Adultery Love Sex And War : Age Of Darkness

[Munda007]

I think by the time Sonarika will come around, Hemant will change too much for her to recognize him. Vikram will make an reentry, someone deep down she is not able to move away from him. I think she will go with Vikram at the end

RCF has addressed many aspects that I do not wish to repeat. 
I agree with most of his views, but my perspective is more nuanced on two points.

° Despite her shortcomings, deceit and sinner (RCF's statement), Sonarika should be given the opportunity to reflect on everything so that she can look more clearly into the future. 
And if she now sets herself the goal of rediscovering her love for her husband and family during this ‘maturing process’, she should be allowed to do so. 
I do not condemn her in advance for past events. 
I believe that everyone deserves a second chance in life, including Sonarika and Hemant.
The author shares this view and paves the way for her, which I very much welcome...

° The other aspect, in my opinion, lies in Sanjana's statement ‘observation’:
*The Problem was never your love life Hemant. The Problem is--you stopped believing in yourself* 
This illustrates that Hemant also ‘unconsciously’ participated in the constellation that led to the current situation.
When I consider this and view it as one of the fundamental reasons for Sonarika's discontent and search for fulfilment in her marriage and partnership, I can understand it to a certain extent.

However, this does not imply that I consider all of her actions to date to be correct!

I welcome the path that the author Harry has taken and am excited to see where he will take us in his next chapters. 
Whether he ultimately brings Sonarika and Hemant back together or sends them on their separate ways with other partners is entirely at his discretion and should not be influenced by us readers.
Ultimately, this will be his decision, which I will agree with and accept...

One fundamental thing that we all should remember and probably not normalize either in this site or in real life is being in a stale marriage doesn't mean you should cheat and its OK to cheat or as if its not a big mistake or the onus of you cheating partially goes to your partner. It is becoming a norm these days that hey my husband was not his best self and he is preoccupied in his career and we do not engage much in intimacy so I look elsewhere but when he is in his best shape he is always my soul mate...that's not how things should work in a marriage nor a relationship.

A relationship should be based on one's true self irrespective of outside appearances or their nature of work. This story shows clearly the factors which led Sonarika to cheat on her husband are very same factors that negate her worth to deserve her husband again. My very problem with Harry's explanation that Sonarika is always possessive, she did not leave her husband despite her affair with Vikram only shows her nature rather than elevate it. She built an alternative world with Vikram which signifies her choices and her choices are not purely lustful due to her lesion in her brain but more about her liking his persona, she liked his nature of kindness. she liked Vikram for who he is and Vikram did not change now, he is still same person, maybe she changed but that is only hormones part, her choices of a personality that she likes should not change despite her condition. When you look at this same way in other lens, you will see she did not like Hemanth when he was Hemanth. That's my main core point that rediscovering herself and her love for her husband would not be enough as her husband will not be her husband anymore.

She should like Hemanth when he was Hemanth, that is my main plot point but that ship has sailed. Like I said, not debating on other's points but my perspective that this plot has a flaw is nothing to do with her sex with Vikram, its everything to do with the idea that both husband and wife has to rediscover themselves to love each other again, if true love exists then whether you rediscover or not you should be able to love each other and at that point in life, Only Hemanth loved her unconditionally PERIOD.

I think by the time Sonarika will come around, Hemant will change too much for her to recognize him. Vikram will make an reentry, someone deep down she is not able to move away from him. I think she will go with Vikram at the end

Exactly my point, Hemanth if changed by her actions then will not remain her Hemanth anymore. One who sticks with the change and for the change will be able to appreciate the change. 

Think about this situation, if this was about money...One who stuck with her husband through thick and thin when he is poor will only be deserving to be able to enjoy his wealth when he becomes rich. Same applies to personality as well.

I don't know if she will go with Vikram or Hemanth but I would like her to be independent of love life and become genuinely strong and good character by the end of the story.

I get your point and it makes sense. Yes Sonarika's relation with Vikram wasn't entirely based on her medical condition, somewhere she did find attraction with him. But at the same time we must also acknowledge that despite that affair , she didn't close her heart or emotions to Hemant. She even confessed she loves both of them at moments , but she never stated she loved Vikram or confessed her love to him. Here is where her complexity is drawn. Yes , she seeked Vikram because he was giving her the thrills and spark that she missed with Hemant. Keep in mind that their marriage wasn't always stale as they had very physical explosions in their early times of marriage. Vikram just happened to fill that void that Hemant left as their marriage went stale. She never said she wasn't satisfied with Hemant , even in his struggling form he managed to give her orgasms. But she definitely missed the Hemant who could do the "fireworks" like he did in their early years of marriage.


