The Story Of S And P - Part VII - The Hiccup and the High Spirits

One day, it almost seemed to be another last session before a gap would set in between them. A little before this, P develops a few negative feelings about S, and whatever S does that seems peculiar, or the things that S did before that he did not fully understand then, were all oozing answers when seen through this lens. P does not tell S about this, and wants to part on a friendly tone, not after having a spat. So, P tells S that he is leaving, but characteristic of her, again out of nowhere, she pops in an innocent question that launches a deluge of idea exchanges. They had been building up the silence, and it had been building pressure in their minds - the silence and mis-communication led them to form ideas that are not really true. P was under the impression that S treated him just as a friend, and nothing more than that. He came to think that she is a steel hearted being. He thinks that it isn't like an iceberg that can be melted just like his.

P had plans to advance his career, and to achieve that, he would have had to be away from the village of VM for quite a while. That prospect saddened him, now that his communication with S was going in a full swing - especially rejuvenated after the clearing of misgivings. Until this while, P only met S in the village of VM, and nowhere else, though she visits another village called Y which is more easily accessible to her, and yet another village called 'Mob' which is just an arm's distance away to her from accessing. So, he requests her addresses, and she was only happy that he asked her.

The communication that followed was really a flood. They kept on talking, trying to build up where they left off, clearing misunderstandings that have arisen out of all the silence. Yet again, P finds that S is still the same granite heart, but this time, he also comes to understand the way towards light. He analyses that to reach his goal which he now thinks is difficult, but not impossible, it would take molten lava, in the form of patience, understanding and time to get into her heart. It is that hope that drives him now.
