Awwe Shubhs I'm left feeling shocked after reading that; on one hand I'm thinking why couldn't I have guessed it was like this and on the other hand - there is no way I could have got that. I'm saying this because there were a lot of hints that you had thrown in which I had picked up on (like why did she know he liked wearing cufflinks, her trust for Milind with Rashmi, and whenever I read your updates I always had the feeling that she loves him more than he does her - I think I said this in one of my replies to one of your updates). What threw me was why he was in the picture with her (even though you didn't confirm this, but that's how it looked to most of us), then I think at that point I just lost the plot totally, but at the back of my mind I kept thinking that she must have a past with him.
However having said all of that I never would have thought that she was his secret/invisible lover. Wow that's just an amazing scenario and it makes so much sense and fits the story so well. What is so great about your suspense/mystery narrative is that Prachi's behavior actually made sense in the end, and you just didn't make up any old random story. You are a genius. I loved reading this so so much. I loved the fact that she was deeply in love with him even after her marriage and consummation with Neeve.
Wow the way Milind kissed her passionately straight away after showing her the folder and throwing it aside - that was hot.
I guess I know why you said I will laugh when you finish this FF - is it because all us crazy Milind/Shabir fans may end up like Prachi - another fantasy in a fantasy. So I suppose the motto of your FF is "TRUE LOVE WILL ALWAYS FIND ITS WAY"
Thanks so much for this FF Shubs - it was entertainment at its best.
