I agree A! And besides, judging before nearing the end is also a failure in itself, is it not? Need to have some amount of faith till end or when beginning of an end is around the corner :-)

No, the period was intentional. It is my acceptance of reality however delusional I get.

Hi Sookie,

I know I am late in commenting.Sorry

I read the part 4-5 times and could not decide what to comment.

Its wonderful as always. But finaly I have zeroed in on a few things.

I liked Ridhima's reactions, she was not overly dramatic or tearful or filled with self-pity when she came to know about the truth. I think they had both spent so much time talking about their deepest selves understanding each other that she could not have misundrestood his intentions even if she wanted to.

.

I liked their views on honesty. It was so true. Its easy to be honest but being truthful all the time can be very difficult. You have to be hard-hearted to be truthful all the time.

Finally I loved the fairytale ending. 😊. Finally it did add a bit of sweet romance to the story. It was like finally proclaiming them as a couple. Prince and his Princess.

Thanks for the lovely treat.

Hi Sookie

I guess its in general nature of friends, spl female friends to nag about guys...anyways,this was very nice.
The first thing I liked was the honesty you described. It was so natural for her not to pretend or put on some facade, which is a good sign Im sure. Its hard to find people now, who are not judgemental.
His reasons for self inflicted solitude were quite interesting and very true. Pushing people out is quiet easy and then when you realise what you have done, it seems a little strange. I still cant understand sometimes why we cant intermingle with all sorts of people. I have this prejudice about people who would talk negative about somebody in the very first coversation. And the funniest part is that one day you discover that you have inherited some of the traits you hate yourself!
Change is ofcourse a very debatable phenomenon.Losing one's identity is something everyone is scared of, even if they dont really know what their real identity is.
His subtle hint of changing his life was intriguing and so was her reaction.
Her fondness for her best friend is simply endearing. And now we come the part of sacrifices. Its very well explained. Sacrifices are disasters when they become expectations...
Her past relationship was really sad. This is perhaps the most common form of break up we find but the effect it had on her was too much. She tried to end it on a satisfactory note but he messed it all up. Cruel guy.
Now Calvin and hobbes is my favourite comic...simply cant get enough of it!
Finally she has accepted her feelings for him. It was nice and simple, yet a very beautiful experience. The end was great, when she gives a call to her roommate. The idea of journal excchange is sweet. And yes there are shades of infinity in this one...
