Hey Rabia,

Ok here I go....since you yourself have allowed me to bakwas, I'm just gonna let myself go here and say all I want. You have been warned. 😈

Lol...I think this is the longest comment I've ever gotten! So exciting!!! 😆

Ok so first your title of this chapter is very apt. I realized I haven't actually commented on your titles before but I do notice them so I'm going to start commenting on them from now on. Haan, so you're really clever with your titles as it doesn't give a clue to what actually happens in the chapter but it's only after you read it that you realize what it meant.

Glad you like them...sometimes it's really irritating when I'm done with a chapter but can't think of a proper title for it, and thus can't post it. I really want to have titles for every chapter, so I really hope I can continue to come up with them...

And so clearly the message of this chapter was how desparate times can bring people together no matter how different they may be from each other. While it is true that all these characters of yours are really different from each other, they do have things in common as well which allowed them to understand and eventually get along with each other. They all have basic moral values, concern, and willingness to help out. Ok those are terrible adjectives to use.....ahhh I'm not good with words like you but I hope you got what I was trying to say. That despite being different they are similar in some sense.

I know exactly what you mean...if there was someone with Todd Mitchell's personality in the group, that may have been a problem.

Congrats to you for getting your message across so clearly and efficiently. It was really well executed by you how each of the characters brings in something to help out with the situation. The obvious ones of course were Aditya, Samira, Deepali, Hina and even Rehaan. But I thought it was a good touch how you showed Neelam helping out. She realized she could've made matters worse by showing her sensitivity to such a situation and turned away which was definitely a smart and an "in her own way" (for lack of a better adjective again) method of helping out. I love how you included everyone helping out in some way or another.

It's also Neelam's keen senses that will lead to Todd's arrest...so it was definitely a good thing that she was there.

I loved your transition from earlier how everyone was so confused about how to handle the situation but as they went on everyone sort of had more control of the situation and immediately knew what each one could do. Like for example how Hina quickly said she could call her brother and how Zaid gave his shirt to use. It was just a good contrast from before when they had absolutely no ideas as to how to go about taking care of the situation to thinking fast and coming up with ideas. I hope that made somewhat of sense.

There was an initial panic...but once Aditya took charge, they all felt a little more confident.

O btw, are you a med student kya? lol just got that feeling. That bit about the CPR, aren't you supposed to not take out an inserted object (the glass) in a case like that so as to prevent further damage? 😕 Well I need to rejuvinate my CPR skills so I DEF could be wrong. Just wondering though for my info...Mannnn I'm such a nerd. 🤓. I am studying to get into med school so I'm just genuinely interested in this stuff before you give me any weird looks. I'm not crazy I swear....ok maybe just a little bit. Anyways, ignore this section.....it's nothing to do with your story...just me being weird as usual.

You are quite perceptive...yes, I am infact a med student, just finishing off my first year (which makes me only a few months behind Yusuf). As far as CPR and First Aid goes, I know very little about them (just have some basic CPR training). But I did just complete my Cardiovascular module so I do know about maintaining blood volume. After reading your comment, I went and did a little research and technically you're right. In general, if there's a foreign object in the skin, it is better to leave it in and apply pressure around it, although I did find some websites (including Mayo Clinic's First Aid site) that give directions for how to remove glass and splinters. But yes, I do suppose that with such a large piece of glass the prefered method would be to leave it in. However, I think that their situation was a little different. The glass was in her lower back, a place that wasn't easily accessible, and they didn't want to move her in case she had a spine injury. Yusuf was more concerned with loss of blood volume, so he told them to remove the glass so they could properly apply pressure to the wound and stop the blood flow. Also, since Yusuf is pretty much just as qualified as I am in trauma medicine, it's possible for him to be wrong in his advice. I know it sounds like I'm just giving an excuse for being wrong, but honestly, if doctors make mistakes, I'm sure med students can too. 😳 But anyway, no harm done...Carissa is okay! Thanks for pointing that out though...I'll try to be a little more careful with anything else medicine related (hint: there will be more! 😉).

*ahem* *clears throat*. Toh haan kahan thi main? O ya back to your story.....ok so I still don't fully understand Zaid's character. Maybe that's the way you'd like it I don't know? Maybe you're going to explore it more (well yeah obviously) in the future chapters so we're supposed to feel that way? I'm not sure but I don't really get what he's like as yet...anyways I'll find out soon I guess.

I haven't had the opportunity to properly develop Zaid yet. All that's clear so far is that he's a bit careless (mixes up dates and times, doesn't care about being late to class, leaves his phone in the car and forgets about it, etc) and that he gets nervous around Hina because he has major crush on her. Another thing I'll tell you now is that he can be highly emotional. He's generally a happy, laidback kind of guy, but if something upsets him he has the tendency to become very angry and/or very depressed. There will be more in the next few chapters! I hope it'll help.

