Bithch or is it just human???

I went through a VERY ugly scene at office.....

Now my office; the division that I work in (although I am the only designer I have to work closely with some other people) has about four more people working in it. Young buggers not that much experienced some of em just out of the institutes.

Now I'm not a very loud person. I'm simple and most of the time in my own world with my head phone on and hogging on the PC whenever I'm not running around shouting at the people in the sample room...
So even though I interact with the people here I'm not all that connected... another reason for my "Isolation" is that those people really doesn’t fit to my taste... u know the usual office crowd for the funny is when u talk filth and crap like that!! I am good with them, I go out with them but no serious connections....

one of these people a female (we'll call her Pink), joined in about four months now... I myself interviewed her, I knew a before hand also from the fashion school from a different batch. A loud mouthed woman, fun but arrogant. Selfish and one of those know it all's. But since she knew me before hand and I helped her with the job we were somewhat close.... !!!!


A new girl joined in recently.... last week to be precise. She is and experienced person, only and year elder to me, married and has a big kid also.... (We’ll call her Red)

now since she is a mature more kind natured quiet person. We kinda got along well...

yesterday she came on the chat and asked me if she can ask me a personal question... I was like shoot it out.
Red: Do you remember the picture of the child that you showed me?? ( I showed a pic of my best friend daughter... it was one of the cutest pictures EVER!!)
Me: Yep.... what about her??
Red: your ex- was she that girl’s mom???
Me: (What the #*$&#(!$^!#$)!#$!!!!) What???
Red: and who is that child real father??

(It took a couple of minutes to get shake off the dizziness that I got when I banged my head on the ceiling!!!)

Me: well I wish she was.... she is such a sweet angel... but she won't be that cute if she was mine would she now???
Me: who told you that???
Red: well its not important..... I heard it....

At that point I knew that there was only one person who can say that... Pink is the only person who knew my friend coz we were at the fashion school!!!!

Me: there is only one person who could’ve said that... And I’m wondering why she said that???
Red: Who???
Me: Well u know.. do i have to mention names???

well she knew that i know!!!!

Me: How come u guys talked about me??? i mean what made (Pink) say such a thing??
Red: well... uh... she sort of told me that you were having an affair with her... and that u might be the father of the child..... and that I need to be a bit careful coz u have a thing for married women!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK????

I didn't know what to say!!!! What kinda crappy thing to say???

What did that bitch expected by doing that???? Is it just normal for people to do that a little bit of back stabbing... so that they can discredit the other person... she had no reason to be jealous or anything.... she had a man... whom she was going out with... and I've helped her in every aspect I could at the office...

I'm greatful to Red for not blindly believing it and being straight forward.... But if it was me I wouldn't have even bothered the other peorson.... would've simply asked Pink to bugger off.... after all that is their personal life... I really am not bothered about who's hitting whom as long as its not within the company and its not effecting there work!!! But it clearly has effected on the relationship of me and Red... I felt so weiered... and uncomfortable.... we're ok but it has stained the realtionship!!!

I'm terribly hurt and disturbed... it's upsetting to find out that you cant trust the people around you anymore...

Is it bitchiness or a part of just being human??? Am I missing something here????
