I really liked your story! The contrast between the maturity levels of Arnab and the childish love that Khushi has for him are so cute <3 I love how while you spin your story, you bring up ideas and societal norms of that time and how while they were considered right, it truly wasn't. I really appreciate how Arnab sees Khushi as more that someone that can cook for him and have his children-he sees her as her own person, and thats what causes him to view her with such protectiveness. He wants her to have a fulfilling childhood, and doesn't want to be the reason why her childhood would be stolen from her.
I'm not too sure how I feel about Arnab's mother. While in the beginning I felt that she was in a way a victim to her husbands ostentatious behavior and his dallying of pleasures, she is so unfair to Khushi! That's probably just the feminist in me speaking though-it would probably be expected of Khushi to stop playing with her dolls by that age. I love Thammi! She's such an awesome character :) I bet Khushi truly feels as though she's the second mother to her, especially after her own mother died. My heart broke a bit when at the end of last chapter, when Khushi asks Thammi how one becomes a woman. Poor Khushi, she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time! Arnab must have truly scarred her innocence with his words as well-it wasn't as though it was her fault! Stupid Parbati.
And Arnab! I can't believe you ended the chapter at such a cliff hanger! You've made it pretty clear that he doesn't approve of his father's visits of the brothels of Calcutta, and his indulgence in such activities. I think he's going to come back isn't he? He won't be able to go through with an act of spending the night with a woman, because then where would he be different than his father? Especially because he wants to be seen a revolutionary, one that truly struggles for the New India. So enthralling! Can't wait for the next update!
