Khushi's conversation with her friend was so honestly portrayed...she has never felt this way before and she's confused about her feelings for this enigmatic man. Yes, she's definitely attracted to him, but she's also affected by him, and she doesn't know why.
Arnav is just as equally affected by Khushi. I get that he's a broken man; so he's taking himself out of the equation as he doesn't want to mess with Khushi...but at the end of the day, he can't stay away from her, which is why he is compelled to join her on the beach.
The ease in which he described his past to Khushi shows that he's comfortable around her and that she is someone he can trust.
Definitely was not expecting a kiss, but wow, you incorporated it in the chapter so nicely.
Now you leave us with a cliffhanger of sorts!!! So please update soon!
