Encountering Different People in Life
What types of individuals do we encounter on our journey through life? Hearing their narratives, it becomes clear that such events can transpire in anyone’s existence. Today, I want to share an event that prompted me to reflect for several days. If someone like me, who was not personally involved in the incident, was unsettled for a short while, what must it have been like for the individual who was directly impacted? This occurrence altered that person’s life entirely. Today, I am going to tell you the true story about the betrayal that one woman suffered.
The Beginning of the True Story of Betrayal
I will now describe the true story of betrayal in detail. It took place a decade ago. At that time, I was employed in a government office. There was a gentleman named Ram. He had retired from his governmental position and began working here to occupy his leisure time. He often shared many captivating stories about his experiences during his career with me and other colleagues, and we listened with keen interest. Among those tales, I will recount a true incident that he personally shared. The story dates back many years, when he was still in his government role.
A Bond Between Colleagues
During that time, he encountered a female colleague. As the conversation with that employee progressed, a bond resembling that of siblings began to form between them. Then one day, the woman shared a heartbreaking experience from her past, regarding her feelings of brotherhood towards him. She recounted that before this, she had been employed in Biratnagar. While there, she developed feelings for a male coworker who was also her colleague. As time moved forward, her affection deepened, and they began living together as if they were married, without actually tying the knot.
The Unexpected Betrayal
Her partner had mentioned to her that he occasionally traveled to Kathmandu to visit his parents. This didn’t impact their connection. Over time, the department transferred the male employee to Kathmandu, and before leaving, he reiterated his promise to visit her soon. After he left, he did not contact her for several days. She didn’t panic, assuming he was busy settling into his new role. However, as weeks turned into months without a word from him, her concern grew. Back then, with no mobile phones or social media like Facebook, she had no choice but to wait. After about four to five months, she decided to head to Kathmandu. Once there, she began looking for her boyfriend.
While looking through government offices, she discovered his home address with the help of an employee. When she arrived at that address, what she found shocked her. The man she cared for had married and fathered two children. Upon reaching her boyfriend’s house and encountering him, the man feigned ignorance of her in front of his family and expressed anger that she had come to his home without prior notice. He insulted her in a rather petty manner. Observing and hearing all of this, she felt the urge to leave quickly and returned home in tears.
Living with the Pain of Betrayal
After that, she had no further conversations or relationship with him. However, each day she recalls the betrayal and often cries, stating that not a single day passes without tears. Upon hearing her story, Ram Sir felt compassion for her and introduced her to a lawyer he knew.
Seeking Justice and Facing Reality
Sir believed that such behavior should not go unaddressed and that the individual who had wronged her should face justice. The lawyer listened to all they had to say and proceeded to ask several questions. The first inquiry was whether they had any evidence of cohabiting in Biratnagar, such as photographs. He also asked if they were married, in which case a marriage certificate would be required. If they weren’t married, she would need to gather individuals willing to testify in court about their cohabitation as if they were a married couple. When the lawyer posed these questions, they completely caught her off guard. For starters, they weren’t married, so they couldn’t present a marriage certificate.
Additionally, while she believed he had taken some photos, her boyfriend took all the pictures with him when he relocated to Kathmandu. Thus, she had no proof of their time living together. Their relationship was merely temporary while they were in Biratnagar, which wasn’t their hometown. Consequently, very few individuals were aware of their situation. It proved challenging to find anyone willing to come forward and testify in court. After considering this, the lawyer advised the female employee against pursuing the case. He explained that without solid evidence, it would be impossible to win, and she would only end up sullying her reputation unnecessarily. He suggested that she let go of the incident and begin anew. Following some discussion, they resumed their respective duties.
Finding Strength to Move Forward
As time passed, he eventually learned that the woman had married someone else. He felt pleased for her, knowing she had moved forward. Had she lingered in that experience, it might have led to her mental decline. Thus, he stated it was better to release the painful memories of the past and start fresh. In turn, the female employee discovered a new direction, believing that divine justice would address the wrongs done to her. I also find this viewpoint valid.
Life’s Lessons and Divine Justice
People often say that the world operates in cycles; what one inflicts upon others eventually circles back around. The individual who wronged her will ultimately face the consequences of their actions sooner or later. Ultimately, how we choose to overcome the betrayal is what defines us, not the betrayal itself.
