New SS: Starlight Express CLOSED Indefinitely - Page 17

A...Let me answer your first question.

The reason Maan didn't want to name their relationship, because he didn't want her to be confined to the emotional framework that comes with christening their relationship.
He could call it friendship, but there is certainly attraction as well. So there is leeway for creating an internal conflict in her, when she is ready to acknowledge or wants to express her affections...even attraction physically . And the same restrain can come with different levels. Think about this: what if they go different ways after they find out it was only enjoyable until they were having coffee and nothing more? Calling it a relationship, will make this time count when it turns sour. Either ways its too soon to call it one, when they still have no idea about their backgrounds or personalities in entirety. For all you know, he could still be a serial killer...:)

The second question about directing all of one's love and affection towards one person...Well it comes into picture, when their attractions are acknowledged and matures enough to be called a relationship of some form. At the moment, they like each other enough to not mind spending around time around the other. I think its pretty embarrassing and ingenue of them to call it a relationship, (let alone approach this as a open relationship), when they have only really known each other for a few hours.
Don't you think?

<edit>

Oh!...the most important of all: its she who questions if Maan is proposing a open relationship. The update is all from Geet's POV, except for the last para.

I always give a double space when the POV changes. :)

@Ucompleteme...Loving your responses...and so glad you jump in to take lead on the discussion. I'm in office now. Will write back to your comments as well.

@ Priti...Had she not given away how affected she was the instant he was holding her hand, perhaps Maan's acknowledgment would have been delayed. He would have waited for a few coffees to get a better read of her.

But she was there, standing frozen as a doll, yet shaking like a leaf and then walked away without a word...What better expose could he get? And what fool would he be if he doesn't capitalize on that.

Apparently he believes in striking when the iron is still hot. 😆

And when you answer my questions, I really need to start reading with-in-the-lines...;)

First of all I hate a response that needs so many lines. What does that tell you? That Hasini is really distracted...😆

Oh! Please do not bring in Hasini's Maan(s) into the picture, I will go on a rampage and she will ban me from her thread...;)

@ Ucompleteme: Don't talk about my male leads to her. She hates them all.

Did you read that line about the sort of man Geet thinks will fall for, in this update? That is what she feels about the legendary NYT Maan (To my knowlege )

I thought she will take the hint...but apparently it was my lucky day (or may be not ;))

Who is Maan really helping, himself or her? If he is hurt as much as she is, how is he helping her ease the pain with out knowing the reasons that caused the pain in the first place? Why can't he just say that they should be 'friends'... a relationship which is forever green!

Oh! Please do not bring in Hasini's Maan(s) into the picture, I will go on a rampage and she will ban me from her thread...;)

You are welcome. I like sparring with Aarya, she thinks outside the box and sometimes I can respond. 😊

Sparring...I would say, you two are only getting started. This is really the calm before the storm ;)

It can't get beyond this. I am a true Gandhi-ian, turn the other cheek and all. For a short story you are getting us all quite worked up Hasini. Don't work too hard.
