Gaaahhh! I have no words!!!
I love your writing! I say this every time but I must repeat myself for you my friend are such an amazing writer!!!!
The portrayal of emotions, the awkwardness between Anjali and Khushi at first, how everything, from Anjali's first step into the house till she gets to Khushi's room is described in the most magnificent of detail! I could see it all happening in my head.
The plot is already so awesome and yet your literary techniques just take it to a whole new level! I'm in awe!
So at the start of the chapter I had to re-cap a lil bit because you know at the end of the last one my mind had just decided that it was Arnav at the door, so I sort of had to read over the first few lines a second time 😛. And man am I glad it was Anjali! That was just perfect! I'm glad that at least something's sorted in Khushi's life now; Arnav had not only selfishly taken himself away but also separated two sisters and I'm so happy and proud that Anjali took the initiative to just reach out as soon as she could. And I also love the fact that Anjali is not the sort of sister that will blindly follow her brother, yes she did listen to him at first but she knows it was wrong and she's apologising and she isn't expecting Khushi to forgive him which makes me respect her. It's really not fair that she was put in that situation in the first place (damn you Arnav!) but I'm sure now that they are back together it won't be as bad.
Now onto Arnav! Oh good lord what an ass! This man just urgh! He just infuriates me on so many levels! Dude? What is wrong with you? Why are you so adamant on sticking to your wrong decisions! *sees herself smacking Arnav senseless* 😆
But I am glad of one thing, he doesn't seem to think that he was right in the way that he treated Khushi, he knows that he's wronged her, he's seeping with the guilt of leaving her to believe that he was dead and it's really eating away at him (Nyaha! That's what you get! 😆)
I love how much of an impact Khushi's not talking to him has had on him and it serves him right. What did he expect as you so rightly put,
Get real Arnav... What makes you think you actually deserve anything from her'
Well at least Arnav Singh Raizada isn't all that delusional 😆. To be honest though I am beginning to feel slightly bad for him, I guess different people have different ways of dealing with grief. It's just psychologically how they are programmed and when something so tragic happens people just flip and I guess that's what happened. He focused his mind on just that one aim that he forgot all sense of what else he was kicking aside (especially Khushi who matters so much to him) and just moved towards that one goal, not caring who he hurt in the process. Of course it would never justify leaving Khushi like that; leaving her to think he was dead like that but it would explain a lot about his character. And maybe just maybe that allows me to feel somewhat bad for him.
And of course Khushi! I love Khushi! I love her confidence! The fact that she's trying not to let him get to her and just move on with the facts that have just been put in front of her. I love that you've made her such a strong character that is not prepared to take shit from anyone, event to the extent where she's still willing to take up the job. You go girl! You show him a piece of your mind!
In this whole update this one line had so much significance for me and I feel it summed up all that Khushi felt about Arnav,
'I prayed for him Di. I prayed everyday hoping that he was safe... And now that I know he is - I have nothing left to give him; because along with his safety, he's taken away my faith in him.'
He's taken away her faith in him, the love with which she had prayed days on end for him to still be alive he's broken and shredded into pieces. He's betrayed her in one of the worst ways possible and I'm glad she's chosen not to forgive him.
And of course beyond everything I love the fact that Khushi is able to think so rationally and unlike Arnav take her decisions in a way that would not hurt every single person around her. She chose to forgive Anjali just like that, she understood that at the end of the day Anjali wasn't really at fault and I salute Khushi for that. Even in the midst of all this heartbreak, her own emotional turmoil, she's able to comfort Anjali's guilty conscience and not take her anger against Arnav out on Anjali! Aaah I just love Khushi! Period. 😆
Okay and omg! The job offer! Is this an Aakash wala plan? Because if it is I want to like jump into your story and just hug him! Because well he sounds awesome! And he's got a plan hatching 😆. And job offer! Let me do another jump for that 🥳 .
Khushi got the job! = Unforgiving Khushi infront of guilty confused Arnav = Dhamaka = Drama = Me very happy 😆
Aw Arnav you don't know what's coming! And I hope Khushi makes him PAYY! 😛
... Okay good lord! I could go on for days! So I'll stop there 😛
P.S. I was casually scrolling through tumblr the other day and this one person had wrote about how awesome it would be if IPK was run in seasons and after they had married they could have started all over again - with Arnav and Khushi but in a completely different story. And as I read through the update I just couldn't get that thought out of my head! If they had done that with the actual show, this would have been the perfect new IPK story!
Of course I can't wait for the next update! And no worries that this was late, as long as you update I shall be content 😛.
