[COMPLETED] A Word's Worth # 2: Link to Thread # 3 on Page 153 - Page 2

Meera, I am in awe.

I don't know what is left for me to say about the brilliance of your writing, you're thought, your concept, characters ( i love that they have shades..make them seem more realistic ! .) and the small gestures and details that make your updates such a visual delight! Loved the banner by Iron Butterfly and the name of the chapter so appropriate!

The layers are slowly getting peeled and the mystery being unrevealed and captivating us further and further'.yes the spamming is going to increase, if the quality of the updates is such'

Love the scene between Ashima and Khushi, Khushi came across as a meek and very guilty and confused girl, who was not sure if she should lash out at Ashima or keep things inside like she has been, I actually feel bad for her living in the guilt, it's easy for Ashima to say that has long absolved her of any wrong doing and does not hold her responsible knowing her husband like she did, but living with Ashima made to feel she owes her gratitude and her behavior and attitude must have made her continue to live in guilt'..I do like Khushi, finally giving her a piece of her mind about the blame of a failed marriage being shared by both people in the marriage!

She realizes that the reason she falls into Mr. Majumadar trap is because of the kind of person Ashima is selfish, cold and heartless, and so it was easy to believe him'..so did Khushi know he was married? And did she just fall for his manipulating, wondering if that was reason enough '.how nave is nave? I did say that something happened between Ashima's husband and Khushi to make her feel guilty but I thought it was probably orchestraed by Ashima once again to use in her writing'.Am not judging till we know the full story, feel there are parts still not revealed.

But it's the guilt that has gotten Khushi to dedicate 3 years of her life, working behind the scenes, at her beck and call..to work for Ashima, when she could have been a writer on her own merit''

So Ashima saying she does not need a lifeless Khushi, one that seems mellow and melancholy all the time affecting her work, creating an ambience that was not conducive for writing...and now that she feels she has no more contribution to make, with the plot discovered she is letting her go? Or like she says does Khushi can figure out her reasons for herself, is she actually doing her a favour, not sure why I think she is..I guess she had figured out Arnav's attraction for Khushi a while back and saw Khushi come alive around him and now wants Khushi to go live her life''instead of just doing what she is doing and punishing herself'.I wonder if Ashima ever intended to sleep with Arnav or did she want to rile Khushi and see some sparks?

Also she feels threatening by Khushi, something about her that drew men to her, without her trying'.or was that her charm? She knew her husband was a sleaze ball and she was happy to use what happened with Khushi as her reason to get rid of him'. Khushi having slept with him'.wow'.that was big and feels guilt about her involvement with him, is her anger towards Arnav's Casanova image a reminder of what happened with her and Mr. Majumadar and is it disappointment and anger at herself which she is takes out on him? Or what would explain her lectures on his morality or lack of them? Was it hitting too close to home'?

For what it's worth I am glad Khushi is free, actually she needs to absolve herself to be free. So interesting to see how and that happens'.I am sure Swami will play a crucial role directly or indirectly..

I wonder if Ashima, expects Khushi to turn to Arnav'..and if this is yet another move in her human game of chess'? But I for one don't know if want her to go to him under these circumstances. Plus does she know where he stays?

So now going back to his house, him out of a shower, I mean that image, water still trickling down his body, he slipping into shorts, just too delicious and tempting, love how in properly ASR style he barks on the phone the moment he answers it and love the detail of putting it on speaker so he could change'.so now he is interestingly not using Imran's professional interest in Khushi as an opportunity to meet her, I loved their conversation though, very witty, love the sarcasm and the humour'..love the camaraderie they share, the marriage versus single discussion and the date with Afiya, ha ha'..thoughts of Khushi still driving him crazy ,love how to get some normalcy he messages his mother about seeing them'..or keeping himself busy not to have to think of her, or the comfort and familiarity of home'.

So now waiting for him to open the door and it be revealed who is mystery guest is. I have given some options too' (Page 6) but it is not fair to keep us waiting till Friday'..really not'.

Once again Meera, you have spun your words around to make them worthy indeed'just cannot get enough'..
