jahnvi.luvs.ASR - *facepalm* YOU BROUGHT ASR WITH YOU TO COME SEE MY STORY??? Aah! I love you for that gif. Mind you, I almost neglected to see what you had actually written in my drool-mode. (Not my fault! :p) Thank you for your enthusiasm. You're a lovely, lovely person. (Read: Buttering to bring ASR more often. ;))

farhannish - Aha! You pointed out two Very Important Things: 1) Nobody can escape ASR's charm! ;) 2) Mahek can talk to Aman about it. (Yes, definitely!) Thanks for commenting!

hiahmed - Oh. Sorry for disappointing you yet again. Mundane, eh? Hmm. Thank you for your opinion.

_disha_ - Ooh, Khushi buckling under pressure? Don't worry, I think our Jalebi can handle ASR's building-full of suave charm! ;) I hope. :D

yush-swt - Thank you for the encouragement! What can't you understand about Mahek? See, to her, all she knows about ASR is the part she sees sometimes at work, office-gossip, tabloids, etc. Well, it's clear that whatever she's heard or seen does not give Arnav a favourable impression in her eyes. She likes to care, but sometimes, people can get too involved with people they care about, isn't it? Some of us restrict ourselves, some can't. That's where she comes in. About Arnav being able to change, well, do you think he needsto change? That what Mahek says is actually true? Think. ;)

lakharnshi88 - Dear, no need to "Res" before you comment. Because I might forget to check it! Yes, I'm getting forgetful with age. :D No, really, just take your own sweet time and comment when you finish reading and are ready to write. :) LOL, I like the way you question the existence of Khushi's brain! Hmm... Let me get this clear. Do you want Samar "to be the haddi in the ready to cook kebab!! "? :D

dilectus - Hay Devi Maiya! Bacha liya apne! Thank goodness I wrote all those sorrys! :DWarna pakka data parti! I'll do it this time too! Sorry, sorry, sorry! :D You know what, you're really awesome for even bothering to go look up the earlier thread to see what the story was about! If it were me, I assure you I wouldn't have cared to. So a big, big hug for being the nice person you are. By the way, Chapter 21 kaisa laga? :D (I'm sorry, I crack poor jokes when I'm nervous. Nervous that I'll get scolded this time for sure!)

segad - "is mahek the right person to be giving relationship advice? thought just popped in my head " A very apt thought. And I admire you for thinking it. Would you consider it plagiarism or thought-stealing if I chose to use this thought of yours in some chapter? It's so blissful to have intelligent readers! ;)

rulama - Alrighty! (For the first part) Arnav accompanying Khushi on-stage with Samar standing there too? Ahem. Will think. ;)

Samyxx - "I hope Arnav cherishes what he has... " Very succinctly put. Thanks for commenting. :) Oh, and I really like your dp.

MrsSanayaBSobti - Oh my! That long a comment? Wow. I really like the thoughts you've put forward - very observant ones. He doesn't just have a Di at home, he also has a Jijaji, if you read carefully. I'm pleased you like the use of Mahek's character here. Yes, I know what you're talking about. I've read those plots and that's when I started thinking that Pagli Khushi needs to have atleast some sensible-enough mind to help her along. I mean, everybody needs a "person", don't they? Hence, Mahek. About the question you want Arnav to be asked - I'll see what I can do if manage to remember about it when a fitting situation arises! I'll try for sure. Thanks for commenting!

Fari - Haha! Farijaan, your comments are always sweet and entertaining! Arey, if our Arnavbabua has an aunt that keeps saying "Hello Hi Bye Bye" all the time he's around her, what else do you think he would be prone to do when he's out of things to say? ;) :D Hain na? Ooh.. Looks ke peeche hi pad gayi tum! Hmm, badmaash ban gayi tum! (LOL, my Hindi's awful now!) Oh, and party jab FF khatam ho jaye tab doongi. Thanks for the repeat telecast of "CONGRATULATIONS"! :D :D

voldemort - Very interesting comment. "and the best part is arnav dsnt have to try tooo hard to get her attention...that keeps arnavs character intact " Thanks for commenting, Riddle! ;)

crazy4ArnavSR - Meg, thank you for spotting my typo! I don't usually proof-read, but it seems I shall have to begin doing that now! Samar is Samar. He's good and bad, nice and annoying, and only human, with lots of shades. I hope it clears things a little. Thank you for that praise for and about Mahek! Sure, you can come along! We can grab a table that gives us a good view of them (of course, you get to look at Arnav's face, my sacrifice as the writer :p)!

