I need to thank each and every one of you for taking out time and giving me fastidious feedback and critique on each chapter. To say Your response has been overwhelming would sound feeble in comparison to the love that everybody has showered on H&A.
To all the new readers, I haven't been able to communicate my heartfelt gratitude so I take this opportunity to thank and welcome you onboard. Hope you enjoy the remaining journey of the characters of H&A.
Now coming to the primary reason of this note: the story has, in a way, reached a point where the things that will be revealed will change the lives of the characters involved (like we noticed in the previous chapter, Payal's outburst was a culmination of what transpired in previous few chapters...)
The characters of H&A are flawed, each and everyone of them. Obviously that's what makes them Human. Right from Khushi to Akash. Every individual is tied down by relations, hopes, and clearly ambitions.
As mentioned in many chapters, Yashodha too has morphed into this selfish human because of what her blind love for her husband made her do.
Aman and Anjali, are battling their own demons that have tied them down, leading to a reticence to move on.
Khushi, from being a righteous young girl in the beginning to a woman who is madly in love with her husband and now capable of casting away those very ideals for him.
Payal has found her spunk and grown a spine ;)😉... I am glad she showed her ' Durga' avatar. Someone clever I know ;😆) had mentioned few days back that there is a ' Durga' in every woman and I second that!
Arnav well, he is too complex, (I often complain of acidity thanks to him!) we will know about him soon...
They have and will all make mistakes, they will make not so exemplary decisions (basically their decisions may not sit right with many individuals who would be reading this story.) And as a reader when I put myself in your shoes, I can easily picture myself reacting a certain way. So, I will be sitting with my armour on, to deflect the rotten tomatoes, chappals, pumps (would prefer Louboutin though!) Ouch!, that shall come my way. But I am hoping I will be able to convince everybody about the reasons behind the progression of the events. (I am already sweating, thinking about the daunting task!)
So, all I have to say i hope you continue to enjoy my vision and what I have in store for this story!
Another important note! I have noticed and some readers (thank you! guys) even mentioned that I had not liked their comments. I AM SORRY. That wasn't my intention at all. I appreciate everyone who take out time to give me feedback ( readencouragement of all kinds!) on the story from your busy life.
That's the kind of response that keeps me going!
But unfortunately I have this ghastly habit of 'bulk' liking the comments, hence I end up, missing out on some, or in desperation I double click ( I realised a few days back, it undos the 'like'). Now, I am more careful and double check whether I have liked comments. I have tried to go back and like the ones I have missed but please feel free to tell me (scrap me, drop me a line.) if I have forgotten to like a comment.
Maybe we can resort to a penalty pact or something if I default (I won't like that though :( 😭)
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU WITH A LONG NOTE...
I NOW LEAVE YOU WITH THE LINES THAT SHALL HELP YOU SUSTAIN AS YOU READ ON FUTURE UPDATES.
Nidhi I am going to steal your lines but the context I assure you is not the same. Those are words that each character of H&A express...
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
