i just came across this story now
im a few days late as in , i was not following from the time when you were writing it so i read it altogether. and even if i had read it part by part, i would not have actually asked about Geet losing her memory because i can sure understand what does it mean to close your mind and let truth take a back seat in your mind because the hurt is too big to take for at least some time.
this is one of the most amazing and intense works i have read in such a long time. i got teary eyed, too absorbed in reading that when it finally ended, i came back to my actual surroundings with a shock. i felt such a heart wrenching physical fear and pain reading through the parts when Maan was trying to make Geet change her decision but she was adamant.
you wrote it so brilliantly so beautifully. with no amount of unnecessary addition of any emtoion- you showed love exactly how much it was supposed to be shown. hurt how much exactly it was by the requirement of this story. how much longing and pain both went through without each other. and honestly im so glad that you did not just make it a teeny romance where the hero succeeds in luring back the heroine just at the name of a few steamy kisses and a passionate lovemaking session. because life is bigger than that- sins, mistakes, regrets, sorrows, all of them should be really dealt with in the exact way they are supposed to be handled.
Maan was at fault when he blindly believed his parents drama and lies, and Geet, the poor soul who literally lost her ability to think rationally and coherently because her mind simply told her to shut down everything and feel no pain- this is called being numb.. when the pain is too much to take and one never forgets it, maybe not even for a single waking moment or even in their subconscious mind , but they force it to take a backseat in their mind. this is not cowardice . this is just one way of self defense and it comes involuntarily- it is not selfishness. it just happens.
there are certain mistakes one certainly can never "undo" even if they repent to the extreme and even if they ask for forgiveness in the most sincere and humble way. this mistake of Maan was really one of this kind where , i think, he really suffered the exact way he should have suffered. he did not intentionally kill his child but he was the indirect cause of it and in order to make him realize his mistake, and in order to make him realize how important was Geet and her love in his life, he sure went through the deserved pain- i know i sound harsh but i weigh it rationally rather than immediately jumping to the emotional side and thinking of a happy reunion. because if it has been quicker, it could not have been so strong. so true and so pure. if Geet had hurried back to him, it would have been shallow, and her fears could have materialized.
you know i was so fearful before proceeding from the part when Geet's marriage ceremony with vicky was taking place i was so scared , what if Maan actually dies, i went through page by page people commenting and anticipating that Maan probably wont kill himself but his heart will refuse to beat any longer without his love by his side. but to the relief , they reunited finally. when both of them had literally understood how very damn important they both were to eachother.
this was so epic i will not forget this story for a long, long time to come. perhaps never
im sorry for not reading your works earlier, i came by just now and im so thrilled to read more works by you if they still happen to be here. im looking forward to your future write ups too.
thumbs up and a huge hearty 10 on 10 from me on this one 👏
