First, I hope you are feeling better. Doctor's advice: Ginger tea, steam, drugs and repeats of Madhubala. 😃
Second, happy wedding anniversary!!!!! 👏
And now, brace yourself for my harsh comments. yes this time the comments are harsh.
I read the story and I am very surprised at you.
You called this "ainvayi"??? Like seriously? Lady, you need help! Maybe it's the after effects of the cough syrup or antibiotics. So I will excuse it this time.
Sigh. I can't keep pretending.
Writing wise it was brilliant. You had me heartbroken for the wrong guy???? How dare you!
I completely fell into your trap you sneak! I was so mad at RK, heartbroken over Madhu's humiliation and just plain shocked. I was tearing RK up in my head. How dare u believe Dips? How could you humiliate Madhu like that?
My (almost) step by step reaction:
And then - WHAT?????
Wait.
Babies name is what?
Assume: Madhu got pregnant with RK's baby and he does not know.
Oh NO!!!! Baby prefers this dad to her real dad, then how will Madhu ever leave hubby and get back with RK.
Wait, who is Mahdu introducing???
Time to go back up and reread. Wait a freakin minute. That was RK that screwed up right? No name, no name, no name.
LIGHTBULB!!!!!!
O.M.G.
Lazy did not just trick me! No way!
end of step by step reaction.
You sneak. You devil. You absolutely brilliant writer!
After I got over the shock (and it took a while! poor dad, I ignored him for a good half hour) ... after I got over the shock I was able to enjoy the rest with a smile on my face.
And I LOVED IT.
I was so happy to see Madhu happy and I loved this RK too! What a person he is! A real gem.
Thought (and a hopeful wish):
Please consider giving us a story on this Madhu and RK. I know you have given us their back story here already but I would love to read a detailed version.
How did RK manage to convince Madhu about his feelings? And really, the crap that Mukund said to Madhu had to leave her with more than a broken heart but also with scars.
Scars. How to trust again? and that nasty comment about her in bed. She had to be scared about that too.
How did RK manage to break through her fears? what was RK thinking at this time too? He had to be heartbroken also.
Just a thought.
Fantastic story. Beautifully written. I felt each emotion (even for the wrong guy. slap on my head! GRRR)
ps. looking forward to "Slow Burn"
