Radha is feeling very anxious and nervous as she makes her way to meet her estranged husband, Prabhakar. She has not seen him in sixteen years, ever since he abandoned her and their children for his college sweetheart, Leena. Prabhakar moved to London with Leena, and they had two sons together, leaving Radha and their family heartbroken. Now, Prabhakar wants to return to Radha and their family because Leena has left him and taken their children. Radha is torn and does not know what to do. Her family has reassured her that they will support her, but the decision is ultimately up to Radha whether to give Prabhakar another chance.
In this literary work, Challa unapologetically delves into themes of marital abandonment, bigamy, and rejection. These raw and intense themes are powerfully explored through the experiences of Radha. When a spouse leaves their partner without explanation, it inexplicably leaves the abandoned partner feeling frustrated and hurt, plagued with the question of what went wrong. The author fearlessly delves into the emotional turmoil of the children affected by parental abandonment, vividly portraying how they feel rejected and abandoned. The selfish behavior of the absent parent dramatically impacts their loved ones, displaying a severe lack of concern for others. Furthermore, the author confronts the complex emotions associated with being chosen as a second option when the first choice is unavailable, exposing the deep sense of worthlessness and undesirability it can evoke. This book is guaranteed to resonate with readers who have weathered similar experiences.
