I must say this story has again a very different storyline that all ur other ones... I really admire ur creativity..

I was off for a long holiday and came back on Sunday. I read all the chapters I had missed and believe me, I had a very tranquil feeling. If I had been reading a chapter at a time, I would have bashed up certain characters or been too involved in small things, but reading a significant part of the whole story was really soothing.

I appreciate ur efforts in picking up this topic and handling this well without delving too much into gory details. Still, knowing about a repeated gang rape event is very sad... my heart goes out to Geet and to many others who have faced similar situations... I wont judge her character post this event since the fact that she picked up her life alone and was brave enough to have a successful career and a child shows a strength of character even ordinary woman dont have...And Maan's transformation has been a story in itself. I love the strength in his character too - not many ppl have the guts to listen to their hearts irrespective of any circumstances..

I repeat, loved the flow of your story... Hats off 😃

I am sorry but I disagree with your characterisation of Geet in this FF.

Have you ever try to find out what it would like being raped. What difficulties rape victims have faced and their mental trauma? I wish you have done at least little bit research about this. It is very difficult for rape victim to trust anyone with their feelings, to be intimate with men. And when you know who is responsible for your condition than you definitely would be scared to trust anyone forget about being intimate with any men.

Geet was gang raped by men for days and night. She definitely will not go near any men after this. I mean who wants to live that horrible moment again and again. She herself said in part 28 that she was afraid to open up, to trust anyone.

On the one hand you have shown Geet with good education, good values, strong personality, self respecting, as fighter and above all she is from the family who give more importance to their reputation. She definitely would not have done this even though her family disowned just for the sake of their family reputation. If she can accept her family's decision for her marriage then definitely she is the woman of strong values and respects her family. She also has proved that what family means to her by asking Maan to get blessing from his family. I wish you could have shown her same as Geet of GHSP. Then your story would be like reality.

To GB specially, I am not commenting to make you upset. When a writer writes, readers do make either positive or negative comments about story. I know and believe that you are very good writer and I did read all of your FFs again and again as they are very good (DM & D&M are my favourite) same as this one. So please do not get upset. If you wish you can ignore my comments.

Lastly, to all those readers who are saying that they do not have problem with women sleeping round with men. To get successful in the male dominated world this is necessary; would they go around sleeping with men just to fulfil their physical needs, to get successful in life? I am sure most of the readers do not practice what they preach.
