What a beautiful ending - Life comes to a full circle with added maturity, belief, realisation, faith, trust and acceptance - cementing that bond of love forever!
The way you have brought about shortcomings (imperfections) in each of them, making them realise, accept and seek forgiveness - either through reflective perceptions or making analogies of past and current events(in their mind) -so seamless and amazingly insightful - something one can only expect from professional writers- I do hope someday you will give this a chance
The last part very much brought out in open what each of them was bottling within over a long period - Sona's accident very much took the lid off from their panted emotions! Each of them under that roof were living with their own version of guilt transcending the boundary of time, slowly but surely recognising the pain, brought about by their selfish act -unintentional, perhaps but avoidable in the relationships where communication should and must have been one of the main pillar!!
I think Arch mentioned this in her review but I will like to reiterate, that you have amazing knack of depicting a scene, sometimes you don't need words to convey a feeling-it is so difficult to bring this about when writing a story - it gets easier when it's getting translated in a visual media be it stage or tv or movie - but the way you have managed this throughout the story deserves a big standing ovation-hats off to you, my favourite from this chapter is
"She cried then, but not for herself. Not even for their baby. She cried for him, for what he had been denied. He didn't get a chance to feel a father's love neither did he get the blessing of being a father."
This is where she finally acknowledged, his pain, his sufferings, her guilt, her unfairness - making him pay for each and every rebuke of his mother without giving him chance to rectify, expecting him to be aware of her side of story- cry of anguish, washing away year's worth of misgivings, uncertainties, issues and complains! Beautifully done Malvika!
I am sorry for the delayed response - I have had a crazy day workwise and of course I will love to read epilogue and next story as well -please don't keep us waiting for too long!!🤗🤗