O and the bit about Rehaan's reflection after looking at Samira also had me confused. You said that Rehaan was surprised to see Samira not crying but then he reflects on how he would deal with a hard situation and you say that he also does not believe in crying/ shedding tears over matters. But you stated that this was how Rehaan was different? To me both of these seemed similar na? They both don't believe in shedding tears and face challenges with courage so I just thought that meant they have something in common but the story stated this differently so it left me a bit confused.

Anyways, this might just be my budhu khopdi not working as usual. *slaps matha*

I'm not quite sure what you mean here...but I'll try to clarify. Rehaan was surpised to see Samira not crying, because he knows that in the same situation, most people (especially girls) would break down. I don't think I ever said that he was different from Samira. In fact, he reflects on how Samira reminded him of his own approach to dealing with difficult circumstances. If it's still confusng, let me know. I may not have worded it properly.

Aww and I loved the cute little bollywood-ish (man I told you I'm terrible with words!!) scene you had with Neelam and Aditya. lol it made me go awww. And the same with the smile that Samira and Rehaan shared was also another aww moment. And while we're talking about aww moments, I might just mention another one being that of Deepali and Rehaan's. Those two clearing their misunderstandings scene was adorable. I loved how Rehaan laughed at Deepali's speed talking. Awww.

Gotta have some filmi scenes! 😆

And Mannn is your story engaging! Is this turning into a mystery now too? How cool! *excited face*. The whole Todd issue seems really interesting. As well as the whole Rehaan's past issues deal, I can't to see that explored further. *rubs hands excitedly*

I always like to have a few secrets that I keep vaguely hinting about at any given moment in my stories. Just to keep you all guessing!

O and I love the last line. Really well put and it totally brings together the whole message of your chapter. So it was Aditya who reflected on that huh? *rubs chin*....interesting....

I was considering having Rehaan relect on that because he's the one who usually thinks about things so deeply. But then I figured that Aditya has a serious side too and anyway, this was something that anyone could have reflected on. I mean, Hina wants to reconcile with Aditya and Deepali and Rehaan are friends? Clearly a lot has changed.

OMG I am SO curious to find out what happens next!! *bites nails* This is getting SO interesting. I have NO clue what's going to happen next yaar! I'm too excited. I cannot wait for your next update.

I feel bad for having such an exciting chapter...because I'm not sure I'll be able to maintain the excitement. Things might become a little more routine in their lives in the next few chapters. But don't worry...at least once every five chapters, there will be some interesting event. 😃

lol I am sure by now you are holding your head and giving me the evils so you'll be happy to know that I am finally DONE! lol I warned ya though. You brought this on yourself Rabia by allowing me to bakwas to my heart's content! *innocent grin*

No yaar, I really enjoyed reading your reply! Thanks so much. Good luck with the med school application process. If you need any advice, I'm always available...

Enjoy! 😈

wow.. the best thing about yer FF is its so real..like I can relate to every scene...the first scene btw rehaan and sameera reminded me of an aquaintance i made in the airport..but today's part really got me..i have lived this nightmare...unfortunately lost a friend..we witnessed the accident right in front of our eyes.. i lived it again while reading the part...

Omg, I'm really sorry you had to deal with that...and I hope reading the story and reliving the event wasn't too painful for you. That wasn't my intention at all.

i dont know you but can say you must be observant and have a keen eye for different personalities around you... great job

Thanks so much for wonderful compliment!

lol right after I was done posting, I was like mannn this is one frickin long comment! haha I think this is the longest comment I've ever posted. 😲 You should feel special.

Ok so first your title of this chapter is very apt. I realized I haven't actually commented on your titles before but I do notice them so I'm going to start commenting on them from now on.

Aww I can imagine when you're all done and finished with a chapter, thinking of a title can be a pain in the you know where. But I think it's a cool idea that you have a title for each chapter. Makes it feel like you're actually reading a book with chapters.

And so clearly the message of this chapter was how desparate times can bring people together no matter how different they may be from each other. While it is true that all these characters of yours are really different from each other, they do have things in common as well which allowed them to understand and eventually get along with each other.

I know exactly what you mean...if there was someone with Todd Mitchell's personality in the group, that may have been a problem.

Yay! Exactly! 😃 It's because they're all desi. Desi people have good values. Well mostly anyways....ok that's the the desi kudi inside me talking again. *jai hind*

Congrats to you for getting your message across so clearly and efficiently. It was really well executed by you how each of the characters brings in something to help out with the situation.

O ya *slaps matha* Forgot about that. Yep that too. She's quite observant.

I loved your transition from earlier how everyone was so confused about how to handle the situation but as they went on everyone sort of had more control of the situation and immediately knew what each one could do. Like for example how Hina quickly said she could call her brother and how Zaid gave his shirt to use.

Yep, well I liked that built up of confidence you showed.

O btw, are you a med student kya? lol just got that feeling.

