My Review:
This is Rubina Ramesh’s third book, the second novel, and I must say each one of her books is different. Though she has tried to keep the book light, the underlying idea of the book is one that is really pertinent. Why does society expect a woman to forget her responsibility to her parents once she is married? She isn’t even given a choice, though I believe the question of choice shouldn’t arise at all. It should be a given, that just as a man continues to look after his parents throughout their lives, a woman should also look after her parents in the same way. Her being married or not should not change this. This is something that is non negotiable.
Rubina brings this out really well through the dialogues and the interplay of characters in the story. I loved the way Esha replies when told that her fiancé cannot manage to look after three families, namely themselves, his parents and her parents. She says, “You never asked me if I gave you the permission to look after your parents.”
Besides being a socially responsible book, it also has the right amount of intrigue, the right amount of romance and when you finish reading it, you get that feeling of satisfaction that only a well written book can give you.

Esha Mehra could have taken care of her father, only if she had some support from her fiancé. But he had his priorities set and her sick father was nothing but a burden. Esha didn’t have any other choice but to apply for a loan from her office. But she had not banked on the fact that the Head of Geno Technologies needed her for other reasons.
When Rohan Sharma saw Esha for the first time, he felt she was the one. He had no intention of falling in love with her for the pain of the past was still too much to bear.
But he did need Esha as a decoy to his plan. But Esha was not a damsel in distress who would bend to his will easily. While he was sure that he would marry her only for six months, he still couldn’t understand why he felt a searing jealousy every time, her ex-fiancé Ayush’s name was mentioned.
While these two souls had other plans in their lives, Destiny conspires to bring them together. But will the stench of Death let them live their lives?
