Part 1 (She)
This chapter showed two best friends Mili and Shambhavi who are opposite in nature to each other.
At first I thought that this story is about Mili whose lover is going to USA for 1 year and henece there was a scope of a story there but later on in the next chapter I found out that its Shambhavi who is the main lead of the book.
Shambhavi is a brilliant artist. She is good at various things but her best part is painting (which she is not willing to sell for her living). She chooses her career in interior designing after lot of shifts regarding career.
Eventually one day she meets her tall, dark and handsome man Arjun Datta, as the owner of Datta Enterprises (She meets him regarding furnitures for her project on Ahluwalia mansion). Arjun looked very much trapped into a nutshell from where he didn't want to come out.
And finally they happen to work together.
(I ended up laughing here when I read Mrs. Ahluwalia calling Mr. Datta a carpenter. Anyway he was just a Millionaire carpenter.)
Also both Shambhavi and Arjun started feeling for each other.
Part 2 (He)
It deals with the past of Arjun. How a girl used his love to gain money out of Arjun. The girl, Prehal was already married and Arjun found out that she was about to make money out of him by saying that she was pregnant. And hence Arjun lost his trust on what is called Love.
(Okay, It looked very much Bollywood style).
Even after stopping himself falling in love with Shambhavi, he could not stop. They both ended up making love with each other at Arjun's place.
And for Arjun history repeated itself when Shambhavi called him crying and said that she was pregnant.
He abandoned Shambhavi and their child blaming her that she was behind Arjun's money.
Part 3 (She)
This part is showing Shambhavi's journey as a single mother of a child in the womb.
I was amazed when her father got to know about the pregnancy of Shambhavi, he accepted it as a friend lending her shoulders for support.
(I fall in love with the Father - daughter relationship, but also it reminded me of the movie Paa when Vidya Balan was supported by her mother in giving birth to a baby when she was unmarried).
Right then she receives a cheque from faisal (assistant to Mr. Datta) about the work she has started on Arjun Datta's Hotel which was half done.
Her only friends in the world Mili and Tutul (her assistant at work) are there with her during her pregnancy.
To gain money at probably seventh month she plans an exhibition of her paintings. And then comes the most emotional scene of the book. Shambhavi gifts her father a painting showing his face. They both cry hard with each other (and it brought tears in my eyes <3).
Tragedy happens when they both (Shambhavi and her father) fall from stairs. Her dad looses his breathe on the way to hospital and the baby in critical condition lying incubated.
Part 4 (He)
Arjun comes to know that Shmabhavi never en-cashed the cheque and she with the baby has met with an accident he runs to the hospital and use all his forces to save the baby (Pari, named by her mother). But destiny talks. Pari dies.
After this Shambhavi goes in a state of shock, like a living person with no heart beat.
Arjun tries his best to provoke her to speak up, to return to the present world, forgive him. And finally he succeeds when Shmbhavi reads a poem written by him which says he considered himself guilty for what happened.
They both reunite and the story ends.
At some of the points in the story emotions were portrayed effectively.
To be frank I didn't find the title very much apt, But yes the story was somewhere linked to a promise but not exactly.
As pointed out by one of my friends "Half of the book looked very good and real but the the story lost its charm being a repetitive one what we see in movies".
I actually could guess the story ahead, in between.
But criticising works is an easy job than doing it actually.
