INDEX to the story is here
Please read all updates above before the note below.
Hello my darlings,
How are you doing? Well this is a big epic isn't it?
I for one feel I have done justice to the growth of every single character in this FF. Yes they are all not perfect. They don't follow the book. It is not candy floss at all. But they all have a set path where they can move forward and become better individuals.
For folks who are angry with Maan for having 'tainted' Maaneet relationship, I for one completely disagree. I don't believe life is about romance. It is about understanding each others needs as a pair. And reacting to circumstances. Maan slept with his wife in less than ideal circumstances because that is what he felt she needed. And she did not stop him now did she? Different couples have different ways of making up. It is a way of life. So let us all agree to disagree here like good children, shall we ? 😆
For people who think the romantic element was lacking in this story, well it is but a given that a man building a company does not have time to be romantic. A man who is under pressure every single second makes mistakes, huge ones. Especially when there is no support coming from any direction. That is something I have watched happen with my own eyes. Sorry I did not want to portray something out of the ordinary in this FF.
For folks who think that Maan-Geet relationship was tested too much and there was a lot of misunderstanding, well it happens to couples who have known each other for years. No marriage or relationship is idealistic. So for Geet to grow as a character from her blind puppy like love I felt this kind of dilemma/MU was essential.
I do have ideas on how this story can be continued. There are many tracks that are possible after this. But I believe in quitting on a high. This is something I have learnt from the CVs who have managed to ruin several successful shows by stretching them like a rubber band 😆. If this 'not stretching' boat has already sailed, please forgive me.
So I leave this thread now open to everyone for any questions you might have. If people have too many of them I might come up with one last update or epilogue to provide clarifications. Else it is "The end" to this epic drama from my end.
Feel free to post your thoughts on the characters, story, author, the ways the author can improve. I would love to read all your views on this. Kindly note the above views are just my views. Please let me know if anyone disagrees with it as well.
Thanking you with bucket loads of love !!
Sheesh
P.S. Don't throw joothis and chappals. I am not a building architect. I am not a lawyer. I am not a litterateur(ya right, like anyone thinks I am one 😆).
Well you guessed it, I am a software programmer. 🤣
So anything else I have mentioned about other professions have been researched to the best of my ability. Kindly do NOT overlook any mistakes but point them out.
Disclaimer: This story might sound realistic here and there but it is completely a figment of my imagination. Any resemblance to any living being is completely coincidental and unintentional.
So adios amigos.
~EDIT :
Ok folks are getting angry and upset with me. I want you to know that I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for reading this FF and appreciating it and criticizing it. I cannot express in words how much I love you all.
For folks who are angry please look at it once from my point of view. I have been writing the same story for a year now almost everyday.
And the love story between Maaneet has ended. If I continue this now, it will just be about other characters and loose its essence/focus !! Do we want that?
I know it is not your usual ending with Maaneet holding a baby in their hands. But if I continue it will just become like a fake documentary on a couple's life.
I will come up with a last update when I can gather myself. I hope everyone understands...
EDIT 2 ~
Ok I am sorry that I did not inform people earlier than this that I was going to end this story 🤢. I guess that is the reason for the heart attack. This is the first FF I am writing. So I do not know the right etiquette. I always wanted to end this FF as a continuum. There are no 'happily ever afters' in life right? The original story I had planned was to have Dev as CEO and Maaneet as his employees. I just wanted to clarify all questions people might have before ending it.
EDIT 3 ~
Ok I am adding edits after edits to this note. But it is only because I am feeling torn apart about this. So I am attaching here every reply I am giving to a concerned reader.
There are many different ways for it to go. But it will become like a saga and tele-serial. It will become bland. And when you keep attaching stories after stories to the original, somewhere every character will loose its essence. I will try to come up with one update which is predictable and what everyone wants. 😃. I hate to leave so many faithful readers disappointed. Feel bad, 😭 cuz I love you all so much.
But I am trying to live my life and am totally exhausted. I have been living in the Maaneet world since this started. Now I have to come out of it.
EDIT 4 ~
OK this must be a record of sorts on the number of times a post has been edited(except may be the index). This is not a discontinuation of the story. This is the end as I have planned all along. I only meant continuing the story in terms of other characters. As this is not the end that FF readers are not normally used to.
