After reading the first paragraph there is no doubt in my mind that this story is about me. I think I should put aside some special time to read the rest of the story.

1. Very interesting and only those who have been through this can understand the pain of Mustafa.
2. Mustafa made all the efforts to stop her going out of the relationship. He behaved with maturity and kindness. It is often difficult to part ways with communication lines open. In some cases (like mine), communication breaks down forever as people yeal out of disperation on each other.
3. One of the lesson learnt is to avoid a situation where your lover has to chose between you and her/his family. For some people (irrespective of gender), family has great significance.
4. Time is one of the healer and it is possible that Mustafa will be able to move on.
5. I wonder if Mustafa ever tried to contact Hilal? Because I often observed that changes in time and space bring up opportunities and flexibility in decisions.
6. If time roll backs, (a) would Mustafa and Hilal enter in relationship? (b) What Mustafa and Hilal would do differently during their relationship, (c) if break up is must, who will walk out first?

[He was young and sagacious, merely eighteen years of age. He was a patient listener and an avid learner. He walked with an athletic grace, outstandingly excelled at his studies, was domineeringly popular among his fellows and had a charismatic yet down-to-earth personality. He had the arrogance of a Greek God, decency of a nobleman,, conformity of a bourgeois and the resoluteness of a rebel.]

tragic, but interesting. Especially the dignity that mustafa shows when it is evident that hilal will leave him. he doesn`t turn violent, does not send her blood stained letters and all that crap. he takes it all like a man.
this story took me to another time in the past,

``For him, she was beautiful like a spring sunshine, mystical as a winter moonlight, frivolous as a child’s giggle, restless as a butterfly and colorful as a butterfly``... (``restless and colorful as a butterfly or restless as a butterfly and colorful as a rainbow`` may b more poetic n effective) thats how i could tamper with this story...
a story of every other person who s living with feelings in this society of ours where there r predetermined laws for eveything even for (as Arundhati Roy says in god of small things) `who to love, how to love n how much to love`...the story successfully depicts the true feelings n situations n draws my attention towats the lines of Khalil gibran ``love knows not its depth untill the hour of seperation``...WELL DONE!
