Thank you for your valuable feedback. I am glad you liked the story. It is understandable that you feel it is shifting away from its core plot; other readers also expressed a similar concern in my inbox before my last post, asking me not to have Sandhya carry out the revenge involving strangers.

I would like to clarify a few things. I originally thought readers would understand my intentions once Sandhya's revenge was complete. However, since some are already feeling the story is drifting, I feel it's necessary to explain my thought process now.

The revenge plot was part of my original plan and not something added on the fly. I want to explore Vicky's psychology when he is cuckolded and the trauma he undergoes. His experience will not be the same as the trauma Sandhya went through. It will be really tough on him, as the way a man and a woman express jealousy is completely different. After causing that trauma, Sandhya will help him recover fully.

Now, regarding Sandhya's transgression involving Dinesh:

You are absolutely right that Sandhya could just forgive Vicky, considering her own affair with Dinesh. This would make Sandhya and Vicky "even." But what about Divya? Both Sandhya and Divya are fundamentally good women, except for the fact that they ended up having an affair with their brother-in-law. Sandhya is righteous in every other aspect. Their affair with Dinesh is entirely unjustifiable and would completely shatter the family if revealed.

Therefore, I decided that both Sandhya and Divya must live with that guilt for life. This will be their punishment. If Sandhya makes things "even" by forgiving Vicky because of her own affair, her guilt will lessen, leaving Divya to bear the entire burden alone. I don't want it that way. I want to keep the affair as a shared transgression between Sandhya and Divya, so they can share the guilt and lighten each other's emotional burden.

Also, while Sandhya will help Vicky heal from the trauma of her revenge, he would suffer permanent, incurable trauma if he ever found out his own brother was involved with his wife. Therefore, the brothers will never know about this part of their wives' transgressions.

By the end of the story, they will be a happy family, and Dinesh will continue to receive his "benefits" from both his Annis.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. Please keep reading and leaving your comments—whether good or bad. I am always here to listen, and your feedback truly motivates me to write more. Thank you!

It make sense now. What I mean is she should forgive him without revealing what happened with Dinesh. Seems "I decided that both Sandhya and Divya must live with that guilt for life" and " Dinesh will continue to receive his "benefits" from both his Annis" is contradictory. But will love to read however you are planning to continue the story.
