Suppose 'A' is the person you love and 'B' is your best friend of the same gender.
You've shared this secret only with 'B' that you love 'A'.. A and B have known each other for many years now but you are not a fast friend of A. You ask ur best fren to get things working between you and A. So, when your best frens sees that you are truly in love with A, she first helps you to become a good friend of A and then does several other things for you .. like, once she invited both of you for a dinner at some hotel.. so she calls up A and asks him if he could pick up you from your home. A agreed. Then, when A and you reach the hotel.. she calls up one of you and make some excuse for she can't make it to the hotel for dinner. So, it was just you and him at the dinner that nite! What more could you ask for ;) Lol.
Anyway, you and A talk to each other almst every other day on phone now and finally one day A proposes youuu! You happily say yes to him.. and u rush to your best fren's place to inform her about it.
Everything's going good between you and A... until one day when you are at your best fren's place, she goes to kitchen to get you something to eat and while she is away.. you come across a personal diary of hers about which she never told you and out of curiosity, you decide to read it. What really shocking inside was, there were too many pics of A attached in that diary and everything written about her love for A. You are really shocked to know that she loves A but she never told him or anyone about it bec she thinks that she is not the type A has ever wanted and that it's only one-sided love.. Waitttt, there's something written about you too in the diary. What's that? 00/00/00 (date) -- "Finally A found the one he always wanted... it's my best friend ___your name___"
You run away frm her house without telling her anything. Your boyfriend also gets to know frm your best fren about this behaviour of yours and everytime he questions you about it, you change the topic..
Next scene (After a couple of months):
You are out with your bf and he tells you that he wanna share something with you which he hasn't ever shared with anyone before and even thou he should have told this to you before but better late than never... He also apologizes before telling you the story which he had been hiding from everyone.
With much hesitation, he says, "You are not my first love.. My first love was a girl who never loved me.. I was just not her type! So, it was only one-sided love. Althou I never told her how I felt about her.. but what I felt from our conversations was that she always considered me only a good friend of her. She never said it herself thou.. but I didn't want to break our friendship by telling her that I have fallen for her...
And after we (you and A) became friends, one day she told me that you love me.. I wouldn't have figured otherwise, seriously! And she told me that she would love to see her best friend (You) happy with me (A). By now you would have already guessed who is she.. she is none other than your best friend B.
That was one of the two reasons I proposed you! Her happiness.. and the other reason bein that I myself knew very well the pain of loving someone and not getting loved in return, so, I proposed you. It's true that noone can ever replace the love I've for her.. but I care a lot about you and promise to keep you happy!"
Now that you know both of them love each other but they don't know about it at all.. What would you do in such a situation? Knowing that they both love each other STILL... Would you get their relationship working? Do you think that your bf is cheating on you? err, i don't think thou. He cares about you and respects your love for him... B loves A and A loves B yet they don't know that they both love each other!
Would you sacrifice your love for your best friend as she did? Agreed that she didn't know A loved her but she was the one who got your relationship working. What would you do in this situation?
