A Thing Beyond Forever

by Novoneel Chakraborty

What happens when life plays a trick on two innocent lovers? What happens when your first love, much against all possibilities, comes back to you in the most bizarre and astounding manifestation ever ? Dr.Radhika Sharma, for the world outside, is an aberrant and arrogant feminist. But inside, she resides in a far-away world like a vulnerable first sketch of an artist. One night an innocuous enquiry by a nine-year-old patient coaxes her to one's personal diary. And, as she reads on, a bygone era comes to the forefront, taking her through a cavalcade of exclusive events that life, love and friendship offer at the noon of adolescence. And by night time, she finds herself face to face with a question that defies logical explanation. Is falling in love a random act or a planned coincidence? Is attraction the missing link between souls? Will the light f true love outshine the dark shadow of destiny?
