Chapter:7

This chapter, like I've said earlier, was like a pause. Even though there were activities going on, the basic feeling of restlessness in Maan and hollowness in Geet overshadowed it all.

In the start, the excitement Maan feels reached out to me and I did have a little bit of hope that things are at least going to begin improving between them with Maan's surprise. I could feel the impatient wait and I could feel the disappointment on not getting much of a reaction from Geet.
I am happy that it was perceived so. 😊 Geet couldn't give a reaction as there was much hurt within to break off it.
In retrospect, the dinner date went great. They had a nice, quiet time, he gave her flowers, gifted her a ring, talked to her a little but a little closer look makes it seem like the opposite of great.
The dinner date was something took me a lot of time to write as I wanted it to be 'Great' yet convey that all is not as it seems.
It won't be exaggeration if I say I was very surprised with Geet's cold response. It's not cold as such but it's detached. From Maan's thoughts and his views about Geet, we have only found her to be a lively person, bubbling with excitement, with a caring nature and who loves to surprise and be surprised. So yes, the detached, aloof Geet, who didn't appreciate the efforts that her very introvert husband took to rectify his mistake was certainly surprising.
I believe each person has different sides and its the way one behaves with them that those sides come forefront. She knows him too well but then now they are in such a stage of their relationship where 'I' became more dominant than 'Us' ... that's why she couldn't react what her basic nature is felt to be...
But if we really think about the Geet we know from Maan's thoughts and the difference between the one we have been witnessing from the beginning, I can say that she isn't someone who'll prefer materialistic things over familial love. She would be happier with Maan's care and attention towards her rather than a very expensive diamond ring...
Yes materialistic things are needed but then they are optional its the person who is more important & worthy.

Chapter:8

So it's all out in the open now.
Yes it is... but not all... 😉
You've introduced me to a new phrase here. 'Seven year itch'. I wasn't aware that such a phrase existed for people who feel detached from their marriage after seven years. I'm curious though. Why seven years? Anyone can feel indifferent at any stage of marriage then why is there a special mention to the seventh year of marriage?
Oh detachment form marriage can occur at any time frame but its just that seven year itch is made more famous by a movie with this name... There's also a phrase called Five year itch... which occurs even before a couple can reach seven years.. Its just a mentality 😊
All of what was bottled up within Geet, the feelings she has been experiencing, trying to suppress and cover, it has all burst out like an eruption. It was meant to be because there is a limit to the amount of pain one can hold within oneself.
There's a reason why it came out now & also why she felt so... or to say started analyzing all this between them. There were hints of it in previous parts which Shika did point out but couldn't guess..
When it comes to relationships, I'm probably not even an amateur to comment on what should be done and what shouldn't. But I am aware that after a certain time, we tend to take people for granted, we let them take us for granted and we don't realise when we fall into a routine which only becomes a habit. The moment we introspect, we realise how much of a change has happened without us taking notice. That has happened with the two of them. They let themselves be driven by routines rather than enjoying every single day of togetherness. They let it all go the way it was going so everything stays just the same and goes without a hitch, day after sluggish day. And that's where the biggest fault lies. At this point, my mind immediately recalled what Geet's father had written in his note, about constant building of a relationship.
I too am writing it all just form what I have observed & from my own view I'm very much alien to marriage bonds as you are.

Bold: That's the crux of all the broken relations not necessarily marriage alone.

Routines are needed then even some changes are needed to set the pace & bring in spice to your life. Geet's father has a much greater role to play... hoping to portray it well in coming parts... 😊
All said and done between the two, I am glad that it's all out and Maan knows what exactly Geet feels about their relationship and where they stand at the moment. She has made him see that he has changed and that will urge him into action to really rectify all that has gone wrong.
Maan needed to know it so that he can act to save it all.
One thing that this chapter made me realise was how much I love the title of the story. It's The Seven Year Hitch and not Itch, so I am very content with it, knowing that this whole falling apart between Maan and Geet is a storm which they shall pass. Together. 😊
That's why I have named it as Hitch 😉
Thanks for writing this story Onir! I'm yet to learn a lot from you and from the writers around me about what brilliant writing is! And I'm really sorry for being so unpunctual in commenting. But just know that I love the story and sooner or later, I'll come around. 🤗
