hi komal. Definitely such incidents gives a large wound & it takes time to move on.Best wishes to your cousin & wishing him a very blessed new life.
It is right that life is too uncertain but unanimously agreed truth.But still people don't understand this silly fact.Had it been so people might have crossed the orthodox barrier of caste,culture,religion,honour killing,corruption etc..whatever people do /sow its bound to come back but still this simple funda is very much ignored.
