White Nights

Story of a lonely dreamer, who befriends random people at Nevsky Prospekt even without talking to them. He even makes friends with streets and buildings of St. Petersburg. He counts himself 'A type' and explains 'A type' as an eccentric dreamer who dreams of having friendship with a particular writer and to play The Hero in a certain play. Mostly, he dreams of himself with a lady sometimes in the abandoned garden of an ancestral house and sometimes in the balcony of a ball room.

One night, he sees Nastenka sobbing by the river. But even before he tries to go near her, she walks away as if she doesn't need any escort. Our dreamer wishes one drunkard would chase her so that he can fight with him and show this reason as licence to have her friendship. To his luck, it happens exactly so. Before parting, he pleads her to come the next night for he is so much in need of a friend. She accepts telling him not to think of her in any other way for she accepted so quickly and she is doing that for her own sake and not for him and on a pre-condition that he shall not fall in love with her.

I can clearly guess how it would end, but it is sweet to read and feel for those passionate characters. Each page deserves a kiss.

I knw the story, he falls in love because he isnt allowed to :D. But she is already in love with someone else and is waiting for him. Just when she think her lover wont be returning, and accepts your 'A type's proposal, her lover gives entry. And she leaves your 'A type' dreamer to his dreams and goes away with her lover :P.

I wish, you aren't done with it and my spoiler shouldnt be spoilt without spoiling your story reading ;).
