Though the first part had its sweetness with Raghav feeding soup to Kalpi so lovingly that even after its over she continued to open her mouth... ... It was sweet of him to give her some privacy afterwards so that there's no awkwardness between them.
17b remains my clear favourite as you really outdone yourself this time. The way you described each and every emotion of Kalpana towards Raghav was so fabulous. Kalpana was surprised to feel the warmth covering her body and though it was comforting , she woke up because she was not used to this. Loved how she switched off the lights even though she was scared of dark as the lights were affecting Raghav's sleep. She didn't hesitate to comeback into his arms immediately and it felt so right to have his arms around her. Like it was her security blanket...
Then there was my favourite scene where she rests her head on his heart and hear the sound of his heart beats! (You wouldn't believe me, I do that all the time with my hubby π³... ) It gives you so much peace ... , I could relate with it. That incident reminded Kalpi of her childhood with her dad and brother , whom she lost later.
It was so lovely to see her telling Raghav everything about her past including her dad and brother's accident. It shows how much she trusts him and wanted him to know her deepest secrets and darkest fears. Love really makes you do the most unimaginable things, for sure! I'm sure she forgot about the divorce papers.
Malhar and Sammy witnessed Kalpi breaking down and Raghav trying to console her. It was smart of Malhar to tell the lawyer that. She's one whiz kid and the favourite of all the characters.
You know you really have a way of making us like people. You gave us Rohish in MI /RR and now here you introduced Malhar. Both are my favourites, not just mine, I'm sure there are so many who adore them. That's a writer's skill, to make the readers fall in love with the characters, that too new ones. I mean everyone loves ragna but the others take time to be accepted. Hats off to you for that ! π
