‘Destiny Embraces’ is
the second after 'Destiny Decides'. It opens from the point where it had left us,
the last time. It basically ran with the love story, which almost felt like it
was destiny between Sameera and Nikhil. The story, which began with the two of
them meeting again, after many years to them falling in love. Sameera comes to
India, to discover that Nick has followed her.
The story begins with Nick
and Meera sitting at their wedding, when she wanted to stop it. Nick is
visibly upset with her and wants to know why. Basically, Meera wants to finish a ceremony, wherein the two of them are present before Nick’s parents, and
perform the ceremony, in which the entire family is present. This ceremony would
quell all problems, which have haunted the family that makes them unable to
conceive a female child.
But due to certain
circumstances, Nick, who has already proposed and wants to get married to her,
immediately. So, the two end up having a double wedding, with Nethra and Srini.
Nethra happens to be Meera’s sister and Srini is her boyfriend.
Incidentally, a
mysterious incident happens, wherein Meera ends up with a child, who was
kidnapped. She finds out that the kid is also named Sameera. When, the baby’s
mother and grandmother return, with the police, they are given back the kid.
This was only a beginning to the mysteries, which flow, in this book.
So, Meera ends up
wishing for a Rajput wedding, so she can conceive the family’s female child.
There was also the story of RajaRam and Jasleen, which has a lot to do with
these two getting married. The story will be told in parts through the entire
rigmarole.
But the Rajput style of
wedding is now delayed, and the two make their way back to the US. Once back in
California, the two of them settle into married life, as Meera wants. Meera
wanted to live in with the entire family. So, the two of them move in and now,
we are shown a few other problems.
Firstly, the mystery of
Meera’s father’s chain. Suddenly, people seem to be looking for it, and Nick
who was presented it by Meera, does not want to get rid of it. Therefore, we
are put through, Nick and his security detail, Mitch, managing to escape the
entire situation of people trying to lay
their hands on Nick and grabbing the chain. Nick has the chain, under his
protection and has even incorporated it to himself and his children.
Then, also
the return of Meera’s ex-boyfriend. Of course, there
is also Nick’s brother, Sam and his girlfriend, Reetu’s story. Will they ever
get married? What is stopping them? Who was Roy Shankar and how was he
involved?
Basically, there was no
end to these mysteries. The confusion, which I was feeling, was a little too
much. This, with the love story, which seems stronger between Meera and Nick,
also there was little too much of love-making, between the two.
Also, the Rajput wedding,
which has to take place, does that happen then will both of them settle in? Why
does RajaRam leave Jasleen behind, in this enigmatic part to the story, and
what does it have to do with Nick and Meera? Will the historical part find its end now, in the present time?
I hope it solves some
problems, in this part and some more unidentified portions in the story, which
will find their end, in the third part of the story. The bits about their
entire story, and the mysteries, which were created was good. But again, the love
and sex bit was a too much for me to take. A decent effort!
