Pixie, kithe gayi?

Me too sleepy. We bay area folks are crashing. I better see you all having posted by morning.

i was so right about dev after the last update...
such a jerk...i mean this is even worse than polygamy...cheating someone to hide your identity
i loved how maan very tactfully played with naini and rishabh situation...

his conversation with geet was incredible...
just perfect...her reaction and words were so real...
very well penned...

thoroughly enjoyed rishabh and naini finally talking ...
really looking forward to a progress in their relationship...

plz continue soon

Okay!

so, i know I haven't commented in a while now and I think the last i commented was on the Blindfold update...so I will go on in an ordered way,trying to cover all the updates!

Four States Updates-

the way you put forth th

Rishabh's attempts to avoid something that is actually far deeply engraved in him than even his own self...Naini's fight with her emotions, feeling angry at having lost herself to him yet again, took my attention away fron even Maaneet in the first one!

The second one however was just for Maan. the way he gave a sense of direction to Rishabh-the subtlety of his confession was mindblowing, and no doubt I was blown away!

In Plain Sight::

Oh My!

Dev such a jerk...cheating someone to hide your own identity ...but I'm Glad he turned out to be a Gay😆

People, a gentle request.

I don't want you guys to make fun about Dev's sexuality. In fact that is not the point at all I want to focus on. What really matters is the fact that Geet's reality is changed in one night. How does a person deal with a trauma like that?

What does it do to their confidence to read people?

What does it do to the their perception of reality? Sense of betrayal?

And this is only the start of the list...

I hope you guys can treat the matter at hand solemnly.

😊 Well this is only a failure as a writer on my part to not have conveyed it with another angle. I will work on it more.

<edit>
Also the fact that closure comes from within is what I was trying to impart with the update. By knowing a few details of the past, does not mean we already have closure. It's only for the reader, because they have answers to the questions which were not explained earlier, but not for the characters...especially Geet.

I must admit that I was little disappointed with this update, the fact that you could have taken Dev's character in any direction thus you decided to go with his sexuality issues. There are more loop holes with this track then the required closures. Have you thought of the turmoil Geet may be going through thinking of all the times she was with Dev, he might be somewhere else with someone else (of the same sex?)... honestly the thought of this situation disgusts me and is more traumatic then just being cheated by another women. I would have accepted a track where you have Geet feel sorry for Dev instead of making me feel sorry for Geet. In short I am unable to understand why you decided to go with this track and thus no closure to Geet.

Welcome back.

I highly doubt I could have taken Dev's character as another rotten case of infidelity. There would be no way to explain the fact that the man did not attempt to seduce his wife to go to bed with him for the entire five years he was with her.
He didn't even try in Geet's words. Let's assume for a minute he is a womanizer, then why didn't he attempt his tricks at the goods at home? And if he is/was emotionally involved with another person (whoever that is) It makes no difference here, because the blow to Geet is all the same. In fact the plot thickens if its a woman and the feeling of low esteem in Geet is a possibility that he preferred another woman in the place of her. But this story is not about Dev at all. But given the placement of his character and his betrayal how does Geet shape up?

I can only say, its not the vile case of a gay man, leading a perfect married life with a woman at home with children and all, but continues to have a same sex partner outside the house. How terrible is that? Glad atleast geet was saved from the add-on trauma of living through that too.

Geet definitely had lot to work on her shoulder. She needs to rebuild her sense of reality. Her sense of closure is within herself, just as Maan said. I can only hope I can deliver it before the end of the story.
Glad you are treating the matter with the solemnity it deserves. You made my day.
