challenged them the most
And he became their most trusted mentor
They took up challenges others dared not
And gave all they could to make it succeed
As days went by, they made their mark
Won many laurels that others could not
And became a team that everyone marveled
One fine day they sought his advice
On a subject personal to them, between them
Yes... they were in love!!!
Inseparable and planning for their future
And seeking his advice to separate
They were seeing too much of each other
And wanting to be independent… yet connected
They wanted to pursue separate paths
And yet be connected in matrimony
Now they have problem with both
He saw their reason, understood their motive
And recommended a transfer for one
To another city where their organization had a branch
The guy took it up; saving the girl, the pain of relocating
He wished them well, wanting them to succeed
As months went by, new members joined
Settling down and work going as usual
And one late evening, she asked him
If she could also be transferred, as by now
Both their families has agreed to their matrimony
He was more than delighted to oblige
Giving his strongest recommendation
And personally seeing it go through
For he has not met such a pair
Whom looked made for each other
They kept in touch with him
Invited him for their marriage
It was a grand ceremony
With families, friends, relatives…
All celebrating… all happy
Just an year has passed when she called
Wanting a transfer back
For their marriage has not worked
They have decided to separate
And she no longer want to be near him
What could have gone wrong… he wondered
As he had never imagined they would separate
Reluctantly he agreed for her transfer
Deciding that he would intervene in person
And get them back to gather if he could
He waited for her as expected date neared
She did not show up as he had feared
He learnt that she has sent her resignation
Just that morning through an email
And no one knew where she is now
He called on him, to have a word
And offer some advice if that’s still heeded
But he refused to talk on the topic
Calling its all over and done with
And he wondered, if they were the same persons
What happened between them, he reflected
They were capable of overcoming any challenge
And face any situation with courage and conviction
Whatever has happened between them
Would remain a mystery to him for ever
They had similar skills and experience
They were both ambitious, smart and wanting to excel
They supported each other grow
And they became the best of buddies
