I can't believe how I have missed such an immensely beautiful FF ever since. You wrote this in 2011 and I am reading this now. I stumbled upon this link, started reading the story and in 3 hours I am here and boy am I glad I did!
Where do I begin?
I want to say so much, tell you so much but words fail me. What soulful writing Lyraa!
Please bear with my speechlessness and not very intelligent comment - it tends to happen when I finish reading a story like this one - a story that emotionally engages me to a level that I live and breathe with the characters and from the cynic I usually am, I'm reduced to a soppy romantic. Behind that smile was one of those.
Even though I can't find the right words to tell you just how much I loved this story - I will say one thing.
Your writing is different from all the other FF writers I have enjoyed reading. And by different I mean...it surprises you every now and then.
Whenever I was reading a chapter of this FF, there was always some line...some sentence...some little word or phrase that completely stunned me with the great deal of meaning it held within...and with the depth of your thoughts and the expertise of translating emotions onto paper in raw, uninhibited form - just as they are meant to be conveyed. After a point, I looked forward to such lines in all the later chapters and you never disappointed.
Like there is one line that I remember - it was in the initial chapters when Arnav misunderstands Khushi and he says to his heart..."Heal damn it!"
These words were...something else.
I have read so many FFs on this theme, Arnav marrying her for his Di and his battle of the mind and the heart, and people have written paragraphs and full chapters on his emotional turmoil " but none of them moved me to the extent these three words did. Such a simplified expression of hurt buried deep within - yet so powerful. I have never read something like this. You are gifted, my friend. You have a way with words, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who's told you that.
There are so many other lines like these. Someday, when asli duniya goes lenient on me...I will come back..edit my comment and quote here each and every one of those special gems in the chapter that left such a deep impression on me whenever I read them.
I dunno if you come online anymore but my next stop will be your index hoping to read some more from you. Never stop writing!
Lots of love x🤗
