"Nothing! I said you are not going, then you are not going." Madhurima replied calmly.

If you have to mend anything, you have to do it when the first line of crack appears, or the place starts to soften; and not after it has broken or sunken completely. Because after that, it always hurts to go back to the previous state- if it can go back at all, which doesn't really happen."