But once she discovered her condition , her "desirable man" and the man she craves was all gone , because at that moment she saw Hemant was always her true love because he was her life's real savior as he came in the right time to save her from her descend. The realization also showed her , her own mistakes , the kind of hurt she unkowningly committed on Hemant. And from that moment , her heart and mind only has one man. But at the same time , she also understood the truth that Hemant will never accept her considering the extent of her betrayal. Even now she is suffering but she accepts the fact that she deserves it , because she did betray a man like Hemant who had only loved her and kept her in a high pedestal. Sonarika's journey right now is finding herself being worthy of that love.

The key part is Sonarika's dreams. During the affair days , she saw Vikram as her "Desirable" man. But everytime she confessed her "love" for him in the dream , she immediately sees Hemant dying or being killed by her which traumatises her. But ever since she found out about her illness , she no longer has Vikram in her dreams , no longer craves for that "Desirable" man. She only dreams Hemant and their moments together. Even while visiting Goa  , she reminisced her trip with Hemant to that place long back. Even in the slumber party , Hemant came in her dreams. In many ways , Sonarika has changed because she is slowly connecting to the woman that was meant to be. And her future arc is just that , her ambitions and her liking for plants and greenery forging a Sonarika who values faith , perseverence and resolve. This is her time of growth while accepting her mistakes. She only has love for one man in her life now , but she also accepts that he may never take her back in his life. For now , her focus will always be on Karan , to be the mother he needs.


Sonarika's arc is now all about making peace with her choices and evolve to be the woman she was meant to be. She also has a war of her own with an enemy she hasn't fully recognized yet and win it. Whether she ends up with Hemant or someone else , she will eventually find peace and atone for her sins and live her life!

I do not agree with the concept of ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’ or ‘tit for tat’.
Therefore, it is advisable not to keep all doors and windows closed. 
I consider it appropriate and welcome that the motivation and willingness to analyse and focus on the causes and the processing of what happened as a foundation are evident.
During this phase of processing, the author has focused on the lowest common denominator - namely their deep affection for each other and their child - which serves as a point of reference for both Sonarika and Hemant.

When this phase of processing ends, our main characters, Sonarika and Hemant, will master the situation with composure and a clear mind and look to the future.
They will realise that their affection is strong and enduring. 
However, it remains to be seen whether this will be enough to bring them back together.

Personally, I would welcome it...

I agree, revenge is never an answer and I welcome Hemanth removing pictures from the wall and it shows he outgrew darkness in his heart and once again proved he is noble and different kind but choosing to forgive her or not is not considered revenge, we are specifically discussing what's best for Hemanth and I still stick to my comments, There are better choices for him than Sonarika.

They are as noble as him, as kind and strong as him and especially loyal. He doesn't need some one who chooses him when he is strong and leaves him when he seems like a loser. If story is all about how to get them together again, hence we have arcs individually to make them evolve then so be it. Personally I do not like that choice. I see others as more fit for his good heart and his passionate side.

[DeanWinchester00007]

On paper , you are right. Sonarika has made terrible mistakes. But we don't see her perspective of what happened in Delhi yet. Most of what you see in these recent chapters was Hemant's perspective and his mind making up things regarding them. We still don't know why they met , what was the talk and the close proximity of Meghna. Whatever it is , there is a chance that whatever Hemant is thinking Sonarika is doing , the complete opposite might be happening.

Which is why the final moments in this chapter glides over something intriguing. Sonarika's blank reaction to whatever Hemant claims she is doing. Her wearing blue dress and Hemant glacing over the fact that blue was his favorite color which he didn't acknowledge at that moment. Her calling multiple times on that day and on the music night , hinting that even at that moment she was thinking of him. Here the arc is that Hemant is making up things on half informations and is moving away from Sonarika for his sanity and to be in his best form as he has a war to fight. 

This is the start of his equation with Pranitha where a unique kind of a relationship steps in , where trust is different but faithful and the relationship is built on exotic lifestyle and bond.

As for Sonarika and Hemant reuniting , well , its never going to happen like the past. If they ever reunite , it will be a different Hemant and a different Sonarika , both who have healed from their problems and demons , who have conquered their nightmares and evolved. Their story is not about going back to their usual old normal self. But evolve as individuals and find out whether they have compatibility with each other in their real self.

Okay , I am Apologizing first . 

I love that the Old HARRY IS BACK ! . Back to Back Reply . Awesome .

But , Can you please refrain from giving future development, I mean just cut down a little bit   . You  just gave a spoiler. 

The Ending was perfect , Conversation between Hemant and Sona was solid . 

