I guess there is only that much you can write seriously, without adding any sort of humour.
And as usual..you and KKG not only surprised arnav, who bichara "fantasized" about this moment, but also us!
Thank you
"I know what she is referring to, of course"
for a moment I wasn't so sure.
The way he looked through this khushi to figure out:
"The old Khushi challenged me at very turn."
"the shyness"
I liked.
And aman and arnav haha:
"Already? And the day is just beginning.."
Somethings don't change:
"Does her return have anything to do with me at all?"
And they might just have:
"I chide myself for my selfishness."
I never doubted khushi's capabilities to move ahead. I love how you described the whole scene in arnav's office. The moving back and his need to reduce all proximities..I guess he can understand it now. Although he was always good at reading her eyes..the words he didn't really understand.
Aww a coffee date! YAY! And Arnav is right..there is a confident air about her, I feel it too blowing in my face through the screen. She is what she wants to be..not fully but getting there. I like this transformation..you have kept it realistic as always!!
And obviously arnav cant stop himself now..
"Why do you think?"
This must be amazing to catchup and yet so awkward..when you dont know "what is off limits". And you pen it perfectly as usual and you bring out a "comfort level between us.."
And in mine and Arnav's excitement we forgot about what khushi was thinking about him also..
"I almost didn't recognize this man in front of me"
Yaaay cannot wait to see what arnav has been doing all this time, apart from phangirling over your FF's and getting some pointers from my comments obviously!
"I am afraid that words will fail me, and so I have decided to show her what I have done, while I waited for her return."
I am so happy you made them move out of shantivan, and that green house..nice idea!
It must be sooo difficult to write arnav khushi without the passion. I mean he has it and she can't bare it, still. I love how you handled this in the office and even now!
