Blurb:
Niharika and Akshat met
via a formal meet but they fell in love with each other on the very next
meeting when they met informally for the first time. Their love grew stronger
with the passage of time and converted into unconditional love which unfortunately
had different meanings for both of the. Akshat loved Niharika and sacrificed
his love for Niharika's happiness but on the other side Niharika made all the
efforts to get her love in her life.
And now that song haunts
each and every part of Niharika whenever she listens to that.
What destiny has in
store for both of them?
Will they have a future together?
Will they keep their promises to be there for each other forever?
What lead Niharika into the trauma center?
What is the role of the famous song ‘Hum tere bin ab reh nai
skte....' in their lives?
Read this heart-breaking tale on unconditional loves and promises
to get all the answers.
My Take:
Niharika, a girl of marriageable age, is constantly nagged
by her parents. They want her to get married. After a lot of emotional
blackmailing, Niharika finally gives in to parents wishes and agrees to meet
Akshat, the boy.
After a lot of chats and phone calls and a subsequent
meeting, Niharika realizes that Akshat is the one for her and she falls in love
with him. Akshat, too, falls in love with her. Both families then spill the
beans of horoscope mismatch. Niharika is broken but Akshat assures her that he
would figure out something. Their relationship continues through the bumpy road
of fights and arguments.
The black day dawns in Niharika’s life. When Akshat breaks
up with her he tells her that they did not have a future because of horoscope
mismatch. He also informs her that he has agreed to marry another girl.
Niharika goes in to depression. You Promised You Will is a story of love and
fighting for your love. It’s a story of fighting back the dark patches of life
and emerging victorious.
Matching horoscopes before going ahead with the marriage is
an age old custom of India. Though developments in science and technology are
tremendous, there still exist many who believe in horoscope match. Many love
stories die an unnatural death due to horoscope issues. How long are we going
to sacrifice our love for these customs? Does Niharika manage to fight against
it and marry Akshat? Is Akshat bold enough to pursue his love?
What did I like about the story?
- Niharika’s try to maintain balance in her relationship
- Niharika’s love for Akshat
The narration style (Niharika narrating her story to Nisha) could
have been done better. I got confused many times, at the beginning of the
chapters. Large paragraphs usually bore the readers. They could have been
divided in to smaller ones.
I rate:
Cover: 3/5
Story: 4/5
Characters: 3.5/5
My overall rating for You Promised You Will is 3.5/5
