Sahil didn't understand what Ritu was asking, but Sahil must have asked all these questions after figuring something out, assuming that Ritu was trying to discover an answer to Sahil's first question.
1. "Can you imagine your life without me?"
Probably not, but life never stops for anyone; life always flows like the water of a river; there may be a slowdown in the speed of the flowing water, but it is impossible to stop. It is true that I cannot think of my future without you, but if you decide to leave me, I will be helpless to prevent you. I like your presence, but if you leave me tomorrow, I will be incapable of stopping you. If you leave, I'll be ready for that as well. Yes, I've become so strong that no one else will need to look after me anymore.
Ritu was happy with her first answer: Sahil might have expected some filmy dialogue from her, but I want real love, not pretentiousness. I'll be dishonest with the rest of the world, but I can't lie to myself. Ritu took a deep breath and attempted to think of an answer to Sahil's second question.
2. Do you miss me when you're not around?
Yes, I miss you terribly. You are as necessary to my life as salt; when you are present, I believe myself to be complete; when you are absent, I realise how important you are to me.
But can't a friend be so important? Ritu mumbled to herself, "Why can't it be, absolutely it can happen?"
Even after searching for answers to two questions, Ritu, I was unsure whether it was love or just friendship.
Ritu pondered a third question.
3. Are you bothered by my problems?
Yes, whenever I see Sahil in any kind of trouble, I feel as if I should cure his every problem, and if I can't, then God should give me every trouble instead of him.
Yes, Sahil is really important to me. Ritu mumbled, conveying her confidence.
4. Do you enjoy it when you see me happy?
Yes, seeing you happy brings a different kind of calm to my mind, and feeling your joy makes my face shine.
Have I ever experienced such feelings for someone before? Perhaps, but not for Sonu, because we were not emotionally close. Sumit was never linked to emotion; he was simply a way to forget Rahul. Finally, Rahul stayed. Yes, being happy about Rahul was important to me; if he was unhappy, I had to make the same decision as whether Sahil was happy or sad.
I have an interest in Sahil, but he is absolutely different from Rahul in every way. In fact, Sahil is unlike any of the past people; have I truly fallen in love once again, searching for answers to Sahil's questions? She was becoming entangled in her own questions.
5. When you close your eyes at night, do you think about me first?
Yes, I surely recall the entire day spent with Sahil; while sleeping, I feel calm with Sahil. I don't know how Sahil eliminates the emptiness of life; I feel complete with him. Ritu had found answers to five questions, three of which clearly let Ritu know how important Sahil is to Ritu. In response to the final two questions, Ritu's life is still divided between friendship and love, and the answer to the first question shows the continuous flow, which is Ritu's life's basic mantra.
Ritu has had many ups and downs in her love life and will most likely continue to do so. Her heart has been broken many times, but Ritu has shown the courage to love again and again.
The results thus far are shown in front of you.
30. Friendship: 30. Confessions: 30,
So let's get to the next round of questions.
6. Can you read my thoughts if I don't say anything?
Yes, I know when you need something, what you despise, and how you will react to it.
I get an idea of this too.
I felt love for myself, concern, and care in your eyes, but I never saw the desire to get close to me that I had seen in all the previous ones. Perhaps this is why I have feelings for you in my heart. There is also respect.
7 Is it necessary to be with you or around you all the time?
I need your support; you don't have to be with me all the time; this is my life, and I'll decide how to live it, but I'd like you to be a mentor to me about what's good and bad.
I don't always want to keep you tied to me because you have a life with many challenges, but yes, I only trust you to share my joys and sorrows.
8. Can you tell me without hesitation all that comes to mind?
Yes, I've never felt the need to brag in front of you; what goes in my heart always comes out on my tongue, and I'm confident that I don't have anything to conceal from you. You are aware that my rage lasts just a short time, and that I never live in the past.
What's the problem with doing it in front of Sahil?
Perhaps because Sahil has never forced me to do anything, he has always accepted me for who I am.
Sahil never asked me to modify myself for no reason just to satisfy others.
Ritu seemed to be in love once again.
After answering 8 questions, she had a score of 60. 10 points for love, 10 points for friendship, and 10 points for perplexity.
9. Would you like me to try to change you?
I do not want to change myself according to someone else. I like myself. I can never be like anyone else. I have a uniqueness, and I do not wish to lose it by changing myself; the river flows on its own. We often tamper with the flow in either direction by constructing a dam, but when the dam bursts, just the horrific image is seen; I am a free river that runs on its own flow. I hate limitations, but I will adjust myself for your happiness. However, I am confident that you will never ask me to do anything that does not involve my will.
Last and most importantly,
10. Do you look at me the same way you looked at your prior relationships, or do you look at me differently?
No way, I've never compared you to the people in my life who have only brought me sadness; you're completely different from them all.I had expected love from them, but you have given it to me without asking. My love. You loved me even after you knew about my past, but Sonu accepted my past as well, but Sonu was never my friend, like you are Sahil. You are such a great friend of mine. You didn't leave me despite telling me to leave you many times. You kept loving me without expecting love in return, but you won my trust, and yes, I now love you. I understand this, Sahil.
Thank you for helping me understand my own heart in such a positive way.
Ritu's face lit up with a beautiful smile, and why not? After all, Ritu had solved such a complex puzzle of life.
Will Ritu finally confess her feelings to Sahil?
After so many ups and downs, has Ritu found her mature love?
