Book 1, and here we embrace a new beginning.

We humans are pretty complex even with the same no of physical attributes, we are all so very different.

Arnav couldn't bring himself to commit.
And Khushi couldn't bring herself to stand up, for herself.


Who loved more? Or who loved Less is a personal prerogative. For me. I think Arnav did right. I've mentioned it in previous comment also. He saved Himself and Khushi from bigger pains that could have followed.

As for Khushi, being an adult, being independent doesn't counts for being mature and strong.
I'm not blaming her too. Love is over whelming, especially for a yound mind and a winged heart, its a high-flyer.

But i hope, in Book 2 she steers her life the way she wants, not for the world, because at the end, it spares none, not for her parents, at the end they want their child happy and certainly not for someone else..

Its actually funny, how even after centuries, we all still believe in Barter system - that we'll get something in return. Its Reality, that eventually hurts and its the hurt that paves way for happiness however small it may be. :)

Book-2, waiting for its arrival.

i felt that ilahi from yeh jawaani hai deewaani was a suitable song for arnav here
and will you be pming the link or putting it on a post?

i hope you update just as quickly as you have now, it was great!!!
the story did not go as i expected, but the way it ended was amazing, and emotional and i can't wait to get a peak into arnav and khushi's 10 year journey to what characters they have become
.

hypocritically, i hope arnav hasn't been in other relationships and sleeping around, whilst i hope khushi to do the same. i don't know why, maybe to even out the balance of experiences and because i feel that the whole thing has a had a more damaging impact on khushi, than arnav. I think khushi should leave her parents, and stop thinking about what they think all the time, because half of the mess was because of her being scared about what they think and pleasing them. it's high time she became an independent woman.

In a way am glad that Arnav let go Kushi even though he knew what it meant..never to see her again...but if he married her..then too, he would never have kept her happy...But the heart break Kushi underwent had me reeling..even though i felt it is for her best...But loving someone unconditionally, and not then feeling let down is never good..
Thanks NB for these wonderful characters who are true to themselves and you kept them real...thanks once again for sharing your story with us..Am glad that i was there in this bumpy ride :)

Am looking forward to book II ..their life ten years later...how much have been changed...will Kushi have found her love and married..and will Arnav still yearn for her?!..Can't wait to start reading it...Hope you will sent the blog link soon..🤗

Hey

This is entirely different story of Arshi.

After a leap of ten years, Arnav may realise he need a companion in the form of wife. You knows better.

Basanti, you are a gifted story teller. Chasing Dreams was amazing and the last few chapters leading to the end were gut-wrenching. I really liked the way the story ended...this is close to reality. Such people exist and life goes on ...with or without. Girls suffer society's lashing and Men walk around finding solace and answers...both suffer in different worlds.

After the last chapter I was at a loss for words but after having thought about it and having read end of book 1 I believe that for this Arnav and this Khushi in this story there was no other way out. You are absolutely right - if both partners are not a 100% invested in the marriage it can not be successful.
Wonderfully written story even though it has made me feel really sad right now.
Looking forward to book 2.

Please do let me know when the blog is up.
