"Today she stands on the brink of womanhood, where she is neither a child nor a woman. A short lived twilight phase to gently transition the innocent brightness of a day into the intriguing beauty of a starry night. I can be the catalyst to this transition, but do I want to be? "

That is just the point, isn't it? And I admire Arnab for even questioning himself in this manner, rather than thinking on the lines of staking his claim over his rights as a "husband". Khushi is truly lucky, to have been married to a man as honorable as him in that time, a man who cares for her childhood.

The scene at the footsteps of the ghat was so serene and beautiful... lyrical. Enveloped in love and tenderness, that is a moment I am sure the two of them will treasure, a memory to revisit to get through the difficult times. And you also highlighted the fact that she possesses a sharp and astute mind, that is able to process and understand the things that are happening around her.. except perhaps the matters of the heart 😛 And Arnab has also noted this, another wonderful facet of his young wife.

Khushi's growth from the child with a doll, to this child-woman who feels like her Arnab's wife has been so seamless. Arnab has allowed her the time to naturally grow into this phase of life and now she has come to a point where she worships the ground he walks on. He has managed to earn her unwavering faith in him.

Oh, but the end! He was planning to take her with him earlier, right? And then this! My poor dear Khushi, and Arnab is also miserable without her. Will he take his bride with him this time? I'm worried... 😒

But the update was lovely, Jenny. I felt like I was basking in the glow of warm sunshine and a light breeze at the bank of a river, such is the beauty of your words 😊

PS - The Non-Cooperation was not unsuccessful, in fact it was far from it. It shook up the British forces. The reason for all the frustration was Gandhi's untimely revocation of the Movement following a violent incident at the Chauri-Chaura police station. Many (including me) still feel that had Gandhi not done that, India would have achieved independence a lot earlier.
