Hi Sandhya
First - apologies for this late a response. It is almost time for your next update isnt it? I was traveling with sporadic online-access. Anyway - here is what your update meant to me:
This one broke and mended my heart at the same time. An emotional wringer of sorts - more like a crescendo of emotional wringer. I knew that this confrontation was imminent and I wondered how you were going to play it our for us. Well, it was marvelously done with all the bells and whistles. Now she knows, and he knows that she knows.. no more hiding and no more waiting. His heart is out in the open for her - either to hold it in herself or trample over it. I have faith in this love.. :) so I will wait for you to unfold this for us readers.
I have always maintained [much like a broken record] that your prose is poetry in itself.. Here is a line that stayed with me..
Khushi was torn between the need to hold him and to run away from it. The farther she wanted to move the closer she found herself to Arnav.
That tension between staying and feeling the need to run away is again so well portrayed.. and the irony of love - that the more she wanted to move away from him, the closer she found herself to him. :) Your ability to provide your reader with the insight of how their love works magic, while, at the same time, leave your characters in the dark about it makes it all the more engaging.. :)
Khushi recoiled as if she were being attacked. "Don't do that dammit. I'm not going to hurt you." It wouldn't have hurt as badly if she had knifed him.
This one felt gut-wrenching..both her reaction and his response.. two people in tremendous pain. I have often wondered if authors feel the emotion that they write in their characters.. if that is true, then this must have been a very difficult one indeed - perhaps harder than the one when they broke up, in my opinion.. :)
Well, what can I say, Sandhya, you weave one heck of a magical tale with every single update of yours. And with every update, you make me fall in love with your Arnav a little bit more. :) I am on his side and I believe in second chances.. :)
