Daya was immersed in her thoughts, “Oh! Hridai
Please come. I need you now, more than ever. I love
you so much and I know you love me. This is our last
chance. I have not seen you for so long. I pray that you

come back now or both our lives will be doomed, as for
my family, I will have no option, but to marry Raja.”

Reviews
This book doesn’t preach—it provokes reflection. Through a series of powerful narratives and sharp observations, the author dives deep into the moral dilemmas, emotional struggles, and value shifts that define adulthood. It’s honest, raw, and incredibly relatable, especially for readers navigating the complexities of modern life. What makes it truly impactful is its balance—it questions societal norms without dismissing tradition, and it celebrates individuality while encouraging accountability.
A heartfelt story of a selfless woman’s struggle & sacrifice in life. A must read
