For me the highlight of the update was Shyam's statement: "Anju you have got to stop judging people. Just because a woman decides to live in with a man, it doesn't mean she isn't cultured. Your brother is the one who believe in this. How would feel if someone judged him?"
There, one of the many, many reasons I despised that movie Cocktail. One must distinguish between cultured, religious, traditional and well-behaved.
That's not to say I don't like Anjali, she is a lovely sister. And when dealing with a brother like ASR, one needs to meddle a little :D
I don't blame NK for reacting the way he did, anyone in his position would have drawn the same conclusions. To see something like that hurts your feelings, more so your ego. But what can I do, I am never able to see anything wrong in Arnav and Khushi kissing, thanks to the way you write it. It feels like that's the most natural thing to happen, just'right.
I love Payal and Aakash. Aakash for his silent understanding and Payal for being the voice of reason without being even remotely judgmental. Everyone should be blessed with a friend like her.
Now what is bugging me is your use of the term mirage in the last line. Why? What Arnav feels is very very real, and I understand that Khushi may think the possibility of a long term relationship with someone like Arnav a far fetched dream, yet ' mirage? An illusion?
I love this Khushi and trust her to handle this like an adult, with the support of Payal of course. Want to see what happens next.. Gabbar, when are you giving this greedy Kaalia Chapter 20?
I just realised there are a couple of typos in this line. let me edit.
I suck at proof reading.
And I agree with you on Cocktail. Its such a backward and misogynistic movie. the movie left a bad taste although DPad did an awesome job.
