And thus the letter exchange began. The result of exchanging letters was pleasantly surprising for both of them. While he came to know that though she may appear childish but she was actually very matured and at the same time had an ever smiling nature.
She got to see an entirely new side of him she was able to catch a rare glimpse of carefree playful side him. They were slowly moving ahead in their relationship from strangers to friends to secret keepers to best friends. In between they had met once and they felt that they were at much ease this time because they had exchanged letters between them.
They felt connected, safe and secure with each other. They could share their vulnerabilities, their sadness, everything and they knew that their words were not unheard because the reply to that letter would scare away the things that scared them. A feeling of finally reaching home after being in army school for so long was experienced.
And this is how the 6 months passed, exchanging letters, thoughts, secrets, ideologies and of course hearts too. They had a lot to know about each other yet, but what they had known so far made them believe that they would be able to face whatever comes in their way. They knew that these 6 months may have not been able to teach everything about love but they knew it taught them enough to understand, respect and pledge their loyalty.
And that is how they lay a strong foundation for the empire of their relationship with respect and loyalty pledged to each other. The letters help them bridge the gap of not only 6 months but also of shyness awkwardness and fear.

Well begun is half done they say and it did hold true for them too. Of course their life was not a cake walk they had their ups and downs high points and low points, fights and storms but they stuck to each other not running away from each other.
But the important point was their respect was never compromised, their words never crossed the line because they knew that words once said can never be taken back. They unlike most couples who decide to not to sleep angry to bed, had decided that while they may not always be able to get the angriness out of the other person before bed but they promised each other through letters that however angry they might be no matter what situation, what argument, whatever they will not use such words that they themselves would regret saying, this didn’t mean they didn’t talk what they felt. This meant that they knew while trying to sort out anger is necessary but giving space to someone who is angry is more important. This meant that they knew that anger never is, never was and never will be an excuse to the words used without thinking twice
