Hi there...I've been following the story for quite some time but haven't commented regularly, Sorry about that. I really love how the story has shaped up so far.
I'm glad Khushi dealt with the heartbreak and went on to make a good life for herself. Although I didn't really like her decision of cutting her friends off from her life, I guess I understand that it was her method of coping and moving on.
It breaks my heart to see how Arnav has been distanced from almost everyone and has to suffer all the pain and loneliness even if it is self inflicted. I admire Payal and Ana's solidarity with regards to Khushi but their coldness towards him esp Ana's stuns me. I would have expected in time, Ana would see her brother's pain and suffering. It s ironic that Khushi, who was hurt the most, had to make her see that she should have at least attempted to reach out to Arnav.
I don't want to imply that Arnav is absolved of all his sins or that everything he did was justified; but that he had to endure all that on his own is a bit sad.
As much as I sympathise with him, I'm not sure I like Arnav trying to mess up khushi's happiness and peace.
I'm glad that the burden of his past demons has eased; his attempt to save Khushi's life while risking his own was touching but still he can't..shouldn't get her affections back so easily. He has inflicted so much hurt on her while trying to distance her from himself. So if he wants her love now, he needs to work for it, he has to win her trust and love. The opening up and confessing part is a great start.
Although, I know all this isn't really fair on NK, I am definitely rooting for Arnav & Khushi. They might have their differences and Arnav has a lot to make up for but they are meant to be!
I haven't really commented in a long time so just wanted to put my thoughts about the story so far out there. Love your writing and how you manage to do justice to the personalities of the characters. That you are an amazing writer and storyteller is unquestionable! đ I absolutely love this story and look forward to the update every week. I try and reserve it for a free hour on a holiday so I can relax and enjoy it slowly. Now that I'm on leave I couldn't stop myself from reading it right away! Can hardly wait for the next update now! đ
Cheers! Good luck!
