Kesar is not able to understand why Gulaal has so much effect on him even if their world is separate why can't he take her out of his mind. Why her pain/happiness bothers him. He feels satisfied seeing her smiling and his heart cries deep within seeing or giving her pain. Gulaal is not able to understand or probably she does is denying or rather not accepting it.
I agree, Gulaal knows in a way and as you say she is denying and not accepting (esp as Kesar has doesnt even know why - to what he just told her and so on)
I think subconsciously she knows what this is, where it has headed - coz judging by the reaction she had to whatever question he wanted to ask, she was rather scared i feel in knowing what might be that question or what will Kesar say
Yes, i agree that Kesar hasnt fully got why Gulaal effects him so much and why he seeks her out, and what it is he is feeling - coz to him he has always had that longing as we so those letters and hearing them, and right now its more then that, its actual love
