Epilogue: dew and the Mist
All these years they went through hell, they had no one to support them except themselves.
Note from Author
“Every Book has a destiny.”, one of the publishers had told me. I had written ‘dew and the Mist’ in my early days of writing (2010). In spite of my few attempts to get it published, for some reasons it never made it to press. Finally, thanks to #StoryBerry, I am able to bring it to my readers.
Synopsis
‘dew and the Mist’ is a beautiful story of Kusumita who is forced to marry Nihaar Singh, heir of a rich family because of her poor family conditions. Soon she comes to know the reason behind the marriage as Nihaar has a dark past. There is a strong rumour that he was behind the death of his first wife as she was from a rich family.
Kusumita is scared as the truth starts unfolding. She slowly starts falling in love with Nihaar as she starts knowing him but then on another side she comes to know the darker side of him. Will her heart see the truth?
