                               Bhishma Kukreti

  Gaytri’s father expired while she was child. Her mother left Gaytri   and remarried

   Ignorantly, Gaytri married with her cosine (fufera brother). Knowing this Gaytri’s mother did suicide.

The story deals with the state of mind of a widow for remarrying and leaving her child orphan. Later on the story deals with the regret of that widow.
