Thanks Tammie (and my other dear readers :)

As for your questions, maybe I will wait and see if someone else answers it before jumping in.. ;)

Are you just not wanting to confirm that old age has set in? Fine. Now that we have confirmed that, and I am sufficiently embarrassed, I think I'll go back and reread a few chapters. Then I'll come back and embarrass myself yet again. <sigh> 😆 Looks like I'll be late to work...again.

Tams, no confirmation of old age except for wisdom :)

As for your questions, I will try to give my pov... ;)

One thing I can't quite figure out is Vidya's bitterness towards Guarav. She was the one who brought up Salome. She was the one ignoring him and wanting to be left alone. Why is she now so bitter?

She only brought up Salome when he asked her why she wasn't the least bit curious about the unconsummated state of their marriage. She only took to ignoring him once he confirmed that he is indeed in love with Salome. [verbatim: Q. "Do you still love her?" - A. "Yes."

He was honest with her about Salome and he did seek her out. What exactly is she looking for from him? Doesn't seem quite fair to Guarav.

What exactly is she looking for from him? Who knows... but evidently she knows what he is unable to give... I think that gives her the right to be a tad bit bitter... especially now that he is not a stranger to her... and given how their relationship had been progressing until that point...

Just as her thoughts reflected:

The next few days passed in a silence that was...strained, to say the least. For some reason, the fact that they talked of the other woman seemed to make some hitherto unknown difference in her reaction to the situation...

There was something about an unacknowledged truth that made it an un-truth... and un-truths bred false hope without permission...
Despite how rational she had been to that point, she realized now how truly dependent that rationality had been on the un-truth... because there was no such rationality to be found in her now... Pragmatism had somehow flown out the open window when he had grabbed onto her hand and asked her why she wasn't curious that he was not sharing her bed. How dare he?

Seems like he hasn't changed at all, but she sure has.

What reason does he have to change? He has known the facts all along. It is she who now knows unequivocally what is truth and what is not.

It's her bitterness that I can't quite define. Is it that he loves someone else? By her own admission, she's known that for four months. His acknowledgement of this truth all of a sudden makes her this bitter? I can see sadness and disappointment, but this bitter? Or is it that she felt something when he grabbed onto her hand that she has mistaken for anger, and now can't quite process her own emotions? Or is it a combo of both? In either case, is Guarav really to be blamed? I feel bad for him because he has no insight into the workings of his wife's mind. It's like a whirlwind in there, and he has no clue, other than she is ignoring him.

Don't get me wrong, they both are entitled to the pain they are feeling... I just thought that as intelligent as Vidya is, that she would do a bit of introspection to figure out her bitterness. But then again, we women are often way too emotional for our own good.

I'm sure none of this made sense, so once again, I'll just slink over to my corner and hide my head in embarrassment. 😳

Maybe you are onto something there with your hypotheses about Vidya's feelings ;)

By her own admission, she does not like strong emotions and fights them rather than explore them... she even mistook the White Tiger in her story to represent her husband...

Good update Devi.

Tammie...I know what you mean. I am having trouble with Vidya's bitterness too Devi! 😆 Bitterness generally stems from unmet desires or the like but when it comes to Gaurav, Vidya has known the truth all along. I get what you are trying to say about unacknowledged truths being a fallacy but somehow, here the proof of Gaurav's feelings stared her in the face. The practical and matter of fact VIdya does not jive with the one who can ignore cold hard facts.

Where is there cold, hard facts in emotions?

Devi...I meant practical Vidya knows the facts...she did not strike me as the sort who would ignore it. Yeah hearing it straight from the horse's mouth is shocking but it still does not explain the bitterness to me. Don't know if I am making sense. 😆