Of course we know that the next chapter will show Sona's side and her time in Delhi and That will explain her side , But Do not point out the obvious . Now It is obvious that whatever Hemant was thinking is complete false . Stop defending Sona's action in comments , Whatever your intention behind the explanation , It is ruining the next update . Now whatever the little bit tension between them is gone now , It gave an Idea that the next update will show us sona's side and will show How wrong Hemant was . 
I mean let the updates do the clarification , As a reader after reading an update , I would have some questions which will answer by next update . So that is What I am saying . So I have to wait for the update , The Excitement . 

Again I am sorry , But I just felt that Your comments should not contains any spoiler . 




Maybe I am wrong but this what i Felt . 

Your Fan . 

What an update , This update was PEAK 

100/10 .

Will write another Comment about this update . 

Thanks Harry , For this wonderful Update . 

( Comments are for fun , Not the criticism , Not the Suggestion )

[DeanWinchester00007]

I dont know why did you Retract the whole Photograph thing ? That was one of the best shocking moment of the story, I was surprised , It was unexpected and I loved it so much  . It was pointing to the fact that  whoever put the Photo of Sonarika was not Hemant , and Definitely not MICHAEL KING . He was someone Else , I was so hyped up about this development . I dont know if you have read my previous comment , The Synthesis you talked about in previous update , Should be THE ONE , The Unknown , born in the shadow , Masquerading as Hemant well wisher , Luring Hemant into a trap  , So He can take over .

And now that AZRAEL in the Field , THE SYNTHESIS or THE UNKNOWN would have been the Best Weapon , Predator to hunt them Down . Some one So Brutal , Devoid of any Humanity . They knows Michael King , They know Hemant , but Not HIM and so on and on on ............................. But Kher Maybe I just overthink about it and misinterpret the whole thing .

It was TARA reaction when she saw the photograph of SONA and VIKRAM which gave an Idea that she was shocked because She knows Hemant and Michael King , That was something she would never expect from Hemant , at that moment she knew The man on whom she was sent to spy was not MICHAEL KING but some one else , Unknown to Her , Unknown To the World , That is why she will fail on her mission ,because her mission was to spy on Michael King but there was not any Michael King ........... So that is why i am just little disappoint about it . Also taking down the picture shows the mature thing , I hate that Hemant is not going Feral , He is growing day by day , He is too calm . lol .

It is just one of few things I wanted to say , I did not say it earlier because I was hoping that it will lead to something more fascinating in the future , but that act of taking down of photo just ended this possibility , So i thought i should say it .  

[Demeter]

I consider these discussions and diverging interpretations to be an indication that the story has resonated with readers.
However, it would be very desirable if other readers would also participate in order to maintain the momentum and excitement and provide new impetus.
This would also be an additional motivation for the author, who is in the process of creating a story that will inspire many here. 
I am firmly convinced of this.

To pick up on the debates on RCF, I would just like to note the following: We are both very close to each other. 
There is one point where we have different perspectives, but it is only a slight nuance.

Namely, 
when Hemant was in the process of putting down the difficult burden of his past, Sonarika stood by him the whole time. 
She did not leave him alone with it and walk away!
However, he was so preoccupied with himself that he neglected himself and did not notice Sonarika or what was going on with her.
Otherwise, he would have sensed the gradually growing bitterness within her and noticed her search for strong support, which brought her to the brink of despair in these difficult times. 
He had also sensed that her "sister!" Meghana was pressuring her daily – without regard for the consequences and without restraint – to leave him and start over with another "strong!" man who also deserved her.

I do not wish to give the impression that I condone her extramarital relationship with Vikram. I consider this to be an unacceptable step, but one that must be seen as a consequence of her desperation...

It is just one of few things I wanted to say , I did not say it earlier because I was hoping that it will lead to something more fascinating in the future , but that act of taking down of photo just ended this possibility , So i thought i should say it .  

The photograph thing was to show that Hemant has evolved far more than being petty about a heartbreak. In a way it was his acceptance of Sonarika "Moving on" from him and him bringing resolve to himself. He has enemies that are far more dangerous and lethal than a cheating spouse for him to take revenge. Plus Sanjana and Kunal showed him he was not meant to suffer for his heartbreak , that there are women who seeks him in their own way. The photograph scene was to show Hemant was moving on from Sonarika. AND to show Hemant's restraint to NOT loose himself to Michael King. He knows Michael's history and Michael had lost his war , Hemant is fighting this war to win so he cannot afford to loose himself to Michael King and go that dark path. This is Hemant being dangerous and far more calculative than Michael , so his strategy and tactical planning is next level compared to Michael King.


