Shmt. Visalakshi Ramani,
I fully agree with your statements above, that I have highlighted, making the texts Bold.
But, dear Renuka says this -
Dear Renuka,
Yes!!! Without response from the other side for the expressions of Love from the other, "Love between the two" would never occur.
In the story, "I" has the same confusions and fear. And probably pondering about -
1) Does Savithri feels the same sense of Love, which she is just concealing within her, considering her standards/plight/sense of not expecting "I" to do more for her etc..etc.??
2) She really does not have any love feelings towards him?
3) Though she could not think of any Love to happen to get married, will she be in a position to understand "I's" Love? Can she realize his true feelings and can she accept "I,s" proposal with her heart felt acceptance, being a simple and practical girl with her sense of responsibilities and commitments, having good understanding of what life is ??
4) Will she get annoyed and cut off "I's" friendship for ever?
Dear Renuka,
"LOVE" necessarily need not to occur mutually at the same point of time as Fatal Attraction feelings. Some people can realize that "Yes, I think, I love him/her too", only after been prompted. And start truly loving the other in due course of time. And once could realize that he/she has really fallen in love, in response to the proposal, would truly mean it and would wish to live together for ever.
The spark of mutual love between the two at the same point of time as well can not necessarily lead to "TRUE CONSTANT LOVE" between the two, leading to marriage. It may also diminish sooner or later and they may get apart, realizing later that, it was only a crush...
There is no rule for the Love to happen.
Anything may happen!! Anything may change!! Anything may be surprise!! That's LOVE.
The end declares the result. And the result can be based on any probabilities, possibilities, sense of honesty & sense of true acceptance.
ONE SIDE LOVE does not always mean Obsession. One Side love can be out of true feelings of heart felt Love towards the other. It is just one's destiny/fate to have disappointments and pains. But, that certainly does not mean a mere obsession without any feelings of heart.
One may ruin one self due such One Sided Love. But that also does not necessarily mean that the person has failed to understand what is the true meaning of one's heart felt love. We may call such self ruining person as a Fool. But that certainly does not mean that he/she is sense less and does not understand his/her own Heart.
That is LOVE.
