Infatuation. - Page 2

Well, I am not someone who tolerates lies...So what I told Suman had been the truth. I have never felt seriously about anyone..but Suman has been the most interesting girl I have met.

For how long should you have feelings for a girl to call it beyond infatuation? A week? A month? A year?

And what differentiated infatuation from love? Because I know I can never tolerate it if the girl I love had feelings for another person..I would simply hate her after that...there would be no way for me to reconcile...

So, forget Suman..if it was any other girl too, I wouldn't forgive betrayal.

Would that be a test of love?

Because I have seen Shravan...He hated it that the girl he loved acted like she didn't reciprocate his sentiments...he was consumed with the agony of it... it made him a completely different person...

Imagine..what he felt for Suman had the power to change him like that!

Nafrat...Hatred.

And love..and infatuation...

Hatred can never be an expression of love, no mater how people try to justify it..It could be a TEMPORARY state...but then, I have always felt one would move from that...

Interestingly, I didn't feel hatred when I knew about Suman and Shravan..neither did I feel sympathy...

There was a sense of loss...as if I had been judged second in a race...it was a little hard to swallow at first.

But whatever feelings I had for her died down in that one instance...In place of it I found emptiness. I did not feel anger or hatred or depression...It didn't even feel like it made much of a difference to me beyond the pain of a dismissal...

And then I looked at Shravan. The man was blowing hot and cold...One could see he was being blown to pieces...Hatred, he called it...To the extent it loomed over them both, large enough to destroy Suman.

And then there was a moment of tranquility. A moment where he felt she was threatened...It was amazing to see the change in this guy. He forgot all his hurt and hatred...all he could see was her. He forgot about his pain.

That moment he cared...unselfishly...unmindful of himself...

That can never be me.

I don't know how many years it would take to distinguish between infatuation and love...but what I saw here was definitely LOVE.

And that is what made me realise they simply belong with each other.

Note; An Adi OS for all lovers and haters and neutrals...😉

Missed reading your posts, Chick.🤗

Adi is a little shady as of now. I am unable to figure him out. On one hand, he looked very villainish in the way he was questioning Sumo about her past relations or even in the way he disregarded Nirmala. But on the other hand, he brought Shravan directly into the house & closer to Suman despite knowing about their past relationship.

Wonder what he is upto. Actually, a more apt question would be - why is he trying to drag things to the altar, when clearly he's lost interest in Suman. As it is he's been a very random character, hope that there's some good reason behind his actions rather than just an excuse to show an abla nari ditched on the altar.

In one hand I hold a sand timer, aged, in the other I hold strings that tie me to my puppets. It is said that even the mighty can't fight me- I'm Destiny. A master puppeteer. And I control time as it ticks past days, months, years. I choreograph the dance performed by my puppets, through flat lands and stormy seas; under clear skies or thunderstorms. Here, to my right is my dear friend Love. To my left, the cackling triplets - ego, jealousy and suspicion - Never a friend but sometimes an ally.

If you recognise her love for another, I take it upon me to direct your response. It takes my fancy to blow strong winds to the left. I decide to unleash the triplets, as I did earlier with the other man. For it is palliative for me to see you struggle against time. It is invigorating to see you fight a loosing battle. And as she did earlier, my friend Love begs at my door to let spring bloom in the winter garden. But as I play with my sand timer and watch the peccadillos of my puppets, as Master Puppeteer I decide if you should be blinded by love or consumed with jealousy, and I decide when I will open the door for my friend Love to spread her warm light.

Loved this Soup! Yes, whatever this is that Adi feels, it was not LOVE! Not the sort of love that really changes you and changes your life!

There are SO many types of love. What he felt for Suman was like a crush! What Shravan feels for Suman can literally Crush him! It is an all-consuming "Passion!". The ONLY kind of love that is worth feeling, at least for that one person you just can't dismiss no matter what!

"Mile, ya na mile...yeh ishq hamesha ek Junoon ban kar dil main rahega!"

THAT is the kind of love that Shravan feels for Suman! The kind of love that Heathcliff felt for Cathy. What Darcy felt for Lizzy (in spite of himself and all his rationality). One love story ended in tragedy and the other in triumph. But in both love stories,the love was intense and all-consuming. Just the way love should be! (You know how much I love Junooniyat in love!).😉

In front of how Shravan feels, Aditya's feelings almost appear a joke! Thanks for this!
