Hi
I just completed reading your ff and it has literally left me speechless. Wow I am so overwhelmed that I am at a loss to seriously comment on the story itself. As usual your stories are essentially about love but with all its complexities, and grounded in reality. I do appreciate fluff and romance, but i like to read and think about stories of your kind too. Since the start of the ff I was not a real fan of this Arnav there is not much about this character that attracts me. I don't understand why Khushi fell for him so badly. Love is truly blind.. I do agree that it was better to cancel the wedding than to go ahead with it when he is so reluctant to commit. Back to his character, the behaviour of his drunken friends, the lecture from his nani and angali should not have affected his fundamental attitude towards matrimony one way or the other. He is such a weak character in the matters of the heart. I am so sad to know that you know someone like him. Honestly I felt no connection or sympathy for this character...however Khushi is another story. She is so vulnerable, pushed and shoved in so many directions by so many people. I am so sympathetic towards her, is she ever going to get unconditional love where someone is going to put her before himself and his beliefs?
On the one hand I do want the story to end here with some hint that Khushi has moved on and is happy, and I do not care what happens to Arnav, and on the other I cannot wait to read The Second Book of this ff.
Finally thank you for not letting such an interesting ff and us in a limbo. I hope everything is fine in the home front.
Waiting patiently for the saga to continue.
Thank you for writing so well and keeping us all so enthralled.

i must have read this chapter so many times, and every time it makes me want to cry.
i somehow have got myself to feel sorry for arnav and see how much he loves khushi and hopefully will keep loving her. i hope he does the chasing this time.

I recently came across the story and read it completely.
I really liked this intense love story.
All the characters may it be Khushi , Arnav or then Anjali all are very neatly and thoughtfully drawn with all their characteristics and flaws too.

The main USP of this FF is its well planned plot which keeps flowing effortlessly and involve reader with interest.
Then there is Arnav's character. Just hats off to you 👏 You designed it so intricately with many different layers . He is well mannered , jovial ,caring and helping but he has some strong beliefs and he never let go off them for anything. There was very small line on which his character rides through whole story. There was so much possibility that you have crossed that line and that could have messed his character. But you handled it so efficiently that really impressed me.


What I liked most here is Khushi. Her journey from an immature, inexperienced small town girl to smart, strong woman was beautiful. It kept me hooked to the story. Her incapability of either taking firm decision or then sticking to those, need to keep pleasing everyone were driving points. And you wrote perfectly how her those flaws left her vulnerable at the end. Really beautiful.


The end was unusual from normal happily ever afters and it pained me to no end to see both Arnav and Khushi like this. But I think it was the only appropriate ending of the story. If you had made Arnav to marry Khushi then it would have gone against the whole story line.

Thank you for offering me a wonderful experience of reading.

Keep writing 👍🏼

Had not garima made that call to nani, and he is not forced upon ths. atleast the pain would be much lesser without this much hatred and harsh events. i m jus kinda numb to feel sumthng.

Chap 40...
I am glad with Khushi's reactions..She is right...I did nt expect her to jump in joy upon Arnav's proposal...and she did not disppaoint me...I am glad with Arnav's point...He is bheaving like a sincere honest and true gentleman...Their hug on terrace was heart warming...Garima's reaction was of a frustrated mother trying hard for happiness of her child and her child trying to ruin that chance at happiness...And message in last was too good...
Going to read Chap 41...

Chap 41

Simply Awessome...Basantii this touch of reality in ur story is too appealing..I feel myself lost in it whil wondering that this is true...Honestly I hate extravagant weddings...I dont believe in gathering too many guests (who are always complaining) on a personal matter...:)
I totally agree with Arnav...
But I think Arnav n Khushi both need to lose themselves a bit and take chance in what life is going to throw at them...Arnav is hesitant about marriage as a whole and Khushi is also reluctant about placing trust in Arnav...
Now I am going to read Chap 42...:)
p.s I dont get it why married people or couples are hell bent on making unmarried people realize the drawbacks of marriage...Either they are too much fed up of their marital life or I am a naive dumb,,hopeless dreamy girl having all positive thoughts about marriage...
P.p.s I am not married...K...:)

Hi NB ,
I just read the chapter 1 of CL very well written you have given a short description of Khushis life after that heart breaking incident of her life .For some reason I feel she has come to the terms of life do not expect anything from it and try to stay happy with what you have, but she does love Tarun. great start I guess next part will be Arnavs life after the incident.I am sorry I was unable to post my comment in the blog hence writing here.I was able to do it for prologue, still trying to figure it out may be you if you have time help me with this
