There is a huge difference of thoughts on your Milind between you and me Opti. I have not seen any man act so magnanimously as to accept another's love child as his without actual knowledge of the biological father or the circumstances that led to the union. You say it was love does he know it was love. You say your Milind is happy with remaining in the dark i find it hard to believe no rational man would be able to do that. So now I think i'll stop investing my emotions in the story and read it as any other story since I do not accept your portrayal of Milind as normal. It is beyond human nature to be this way especially a man. I say so because I personally know a few people who did this sort of thing no.... not one husband accepted the wife the ones who were unmarried now curse the day they slept with their so called lovers.
I do not know all the men in the world to pass such a blanket statement about how they will behave. As I said the seed of the story is taken from a tamil serial. The essence was this, that the guy saves a girl from suicide attempt and accepts her love child as his own and loves the woman unconditionally. I do not remember the details of the rest of the story. This could happen in reality, it may not. It is not totally impossible. Ofcourse it is not an everyday affair and yes as you said men are more unforgiving than women when it comes to matters relating to s** but there could always be some excetional men. My Milind is one such character. And yes he is not normal but exceptional.
Anyway I am writing a work of fiction and not someone's life history.
