... No matter where you go or what you do, you live your entire life within the confines of your head.... which is controlled by your mind.. if you can control your mind.. the heart will follow... for which I think you expect too much from your readers.. after all we just being human.. maan has a long way to go.. where geet is already there.....

looking forward to how the story unfolds... :)

So I am ready to comment now...these are just my observations 😊


Geet:"I will talk to Rachana'for you'no'for us'"

So she is ready for a counselling now.. why didn't she do it then??.. I won't blame Dev completely. for me it's 75-25... 75% Geet is responsible. See, Dev doesn't know anything about her when they got married. He even gave her 1 year but still she didn't try to open up. If she had opened up herself why she did it like that, i am sure that dev might have put in some efforts.

If we think from his POV; he was only 24; still struggling to prove himself and rejected by his own wife. The things that she used to do there can be done even by a maid. Don't misunderstand me, I am not telling that sex is everything but it's something but most important is trust and understanding. They never had that and she also didn't try from her end too.

I am eagerly waiting to see what happens next and how Maan and Geet is going to take their relationship to next level. Also, I don't want Maan to give in everytime. Compromises and sacrifices can be done from her end too... 😊

Is it Geet's fault that for the sake of society and familial obligations she had to get married at the age of 18? That too in India in a typical family in Punjab!
Is it her fault that she got to witness rape/sexual abuse at the age of 11?
Is it her fault that rape/sexual abuse is a taboo topic in South Asian Culture?
She was not even aware of what was happening to the girl who got raped.
Where would Geet go..whom would Geet talk to..how would Geet express herself...
She was frightened to death, scared to go near a man...how can she have a trusting relationship with Dev..when she was scared of men n to add on to that....she was told she will just have to marry at that tender age. How can she open up...when she is scared n frightened?
Lets not forget the fact that she was away from everyone.....away in Canada..thousands of miles away for any comfort and support system.
Geet cannot be blamed for 75%. Life happens...and sometimes you just do not know how to deal with it. A person learns from experience and with the help of people around them.
Dev was just struggling with basic n normal things in life that a guy had to do....career, etc.
But Geet was struggling with much more complex issues.
R we gonna cut some slack for Geet or what?

Now nothin' can take you away from me
We bin down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me coming' back for more

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying' here in my arms
I'm finding' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feeling' down

Ya - nothing' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

N' baby you're all that I want
When you're lying' here in my arms
I'm finding' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

I've bin waiting' for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are coming' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standing' there by you

Wow.....one week anniversary !!!!
I'm waiting to see what Geet plans for Maan.....hmm I feel he's gonna love it and adore Geet more...he is the one who believes every occasion and day is special !!! or is it Maan who comes up with a plan ....the current turn of events could mean that :)

Water dear, you got me wrong. See I am telling that Geet should have opened up to Dev. How can anyone guess she had a bitter past ?.. The same would have happened with Maan too if she hadn't told him about this.. But here she opened up coz of the fear of loosing him and she is ready for a counseling too.


Hi,
Geet could have opened up to Dev, but how could she? How can someone talk to someone about their deepest fears and insecurites if they do not feel comfortable or connected to them. This is not normal stuff that Geet wanted to talk ....it was deep...which left life long scars within her.
The same would not have happened with Maan. She opened up to Maan because there was a connection. They connected on a different level. She could trust him, she saw that he wanted to be by her side in her good times n bad.
Again..she did not open up to Maan because she feared losing him.
She actually felt so comfortable with him that she took the risk of losing him by telling him the truth. Because their relationship went on the next level. She wanted to tell him about her life...she wanted to be honest..and if that meant that she could lose him she was willing for that...because at this point in time being honest with the love of her life was the only important truth.

Part 46 Pandora….hmmm!! Pandora…why do I get the feeling this title means something bad will happen. Pandora means "all-gifted" in Greek, but according to the myth sshe unleashed all the evils to the world…Hasini….I hope Geet doesn't unleash something that she shouldn't!!! Staying optimistic!!!

OMG! This Dadi-Shrivastav team is so cute and funny!!! Gotta love dadi!

I can't believe she said "my boss"…that's gotta hurt…Poor Maan! But love how he's so bold and walks up to her and holds her hands….awwwww!!!!

NOOOO!! She's stuck in India…I hope she doesn't go back to HP!! Maan to resuce…please Maan tto rescue!!!

Dhaba scene was so emotional and touching…the realization dawning on her that he was with through her tough times….when it really matters!! Loved her monologue…she's not questioning their love, but she understands that she can't ignore his feelings either….very well handled and written, might I add!!! And she goes back!! Me so happy!!!!

