The story took a twisted dark turn at the end, which wasn't something i was expecting and I had to stop and look into the wall, to make sense of what just happened.

Nandini and Guarav are a loving couple. Gaurav’s business is growing and Nandini pursues her interested. Then they adopt Aashi. What happens after that? Interesting story with a twist. Nice narration.

Although it was such a short read or listen, it broke my heart. I wonder what would Nandini's reaction be after she wakes up. Gaurav thinking he would get her Nandini and all her love back to himself, but will he? ever? Not even remotely close! It would've been the same even if they had their own child. Also, it makes us see how love deprived men feel when a member joins their family, no matter his own blood or not! We should not forget about our partner while nurturing and coddling our kid but that partner should also be understanding enough to understand the change their wives are going through. It was such a heartbreaking end.
