The struggle of a sensitive man to adjust to becoming party to child marriage, his thinking of the ethics and rights and wrongs of society, personal and public, is brought out so well. I see here a reflection of how Rabindranath Tagore himself struggled with a similar marriage.

That was briiliant! :)
Stirred the emotions outta me considering the insufferable age the girls were married off ... and to top it to a man much much older in age!

My heart was heavy reading the innocent gestures and talks ... and it cried reading her fears of being all alone after the family had been washed away! that was touching!
But thankfully Thami was there for her! :)

I already love the Arnav sorry Arnab you have created in here Jenny!
Okie so what is he gonna do now? its understood that he will try to put in distance from her ... either by he himself going away... or sending her somewhere!
Hmm and their reunion then would be after years perhaps!?

Lets see what you planned! :)

A lovely portrayal of the period based pre-Independence Jenny! Waiting for the meant for each other phase to start! :)

Jenny, a very sweet update... Loved little Khushi, her innocence & childlike behavior was both endearing & sad at the same time... Loved to see Arnav feeling so protective about her & wanting to safeguard her childhood... Very, very sweet :)

awww!! I'm gonna grab Khushi and kiss her cheeks tightly! She's such a doll! :D I can't think how weird it must be for Arnab to think of a thirteen year old as his wife! I mean it was common in those days but still, our man thinks way ahead of his times! :D

Awww!! I simply adored the update :D It was super cute :D

I've been waiting for an update for a while! I was super excited for this story

It scary how Khushi doesn't really know what's in store for her. Poor Arnab thinks he's like a pervert, his family seems pretty noisy so I know they are going to force Arnab to do something he doesn't want to do. I just want him and Khushi to get out of there

Jenny, you cannot possibly bring such a wonderful story to us and drop the bomb about it being only 4-5 chapters! It should at least make it a 25 chapters FF. ;)

Oh the hues of life. Our past such a reminder about how far we have come today. The tradition of underage marriage is finally breaking, but we still see such marriages happening. If only we talk about the problems, maybe we could bring awareness. I am glad you are writing this story.

I loved how Arnav described his feelings towards Khushi, platonic, almost-brotherly protectiveness. I wonder if that's exactly how men viewed their young brides. He is a fighter, a rebel more like it, fighting against the norms of the society.

And Khushi, the sweet heart is just learning to grow. She is young, naive and innocent. It's her time to play with the dolls and run around the house with mischief. Yet, she is forced to learn to cook and sew, and the poor girl has no complaints. Bless her heart.
