Satya is a
riveting Hindi romance novel, written by Satyendra Singh Apurna. The tagline of
the novel means ‘your company is incredibly reliable and true’ (Tuhara Saath Hi Shashvath Hai). As the
novel opens up, we see Shobha and Aniruddha in Agra somewhat in a denial mode.
The bone of contention is that Shobha and Aniruddha were friends since an early
age and later fell for each other. One of the strong reasons is that they share
a common big house, under different parents. However, they are too early to decide
the future of their love story. It becomes clear that Aniruddha’s parents may
not accept Shobha as a new family member.
Hold on…the
story has just begun. The time they are talking about marriage and future is
just immediately after their school. Thus, in pursuit of good education, both
departs, and choose different ways. They are from Agra.
Before Shobha
could be seen back in the story, the author takes us to an engineering college
in Pantnagar. And there the lead of the novel Satya is being introduced to all.
He is handsome, NDA dropout, but heartbroken due to past love affair. Anyway,
we found that Satya is just a way off any typical engineering students in a few
ways; otherwise he is a chain smoker and lives on his own.
The author has
focused a lot by showing Satya and his idiosyncrasies in detail. It takes some
time to connect Satya with the main stream love story. Well, soon Sobha joins
the same engineering college. She is junior to Satya. Here onwards, regular
college difficulties and circumstances bring both close and together. Before
they develop feelings for each other – a lot goes through in the form of prank,
campus politics, and other unspeakable issues.
The novel is
purely back dropped against the college campus. Shobha initially has tough days
in the college from teachers and a few seniors. To her rescue when Satya
intervenes, she learns a lot about acceptance and loss in life from him.
There is some
dark yet mysterious aura around Satya. Why is he so weird and different and
afraid of love? Why did he protect Shobha from many and what sort of
inspiration he lays out for her? What happens to Satya in the end? Did their
love story see happy days or succumb to the dark tricks of time and fate? To
know the inside story, one must pick up this amazing Hindi romance novel. It’s
beautifully set in those days when college used to be so fun with less
modernity and gadgets around.
