Finally you have updated.it was amazing part. Dev called Geet in the middle of night which wasn't went well with Geet . dev wanted to meet Geet n Geet got ready but still was in dilemma which is solved by maan. Honestly dev's side of story shows how hollow person he is from inside. Their conversation removed some negativity from each other. So dev noticed how Geet was staring maan and guess he is the same person with whom she did one night stand. Waiting for next dear

Hello!!!!

I know. I know. I'd disappeared on you completely. And I have no excuse to give other than that I couldn't digest Dev's way of adultery as it reminded me of something that one of my close relative is going through. The similarities were too uncanny. Especially the fact that he and Meera were caught in Dev-Geet's bedroom. I mean what the heck?! I understand that Dev had fallen out of love with Geet and was head over heels for Meera. But still there is something called humanity and having respect towards your decade old marriage in which you'd conceived a beautiful daughter and brought her up in that same f**king house. As Geet kept on going about Dev's flirting and his occasional glances with Meera, them meeting in Delhi, and last straw being them doing in Dev-Geet's bedroom. It truly made me want to throw up. What they did to Geet is unpardonable. They broke her in so many ways. Gosh! I can't even fathom it. No wonder she went ahead and had that one night stand cos she was obviously not in her senses. Who would be after witnessing your husband f**king your best friend in your bedroom?

I know you said not to judge Dev and Meera as they have their own story to tell. I understand that. Especially when Dev had fallen in love with Meera but I can never forgive that he not only hid it all from Geet but also that he was completely disrespectful towards Geet. And I can also not forgive Meera cos she was Geet's best friend. She had seen Geet-Dev's teenage love and their journey as a married couple till becoming parents. And from Geet's story it looks like Meera had fallen for Dev first or who knows was always in love with him and probably persuaded him seeing that he was without his wife. If my assumptions true that Meera is one disgusting friend as she back stabbed her own best friend. Cos her coming to Darjeeling to stay around them is something can't ignore. Something tells me, she wanted to stay around them.

I know what I'm going to say will make me sound immature or hateful and a petty person but I can't help wish that Dev and Meera have karma bite their ass. A part of me wants to see them suffer. I know it's harsh of me but after witnessing what betrayal does to a person in my own family, I have no sympathy left for them.

I've realized that I don't even care about their part of the story cos it won't make me feel any less sick. No amount of justification can make me accept them or how they dealt with their growing attraction towards each other when there was a child involved. A child who will now have to grow before her age. Cos she will obviously question why she is not staying with her father. And though Geet will avoid giving her the truth now, she will obviously have to tell Muskaan one day. And I'm already dreading that moment.

Anyway. It made me wonder, if Yash hadn't passed away and Geet hadn't stayed with Pari and Meera taking Geet's place in her home and married life, would Dev have still felt drawn towards Meera? Or was there always an attraction btw them? You know that special connection which people don't realise until too late. I know the path my thoughts are going will only hurt Geet more since it will mean Dev never truly loved her. But now I can't help it cos Meera was his friend too. She was someone who was always there with them, btw them. Since the start. And that makes this whole infidelity even more messier and shady.

Also, Geet finally joined the dots in Sameera and Maan's connection and she is in a tricky situation I must say. I understand her reluctance of not sharing with Sam that she is the woman with whom Maan has slept with. Cos this is truly not the time. Sam is vulnerable and she would obviously be more hurt. But I hope that she also isn't too late in sharing that piece of the fact cos it can ruin a good friendship that I see building btw Sam and Geet. Moreover, Geet knows the pain of betrayal done by a friend. I'm sure she wouldn't want to be Meera btw Maan and Sam.

And like her even I think Maan and Sam marriage could have been saved. Mostly cos forgiving each other would have come easily to both of them as both did their fair share of mistakes in this marriage. Although I don't know for how long that would have helped them. Cos somewhere I do feel that probably after a couple of years they would have gone separate ways. And then it would have been bitter and made them hateful towards each other. So in a way, I think they saved themselves a whole lot of pain. But then one never knows. Cos I have heard of stories, where people do give a second chance to their marriage and overcome all hardships and tribulations. And actually do end up having one of the best married life and sets an example even.

