Congratulations on 200 followers, Nitesh !
Now that that’s out of the way, lets have some real talk 🙂
This story was just mind blowing Nitesh, like literally somehow the conflict just ripped me into pieces but then at the same time it made me satisfied in a weird way.
I felt like there was a constant tug of war between Radhika and Sandhiya, I couldn’t decide who was right but maybe that is how it is, they were both right in their own twisted manner. ( But somewhere in between I got a little biased and secretly sided with Sandhiya 🙂 )
You carried it all so well, the way you have portrayed the pain, the helplessness Atul faces is just beautiful. Even in its need to be dark and hopeless, the pain feels so intimately linked with an intrinsic brightness, an emerging light.
Okay before I turn your comments section into a hundred word long essay, I’d like to say all in all, this story was stunning master piece! 🙂 🙂 🙂

As always, Bisma, thanks. But right now I lack my words. I feel too conflicted right now. 🙂
Give me until tomorrow, I’ll definitely write a more satisfying response to your comment. I promise.

Your welcome, Nitesh 🙂
As always you don’t need to find a more satisfying response, a simple thankyou is sufficient for me 🙂 🙂

Well, I loved every bit of it, there is only an issue of tenses, and even that seemed non existent because the emotions your words invoke overwhelmed it all. 🙂

Yeah. Tenses, even I know.
Well it was complicated writing one chapter everyday. Never had the time to go back. Well I’ll definitely be working on them in the second draft. 🙂

Yes, a good ending and I did see the question mark….hmmm, possibly another chapter looming telling about his success? R is very understanding, too much so for me, but maybe she has other interests also? I’m not blaming anyone. I feel it is possible to love more than one person. I’ve done it. Not at the same time however.

I like a good story, but to me it’s the main character that’s most important. I felt this was autobiographical so even more intriguing.

Any suggestions for when I do the revision (Other than tenses)? 🙂

Tenses are a pain when you’re trying to write some thing. I have problems with it. Someone wrote that writing in the first person is more likable. So I try to do that. I’m no judge about things like that. I just ignore all that detsil! : ))

That’s why my stories are short and what you said, to the point. Once in a blue moon I’ll go as long as thousand words because I get carried away. Then I find out I needed to stop at 800!! So I just go for the flash. I like trying the challenges and try not to get too serious.

It’s the story you’re telling, it is dramatic, with a serious subject, so yes.

Nice ending, yes I like the question mark, thoroughly enjoyed the 30 day trip, that was a lot of work, you should feel really good about it, not everything but bits and pieces really hit home as I’m sure it did for all the readers

I really thought you did a great job tying everything together by going from chapter to chapter, nobody’s story got lost as everything was weaved together, I didn’t feel like there were any tangents that never got tyed back in

Thanks a lot. Four of you, you’ve been quite supportive, I don’t why. But I want you to know that I feel true gratitude for your responses, your comments, your constant reminder that you were waiting for the next part. I couldn’t have done it without any of you, I’m a bit emotional and dramatic right now, I know. But taking challenges is one thing and finishing them is another. Every single one of you ensured that I stick to the task and not quit. Thank you.
