Okay.

First of all, why?

And second of all, why?

I don't know how to excuse myself ...my thoughts led me to this open ended conclusion..😆

Why would you stop here? Do you have sadistic tendencies? Do you?

Thoda sociopathic hu, maybe...😆

Coming to your post, it was absolutely overwhelming. I am sorry but I find that I don't have enough adjectives in my vocabulary to appreciate all the amazing talent that you posses as a writer.

I like emoticons for precisely these situations, so here is one that expresses my feelings aptly, since you are yourself an eloquent commenter ..😳

Can I just say that I loved the title? It blends immaculately with the emotions that you were trying to portray. Annika does have miles to go. She needs to go back to the independent woman that she was, she needs to get back the spark of passion of being independent, that belief that love is not above self respect. The Shivaay of it all is completely irrelevant at this point.

Look, here is my reaction, honestly--and it is--HOW? how does she undo these months, this vulnerability, this wearing down of her heart, her walls? In breaking down the Great Wall of Shivaay, she herself is bloodied, bruised, injured. She has lost too much. Even if she goes back, she will never be Anika, again. And how does she go back, can she go back? That for me is the tragedy of the character they have brought out in Anika's avatar. She was basalt rock. In the furnace she has gone through, she is now plain crystal, with so many stress points, she is breaking apart at the smallest blows. This is the girl who life could not defeat-- but love has done it. I am so angry at them--but you know what? This happens. This -- exactly this, happens to women who love the wrong man, who give too much of themselves to the wrong people.

I guess the only problem I have is that she waits to leave until after the six months are over and that she leaves Sahil behind. No matter what opportunities Sahil would get due to the Oberoi NKK, that is one hell of a dysfunctional family. Annika has lived through it. So I don't quite get her decision of leaving Sahil behind. After all, children are the most susceptible to their environment.

My love, here it is. My thesis, my hidden plot point. I'm setting it up in my head, that she's going off to kill herself. Calmly, methodically, sensibly. She has nothing left to fight with. This is what this dysfunctional, cruel, obtuse family has done, what loving a man who is ashamed of the very root and branch and soil of her, has done. This is what loving too selflessly, loving a man who cannot be anything but breathtakingly selfish, has done. She is a husk. She cannot go on, cannot see anything but him, but his needs. And ultimately, his needs triumph her need to breathe, to survive. Triumphs Sahil. So she gives him even that. She gives him everything.

Also, can you please, please not leave us hanging and give us a sequel which might turn into a three shot and then hopefully a SS? Please!!!

I don't know if I have anything more to say but this study, but try karunga.

That was more than perfect! Do consider writing a next part, maybe a leap of three-four years, Annika successfully doing her business and the Oberois trying to find her? That would be great! If possible?

As usual this was amazing, and nothing short of what one would expect from one of the best writers on this forum. But damn girl, Annika killing herself? (99.5 % sure that is what is happening..her will, her letter stashed in her pocket instead of her leaving them here to reach them later, note passive structure of sentence, her lack of need for money and the last line) On what plane of existence is that even a possibility ? :p Also very poignantly heartbreaking this..especially since all is well in the family finally. But I'm even loving this super sad piece of writing since you're back after so long <3

You made me cry! I have this huge lump in my throat, wanting to let out .I don't know how you do it, but this was absolutely beautiful.
