The Story Of S And P - Part V - The Hiatus and Reunion

Unable to bear the shock, he decides to make another serious attempt to build up the iceberg, and quits the village of VM. P spends a long time, with turmoils in his mind, the sadness lingering on, the jolt being very damaging. Its the longing to be back to talk with the mirthful S, that made him get back to the village of VM a couple of months later, though the visits were strictly infrequent. S shows surprise and piquancy that P has left the village, as if she was in love with him, and that he should not have left it like that so suddenly. P remembers telling S that he would leave, but he does not make any comment then. P's thoughts about the affinity between him and S were not wrong, afterall. The minor discord between them died down pretty quickly, and they became the same old friends again, merrily talking about nothing in particular, making fun of one another, calling each other names, having fun, but restricted themselves to the public meetings, amidst everyone.
