I had a happy married life with my four-year-old son. But what led me to fall in love with him, I have no idea. 

The story goes like this.

As I am a bank employee, we get transferred from one place to another regularly. So, it was my turn after I had completed five years in the branch and had to get transferred to a place close to my house. It was my first day in the new branch when I was introduced to each and every employee. But on the same day, I was so attracted to one of my colleagues. And our cubicles were right opposite each other.

Every day, I was looking at him but still not talking to him. I was observing him for every second. The way he spoke with another colleague. But the moment we started talking to each other normally, I inquired about him with other colleagues. Bout his native place, his personality, his family, and everything about him.

One day, I needed some help from him but he just said no to me as he was busy with some other work. From then on for 2-3days I didn't see his face nor said good morning to him. But I knew deep inside that I liked him. And it was just one sided.

He used to come to my counter after customer hours to crack jokes - sometimes singing, dancing. We went to colleagues' functions together but he didn't know what I had in my heart. As the days passed , the year 2020 began and as usual, we were working in the same place. But my internal department changes had been done. And I was now in a different cubicle, where I could see everyone but him.

I was very tensed because I couldn't see him at all anymore. Days passed and I was in our canteen. Suddenly, he entered the canteen. I told him to send me one video of covid 19. By evening, he sent me that video.

I was very happy because I could chat with him now. Before that, we were on a common WhatsApp group. On 1st June 2020 after office, he messaged me and I thought my efforts gave him a hint.

That day onwards, we continuously started talking, chatting, video calling. Sometimes, we spent the whole night talking. I told him that I liked him and I was already in love with him.

There were a lot of differences between us. He was North Indian and I am from the South. He is younger than me, he is my junior and was of different religions. He is fair and handsome. I am short and dark. He is a bachelor but I'm married.

I told him my feelings but he told me that his family had found a girl for him and that he was getting married. He told me that he was not interested in me.

I didn't know my happiness would last only or a month. On 5th July 2020, we broke up since a new person came to his life. We ignored each other in office. But it still hurts.

He is a carefree person and can move on anytime. But for me, I think of him 24x7. I am not able to sleep at night thinking about him. When it's a holiday, I find it hard to get through without seeing him.

I guess this is what one-sided love feels like.
