Dear Geet,
Before I begin I must say you look absolutely stunning in white....pure and flawless as a pearl. This is my second letter to you and here are few thoughts that I am forced to write to you after seeing your efforts to save your relationship. You and Maan are at the onset of a beautiful relationship and I hope it will remain beautiful and rock solid.
A solid relationship has to be worked at. Difficult time that you both faced was the proving ground for the consistency of your feelings for each other. The success of any relationship depends on the standard of the love with which to work out things. Love and trust is the principle of any relationship. Earlier your world revolved around your miseries and your pain. You liked the attention and things Maan did for you without asking much from you. But now you have learnt to give him what he deserves without him demanding anything ' to make your world revolved around him ' the epicenter of your life. Maan on the other hand, realized not to take things for granted. To fall in love is simple but to keep on loving is an effortful journey. A conscious effort has to be put in to keep the consistency in a relationship especially when one partner is trying to recover from the past bruises.
Geet! You have always been defensive...protecting yourself from getting hurt again. You trusted him in your heart but at the same time your mind always kept you on the guard. You dedicated your love but never submitted yourself like he did. I understand that your pain is bigger than Maan's in terms that not only you were physically violated but your ability to trust and love was also snatched away. You were betrayed by not only Dev and NT but by your own family members. At such a time Maan was the saviour who restored you back into life. What Maan received in return was your undying spirit to live life to its fullest. You both had received invaluable gifts from each other. Maan a man of confidence and principles passed his qualities to you and you a girl who has the ability to smile at the storm passed on your vivaciousness and freshness to his darkened life.
You both realized that you are destined to be with each other but destiny is not a chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. Maan always wanted to achieve you as his destiny even after you left him to satisfy your defensive attitude and your doubting mind. ....but now you have also learned to put your doubting mind at rest and listen to your heart. You sincerely apologized for what you did to him and genuinely appreciated what he did to protect you.
When you embraced Maan it showed your willingness and eagerness to embraced life with a new understanding and a more positive attitude. But little you knew that the pillar of your strength is shattering beneath his guilt. Remember I wrote to you in my first letter that if you will ask Maan for love....He will give you his life and if you will ask for forgiveness.... he will fall at your feet to save you from embarrassment. See how he lowered himself just to put you on a higher ground! How he destroyed his self respect his self esteem just to boast your confidence and esteem! He will wither himself to keep you intact. This is love and sacrifice which goes hand in hand to build a relationship. Maan is a great man who is always willing to be little for your sake. And then he came up with most words that we all have been dreading from past so many months. How Maan would face the fact that his own brother and sis in law has ruined the life of the woman he love! The cruel fact was as devastating for him as it was for you when your own brother tied to kill you. In spite having a family he is also all alone. He has always been asked to prove his love and concern by his daadima and his brothers. Life has been very demanding to this man also. And then he found you as his love, he thought that he will not be asked to prove his love for you...at least you will not demand to prove his worth for you...He started claiming you as his own. But that unfortunate incident left him bruised and shattered. His confidence and self- esteem was snatched away. Now he is just a remorseful man withering under the guilt that he has not committed. He thought that he is not worthy of you. Maan has always wished 'the best' for you. He was that 'the best ' the epitome of love and trust, so he submitted himself to you. But now he does not think of himself the same...so he wanted you to leave him and have someone 'the best'.
Maan was breaking but I am so glad that you did not let him shatter. You upheld him the way he has always done. You have realized his pain and agony, his helplessness and his weaknesses. And you have realized that you both are at the same level....both been betrayed by your loved ones. You both only fulfill each other's emptiness. I salute to your persistence this time...your eagerness to control the reins of destiny. You knew Dev and NT were right there to affect your relationship. Everyday you would be facing your violators. Nothing has changed but the new found strength of your love has given a whole new perspective to the same abhorrent circumstance. I loved the hidden conversation in the conference room. You took the rudder in your hand and sailed in adverse waters. They say the first and best victory is to conquer oneself...and you have let your heart win over your doubting mind. Loved the way you conveyed your decision to him without putting him in any embarrassing situation. You proved chose every word very carefully to tell him that he your world. Maan was loosing all his hope but you did no let him go back into darkness. You strengthened Maan's esteem and rebuilt his confidence in love. You made him whole again. And after ages his eyes smiled....no actually laughed. The satisfaction and the sparkle of your eyes transcends into his eyes yesterday. My heart was elated to see the purity of love in two most beautiful pair of eyes. True love is the dream of both of you so stay awake to make the most amazing dream come true.
with luv

A special note: This will definitely make you happy Geet...my 5yrs. old daughter said to me, " Mom U know what I feel bad about this story...yeh boy hamesha is girl ko hamesha dantata rahata hai...kya kabhi boss bhi aise hote hai...He keeps following her aur phir bhi dantata rahata hai." And I just couldn't help laughing. Their world is so innocent, pure and straight...no complexities at all. I wish we adults could also keep our relationships straight without complicating every situation.
