Subha, this was just a lot to digest -- a lot of the pain fresh in my mind from when someone close to me lost her husband after bare 7 years of marriage. As I write this, I try to contain the tears I thought had dried out but your story here reinforces the idea that one may find happiness again and not feel guilty of the same.

Irene and Ranjith may have been bound from their very childhood - Denny was meant to drop in her life for a brief spell. I don't know why life does what it does - there's no explaining the happenings. We bear the brunt of it but we somehow function because the show must go on - but why must it go on where one lives like a shadow of themselves. May there be a Ranjith for every Irene out there so that she may live her life to the fullest.

Thank you for writing this emotionally charged and highly relevant story, Subha.

OK first thing first, here's a hug for you for writing this brilliant and emotional Christmas story 🤗

I read this at work yesterday, and couldn't connect with all the emotions. AT work, I am practically emotionless.

This is such a wonderful OS. Reminds me of The Gift of the Magi by O Henry, though the settings are different of course.

Irene and Rony's story belongs to a completely different class, this is more than a love story. This is a story of hope and inspiration, of second chances, of taking leaps into the unknown ... all interwoven with love and respect.

Did I say this is a beautiful emotion alright?

Thanks for writing this. Now I want a piece of that cake.

First of all... I shouldn't be sorry for this late reply.

Rather you should be sorry for almost making me numb enough to be unable to type a reply.

I am such a lover of tragedies that makes me all entangled to this story at a go. Death specifically fascinates me like nothing else.

A death here completes a story. Not that the death was ever a necessity, it was sad. Maybe Denny could have forever kept her the happiest. But then, Ranjith wouldn't have been complete ever. An incomplete love hurts more than death at times. A sacrifice of life on Denny's part was absolutely not needed, but maybe that's where fate plays its role. Most importantly, Irene is hard earned a jewel to Ranjith. He won't ever let her cry again.

Completeness has different facets.

Denny's life was complete in the sense, he was to live that much, but however much he lived, he was happy.

Irene was the one leftover, when he left. Incomplete.

Ranjith was forever incomplete without Irene.

And everyone in this world owes being completed. Just everyone.
