Fabulous writing as usual.I was really busy over last few days and couldn't come to respond. But what is Aastha doing ? with her mistrust..this girl from day one when he confessed his feelings has this problem. She is just axing her relationship with her mistrust😔, how much ever Shlok is loyal to this relationship its not relationship its not helping.I felt these 2 quotes are for her.Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening- Maya Angelou."The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them"
Thomas Merton, No Man Is an IslandNot sure about 1st one but the second one. She loved his image but can she love him as he is? The guy left his best friend ...his mother for her. Their love has become like a slow poison for him. Anjali was probably right in trying ward him away but she chose a wrong path in doing so. He may have a mistress in the near future just to prove her right 😕
Jia, I'm ashamed😳 It was never meant to be in three threads. Too long I know but I promise this is the last. I should give rest to all the dear people who read with me😆
Your quotes are absolutely amazing and apt here. Love both.
First is about jealousy. I somehow don't feel its sheer jealousy this headstrong girl feels. If it was jealousy it would have been easire for him. Her feelings is deep and black and ugly.
She doesn't believe him and his questions were for me the best support of this thought. He tells her she doesn't love and doesnt respect him taking him for a shallow man. I'm sorry to hear that keeping in mind what he did for her. He saved her from death in the marriage with a beast. She forgot all the good things he did to her, he is not her prince anymore.
And I agree with you - I think she still has to learn what it means to love that man with her whole heart. She sees only half of him.
She does absolutely everything for him to go and search some "love" in another place. I'm sure he will find it easily and very soon. Who is to blame then? He or she?
If she constantly tells him he is a cheater he will believe in it one day😕
Thank you for a beautiful comment you shared with me, Jia