She's so cute…she jumps into the pool…gosh that's so Geet-like. I loved how you added in the small little line…he didn't me in his arms, but why am I expecting that? OMG! This girl is gonna kill me….correction you're gonna kill me!!! LOL!!!

And then she wants yesterday's arrangements….staying in HIS room and HIS bed…and she actually said MY maan….MY!!!! Hasini….I'm super happy!!!! I had to read it like 5 times just to make sure she actually said MY MAAN!!!!

OMG! Both are fighting like hubby-wife…it's so chweet!! She's trying to patoa him and he's trying to ignore her and in turn she gets annoyed and mad at him! I'm in love with this scene! And then both eventually give in…both are so caring towards each other! The feeding scene was so cute, reminds of the time she first fed him back in New York….old times!!!

OMFG! He licked the honey off her fingers!! I need to breathe…this is insane…in a god way, but so insane! So glad I decided to read this tonight!!! He closing in on her and that's so hot…love how you described his nose...her hair...hands trembling….so much chemistry and passion in the air!

AHHHHH!! A small box…can it be what I'm thinking?!! But before that….a kiss and holding each other….YES!! It's been a long while since they shared such intimacy! Ok only a charm bracelet…I thinking of something else, but it's cool…he bought her jewelry…step in the right direction!

I loved the charms….and his explanation…no end or start…like how you tie me to you…must be one of the most romantic lines I've ever heard! The butterfly…so lovely! And sweet Geet getting a gift for the 1st time that had thought and love put into it!!! Finally, good things are happenin' to our girl! I loved the little explanations with each charm and the continuing kisses he gives her…could anyone ask for a better b-day!!! The Niagara memories…and the best part..the white crystal…all comes back to a full circle! She had it made…2 parts of a whole…that's Maan and Geet!!!

Ending: tasted life with her….not sure what that meant, but I'm guessing he's referring to all the experiences he had b/c of her….he understood the real flavors of life due to her! And now I finally understood why you named it Pandora…his last few thoughts are so beautiful and so wonderfully deep and poetic and symbolic!!!! Thanks so much for this….I'm so glad I read this part!!! And now I'm off to bed to stay lost in this beautiful world in my dreams….I just love how I can capture their whole experience and feel exactly what they're feeling….your writing is truly magical!!!

OMG!!!!! How could you do this???
For once everything was settled and calm but there again a hurricane just tore it apart in a sec. I am really saddened by this. But to look on the bright side, somehow Geet can overcome the rape incident this way by marrying Maan all over again. You like to tie everything together so this is what I am expecting from the next part. And by the way, I still love your FF and will not ever stop reading it no matter what happens.

Hi,

Last update was quite confusing.
First n foremost, I thought it was Geet who was going to surprise Maan on their one week anniversary. She did....and that is great. But I was disappointed because the thought of surprising him came out at the last moment. It was in a spur of a moment.
I know that they had only been married for a week now and she was sick n what not..but personally speaking...I would have been more satisfied if there was more thought n planning in it. Also, the bracelet engraving...was like a last moment thing...when he was in the change room. To me that reflects, not much of care n concern...she was just trying to do something special to make up for the guilt she felt.
It did not come from within her heart...she did it for her own selfish reasons...to feel better from the guilt.
Also when she was down in her apartment...she called it 'silly bracelet'......i did not like it either. I mean what she did was special...to me..but why did she go ahead and call that creativity a silly bracelet.
Morever, while trying to make it special for Maan..she still had Maan on his tip toes...he was consoling her, drying off her tears, caring for her...being there for her, worried about her...etc.
Even though it was suppose to be a special day for him..I felt like the tables were flipped.....
Geet was on the receiving end..n once again Maan was the giver.
I m myself surprised at my comments above....I believe I m way more frank than I usually m.
In regards to the divorce...this is where I was confused...
R u trying to say that the judged finalized the divorce papers after Maan n Geet got married...so in reality their marriage is not valid...because Geet was technically still married to Dev?
Rachana
Edited: Also the fact that when she asked Maan....that she wanted her Maan back...did she think before asking that from him? Cus I can clearly see that she is not prepared for it.
I mean the instance when he went to buy her the gift, his actions in the elevator and his actions when they were back in the apartment....she was uncomfortable.....den why did she ask him to be the person who he was.
Again, she is trying to get into something she is not prepared for...juss because she feels she wants him to be himself...cus she is feeling guilty....and at the same time....she is not ready to accept him for what he is!!!

Hasini,
I will appreciate your comments on my thoughts.
Thanks
