My friend from NY

I met a girl from the new york city a few years back. She had came here as a part of her research work, for her university, Some bio things. We met at a lab, where i went with one of my friends for some of his purposes. We met at the result unit, We started on something, later floated on to many other things, we talked about places which mostly included green colors to the visuals. AS i was a good traveler, i could refer some good places, which would be good for her work. She got my number that she could call me anytime she needs help. I said bye, and thus we became hi - bye friends.But what went through my mind was different. In all the English movies, it was just dating & 1 day relations. Nothing else mattered, Nobody cared anything. So, i believed that, in U.S, things were like that. A place of no serious relations.
We later started chatting, we became better friends, i was thinking like i too will get a chance. Everything was running to the same point, that made me think, i too will get a chance. But i decided not to make a move, I waited.
One day evening she called me, she was in a hurry she told me that, she was about to leave to new york in an hour. I asked why, i got no answer. i felt really bad, but i did not ask anymore questions and waved her a happy journey
I could never understand why she left, I believed it was some urgent call from her university that made her do that.. until the day i saw her online again.
i asked what happened, she never gave an answer but switched the topic, but later said it was a personnel problem.
I asked no more questions on it as i felt, it wont be that good. I asked her to switch on the cam and mic. She first said no, but later she did, i could see her pale face, her eyes had lost that shining, she looked so sad. She just looked like she was crying for days.
I wanted to ask why but as she was not in a good shape to ask, so, I skipped the question. I knew she had a boy friend there, I asked about him. She said he was good, but at the same moment i saw tears burst out of her eyes, making a river on her face.
I waited there, until she stopped crying, i felt so sad. She said about her reason for the rush back, it was 'cos her boy friend met with an accident and now too he is in bed rest. she is there now, working and looking after him. i asked her to take good care of him and herself very well, and also that i'd pray for them.
i was actually on a shock !!!
i could never accept such a thing, real love in a place that in believed never existed. it took me days to understand the difference between the movies and the real life there
It was the movies which made me think like that, now i feel sorry for myself, i never have imagined a white girl crying broken hearted i for her love. Anyway i'm really confused on what is true and what is not.
But My feeling for my friend is now respect.
and it will be forever...