saga_twilight - Hehe, I love how you are so sympathetic towards Mahek. *wink* Oh, Saga! A lot of things take backseat for a lot of girls when it comes to Arnav Singh Raizada!! You know what the best thing about writing about ArShi is? You can mentally drool over Barun/Arnav all day and still put it to productive use! :D Congratulations on finishing your exams, I hope you've done well! Barun wallpapers? Let me tell you a secret, girl. *attention, phangirl speaking* My phone's gallery is chock-full of his pictures and when my phone warns me that it's memory is too full, I delete anybody else's pictures but not his. I so love him! :)

Rhysenn - Did I ever mention I find your name fascinating? Well, I do. :) Your inference as to why Mahek doesn't trust Arnav is pretty right. After all, our opinion of people depends on our perspective of them, isn't it? About tripping and falling into Arnav's arms? Well, I will put that in if there is any space for it. :) Oh, that actual scene in IPKKNd! The very first Rabba Ve!! *sigh*

bhaktii - I seem to suddenly remember that you have been with me since Lying Beneath... isn't it? Oh, thank you for your time and support! Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

AbdulloveIPKKND - Oh, no, no. Relationships as strong as that between siblings can't be ruined that easily. There'll be the occasional bickering (or maybe, frequent), the brilliant fights, but in the end, a sister's a sister. And you can always make up, isn't it? Well, I have an older, way older brother, so I don't really know what it is like to have a sister, so that's just what I think.

Jyothim78 - She overheard him saying Khushi's name to himself alone in his room. Does that make it clear? Thanks for commenting!

ShrutiPandey - I loved every word of your bubbly, cheerful comment! You picked out my favourite moments of the chapter and brought out what the most important thing was - that the decision was probably already made somewhere in their hearts! Because it's just not Khushi who made a decision that day, Arnav did too. :)

rana5 - Think positive, girl, think positive. And even if something bad does happen, Khushi Kumari Gupta knows very well how to get back up, doesn't she? Think positive. :)

Torr- That was a serious and thoughtful comment and I really liked it. That's true, you need to look below the layer of dust on the cover of an old forgotten book to know what it is about. (Bad analogy but I can't think of anything but books nowadays!) "Well nobody said Love was easy that is why it chances very few. " That's a wonderful way of putting the sentiment. Thanks for commenting!

bewuster - Don't be so angry on Khushi. She isn't being easy, she's just experimenting with life and her judgement. Do you really want to make her cry? Do you think she deserves that? Do you think that Arnav is truly all of what Mahek puts him down to be? About Samar. He'll confuse you, like he's confused the others. He's got shades, and loads of grey; well, some people are just made that way! (Oh. That rhymed. Hah! :D)

ssj236 - Glad to have you back! Thank you for both the comments, Impatient!! I'm blushing like Khushi at the shower of praise you drop upon me everytine you comment! Thanks!

bea-rom - Hello and Welcome! Glad to see you here. :) Well, "tethered" is the past tense of the word "tether", which, if used as a noun, is to refer to a rope, thread or any link that binds, so as to restrict movement, limiting the circumference of motion. It also means "limit" if used as a verb. To relate to this story, I'll give you a simple example. Take two balls of any flexible substance, say, plasticine and make sure you affix them to a plane by, say, glue or something, so that they areimmovable. Take a thread and loop the two ends around each ball. Now, take hold of the thread near to one ball and try to pull. Since the balls are affixed but the body is changeable, the thread around the other ball will leave marks from the tension of the thread. Did I just push you into a fog or am I lucid to you? Hmm?

(Highlighted because some of the others might have the same question.)

chochoo (YOU TOO?!), nishi22, LeenaRocks (What are these Arhasians doing here?? Anyway, hi! ), Apoorvarani, sonia_92, ala-ala matwala barfi (Sorry, couldn't help it! Cute choice, but. ;)), malinim - Welcome, dearies! I'm happy that you have decided to join in the reading of this story too. Will look forward to having you here!
