NB,
What I like most about this story is the realistic way you paint the characters, the theme of the story. It provides a great insight to the way parents think, lovers think, friends think, society think, elders in the family think. and it all feels real than fiction. Khushi is just like a girl whom we come across in our daily life. Sometimes I can feel bit glimpses of me in her..that's why I was attracted to this story in the first place. As it progressed, I was more interested because her first experience with love with Arnav, the mistakes she made by denial, then pushing away, fighting and finally accepting the love everything can happen to any girl of her age...And now when you have taken the story along with Khushi's relationship to the next level, it shows the real picture...of course there is rosy rosy kind of things but along with it you do give the real hard facts of life too which a girl has to face in this so called modern world yet not so modern...
Honestly speaking there is a part of me which feels scared for Khushi...because of the prologue you have mentioned in this story..Also making parents understand about this unconventional way of living in their terms isn't easy. You are fighting with them to make them understand you while you urself don't have a guarantee of your relationship. Love is one thing, but it can fade away too, which happens in most of the cases..life long love is just a concept, of course love will be there but compromises are a part of life and people put up with those because they are committed together for a lifetime...But Arnav being Arnav, I am not sure...and not only Arnav, if you think from a guy's perspective, he too would have his own reasons which is justified and then we can't blame anyone. But sometimes I feel its the girl who is finally the looser...and especially a girl like Khushi who is emotionally nurtured, it would be hard on her...
Anyways, I will be following to see how you take this story forward...because I do look up to this story...it do teaches me many things too apart being a fictional entertainment...
