ps: merry christmas, and yayyy you to be santa with an update! =)))
*Edit*
I felt incredibly full of myself in significant bits out here - tis like I need some anti-pump-up-ego measures soon, or i'm going to be so bloated up that you'll only ever find me high up in sky alongside them shooting stars 😆
aite, that said, let's start of with my favorite lines and verbose feedback:
and very much red coffee mug feminizing an otherwise very much masculine picture ... there was so much said about this mug, and i kept wondering if you were drinking coffee out of a red mug while having written those bits, cause it was like the little red thing had you possessed... and me too - i went right down into the kitchen and fished out my nescafe mug (from god knows what dumps mum was none too pleased to find her cabinets so rampaged) and had my tea in just that! (sigh, coffee is my BFF of a past I can only fondly reminisce about.. double sigh)
"If you are done with it, I'd like my mug back!" Riddhima was intent on giving him nothing.
He rose, and walked towards her, to her credit, Riddhima stood her ground, "what?...no good morning!" he yawned lazily as he stopped in front of her. ...
"Ufff" she let out a frustrated glare at Armaan.
"You have no idea how you look when you say that!" these were SIGNATURE AR bits! like those scenes/lines that just flow out of the pen when one writes about AR, yeh?! =)
She is shadowing me today" Bring it on Armaan, Riddhima was determined to give it back. All of a sudden, that break had transformed into something else. i loved the way he termed it 'shadowing' it was so apt, in being downright honest, and downright a tease! 😆
i additionally liked (a lot) how Armaan kept checking his list of which Ridhima versions he liked, and which he did not (the latter being only the ones where he ceased, or appeared to cease being the center of her world - such a guy! 😆)
"I think she just realized how much she missed out on last night", (how darned mean was that! Mr. Armaan Prick Malik!)
Armaan and NJ are a riot (despite how slow you made NJ at catching up on his cue - it was RIGHT there, and i wanted to barge into the screen and glare her down to let me down 😆... and so was her understanding of a man and a woman can't be friends (she was right when she felt sadistically satisfied about Armaan metting his match...
which brings us to Ridhima and NJ who might outdo the riot-ous records of Armaan and NJ eventually, given chance and space.. ladies teaming up on a lone guy is that cliche scenario, which never runs out of its scope for providing fun! =)
"He was on the healthy side, freshmen year" NJ finally spoke up. (This, the chubby cheeks moniker, was positively ROFL-worthy! excessively so cause... erm, well that's a secret I'd tell u on chat! :D remind me for sure! .. anyways, i know where the sweetcheeks comes from, so hail sookie san for the immortal tags that haunt me even in fictional appearances... oh well! )
and yeh, i missed nothing, i repeat nothing of all those excellent (And not so excellent) traits being attributed to *ahem* the mysterious stranger!
Which after days of utter silence, had been the first genuine thing she had said to him,and instantly a strange relief washed over him...
The morning had started with a splash and no surprises why there was a spring in her steps. these were so awww! i literally said it out loud while reading them...
the overall travails and enigma continues to prevail, but AR moments (and Muskaan moments while I'm a that, cause she was another SIGNATURE herself character in this part) provide happy, and angsty respite... and fill in very well to round up the story ... since the updates are actually not obnoxiously absurdly spaced (averts eyes) the flow is actually pretty neat! =) ridhima's brother's death is going to create some havoc, but hopefully its only a major misunderstanding that shanks harbors in his more than often prejudiced mind... if t isn't, god save the couple! obviously, despite what R hopes for, AR are never going t be half as easy as AA... oh well!
pablos is an excellent start to the day (even when co passengers on your morning train resort to giving you 'the looks')
so anyways, that's with my detailed comment, not so delayed , yet again, you have to agree - I'm being so good about all my stardom, you should be absolutely smug about your genius creation A 😆
cheers, and merry christmas!
