*sighs* this Maan is too perfect.

He seems not happy, but relieved that Dev is no longer in her life. He wants to help her become her own person without being defined as Dev's wife, or have a part of him nag away at her brain even during his absence.

I loved the description you used of the sunrise - signifying a new, fresh start in life for Geet. And Maan is right beside her, witnessing the sunrise, being her shadow in her discovery to find herself.

Her fingers nestling into the shape of his hand & Maan notices this & wants to act upon it - is that symbolism for Geet not yet fully realising the deeper connection they share, but Maan is somewhat aware of this?

A beautiful update as always H, NYT never fails to take my breath away.

"the window was closed" I really love this line.. Made me captive.. and think the dept of it.

Meera.. A very very reasonable and justified reaction. She is much more stronger and practical than she seems to be. Geet is very lucky to have a friend like Meera. She never leaves Geet alone on the road..

Geet realize that her relationship with Dev is falling apart, but she preferred not to look into it. She was scared if she came to know the truth.. And now when she knows the truth, she was broken and unable to face it.

Maan sounds like he is pleased with Dev no longer will be in Geet's life. He really wants Geet to have her own identity ..

..."It was the closed window, Meera" Beautiful line. That was the only explanation she found fitting. It's a way of saying that, the phase of her life she shared with Dev is forever closed now. A closed window was all that was required for her to come in contact with reality, of the kind of relation she was trying to save – one that had already lost all its life.

I liked the way you showed she trusts Maan unknowingly with her life, as she herself was surprised with the ease at which she was sharing such things with him. This must be because of the way he was never been judgemental towards her, but has always stood by her.

She indeed was in denial to see the truth of her marriage that was so staring at her face. I feel Dev did something, that deep down she too wanted to do, only that she was very shackled in herself to take the decision. She had made a make belief world around her, through her letters to her family & her own thoughts ' more of an illusionary one, in which everything would finally turn out to such that she will have an ideal happy marriage. She was building hope, but not striving to save it, as I think she had unconsciously accepted it, but couldn't face it in reality

I would say she was only trying create that illusion for her parents. To her credit, I don't know if she has done anything to save their marriage either. But yes, I agree to your point when you say "Dev did something, that deep down she too wanted to do, only that she was very shackled in herself to take the decision"

Here Geet looks little bit mature that she atleast knows some reasons for her actions.