About Sam. I really feel sorry for her. She is a good person just made some poor decisions and paid a heavy price for it. And now all she has left is regret. I'm intrigued as to how will she move on and find happiness. Cos she deserves it as she has already gone through consequences and paid a price already.

Amongst Geet, Maan and Sam; I feel Geet has suffered the most and brutal heartbreak. Don't mean to compare, just that it's a fact. As she wasn't even in the wrong. All she did was try to maintain all her relationships, be there for her people in their tough times and wasn't even appreciated for it. So it is sad.

Since, now I'm prepared to read this story again, I will read all the chapters and comment on each one of them. I know one sorry won't suffice, but really I couldn't bring myself to read this story as it reminded me of the case going in my family too much. So I avoided it. But now I'm more prepared. Although my thoughts will be biased and might even sound hypocrite. Just thought to warn you beforehand.

You know I realized how each and every character has gone through heartbreak just in this update. While Geet was betrayed by her husband, father of her child and a best friend, Maan and Sam on other hand were people of probably too many similarities. Both have strong personalities, career oriented, too proud and maybe even a bit egoistic. I can't help but wonder why Maan cheated on Sam? I mean he can't be a saint now. He must have wanted to hurt her in some way at least. To break her heart like she broke his. Not saying it was on the strongest but somewhere I feel that it would have been there in his subconcious mind. One of the reason why he had one night stand. You know a way of getting back to someone who shatter us. And them both being strong headed just explains the say 'opposite attracts' and why mostly those types of relationship last long and forever.

Then there is Brij who simply let go of his love for his family and hasn't yet found someone with whom he can imagine spending his life with. And then there is Pari. Who lost her love and husband to death. At least Geet, Maan, Sam, Brij know that people they once loved are out there somewhere, living, breathing, and eventually will be happy and come in terms with their heartbreak. But Pari? She can't even find that solace in the fact that the person she loved is at least in flesh and blood, safe and sound. So her heartache is different but I guess more intense.

Anyway, I was surprised that Maan could be humorous about Sam and Brij. I mean, that little teasing sounded like, you know, he really wouldn't mind if Sam moves on so easily. I mean of course with time he would want to see Sam happy but his one comment sounded he is ready for that already. Which I didn't expect to be so soon. Guess, he meant when he said, he 'loved' Sam. It meant, he has indeed fallen out of love with her and abortion and his infidelity just acted as catalyst to them getting divorce.

I now think Sam did right by divorcing him. Cos maybe there truly wasn't any hope for them in this marriage. Making Maan stay would have hurt her more. At least now, she truly has a chance at love again.

I liked all the interactions btw all characters here. How Maan knew that Brij was that person with whom Sam would open up. I like the fact that he still cares. That whatever time and memories he had with Sam, he respects them as well he respects Sam. Just says a lot about him as a person.

Then there was Sam and Brij. He made her realize that though it is hurting and breaking her to be separated from Maan, she was selfless enough to let go of him for his happiness. That itself is worth it if not anything else.

This FF is really too realistic and I'm glad I found in myself to get back to it. Cos I was craving to read something good. Something that made me feel, think and talk about all ifs and buts. The complexities of life and relationship is beautifully narrated. And I'm enjoying it.

You gotta be kidding me! Shit! I can't believe what I just read. Are you going to reunite Brij and Tara? I don't know what to think of that for now as Tara is still married. Even though it seems she is not happily married. And though Brij has always been in love and never got married, having Tara fall for him again, screams more complications for now. Not that I would mind having them reconciled but of course it wouldn't be an easy road. And if you are actually thinking of rekindling their love story would be another adultery case? Wow. I know I'm asking too many questions but I can't help it. This new angle gives so many new opportunities but they also complicate things more.

It is funny of us human. Tara wanted Brij to be happy and married and yet the assumption of Geet being his wife made her build walls around her. I like that contradictory of feelings cos I can so relate to it. Many a times I have two thoughts on similar situations which are total opposite.

