Happy Diwali! :D first!

i read the chapter, first thing in the morning and did not comment immediately.. i dnt remember, if i commented in the day..but now that am sitting here, wanted to say, this one was heart- touching.. we have known, so far, this khushi thinks about everyone and is sensible.. its proved again, when the first thing she thought was: i bought this upon me..so true,sometimes in life we all do it..its not that she is regretting it, but she is understanding the whole process of pain, for him and for her..

and although, i did not expect this arnav to say sorry to her, u surprised me, wonderfully. cause he did what he could. However, i hate him for breaking her heart, more.. but as we know, story is yet to move ahead, so we will know things in future, but its still heartbreaking. He gave her a lesson and now i am worried about the poor girl..

wow!

and, cannot wait to read more..like i keep on commenting on most of the stories, wish we all know what happens next! but hey, take ur time with festivities. I am going to miss Diwali this year too, being in some other country! but can enjoy in whatever small ways, I can. In the meantime, i was thinking of reading the story again, due to this particular chapter! so see ya! Happy Diwali, once again! shall enjoy it! :D

I feel so bad for Khushi. She has to go through all this, all her hopes broken in a span of a single night!
Arnav is a jerk. He behaved so rudely with her and then tells Nani that he won't be able to see Khushi off being busy. 😡
Khushi was trying hard to not think about him but it was difficult, actually impossible.
I loved Shadow who was showing his feelings in his own way. Who knew Khushi, who was scared of pets, would come to love Shadow so much! Everyone from the family had been so loving with her, taking absolute care of her and treating her like one of their own.
Arnav hates being out of control and that's how he behaves when he understands that someone has power over him, his emotions. He punished Khushi for no fault of hers.
I'm glad that he acknowledged his mistake and went to meet Khushi before saying the goodbye. I hope it's not the final goodbye and they meet once again at some point of life. He was right in saying that Khushi had no fault because when someone hurts,forces someone every other mistake appears tiny in front of it.
Wasn't it an irony what Arnav told Khushi before leaving. He asked her to stay away from guys like him and then he asked her not to change. These two things together don't seem possible.
I loved how Khushi stood her ground, though she couldn't stop herself from asking one question, but she held herself in a very dignified manner and I loved it about her and you for writing it. Khushi is not here to take non-sense from him. Period!!

First of all thank you for a very long update, always a pleasure to read this story.

The update was amazing, yet quite emotional and heart breaking.

Awww felt so sorry for Khushi she was so heart broken remembering all her moments from the day before with Arnav.

I'm glad Arnav felt guilty and he regretted his actions and behaviour against Khushi.

The emotional farewell when Khushi left the family was so sad,

I'm loving Akash he is so sweet and loved his kind words towards Khushi and I can't wait for him to meet Payal.

Wow Arnav actually turned up in the train to meet Khushi and apologise, Khushi was left stunned.

I'm glad he did apologise properly and took all the blame but it's a shame he could not answer khushi's question.

Well I've loved phase one of Khushi and Arnav it has been amazing but ended on a sad note and it's true what you said life does go on.

Loved the update it was a brilliant read,

Thanks for the PM,

Eagerly waiting for the next part,

Happy Diwali, hope you have a wonderful time xx

thank goodness he went to see her at the station. Phew! I was so worried about him not saying goodbye to her that I was biting my nails throughout. I don't know where his senses came back from but I'm glad he apologized buy I so badly wish he'd hugged her, why didn't he hug her, one last embrace, no? anyway, beautifully written chapter sweetheart, keep up the good work :)

You asked me to look at you,

but I couldn't.

My desire was too evident,

my emotions were too raw,

Was it self preservation that had been working?

You asked me to look at you

but I couldn't.

These sensations were heady,

these feelings were too intoxicating

Was it embarrassment I had felt?

You asked me to look at you

but I couldn't.

I had to mask my eyes which said

I had been swept off my feet

Was it the first blush of love I had felt?

You asked me to look at you

and this time I did.

But you wouldn't look back at me,

no matter how much I begged!

Was it heartbreak I wondered?

But even as I asked, I knew the answer

I already knew...

The last chapter made me write the above few lines. My words sound rusty and I don't know what I was trying to say but I hope I have said it anyway.

Despair can't be more aching and dreadful than that of a failed first love,can it?

I think DND is breaking my heart, Sandy.

But this, for me, will be the sunset necessary to bring about a new dawn.

So here I am.

And here I'll be.

Much love,

Delilah

ps- How can I forget the song? This one's my new favourite-

khushi has come such a long way from not liking dogs to loving shadow so much.
shadow was the best part of the chapter. my poor baby.

being the true romantic that i am, i thought khushi might just hug arnav and they will initiate a long distance relation and when it did happen i asked myself to come back to earth from my lallaaa land and assess it rationality. so rationally speaking its good that khushi did not exactly forgive him so easily and took a stand for herself.

now we will have to see what the future have in store for us, waiting.

Thank you for the pm - which was a wonderful surprise.

I like your Khushi - she has remarkable strength of character and integrity. Even though she was hurt and missing him, she was clear eyed about Arnav - and it was her disappointment in him that was the most hurtful. She had adored him and he let her done. Her comment to him about violence was telling and he understood the magnitude of his actions then. Given how young she is - she is wise enough to realise that it is not good to be involved with the dark side of Arnav.

I thoroughly enjoy how you capture the pain, attempts to mask the pain, and self chastisement on both their parts.

Loved Shadow :-)

Happy Diwali to you and your loved ones

You should have started this update with this warning " Heartbreaking update coming up... Please keep a Cadbury chocolate next to you which you can eat after reading the update and feel happy"

Seriously this one left me with a huge lump stuck in my throat... A part of me would have actually preferred that the fight they had was the last conversation they had before Khushi left... Anger is a lot easier to deal with rather than the pain of losing someone...

Now that Arnav has apologized, btw what an apology that was, all Khushi is left with is this sense of loss and rejection... The way Khushi was trying to be brave while saying good bye to him was painful to read... 😭 I know what Arnav did was the right and realistic thing to do, but that still doesnt make the situation any better... Sigh... I know they will meet again but I still felt bad for this teenage Khushi who had her heart broken...

Then the song in the end... It just seemed perfect for the update👏

Cant wait to see how and when they meet again...😊 11th cant come soon enough...

Happy Diwali to you too!!!!!

As good byes go, this one delivered every last poignant, unspoken and yet heartfelt and communicated emotion and in one word...was perfect. Two people who want to cling to each other right down to their fingertips lingering on that last touch as the hands are separating...what a visual!!!!

He has demons that she can not imagine and he is the one walking away while she gathers up her self respect, her survival instinct and her broken heart, ready to walk the other way. I was really angry at him and he totally melted my heart with that honest apology. Nicely done.

You did extract the tears from me that you set out to.

I will honestly say that I did not care for shadow initially and yet he has made. Place in my heart by now. He truly expressed how I felt that she had to leave. But that is life...it has a way of moving on with or without your other half!
