Love Does Cost Sometimes

Book excerpt: The story starts with the wedding of Girish and Priyanka at Mr. Guha’s residence in Bhubaneswar. Everyone is elated at his wedding except him. Girish’s reservations on his wedding night give his newly bride Priyanka a hint of the same. A year is passed but the marriage does not culminate to be an ideal one and Girish, despite of being a husband terribly fails to cater to Priyanka’s desire. A day after their marriage anniversary, Alka convinces Priyanka to invade his music room (restricted section) and find a diary. This makes the sister duo sail across the past of Girish’s college days back in 2008 in Dehradun, come to know about Girish’s affair with Sakshi. An untoward incident took place on his birthday leaving him shattered with Sakshi’s indecent conduct towards him. They therefore set themselves to confront Sakshi of her behavior without Girish’s knowledge. But, the present day Sakshi is not how Girish had described in his diary, with her own share of distress and misery of fortune, which she does divulge, when the two exes come vis-à-vis. How Girish, after coming to terms with Sakshi’s misfortune and the actual reason behind that incident, help Sakshi fight her battle of crisis, Priyanka’s insecurity even though, everything was due to her undeterred behest and Girish discovering his love for Priyanka constitute the story. The married couple unites but Girish is again stricken hard with a loss, making him realize that Love does cost sometimes…..A secret again unfolds at the climax.
