Shadow was back. I was happy. Shadow was sad. I was sad too 😭 😭 😭 That wonderful little darling, he is also parting from someone he has come to love and the pain is just as intense. I want to hug him. Bas!

You know, I admire Khushi. She has a kind heart but her self respect and pride are in the right place. After an apology that sincere and heartfelt, complete with a bar of chocolate!, I would have melted in a jiffy. Not just forgive the man but also bury whatever it was that happened - knowing fully well that that probably isnt a good idea - at least not for myself. But Khushi... sigh. She has feelings for him, but she won't let him walk all over her - she holds her own and I just love that about her..

Arnav, the poor guy. He has way too many demons from his past - his life hasn't even begun and yet it has put him at a place where he cannot even enjoy the beauty of youth - of a carefree life, of first love.. of just enjoying life the way a young boy his age does. I feel really, really terrible for him. And when he did finally meet someone who touched his heart.. he went ahead and screwed it up. Why must life be so cruel to him dammit!

Separation is never easy.. and my heart is crying for the both of them. For all that could have been. But thankfully, like you said, life goes on. And I'll keep hoping 😊

Hmmm... so madam ji is there something you cannot write ! I highly doubt that.

I don't think i ever mentioned earlier but even your chapter headings are bang on.

The parts which focused on Khushi and Arnav respectively were absolutely perfect , nothing seemed out of place and forced... completely in character.

I have always loved how you show khushi as a grounded soul not getting carried away with the strong thrust of emotions coming her way.

And the entire families pampering over Khushi so cute...

Through out the update i was wondering whether Arnav will come to see her off or no.. u maintained that suspense very well...

And then he came with dairy milk... really i think ek hi jhatke main i accepted his apology there and then.

The tension between them before and after the argument brilliantly portrayed...

Khushi's mannerisms and little gestures like the duppatta thing , the way you described Arnav's look here all haggered and fatigued.. Absolutely loved Arnav's opening line and the way Khushi reacted.

And with this comes the imminent separation ...Looking forward to see where this is heading.

As much as i love Khushi here .. my heart goes out to Arnav more so because he is really in dire need of this companionship in the form of Khushi yet circumstances and the way his past has shaped up his present is not leting him give in to his desires... not yet , though i am sure the future will look up eventually.

Okay! This was just beautifully...sad.

Poor Khushi, I want to give her a hug. And then I want to hug my Kamadeva. And believe you me, I do not "get physical" with dogs. But Kamu is adorable and makes me want to have a dog of my own.

The scene where she was going away felt like her Bidai. Like really. There were tear-works too! And it broke my heart when Arnav refused to come to bid her farewell. But aisa kaise ho sakta hai, right? They HAD to meet!!

And I honestly I was glad when Aakash finally left her 😃 Now now... I knew...I wouldn't exactly witness a moment of exchange of words of love, but I just wanted them to be alone. And I LOVED the scene which followed Sandyy! I expected another round of nasty fight. I didn't expect Arnav to be this sweet to her, and it was a pleasant surprise.

I broke into a smile at the part where she sees the chocolate. How special it is for them! I loved his apology - sincere and genuine. And so sweet to be coming out of the lips of the same man who had broken her heart the night before.

For me...this has to be the sweetest separation scene ever!

But why did he have to be so freaking sweet? Now Khushi is going to have such a hard time forgetting about him. And I must mentioned here...that I simply loved how she held herself during the whole thing, with so much pride. I love this eighteen year old!

Until the next phase, Sandy, mera pyaar ❤️ and hugs 🤗 for these two kids, who are really gonna need a lot it during their separation phase.

Okay... now get them back together soon (along with passion, sexual tension, dhaks-dhaks and all that), okay? 😳😉

That was a beautifully penned poignant chapter capturing all the myriad emotiions that comprise a young girl's first heart break. All the emotions expressed either through words or via facial expressions and body language were so wonderfully described that it seemed to leap off the screen and surround our hearts too.

Ah...you are all set to extricate your ounce of tears from me, I can see that..!

Arnav is wallowing in guilt, remorse, self recrimination as expected and as he very well should, and if you add anger to the mix, those are the same emotions that swirling in Khushi's mind too.

Though for entirely different reasons.

Arnav, for being a callous, heartless brute who let a moment of anger to overpower his better senses and Khushi, for being a naive, gullible fool, who allowed her heart to prevail over her mind in a moment of weakness.

Sad, sad situation..!!

Feel sorry for both these kids..!!

And the last scene with the bar of chocholate, the almost palpable heartache, the lingering finger hold...BEAUTIFUL.

