Sur I knew the first comment after my return would be for this particular story.hence I took my own sweet time conjuring up a reply fitting to this masterpiece. Indeed it is one, especially the very core plot. I find it close to my heart and somewhere the story tugged at my heart in a way which no other had managed to do till now.

Pooja!!! Yours was one of the most awaited comments on this story! 😳 Especially because I felt apprehensive if you found the piece worthy of the dedication to you n Prishu! But am so glad the story could tug at the emotions in your heart! 🤗

If you shine light on your flaws all your perfects will dim! Precisely the very quote sprung up while I was writing this review. I just love Hoover and her theories and stories. And here I was busy drawing parallels with her, especially when she too has penned a masterpiece on the same subject. If Graham made me fall in love with him for not giving up, your Sameer made me go weak in the knees with his sensitivity.

My dear...you drawing parallels with Hoover for this story- my the thought is enough to fill me with gratitude! Thank you!

BOLD: This is my favorite quote currently! 😃 And the book is on my TBR pile for long! Maybe Someday! 😆

This story had a lot to highlight upon, not only was it about the struggles of a childless couple but also about not giving up on a relationship. The fact that sameer stood rock solid by his love, even trying to camouflage her shortcoming while shinning light upon his non existent flaw took my breath away. The way he guides the conversations regarding the very problem and steers his love in the right direction while giving each other hope made me want to fall in love again with Sameer. The iconic sameeria it seems is plagueing my mind while I pen my thoughts. Naina's struggles, her pain, helplessness, angst and the very incredulity of the situation has been portrayed with astounding finesse by you. I could feel that twinge in my heart especially when I know how it feels when people question you about having a baby and as in what you are waiting for after a few years of marriage. There were a couple of moments which I loved , especially the part where naina's inquisitive nature gets the better of her and she goes scooting to a different doctor for the same set of tests. She is shattered to know the truth yet the love of her husband helps her to stay afloat even while she could feel the water brimming up until her nostrils.

Thank you so much love! Well I guess, Naina wouldn't have rested till she got to the root of the problem, so I felt sooner or later she might devise a way out. Though her concern stemmed from the doubt if the treatment they were being given is proper or not. And when she realized what a huge sacrifice her husband has done for her- that fact gave her strength- if he'd accepted being childless for no fault of his- only for the love of his wife- for her sanity and happiness...she knew she had to stay strong- for him- for them! 😳

The best part would be the realism involved. It never felt like I was reading a fairytale rather a fine work of fiction where fiction meets reality. Where the fine line though not blurred but is omnipresent giving character to each word that is penned.

I know yaar- I didn't want it to be all goody goody. Infact the baby girl at the end was also based on listening to some experiences that sometimes couples after adopting, actually conceive a few years later- probably they cease to fret over it and enjoy life as it comes...showering love and care on their adopted baby! 😳 And I wanted Sameer to have a daughter! 😃

The twist of that earthquake and how they are blessed with a boy made me have tears in my eyes. My heart went out to that little soul who lost his parents only to be transported in the laps of another who up until then were pining for the very moment. The bittersweet melancholy attached with the situation made me wince yet smile.

That was a painful part to depict for me too..but then, life goes on! Am so happy you liked the entire scenario! 😳

Well what can I say, this gesture of yours warms my heart and I really wish and hope when my daughter grows up I make her read the lines written in our honour. I was going through the worst phase in my life and I was grappling with the toughest of scenarios when you wrote this. You have no clue as to how much strength I derived from every message of yours. Of all my friends who were present by my side, I cherished the support of the ones who were omnipresent in the background.

Am not gonna say thank you because dosti mein no sorry no thank you right but that phone conversation was special and your support is cherished.

BLUE: You are like a sister to me now! 😳 The bond we share is something exceptional! I understand the trauma you had to face during the time I posted this- and am so happy that things are fine now- touchwood! ❤️

My gestures gave you strength to stay strong- what bigger compliment can I garner than this?

Of course- sorry and thank you is out of the question! 😳

And I too cherish our first phone call! 😳

Hi Sur Di,

This chapter...my eyes! This story made me cry so much, out of pure sadness and few moments of joy! Your writing pulled the strings of my heart! ❤️ Due to lack of time, this time I am unable to do a detailed review which I am not happy about! The tragedy gave them Nitant which something to be grateful about and then, Prishi! 😳😳

My prayers are with those who suffered too!

Loads of love,

Shreya
