<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif">Aah, Anon, what a delightfull creature you have created in your Khushi. Like I said to you long ago, she is the purest thing of all and the last 2 chapters are testimony to this unique and precious being. She is like the drop of dew on a lotus leaf- clear, clean and amazing in her love for all her family,
And she is the perfect match for Arnav, the bear with the sore head and solid heart. I like the way she's gradually digging into his psyche and bringing him out.
It is easy to understand why and how she has forgiven Arnav, I wish they had a talked about the unfortunate event and the cirumstances that led up to it a bit more, but then I guess, it is the beginning of a conversation, a conversation that shoudl last a lifetime,
In your note you'd asked us which loops we would like you to complete, I like many others wanted them to talk about her disability.
But having read this update, I realize that if they did that then they would not be the Khushi and Arnav they are - they would be projections of our our ideas and preconceptions. I think this conversation was great as it was them being perfectly intelligible and comprehensible to each other.
Also, both are equally disabled- his is a psychological one, hers a physical, and equally abled by the love they have for each other which allows them to tune into each other perfectly.
I've loved this sotry since its inception, but now having been with these two wonderful characters on this enormous journey they have made of finding their own selves while finding love in each other, I am sad that the journey is coming to an end.
I will forever wonder if Khushi masters Italian or if she'll ever learn to cook. Whatever she does she'll always be for me a magical creature that can only bring joy to the world she inhabits.

Having been thinking about the story since i posted my comments, one thing I'd like to know is Sujata's perspective or at least for Arnav to talk to khushi about it and make sense of it and lay it to rest. He's come to terms with it and understands it at an intellectual level, he needs to lay it to rest. Khushi's love can take him far, he needs to make the final steps. The trauma of Arnav's childhood has its roots not just in his parents' behavior towards him, but behind that is own relationship.
If you have already dealt with that, please ignore this. I must have missed it. Anyway, this is a story i will come back to again and again, so I'll catch up.
