Hundred times sorry for the late comment, in fact I hate myself for being so late especially when the chapter was so GREAT. And you know why : Dadi is my favourite character of this FF along with Ranvijay.
This chapter was very well written, I'm absolutely pleased to see that you haven't done any anachronism. In fact you took us in the 50s wth some little references like the telegram or the phone. You amazed me once more, because your descriptions were just perfect.
Claire and Raphael love story was beautiful. I can't imagine that Dadi was such a girl who would fall at the first sight. At the beginning when you mentioned her age I was a bit apprehensive, as Raphael was an adult and Claire was only a teenage but then you managed to not make this love story too weird. (kinda reminded of my own grand parents 😆)
Being a big Agatha Christie fan, I admire British women of that era and I can assure you that Claire is just loyal to the image I have of British Ladies : rectitude, curiosity, mischief, and the love she has for her family.
As you call Raphael Pineapple man, despite myself I imagine him like a character I love but who doesn't suit at all to Raphael character (>> Shikamaru because of his hair style 😆)
Anyway I'm sure I would have fallen easily for Raphael too (beside his name is soo romantic 😳)
Ranvijay was awesome in this chapter, and I couldn't stop myself from drooling over him because of your description 'Ranvijay drawled, winking at the old woman','Ranvijay smiled cheekily'
,'Ranvijay asked sadly','Ranvijay smiled sheepishly, his eyes twinkling worse than love struck teenagers '(🤣🤣),'Ranvijay asked mischievously, cocking his eyebrow' ... and many more 😉.
I think you want to make me forget Aman, and if you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll succeed !
Anyway I love Ranvijay and Claire bonding and they're officially partners in crime 😆😆
Arthur and Naina love story was so simple and plain. Within a few hours everything was settled.
We only had some glimpse of Arnav and Khushi in this chapter, but it was beautifully done through Ranvijay and Dadi's eyes. Mamiji is very smart and so I'm a bit afraid of her. Even if I love her, she's the kind of woman who talks without knowing how much her words can hurt, and I'm afraid she hurts Khushi.
And thanks for the last part, I think it should be anough for me 😉😉
I loved this trip through time because you did it very well !
