Okay so my hunt with new and interesting Arhi FFs ended here --- I was reading your work for the first time, so I was going with an open mind, did not know what to expect. A few things about your writing --- very sensitive, realistic at some times, emotionally driven but practically viable, definitely worth reading!
Now your characters --- I love how you showed Arnav as a real human being, and not some angry young man going around doing despicable things and still not getting punished for what he did. No your Arnav is real, very much like a sincere man with flaws he cannot help but still decides to change himself, asks in fact begs for a second chance.
Khushi is shown a strong independent woman, who wont even take one incident of manhandling in a good way, I will clap for you just for showing that, because I always thought that strong willpower missing the show's Khushi. She is not just today's woman with her own power and courage, she is also sensitive, expects to be loved in return, and wants to cherish the loving words spoken to her, in a way she is like all women, with dreams and aspirations, but does have her own character, a very strong, determined one.
I also loved how you showed them going out, slowly settling themselves for each other, knowing what they had been through I wasn't expecting an easy second chance, so I really like how every scene of them after that made sense.
All your supporting characters also did have their own flaws and strengths, and you did a good job at balancing all of it.
This story had drama, emotions, sensitivity, redemption done right, and a lot more![Although I love stories where A and K have a crackling chemistry right from start, or an explosive meeting where they are aware of each other right from the beginning, but I think this approach is more realistic, esp when you were showing Arnav already in love with someone else. I liked the uniqueness of it.]
I am glad you started writing NB, and I am happy you are not stopping anytime soon. I was contemplating which of your stories do I start reading first - chose this because it was shorter(I hardly have time these days) and its completed, meaning no anxiety of waiting for next update lol.
It was a really good experience to read the story, and looking forward to reading more of your writing.
