I dont know if this comment will make any sense now cos I have already read this story once n commented too few months back but not in a proper way as the story was a complete one. Plus I had just started reading FFs then n I was always hesitant of writing down my feelings or thoughts thinking my comment could hurt or offend the writer who take time out of their busy life n write something for us readers. But now since its almost a year to my reading FFs n also when I had decided to read the sequel of this story I thought it would be better if I go n read IOYSM again to get into the flow of wired hearts so that I dont miss anything in the sequel.
And frankly speaking m surprised with my own changed perspective after reading this story the second time now. First time when I had read it I was completely under Maan's spell n so I was only thinking from his POV, his feelings, his love, his pain, his heart break. I was even kinda angry at Geet for breaking his heart n even thought that she indeed led him on. But strangely after the second read I dont think that way anymore may be cos I could now see her POV too n understand her feelings n what she must have gone n felt. I was also out of that Maan spell this time n could read the story without being biased.
From the start of the story I had just fallen for Maan in the first read so much that I had ignored everything else. But now I can see it more clearly n also now I dont blame Geet for whatever happen like before. Or for the way his heart was broken so badly.
Maan had been infatuated for 3 long years, he had also followed her day to day n she had been on his mind for a very long time n yet he wasnt sure of his feelings until he read Geet's mother's letter where she had played that whole marriage prank on Geet. He never even tried a single time to make a move towards her or even start with a casual friendship cos she was the quite girl n he assumed she prefers that way which was true. But he got the opportunity of being her friend cos of the party of which they were asked to do the decoration. Else I even doubt if he had ever made any move towards her? Also not to forget even after being her friend he was on a sacrifice mode to let go of her when he assumed Ayush likes her. He was ready to let his feelings take a back seat n help Ayush. But fortunately for him Ayush was interested in Anaya n then the Geet's mother's letter played as a catalyst for him to know that his feelings for her run much deeper than a mere infatuation. So how can I expect her to feel for him just within 6 months of friendship? If he after being infatuated by her can think to let go of her for his friends then how can I expect her to agree to be in a relationship with him when she had just 2 months ago accepted that she is attracted towards him?
And before the attraction from Geet started, what followed in that small period of 4 months was a beautiful journey of Maan n Geet becoming great friends. So much that even Geet had started to feel for him something but she was in denial in the start. She was so naive n innocent towards his attraction towards herself that it was G who sow the seed in her about Maan's interest in her. Or else she would have always thought that he just sees her as his friend n nothing else. And when she had finally felt that he does feel something for her she never knew how deeper his feelings are. For her she n Maan knew each other only for 4 months then, she wasnt aware of the fact that for him though he is aware of her for 3 long years. And when she accepted her attraction for him it was only 2 months of her stay remaining with her friends n Maan after which she was to leave. So she never let her feelings for him come in forefront. She always just thought about it n later let go. But her being with him n be comfortable with him, show that side of her which she often shows to anyone made him think n assume that she too might be having feelings for him which was true n she even accepted it to him after his confession. But her feelings dint run that deeper like his did. Moreover it was only 2 months that she had accepted her attraction for him to herself and even to Raya. But she knew she was leave n she really cant keep him hanging. Plus if she had led him on somewhere then I would also say he was too late to confess his feelings for her. I mean that girl is to leave the very next day n you come to her n confess your feelings to her n expect that she would immediately agree, that too a girl like Geet how her character was in this story somewhere unfair of his part too. He just dint give her much time to think over his proposal/confession with clear mind n wanted his answers there n then which was slightly impossible for Geet when she knew she has to return to her parents the very next day. He himself gets late in expressing his feelings and then also gets impatient. He was so hurt n busy in his feelings being not reciprocated by her the way he wanted that he just dint give her chance to explain her point. He just assumed she led him on but he failed to understand n see that he was also a bit late in confessing. If he had confessed at least on his date then may be she would also have got the time to ponder over her feelings n not take any decision in haste n break his heart in such a way. He dint left her with much time to think over it n even broke his friendship with her. If she was a bit coward to run from this situation then even he wasnt strong enough to take the rejection or even try to think from her POV. I'm sure if he had given her some time at least n asked her that she can answer him a bit later since she is going tomorrow, think with a clear mind, she might have probably said yes or even if she would have refused later, she would at least have made him understand in a better way rather than him just breaking the beautiful bond of friendship just cos she doesnt reciprocrate his feelings. But the problem was they dint had the time plus both acted on impulse. In her cowardiness/fears she refused him n in his heart break, pain n rejection he dint let her explain n give that time. He was just not ready to listen to anything whereas she kept trying n trying to get into touch with him by calling him n sending sms. So if Geet was wrong then now I believe even Maan was wrong too. But I know that in real none are at fault.
And last time though I had said that the title itself said the end of the story. But even that made me change my perspective over it. She dint saw him cos he was always hiding himself from her. For 3 years he was hiding n silently watching her n observing her and even when she was to leave to her parents he was hiding behind the pillar. So if one chooses to hide n then say "if only you saw me" it would be a bit unfair on his part. After all how would she know that someone is expecting her to see him when he is hiding??
At the end I can only say that I had loved this story in first read, but in second I feel i love this story even more now. You are one great writer and m excited to read the sequel of it.
Hopefully I will soon be able to finish reading wired hearts n comment on it.