As for the Sonarika thing , I still haven't revealed. Maybe what Hemant believes is false , or maybe Vikram just wooed her back again like before. Or maybe Sonarika simply is warming up to Vikram as she knows Hemant will never accept her back. We still don't know. But her side of the story to be revealed will take time as next chapter too will focus on Hemant. Hemant's arc will continue in the coming chapters until Karan and Anjali returns to him after the vacation. Only after that will Sonarika's side will be revealed. The decision for that is because Sonarika's arc doesn't involve a bigger plot or dynamic action , its a simple story on survival and revenge , so her material is less so her story will only flourish after her Goa adbenture begins.


So don't worry , the teasing is just minimal , there is a lot of twists and turns on the way. Plus more action , BOTH KINDS OF ACTION!!!!   

[Harry Jordan]

I agree, revenge is never an answer and I welcome Hemanth removing pictures from the wall and it shows he outgrew darkness in his heart and once again proved he is noble and different kind but choosing to forgive her or not is not considered revenge, we are specifically discussing what's best for Hemanth and I still stick to my comments, There are better choices for him than Sonarika.

They are as noble as him, as kind and strong as him and especially loyal. He doesn't need some one who chooses him when he is strong and leaves him when he seems like a loser. If story is all about how to get them together again, hence we have arcs individually to make them evolve then so be it. Personally I do not like that choice. I see others as more fit for his good heart and his passionate side. 

~RCF

Agree to your point. This story is not about tit for tat. Hemant is not sleeping with all these women because he wants to one up Sonarika , he is simply doing it for his own sanity and to reconnect to the best version of his past self. But his heart is definitely broken so he now has a hard time to consider a commitment in a relationship , which is why most of his "adventures" with women are flings , except for Tamanna where it is a somewhat "Friends with benefits" relation as both are struggling with commitments. Pranitha is still evolving.

As for Sonarika , I don't believe she was only there with Hemant at his strong and left him when he was weak. She was always there for him through thick and thin. She only had problems expressing her love to him as she acted possessive of him. Not to mention , when Hemant was considering going to the weapons business , it was Sonarika who encouraged him when he revealed it. Sonarika always liked Hemant and his dedication , she just had a problem with Hemant being "too nice" to others where he allowed Sandeep's antics. Even sexually she never stated he is a loser , with Hemant sex was pretty basic , Vikram just happened to bring diverse stuff in sex with her which tempted her. But still she never confessed "Love" to him , even then , Hemant was her love. Sonarika basically confessed that Vikram was purely physical attraction after her sickness reveal because she saw her behavior clearly and showed she was craving the sex.


If there is ever a Hemant Sonarika reunion , it will be organic and in sync to their character development and not some convenience. Regardless their journeys will take them to their destination where they will find their individual contempt and peace. Whether it is together or as individuals , only time will tell!

Agreed Harry. I am not debating your perspective nor Demeter's. 

I totally get it, just not convinced that they share unconditional love to be reunited so leave my perspective to me, that's my take. We all can agree to disagree, not every one will think alike so I respect your story and Demeter's take as well.  

Looking forward for next updates, Individually I love their arcs just not together so there is lot to get excited still in this story and enjoy the content.Give us weekly updates if possible as before then it would be good.

~RCF

[Harry Jordan]

~RCF

I definitely welcome your opinion and can understand your persepective.


I cannot give away much but right now their individual arc is more important to the story because their actual compatibility while being distant is what will be explored. Two individuals who will mature in life and grow in their world and find peace either in their own path or their way back to each other. Either way this is their individual story. Which is Hemant's salvation arc and Sonarika's redemption arc. 


Will try me best for weekend and weekly updates but still not recovered healthwise fully to give full attention. But regardless  , this story is nice therapy for me so will try to always be faithful to its quality.

That is also my wish – and I think that of many others who are following this story.
Of course, your health is important to us and we hope that you will return fully recovered very soon to provide the weekly updates, among other things.

I wish you every success and hope for an update soon, perhaps as early as this weekend.

When can we expect the update!?

[Harry Jordan]

When can we expect the update!?

I am definitely aiming for the weekend. I was planning to post it last Saturday but lack of time and focusing on healing up delayed it. The headache thing is subsiding which helped me focus on the story. Plus another reason for the delay is the following few chapters will have a remarkable amount of sex , like some good amount of sex and celebrity erotica and stuffs. So I need time to edit it , polish it and present it well. My target is definitely this weekend but we'll see.


So for readers , disclaimer , the next few chapters will be a blend of minor action and more erotica so expect that kind of "action"

As I have already explained, I believe that the story is now entering a new era and undergoing significant developments at all levels.
The coming chapter is therefore of immense relevance, as it promises to be a landmark decision in terms of future developments and events. 
I await it with great excitement.

One more note:
* It would be great for the story and for us fans if Harry's weekly updates could be implemented. *
