HI Bheegi,
My comments after the second reading of this part
aww..thanks ssh! Thats so nice of u to do that

Every kid goes through a moment like this in their life when they think the whole world hates them, that everyone is against them, that they are the worst kid in the world.

I promised to remember for my kids when I was a grownup- never insult them in front of their friends! It hurts'.really hurts, more than any wound on your body.

Very true.Seems a great 'father' in the making.
yeah, this harsh fact i have learnt from my own kids
The moment Padma aunty kissed me; I knew that when I grew up, I would never stop kissing my kids even if they were the worst kids in the world. After dad's snub, if I had stopped believing in God, my faith in guardian angels was reinstated by aunty.

YES HE IS!" They all (except Abhimanyu I am sure- I was too thrilled with the admiration to notice) screamed in unison.

Broccoli was a small sacrifice for basketball, and I was old enough for such sacrifices, I told myself.

Me- a sensitive boy? A sissy? Naa! Padma aunty did not know me that well after all. It's only now when I am 28, I realize how right your mom was. Sensitive does not always mean tears; sensitive also means self destructive behavior by a person, angry at himself for hurting someone he really cares about, but doesn't know why.

I-I forced Riddhima to do my homework. She didn't want to cheat, but I told her I would beat her up if she didn't listen to me."

but when the principal reduced your suspension to just a warning I felt relieved for you.


Cho chweet

it's always nice to know what parts the readers like

my first glimpse into how trust worthy you were.

I don't know what you were thinking with those big brown eyes of yours, but now when I think back, why do I think that you were genuinely worried about me?

Abhimanyu held your hands and positioned them in front of your body, "like that'.this way, you will be ready." Once again, he flashed his silly, mean grin at you, infuriating me to the core.

"I hate her too!" I know I had lied; that was always my first response, my defense against anyone trying to link you with me.

I pulled you back by your wrists. I had seen the hero pulling the heroine by her wrists in a lot of Hindi serials that my mom watched on Indian TV channels, but we were kids and it felt strange that I was doing the same to you.

budding romance ???? not bad...😉😉😉
😉

he he...that was filmy or rather serial-y😆

Arre Armaan..tumhare haath ko kya hua?" Mom came running to me. I liked it, in fact, loved it when mom ignored Abhimanyu's 'grounded' comment and touched my face worriedly, "yeh kab hua? School se tho theek aaye the tum?"

How typical of any mom. However angry she is never wantsto see her child hurt.

yeah, exactly!

"Muskaan beta'.teachers are always good, just like parents, they always want the best for you. Sometimes they can appear mean, but that's because they want you to learn," Padma aunty explained.

Oh how I wish all parents were as understanding as Padma.
ok, i am one of those parents that empathize with teachers for sure

We all know that she was a Psychology major, but do all parents have to be Psychology majors to understand their kids?

Really wonder...
parenting is common sense more than education. Unfortunately, a lot of parents don't use it😕

I-I-HATE ARMAAN!" You inhaled between your sobs. Your hateful, petrified eyes made me diminish in stature like I had never felt before.

😭😭 cho saaad😭
poor armi!😭 what emotional atyachaar for him

Hi, Di

thank you for the PM.

Aww very cute update. in beginning armaan getting angry and aggressive was so creatively written. Each emotions were at his perfect place and Very well described.

Riddima is really an angel. Even Padma aunty's humble and motherly love twitched in his heart. He already started making notes for his kids. How will he love n care them? so cute... LOL

Padma aunty surely knows how to handle kids. while reading it reminded my on my psychology class and parenting styles.. Good job. It is the best.

Basketball coach was good idea to make them friends.

But as love stories are meant to have third person, Abhimanyu ruins that too.... Yet they are kids and obviously kids think of something in return which is truly a childish behavior...

I felt heart borken when again Armaan had to leave her and move out. Plus this time to save her he lies. Which made me cry...
He had lost his heart to the most wonderful and very angelic girl....

Excited for another teenage/childish part.

Excellent job, di...
I loved it...

Hi bheegi di,

Sorry for not being able to reply on the last part. Got busy with some errands.

