It seems like I'm one of those readers who are the laziest of all...I just completed with the 9 chapter!

Maybe its not really laziness but the kind of depth this story has to offer that keeps on changing every time I read it...there seems to be something that doesn't quite settle down with me...it can be Maan or the strikingly similar Abhinav. I dunno if, readers should think they are alike or not but I as a reader felt that though from the far they look alike the deeper you fall into them, they turn out having an entirely different persona chalking out. Geet on the other hand is drawn to both of them, its like playing with fire..a sort of innocent attempt from her naive heart that has been cocooned and sheltered in the cold society she grew up in.

It's seemingly difficult for me to disintegrate the emotions or the love like feelings that the central character of this story is trying to portraying it all seems blurry...be it her conversation with Maan or her introspection with herself or the subconscious way of dealing stuff i.e dreams..feels like the girl is torn between want and need. If, you ask me then Maan is the need and Abhinav the want but I could be the one whose biasing at such a immediate juncture of the story.

I wouldn't want to voice out my views on the last chapter I read on love coz after reading that my own thoughts are quite disarray..its like if you really gave your heart to someone its hard to take it back unscathed; love reciprocated or unrequited doesn't really matter. At this moment, I don't know what m I expecting from the story but doesn't mean I won't continue!

Hopefully, I'll try to come early next time round and at least read till the 12 chap if not more :)

P.S: Nice choice of Abhinav...Kunal Kapoor but Maan's pic I've a feeling its not doing justice to his persona but you know better, you chalked him out :)

Ah! Ariana...welcome back and buck up Gurl!

Well, I'm intending to obfuscate her feelings at the moment, so you will just have to wait until some more movement in the story to get an idea where all this is heading towards.

Need and want...And when we talk about the matters of the heart, there is such a fine line diving the two - which is not so much the case in the other contexts (economics for example)
If Maan is the Need (if taken to be the one she can't live without, absolutely needs to get past that moment) and if Abhinav is the Want (the one her heart wishes/hopes for the future) then that to me are twin desires that are diametrical in nature. Which again is not uncommon in the matters of the heart...😆 We will leave it to her to reveal it for me on a later day.

Oh! that chapter...You can't expect anything positive from someone who feels she is doomed in love. So ignore...

I will try to work on the banner, tomorrow. Its too late here.

PS Interesting that you notice that they are similar and yet so different...The kind of theme I was going for, but wasn't sure if I had gotten that out with my writing.

@ Mystique: Imagine this...she was in a relationship with a man for two years and also engaged to be married in the last days of their relationship. Wouldn't it be awkward to face her ex-inlaws for the first time after the break up?

@ Jyoti: There sure is some back story, but there isn't a lot either. I'm keeping it simple for now, which being Abhinav and Geet were brought together by their families and were engaged to be married. Abhinav's proposal - Coming entirely due to pressure from both their families. Reasons for the breakup: Quite vague as both seem to have a different understanding of what caused their separation. Geet thinks that Abhinav felt that she was too Indian for him. Abhinav feels she didn't love him wholly.

Abhinav to-date hasn't spoken of their reasons for going separate ways to anyone. He doesn't intend to either. Not even to Geet.

An open confession: The story did a 180 on me. I'm not following my original script as something doesn't seem to fit in with the way the characters have evolved up until this point. I'm at their mercy to lead me - which is bittersweet because they are such a pain in the wrong place for keeping me hooked to them at my work place, filling my head with the most inappropriate of scenes 😆. And for the same reasons, their seduction is so dousing that I'm unable to stay away from indulging in them.
Its such a vicious cycle.
So do I make you folks all feel the same way as they do to me?...that is a whole another story...and I can only pray that my writing doesn't come short of it.

Good Night...its almost morning here...

H, I dont want Kunal kapoor to be Abhinav. I actually like Kunal kapoor... change it please to someone who is not so nice. Or else I will have to do it in my mind. 😆

H, I am at work and am reading your story. Sneaking in when my boss isn't looking... this is what ur stories do to me. If I get fired, blame it on Maan and Geet.

shocking part but loved it

thats quite unexpected twist to the story😲

part 21
OMG Aashi and Maan?
NO...
cont soon...

It wasn't complicated enough that you threw another curve ball in to make things just a tad bit more interesting...I think this chapter is aptly titled. Waiting to see who wins this ballgame.
