Thank you.

These past four years have been some of the hardest years of my life. Incredible, yes, but also grueling and nerve-wracking. A lot has changed since I first envisioned this version of Arnav and Khushi, including me… but one thing that didn’t change was your love and your undeniable loyalty.

Thank you making it to the end.

This story first came to me 8 years ago, when I was up late one night, questioning if soulmates do even exist. Even though my upbringing was the exact opposite of Khushi’s in this story, at that point of time, I had felt just as confused as her. Sorted by head, but completely lost at heart.

How do we know who our soulmate is? If they even exist? Books and movies make us believe that your heart will know, but experience said otherwise. In the age of Tinder and Hinge, how would anyone be convinced that there is one person out there who is perfect for you? This formed the basis of Arnav’s character, and even though many of you were very annoyed with him in the earlier chapters, I hope I could convince you that love is not a onetime thing.

As we see everywhere around us, people fall in and out of love all the time. It doesn’t mean that they weren’t soulmates… it’s just that circumstances change us in unpredictable ways. And as human beings, it is only natural to move on. I hope you guys could understand that as Arnav slowly, but inevitably, fell for Khushi.

This is, of course, my take on the ever-changing definition of love. I’m sure as life brings new adventures, my opinion on soulmates will also change and evolve.  

Thank you once again for reading this. And extremely sorry for disappearing for so long and so frequently. It truly meant a lot when I came back after 3 years and found many you still here, waiting 

Unfortunately, this will be the last time I will be posting on India-Forums. I joined this amazing community many years ago, when I was still an awkward teenager obsessing over fictional characters. I wrote my first story here, got my first like, comment and feedback... I wouldn't be the writer I am today if it wasn't for all of you amazing people. However, due to time constraints and all the new updates on IF that I'm not familiar with, I decided to post my stories only on my blog (https://archicorner.home.blog/) and/or Wattpad (https://www.wattpad.com/user/archi05) moving forward. Those websites are easier to manage. 

If you ever need to reach me, don't hesitate to comment on the blog or DM on Wattpad - I will answer as soon as I can. 

I hope we stay in touch. 

Sending all of you lots of love and hugs,
