Utterly lovely Shilpi!!!! WOW! One word is enough to describe the effect it has had on all of us!
Naku and Dutta romancing in Budapest?! Seems to me like a dream! 😍 You always write about the intimate moments with the couple in a very restrained way yet very well presented, must say! Your writing skills are truly to be cherished! I sincerely hope you would publish some of your stories in a book form! Would love to cherish them forever!
When I read your stories the character of Dutta (no matter what profession he is in) just brings to me good memories of MR who personified Dutta! In this story what I liked the best is the fact that this couple is taking "baby steps" to merge their respective worlds into one and blend in beautifully making them PERFECT for each other! Each has his/her own fears, apprehensions about life in general and yet with good communication between them, they are able to understand each other so well! It makes me wonder, if more people were like them then there would have been lesser divorces! I hope and pray that Dutta-Naku don't face this calamity ever! Yes, there has got to be some twists in the story that will make Dutta restore his lost faith in the God! But what that twist could be, I am unable to even visualize!! That is the success of your story! The intrigue factor! It draws all of us to your FFs!
