Synopsis Of The Play:
Some love stories doesn’t have a happy ending but the feeling of loving that person remained forever. Even if it an unrequited love there is always concerned for that special someone we love. In the heart of a true lover, some unforgettable words uttered by the special someone always remained until their last breadth.
This is the love story of Thadoi and Atang. One day, Thadoi had said to Atang that she will never give her love to him and it is impossible even up to her seventh rebirth.
To this, Atang had replied that he will wait for her until their eight rebirths and then she will be his forever. Later in life, Atang had saved Thadoi from many pains and from the clutches of God of Death.
The sad thing is, Atang never ever again expressed his love to Thadoi as it would be same as asking for price for his help and sacrifices. Atang thought, Thadoi would think that he is doing all this for his own benefit.
Atang always believed that Thadoi would become his lover only when he will be born again for the eighth time. As the saying goes, true love has no ending; Will fate brings together Thadoi and Atang? The Almighty only knows what will happen to the love story of Thadoi and Atang.
