This question arises every time I read a book. I know this happens in different creative fields, but I would like to talk in particular about the impact it created on a reader, i.e., me, while reading books.               <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\"><p>\u201cTo get us attached, to make us believe and break us apart\u201d, is how I see the pain we endure while reading a book, that can leave us in tears.           <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn\u2019t one or two, but literally so many books that made me close them before I could complete reading, in premonition of the grief they bring. I have consoled myself to stay strong every time that I reach out to read the last few pages of the book. Within these last few pages of the book begins the real battle between me, the characters of the book, and the author. I presume this is the same case with many of us as we keep the book aside, finishing it with a deep sigh.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/herstories.xyz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/987645ec7166f4a29f2d589c778873ac-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/herstories.xyz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/987645ec7166f4a29f2d589c778873ac-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/herstories.xyz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/987645ec7166f4a29f2d589c778873ac-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with, the first book that made me cry was \u201cTill my last breath&#8221;, by Durjoy Datta. Though I have read a lot of books before, there is something that shook me in this book. To be precise, it was just a single line. That\u2019s when I got to know about how authors play with the feelings of readers, to get them engaged with the book even after so many years of reading it. I\u2019m pretty sure that every one of you will have one such book that became close to your heart, just for the reason that it made you cry your heart out.        <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey of fighting with the characters and authors begins at that moment you feel bad reading this single line. As I got to know about these &#8216;got-so-famous&#8217; books, I started grabbing them to experience what others felt to make it popular and found one thing common among them. That\u2019s pain. That\u2019s misery. That\u2019s melancholy.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be it &#8216;Romeo and Juliet&#8217; by William Shakespeare or &#8216;The Fault in Our Stars&#8217; by John Green or &#8216;The Notebook&#8217; by Nicholas Sparks or &#8216;The Diary Of A Young Girl&#8217; by Anne Frank or &#8216;A Thousand Splendid Suns&#8217; by Khaled Hosseini or &#8216;Love Story&#8217; by Erich Segal, and all the other books, had that one mantra in them.  That&#8217;s when I decided not to end the first book I authored, in suffering.  I wanted my readers to live through the happiness every time they think of \u201cWill you be my better half By Aathira Srishti\u201d and wished them to say something that, it was a feel-good book and I\u2019m happy that I got the response I expected.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/herstories.xyz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/happy-ending-sign-blue-sky-background-d-rendered-happy-ending-sign-113641105.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/herstories.xyz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/happy-ending-sign-blue-sky-background-d-rendered-happy-ending-sign-113641105.jpg 800w, https:\/\/herstories.xyz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/happy-ending-sign-blue-sky-background-d-rendered-happy-ending-sign-113641105-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/herstories.xyz\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/happy-ending-sign-blue-sky-background-d-rendered-happy-ending-sign-113641105-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>dreamstime<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\"><p>Also to all the creators, let\u2019s tell the world that there is love that never ends, there is a victory just a few steps away, there is a pain in fighting, yet winning, there are tears of happiness, there is hope that all gets back to normal, there is the belief that we\u2019ll achieve everything we want and eventually, there will be happy endings as well.