PS: Shadow is adorable..! Loved the scene where he is sniffing her clothes to commit them to memory..

I'm bawling like a bumbling idiot. I promise you, it doesn't become me. At this age, you would think I would be over the pangs of separation. Nope. Not even an iota.

My heart bleeds for them all. So sad that life has to be this harsh. First love should be about stolen kisses and furtive glances, of hiding and wanting to scream out aloud from the top of mountains. It should not be this...this gut wrenching pain that it is for them all.

Arnav - what an apology. I think I forgive him even if she didn't. Bad thing to do, I know. But look how he was hurting. And her, I applaud her for being so strong. No, no push over this Khushi - she knows her own respect means everything. And just like Arnav - I know she will do well in life. Because she has all the makings.

But you know what broke my heart the most. Shadow. I think I just want to gather him in my arms and hug him till his eyes shine naughtily again. And I am not even a dog person. Who am I kidding - I am. I just never had a Shadow to make me realize. Till today!

Heavy heart. Yes, I think I know what that is now. This has to be one of the most poignant separations I have read in a long time. And you know how sometimes people say you surpass yourself with each chapter. Hell, that is true.

Dawn ends with harsh sunlight, Sandhya. I feel like drawing the curtains till Noon is here with its warmth and that toe-curling languor that it should be.

Here is what made me cry the last time. And this was a decade and a half back! In essence the two are very different but...Dammit. I thought I had grown up.

Oh that one was a sad one! So they go their separate way?

I love they way how Khushi handle the whole situation. It was wrong of her to thing that she should stay away from all loving people because of Arnav and they don't deservers that but I can understand her felling. I love khushi for choosing her self respect and didn't give up that for Arnav.

Why is it Impossible for Arnav and he is leaving for good? I really didn't expect Arnav to come.

Glad that he said sorry to her, felt even little sorry for him. sometimes he have no control over what he does. His past is not letting him be the man he want be.

So when will they meet again?

I love Shadow😳

Sandy, you made me cry early in the morning.

Don't know who cried more, me or Khushi.

First the update, then the song! One of my all time favourites.

And I have to say, I don't know any first time writer, who could make me laugh and then cry like you do. Take a bow! 👏

The whole scene when she bids them goodbye was lovely.

And it was so real.

The Raizadas think she will come back every year, but she knows it is the last time she has come yo their place. One could actually feel her emotions. And the way, in spite of herself, her eyes were searching for Arnav. Doesn't this happen when you love someone. In spite of the hurt he has inflicted upon her, she still wants to see him once before leaving.

And then he came. Loved the significance of the Cadbury Milk chocolate.

And he qpologised. Beautiful scene. The way they shook hands, and their fingers wouldn't let go.

And Shadow. He is so cute. He doesn't want her to go. He hates suitcases. Won't we see him again? That hurts me the most. If Khushi doesn't go back to the Raizadas, we won't see Shadow again. Hope we do.

And then SRK and the lovely song in the end. Loved the update. My Diwali treat. Thankyou, Sandy, for giving us DND.

well well,what an update Sandhya,

i like kushi ,her thoughts about arnav and what happened between them ,her analysation,feel good to read at her age she is beyond matured, first crush ,that too ended in a bitter way as of now, she did not share this to anya, may be in future ...liked the way she masked her emotions , and say bye to every one...

so payaliya is going to med school,interesting ...

arnav ,arnav, poor guy,struggling with past, all things happened at tender age, it will impact on life,some people move on,some people hold ,arnav nature is like that possessive,strong pride,he is nice person but all these other things will lead him first...i must say i liked his apology, what he did is wrong ,but at the end he did come ,he thinks he did not care for kushi,but he cares a lot... iam sure kushi's words has strong impact on him in future...

hayey he gave chocolate for peace offering how cute, liked their train conversation...and arnav suggestion stay away from guys like me kushi and don't every change...it clearly shows how much he cares...

Happy diwali to you and your family sister! :) :)

Now to the update? Such an intense, emotionally drained update!

Good bye! Adios, tschs! Such simple words but with a great load of meaning in it!

Hard to depart from the loved ones indeed! Both their inner turmoil was hard to read but definitely one has to be blind to not see it!

I pity them! One wants to thread the waters knowing its dangerous! One cannot thread the water because he is dangerous! Hmm!

The family and shadow! Aww! Loved them all!

I was wondering how will he not turn up to see her one last time!

Chocolate was cute! But I'm not going to say anything about his apology or how they parted!

But this makes me wonder then how did the prologue scene come up? Hmm!

Cheers ka :)
