Oh Sandhya!

What an emotional wringer it is .. I braced myself before opening your link to read.. I have now read it twice and will read it again ... Incredible writing - wrought with emotional highs and lows.. so a wringer it is!

I concede - its official. I don't have a smidgen of crush, I have a full blown crush on your Arnav Singh Raizada! This man you've created is just a beautiful human being.. He is a heroic brother.. I loved reading Anya's retrospective at the beginning of the chapter.. and especially these parts.. This tug he felt for this little sister's inability to swim .. and the guilt he felt when Anjali had her accident.. this explains his choices.. He is imperfect.. but beautiful inside out! He could walk away...He turned away to take a couple of steps. But he couldn't leave. Irritated with himself and his younger sister, he stewed. Decided. Shrugged.He glanced back and grinned. "Be here at the pool every evening at five. We'll practice together."

What a beautiful relationship you have drawn between Anya and Arnav here in this update.. Her conscience, which Arnav is able to see in his sister, and his generosity to forgive her in a wink of a moment, is what makes these siblings just lovely to watch. You have also showed Anjali's support for her brother in your earlier chapters.. but I am finally happy and content to see Arnav receive his younger sister's love as well. He deserved it.

I always remark on your ability to weave poetry in your narrative - here it is again - in sheer economy of words, you say so much .. How easy it was for Arnav to forgive his sister.. you make is sound so simple here... As the past grew hazy and distant, he held on to the present. and here... That room defied the logic that hospitals are gloomy places.

Ah.. here come those recriminations and regrets between friends..It's time for these three friends to air out their responses to Khushi's flight. Makes me wonder if there will be some collateral damage from this "airing out" between friends. And what is with Payal's response during this accident? In the previous one she acted as she should have and helped Anjali .. and also earned Mami's approval. In this one, she succumbed to her misguided loyalty to her friend? I thought doctors were trained to act first and then feel? But I loved your Payal's response to Khushi's accusations.

And may I say that the lady doth protest too much, methinks! :) Now, we need to co-exist peacefully ...for Ana and Pal. I don't want them to choose between us. They shouldn't. They are my friends and your family. I want to make it easy for them. And that is the only reason I'm here." She schooled her face to appear calm, cool and collected."That the only reason I'm here??" I do love this one line here.. I guess she was trying to convince herself that thats the only reason she was was there.

Well, can next wednesday come any sooner? :)

Awesome emotional update
Loved sibling reunion to confrontation between three friends and finally Arnav wishing

Payel , Anya and Khushi needs this encounter..
Firstly, I'm happy that Anya finally understands Arnav's feeling truly and fill up the gaps in Brother-Sister relationship within a second...
Payel really needed to go up..
She isn't now just A Best friend of Khushi, she is a Doctor for heaven sake!!!!
She left her teenage life where Friends fight for their Friends!!!
God!! Apart from her profession she is also in relation with Arnav- they belongs to same family...
She should be more wise at the accident time..
Khushi proved once again Love couldn't be hide for much longer...
Her saying 'Thank You' to Arnav just a excuse to talk about the past and making everything right between Arnav-Payel-Anya's relationship...
She couldn't see him suffer..
Hope the civil relationship change in Friendships and the Love..
And this time I want Arnav to to go his insecurities and welcome his happiness wholeheartily...
Waiting for next..

Now that line in bold is one of the most debatable one on DND.

But that is what makes it most interesting for me while writing...each reader expressing their empathy and anger for one character.

Thank you for always taking the time to comment.

Great chapter. Whoa there were emotions flying everywhere. The way Payal and Ana behaved I think ws very natural. In their minds They were being loyal to a friend. Looks like they both know about khushis feelings towards Arnav. Khushi was geting hysterical the way she kept on bombarded them with questions. Let's see how long it takes her to accept her feelings

Do continue soon.

That was a serious chapter.

But Khushi's attitude confused me. Why did she have to tell Arnav that he dint even deserve her hate...especially on a day when he had endangered his life while saving hers ? But I suppose her words came out out of her defence mechanism. She knows she still loves him. She thinks there is no way she can have a future with Arnav. how can she go thru everything yet again. She has been bitten not once but twice. And now she is engaged to Nandu.

First things first.. Sorry for being so late...
Jaanti hoon aane mein der kar ho gayi par aana to tha hi... (I hope it's enough otherwise I can use some of other IPK dialogues too, just let me know😉)

This is going to be difficult. It won't be easy to be around each other when they still have deep feelings for each other. Khushi is trying to forget everything, to not think about Arnav, trying to remind herself how he broke her heart years ago. But love is still there. If it wasn't she won't have needed to remind her self. Sometimes truth is as simple and as complicated as this.
I love Nani for simply being herself. She warned Arnav indirectly when she realized that they were going around and now she is urging his grandson to undo his mistakes and grab his happiness when life has given a chance to her again.
Arnav thought he would like Khushi to see happily settled and moving on but now when there is the first clue that she could have moved on he is hurting. He is feeling the pain and loss.
I'm glad Ana finally realized how wrong she was. There are some unspoken rules of family - the major is to never let go even when one commits a mistake.
Did Payal really do that? I mean she didn't help Arnav in the first go! That's the basic human instinct irrespective of how we personally feel. That face-off was much needed I guess. It may lead them to some sort of introspection.
Payal & Ana accepted her choice of moving on with NK but now after the accident and the face-off they are worried because it has become clear to them now that their friend still loves Arnav. But what can they do now? They can do nothing except hope for some miracle; strange how everyone is hoping for a miracle now. Would that wishing star help them? I'm hoping for a miracle where NK realises he loves someone else too. 😆 I mean they will all have a happy ending that way without hearts being broken. I don't like hearts breaking. Phir chahe woh Arnav ka ho, Khushi ka ho ya NK ka ho. They all are good and nice people in a tight situation.

that reconciliation of the siblings was so emotional... This reminded me the quote that its only after or when we are on the verge of losing something / someone , we realise its importance n how precious it/ dey are to us...

nice update.
curious to see how you bring khushi and arnav together again.
thanks for the pm