Wohooooo for guessing it right!! *shakes booty* Mannn I'm good. *proud face*

O wow you actually went and did the research too. LOL you're a bigger nerd than me! *high 5*....lol. But yay it is true then. *dances* Isn't it to prevent a sudden outflow of blood after removing the item? Cuz that would def. lead to alot of blood loss in a very short amount of time? Don't know for sure the reason why but I knew you left the object in there.

Ay lo ji kar lo gal. Arrey yaar that CPR comment was just to show my nerdiness....I didn't mean it as affecting your story. Of course doctors and med students can make mistakes par that wasn't the point you were trying to make in your story toh its fine. I didn't mean it in relation to your story I just meant in general so I would know. I just like to know these things. 😳

@ bold: 🤣

lol okies....and I'll try not be weird and notice these things and just focus on your story ok?

Oh nice, I don't mind more medical related stuff. 😃 *puts on nerdy glasses*

*ahem* *clears throat*. Toh haan kahan thi main? O ya back to your story.....ok so I still don't fully understand Zaid's character. Maybe that's the way you'd like it I don't know? Maybe you're going to explore it more (well yeah obviously) in the future chapters so we're supposed to feel that way?

I hope it'll help.

Alright. That's fine yaar. That's what I figured. You do have a lot of characters so I understand it would be hard to give scope to each of them in every single chapter. It's all cool.

O and the bit about Rehaan's reflection after looking at Samira also had me confused. You said that Rehaan was surprised to see Samira not crying but then he reflects on how he would deal with a hard situation and you say that he also does not believe in crying/ shedding tears over matters. But you stated that this was how Rehaan was different? To me both of these seemed similar na? They both don't believe in shedding tears and face challenges with courage so I just thought that meant they have something in common but the story stated this differently so it left me a bit confused.

I don't think I ever said that he was different from Samira. In fact, he reflects on how Samira reminded him of his own approach to dealing with difficult circumstances. If it's still confusng, let me know. I may not have worded it properly.

Ok I think this was just me being dumb. But you said exactly what I interpreted, as in they're both the same in their dealing with such circumstances haina? They're both courageous people. But in the chapter it says "Rehaan thinks about how he would've dealt differently in this situation" (those may not be the exact words you used btw). He says that after he looks at Sameera without tears. But in fact he would've dealt with the situation in the same way, i.e. without tears.

I hope that's clearer....if not then don't worry about it. I think I got what you were trying to say it was just the wording. It's me overthinking again most likely. 😳

OMG I just read that part again. My baddd!! Cancel everything I said. I need to get sleep. Sorry about that. 😳

Aww and I loved the cute little bollywood-ish (man I told you I'm terrible with words!!) scene you had with Neelam and Aditya. lol it made me go awww. And the same with the smile that Samira and Rehaan shared was also another aww moment. And while we're talking about aww moments, I might just mention another one being that of Deepali and Rehaan's.

I always like to have a few secrets that I keep vaguely hinting about at any given moment in my stories. Just to keep you all guessing!

lol ya you do do that ALOT! 😡 lol j/k it makes things interesting.

O and I love the last line. Really well put and it totally brings together the whole message of your chapter. So it was Aditya who reflected on that huh? *rubs chin*....interesting....

I was considering having Rehaan relect on that because he's the one who usually thinks about things so deeply.

I mean, Hina wants to reconcile with Aditya and Deepali and Rehaan are friends? Clearly a lot has changed.

lol ya that makes sense. I just thought it was interesting that's all. It would've been the same I guess if any one of them had reflected on it. I guess all of them did reflect on it by themselves na? They all must've felt it...you just provided us with the reflection of Adi.

OMG I am SO curious to find out what happens next!! *bites nails* This is getting SO interesting. I have NO clue what's going to happen next yaar! I'm too excited. I cannot wait for your next update.

I feel bad for having such an exciting chapter...because I'm not sure I'll be able to maintain the excitement. Things might become a little more routine in their lives in the next few chapters. But don't worry...at least once every five chapters, there will be some interesting event. 😃

lol no pressure. 😊

lol I am sure by now you are holding your head and giving me the evils so you'll be happy to know that I am finally DONE! lol I warned ya though. You brought this on yourself Rabia by allowing me to bakwas to my heart's content! *innocent grin*

No yaar, I really enjoyed reading your reply! Thanks so much. Good luck with the med school application process. If you need any advice, I'm always available...

Ahahaha ok you're so gonna regret saying that! But thank you jee I'm happy you didn't mind the lamba chauda essay I wrote there. Thanks for the advice offer, I might just take you up on that. I'm studying for the MCAT's atm. 🤢 The whole applying process is gonna suck!! Can't wait. 😃 lol

lol mann you replied back so fast today! You're on a roll first with the updates and now with the replying fast. *pats back*. Wah waah. Very impressive jee.

K I'll shut up now. =)

Enjoy! 😈
