Plot Summary

It is a beautiful love story that spotlights the exact picturesque of Love  and its terms with which it begins ''CONFESSION''. A very few of us really dare to confess feelings to one we love. Usually you wait for her and she waits for you to confess. In this way, you're left with a regret when you finally lose him/her for forever. Sigh*

Sankalp has masterfully portrait the consequences from worse to worst that could happen and set your lives igniting, struggling to get him/her back... But! you can't really go and tell.
The story revolves around Aarav and Tiya. When they first met they were just twelve and fallen in love. They kept on meeting. Whenever Aarav and Tiya came closer to each other and felt the moment is right to express they got separated because of family problems, career and other priorities. But the things is, time never separated them completely. Each time their suppressed feelings aroused for each other as many times they met and that's the reason both Aarav and Tiya couldn't move to someone else in life. Both of them knew it better that they are destined to be together and their happiness resides in each other... But ''HESITATION', ''FEAR OF LOOSING'', ''REJECTION'', ''SEPARATION'' resists them to speak their hearts. 

My Views

Those who believe in Love and those who haven't confess their feelings yet must read this wonderful novel because after that you'll do. Cover page is attractive enough to grab one's attention. The writer has brilliantly explored the conflicts going on in heart and mind of Aarav and Tiya simultaneously. It's tough yet he did it with perfection. There are beautiful poetry before the each chapter starts that simply touches your heart and motivating quotations. While reading it I found myself so connected with it that I weep and smiled with its characters, that's what we find in a book. The story is, a little bit slow yet the suspense till the end ''Did their time to fall in love come or like always, they met, greeted and departed to part forever?'' makes the reader to be glued with it till the end.