That is what I love about your characters, Aditi. They're so relatable.

Geet and Maan have met too. So excited to read the next part.

Okay! I'm confused now. What is it that you made Brij and Tara meet again? Why? I won't say it was a closure so that Brij can finally let go. So what was the actual purpose of this meet? Especially when Brij still thinks about her every single morning of his life and has sworn off marriage? Tara is also not exactly happily married. Yes! She has a caring, understanding husband who has accepted her knowing her past, but she doesn't love him. Even after 15 years and a son with him, she still doesn't love him. How sad can that be? Why stay in a loveless marriage? It is fair to him? To Tara? I of course don't want Tara and Brij to be Meera and Dev but I can't help but hope that they be honest with themselves. It's high time. Cos after this no way I can ship Brij with anyone. Cos it would be unfair to that woman as he won't love her the way he loves Tara. I don't want him to ruin another life as Tara seem to have done that by not moving on too.

Gosh! I don't know what I want anymore actually. Cos Tara has a son and I definitely don't want another Muskaan case too. So, I'm conflicted.

Maan asked the obvious question to Geet and she was left contemplating how to answer it. I'm glad she chose to be honest with him at least. With Sam I could understand. But Maan is different. Also they share some spark, a connection. What they had that one night wasn't just physical but on emotional levels too. And both do not regret it. There is also attraction btw them which can't be denied.

But I wonder will all that change with the fact that Geet has a daughter. Will Maan judge her now? Will his opinion on her change?

Guess, they're in for a ride so I'm looking forward to that now. What they talk and how they behave will be interesting.

So I guessed it right. Maan didn't know about Muskaan and I was glad he didn't judge her for hiding the fact that she was a mother.

I liked their interaction. I won't call them strangers. Cos even at first meet they shared about their deepest darkest secrets that they won't be telling others. They instantly connected with each other in ways that it takes lifetime for even some married couple. They have immense respect for each other since the start. Both know they were wrong and yet there is a sense of what they shared being right that they can't truly regret that it happened.

Also, I agree with Maan. Forgiving is not easy. No matter what, it takes lots of strength and courage to let go. And it's been only 6-8 months. Give him some time. He will get around it. Just like Geet will.

Also, I really don't know how Muskaan would react to seeing Maan instead of Dev. A part of me thinks, it's too soon. They're rushing it and this is absolutely wrong way of spilling about divorce to a six year old in the presence of an unknown man. And but another part says, she is a child. She wouldn't even comprehend what a divorce is and what it implicates. Her innocent mind won't catch upon the usual judgemental mindset about the fact that her mother is divorced and has now come to pick her up with another man. A man with whom she already shares a history with. So it should be okay. But once she comes of age and starts thinking back and connect all the dots, won't she be angry? I don't know what type of relationship she shares with Dev. But if she is close to Dev then wouldn't her little heart hate seeing her mother with another man?

Gosh! I'm so loving the way their journey is going. First they had walls build around them. Then they finally broached the subject of their past and had a little heart to heart. Then again they went back in their shells and two plates of momos got them back to having some light hearted chats. No heaviness or emotional ones. But ones we have with our new friends.

What I love the most was that they both aren't playing dumb about the attraction they share. They know it's there as it would have been totally silly if they didn't acknowledge it yet given they're both experienced people. They know what it likes to be attracted to someone, to have that connection, to be in love. They both have experienced it for however long or short period it might have been. But it was there. So I liked there is no typical confusion btw them instead there is acknowledgement and awareness. But they aren't ready for it cos of all the obvious reasons. And I do feel they shouldn't be jumping into another relationship so fast when they are yet to let go of their past ones. It would be unfair to them and the bond they already share. They sure need time else they would just complicate things more. They are insecure, there is apprehension and inhibitions. Their hearts needs to be healed at least in some way for them to take a chance again.

I was glad they talked about it. And let it be. For now Muskaan just needs her mother. And Geet surely doesn't need another relationship so soon when she is on the threshold of being a single mother now.