NP Sai! I know ur a faithful reader so u will come back at some point😊

OK 'After reading both the parts..I just feel I won't be able to do any specific justice to them with my comments, as I think myself too short of words for it. But if I just need to define it in a single word I would say The fanfic is a Dynamite and everypart comparising it is like a sutli bomb.

OMG...I feel the pressure already😆😆 thanks again sweety

Here, definitely I found Riddhima, Armaan, Abhi, Nikki, Muskaan and Rahuls childhood as Kids- Adorable,Gullible, Innocent ,etc and their way of seeing through situations through others perspectives or impressions sometimes rather than analyzing them( which reminded me of the fresh clay being moulded in the manner one wishes) very deftly portrayed.Loving all the characters here..But for me I think I found Armaan more Gullible than Ridz.
Yes,ur right in a way. I think armaan is more gullible to his real emotions- his heart whereas Ridz prob has more self control thanks to her personality and her dad's influence

Don't know why '.but may be the incidences or his way and attitude towards the situations inclines me to think that.

Armaan here inspite of his rebel and naughty streak can't escape the gullibility ( which appears in his character every now and then, appearing most strikingly when Abhi smoothly brain-washes Armaan ) or the kindness and sensitivity he possess when he hurts Ridz or vice-versa. Riddhima being the genius, and all, still has those girly child like emotions.. Abhi being the Richie-rich here though not a completely Negative character, but definitely- a very manipulative kid...

yes, ur right. Abhi is not a bad kid- he is just a show off and manipulates situation to his convenience. Let's see how he turns out in the end


Muskaan being Armaans sole sister and may be due to Armaan's impression on her, turning into a tom-boy. Nikki and Rahul all sweet, delicate and humble like their parents.

But to be specific here, I think I LOVE Padma really very much . May it be her psysholgy edu . But the fact that she understands and convinces the Kids and Parents so well....I have instantly developed a real Adoration for her much more than any other elder. I appreciate her idealogy of seeing the silver lining rather the dark clouds. To me parents and teachers are the one who recognize the skills and flaws in the kids and work on them smothly and accordingly ....... and definitely 'No kid should be under-estimated or judged before time.'

exactly! I think padma would be the same even if she did not have a psychology background as i strongly believe that parenting has to be done with instincts and common sense- of course education always helps

About the last sub-part 'I was a bit disappointed in Riddhima as I had expected some different reaction on her side with Armaan's taking all the blame rather than allowing the teachers to make him the scape goat'.But may be that is her side of the story which Armaan is unaware of or she is too small to understand it'Hope to see u emit some light there in some future part.

yeah, this was a turning point in AR relationship as far as armaan was concerned but did ridz really realize what he did for her?? let's see later

In short Loved the parts veryyyyyyy much..and Loved the way u have penned it and expressed things in such a realistic light. Wating for the next part to see how Armaan - Riddhima relationship work!!! Hope This 'Absence of them from each others School life makes their hearts grow Fonder' '. Plzzzzzzzz continue soon.

let's hope so😳...thanks again for ur wonderful comments😊

Thanx and Love.

Sai.

Hey Bheegi i cnt tel u much bout my bro coz he's like 21😆 nw i onli knw he was a naughty kid coz of the home videos we av and i av 2 other brothers who arent angels either...they are al older than me lol.

bt readin ur FF does remind me of dem as they are nw and as they wer as kids. thats why i luv ur FF so much.

btw u av kids? i knw dat was a very random and rude question bt im jus curious frm readin other ppls comments.

Update soon.

Tahmina😉

Ahhhh, Bheegi that was superb!! Absolutely loved it. Honestly, I can relate to how Armaan feels about being teased about being married to Riddhima. I went through the same when I was a kid; coincidently, him and I were also 10 and 9 respectively. His grandma had this crazy nuisance about getting us married and I was teased for years by his cousins by being called bhabhi and what not; it was embarrassing. Luckily, my parents were not happy with the old lady's idea and boy am I thankful, the guy is so short compared to me lol; we would have looked like an odd couple.

Anyhow, the update was great but that's awful that Armaan is being sent to a different school; hopefully he'll be able to join the gang in 6^th grade, but I do see Riddhima venturing away from him eventually; I mean as in going away to study and all. Well I look forward to the next update, at the present time this is my favorite FF and the only one I am keeping a tab on.
