This brought back horrifying memories of being lost in rural Mexico and not knowing Spanish. At that time, I cursed myself for taking French in school instead of Spanish like all of my friends. I also wished that I had paid more attention to those Dora the Explorer episodes that I had been forced to watch when babysitting. 😆

I've been lost in plenty of other places before (where I've known the language) since I'm terrible with directions and navigation in general, but it's an entirely different and haunting experience when you can't communicate even a little bit. You portrayed that perfectly in this chapter. It's like I could say ditto ditto ditto to almost everything that happened. Praying for a miracle to get out of the situation safely and quickly, using hand gestures to attempt to communicate, using broken English and spewing out words in hope that someone understands at least one thing, etc...ditto to it all! The only thing that didn't happen to me was the rain...poor II; rain just makes everything 100 times worse when you're in a stressful situation like this.

I don't know what you have planned for the resolution to this situation (I am assuming she will eventually make it home safe whether it's on her own or R&B somehow finding her with the help of the police), but I want to see II get one major thing out of the entire experience...that R&B truly loves and cares for her (even if it's just a small inkling of a realization). I want her to see how worried he was for her and clear away a little bit of her insecurity regarding his seriousness towards this relationship and marriage. I hope you will show that.

One question: did she not see the phone he left behind in the apartment for her or did she purposely not take it when she was leaving and has forgotten about it now in the spur of the moment?

PS: I also left a comment for you on page 66...hope you take a look. 😊

One of your readers , a very good friend of mine who was holidaying in the east coast, paid me a visit nearly 2 wks bk and got me hooked to this amazing story . "Trust me,will be worth it" is what she said. I am in complete agreement,lady!! To be an iyer and not read this story is like being a Hindu and not go to a temple , or to be a Christian and not go to the church or to be a Muslim and not go to the mosque or to be a Sikh and not visit the gurdwara. Atheists ! Please do not draw your knives out. It's just an innuendo.Having quit my job a month bk, I am vela now with plenty of time in hand, which I am getting used to. This story has become my holy Gita/Granth/Bible and Quaran of sorts . I have never felt this religious in my life. I am absolutely shameless to admit that I hv done nothing but read this story in the last 11 days/nights Crazy!!forgive my math, I could be wrong here ,there are on an average 20- 22 chapters on each thread, breathtakingly consistent in humor, intelligence, drama and emotions.
The connect is real. I have been randomly reading the comments and reviews as well. I felt cagey , immensely restless to devour the chapters like how children do in school to finish 40 odd books in a year to win the lucky draw coupons. It's only that I hv been literally breathing this for the past 11 days to catch up with the current thread. There's enough and more for every reader to feel that it's their story or if not their story in entirety, it's atleast a few pages that have been torn out from their book of life and pasted here. It's tangibly life and soul . A fiction amazingly well told,vivid,descriptive yet subtle. I couldn't let this go without giving its due credit, created my IF account and here is my first post .
In the last chapter, Fear and Misery, the relief which R&B feels on finding that II's belongings are intact and so she hasn't left him is tellingly poignant of the extent he is invested in this marriage. I got a glimpse of his sensitivity but our lady in question here,who needs to be shown that glimpse is wandering lost!! Ayyo pochu , she is going to be pappadom doomed!!
Me thinks he is not going to move an inch from his apartment, will not voice out his anxieties,work out of home not wanting to take a chance with her idiosyncratic pmsing behaviour, give her the silent treatment ,shut her out and come Tuesday or Wednesday, pour himself buckets into her. Misery complete!!

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING NOTE!😳 Thanks EM... THANK YOU
The praise is unimaginably generous

I dont know what to say... I spend most of my free time writing up the next chapter, I am terrible at responding to people. TERRIBLE
When I have a slow day at work or I want to kick of a juicy discussion I make 10s of posts otherwise...There is a bunch of over 60+ who consider this their watering hole, various walks of life, all with ONE thing in common, Desi romance

I am THRILLED to be part of this adventure for you all
I meet that with complete total sincerity.😃

THANKS VERY MUCH AGAIN!!

I dont think I'll be able to comment until I read an update after both have met n spent a sane day in their life. I dont have any funny, witty, emotional or even logical comments to make at this moment... I am going to wait until that sane day in this story before I comment after this.

THANK YOU ALL FOR READING
I was quite bummed this morning. Your support makes it worth my while to spend every waking hour (outside of my job, family, cooking, kids & their activities)writing this tale

P.S. If u all noticed, I didnt say cleaning... it was because I dont do it any more. A love story written in a pig sty turns out so much better

Cliffhanger yet again!! We have been in misery since morning, this update did not help
I am more miserable thinking about II. I am sure RnB will hug her then get super mad at her. I am seriously worried for her.
PS: I am getting an anxiety attack here. 😕 I am not able to focus and I am making dosa. My dosa is looking like a map of Paris now 🥱
