Shweta, I was totally stumped reading this chapter, hence the delay in collecting my thoughts... Even now, my thoughts are all over the place. It is just amazing the way you have depicted the varying emotions of all the characters in the story... From Arnav & Aman's mutual trust & friendship to Anjali's genuine fear & sympathy to Arnav's mother's stiff reaction to Aakash's fake concern and finally Khushi's acute fear of losing the one man who has come to mean her life now... Her fear of losing yet again someone who is dear to her... Just loved the way you have captured each & every emotion in all these characters...
I wonder why Arnav is so scared of losing his feelings for Khushi on account of his past?? What happened then to make him so skeptical of his own feelings which have done nothing but steadily increase in intensity for Khushi?? Hopefully, we can learn about his past soon... I really hope nothing separates the two now, as I don't think Khushi will be able to handle any more rejection or separation from the only person who is her family now and whom she loves so dearly...
Another thing I would like to mention here, I just hope that with this incident that Aman, realizes that life is too short too wallow in grief for ever. He has mourned long enough for Priya, there is really no point in grieving further, she won't be coming back, but at least, he can live his life with someone who loves him a lot & he likes a lot too. Maybe this incident will give him the impetus he needs to propose to Anjali & marry her...
What can I say about Aakash?? He does not even deserve a mention for the dastardly cowardly act he has committed. He is beyond redemption now. I just hope, his hand in this comes to light & he gets his just deserts. Cannot say enough about Payal's guts & courage... Taking on Aakash like that, I just hope no harm befalls her for all her bravery that would indeed be too sad... She deserves her freedom from hell for good now. Aakash needs to be put behind bars without a second thought. It would be sweet retribution for both Payal & Arnav, nothing short of public humiliation & severe punishment will do for him now. He just cannot be let scott free. All actions have to be accounted for, especially that of a perpetrator in a homicide that too of his own kid brother.
Shweta, please take bow for spinning this wonderful & gripping tale, you truly have done a marvelous job so far. 👏
