I don't believe this chapter was repetitive as you said. In fact i found it quite a light chapter. It was so beautiful to hear Riddhima speak out loud. The transition to her increasing courage is beautiful to read in this chapter. i remember that first time she had to eat with Armaan, wearing the dress he provided her with, she was so stunned in fear she fled. His very presence shocked her into deafening silence; even though she was always silent at first, the first few meetings with Armaan used to silence her thoughts as well, freeze her body and mind because of the consuming fear. Then slowly her environment and finally finding out that she does have some identity (Tanya-although she doesn't know everything, knowing about Tanya, i think, has made her feel she does belong, she does have someone to attach identity to) lead her to silent courage rather than silent pining. And now its full on determination to not let her questions go unanswered. And now finally that determination has been voiced; not in a weak, trembling voice, but her courage and need to know herself is so natural to her now that her question was an outburst, thoughtless, her questions just flowed out. Absolutely wonderful transition of R's character, Pri.
Actually after I finished and read, I felt like for some it may be repetitive with R's going through the same trust issue and not believing A. And that's why I mentioned :) It was light for sure and a much needed one. Wrting R's character was taking a toll on my brain😳..Every time thinking low about herself and considering herself as Failure.. it was quite..how should I put it..draining my thinking power..LOL..
A major change has took place in her character from the time she was bought to the mansion to now..Now she's slowly trying to make herself STRONG. and trying to stand for herself. Earlier she was strong too but the strong feelings were helping her to survive. The strong person she is slowly trying to transform herself into is making her stand up and is helping her to QUESTION him. This wasn't present before.
I am glad to hear you are liking the transformation in her character :)
I felt the gentleness of Armaan's care here. I'm able to warm up to his character in this chapter. Even though, it was revealed to us that Armaan isn't all evil chapters ago, its only now in this recent chapter that i can connect with him. I feel he has softened his Blue Eye stare to a soothing gaze full of emotive concern towards Riddhima rather than a detached feeling of duty towards Riddhima although that is still there ofcourse. Armaan hididng his concern for Riddhima only increased her belief that he was faking everything, only strengthened her belief that she imagines any nice vibes she may feel from him. In this chapter when he shows his concern towards her more openly through touch, she for a moment believed he has some good in him. Once he stopped, her feeling faded. Which is why i think Armaan needs to continue to show his concern towards R so that she can finally believe it.
Ah..finally A is not seen as an entirely negative person. Though this caring side wasn't visible before or even it was..it wasn't shown on a regular basis. Earlier, Malik was there to keep an eye on them and now with no Malik..A is able to show is more freely :)
A is not ready to tell her about Tanya and it's quite obvious on his part. It's not the correct time and he didn't even knew that R was told about Tanya. He's not ready and this is adding to her list of hatred towards him. R is in a dilemma because of the image she had already made of him and this sudden transformation she's noticing is going against that image. Thus contradicting her own thoughts :)
A is going to show her the feelings and will help her in experiencing those things she always dreamed off and the love story between them will start 😊
Expect Chapter 17 comment tomorrow hopefully =)
