Dear Deepthiya...I do not know if u remember me from last time when i was reading ur other and my First story wriitten by you- 'Dawn of the dawn'. I had joined ur thread somewhere when we were in middle on tht journey and then had to leave agn due to hectic life after a very short no of regular comments. But, it definitely didn't mean i forgot the story or the writer in you. I was very irregular on forum for a very long time and then on a complete absence of about 2 months until two weeks back. si, i came to finish my earlier story and then i remembered our conversation where u mentioned abt planning to write 'Between Strangers 2' because it had just all the elements i was looking for in a story.and thus, landed on TVK.
I finished reading this story last week when there were still last 2 updates remaining...and believe me u had me hooked rgt from the prologue itself. And then i was eagerly waiting for upcoming updates from the very min i finished the last line of earlier update. and i apologize for not having left a comment while i was around in last two weeks..but believe me i get to read only at bedtime and i do not have access to internet then...but i know all these ae just excuses...so i want to say a heartfelt sorry! SORRY!
and about TVK...well wat do i say...! all i can say is i m stumped like never before! I had been following a lot many IPKKND Fanfictions in last 3 yrs but believe me wen i say- with this marvellous story...Its you who sits on the throne for me from now on, surpassing all of the other writers i use to appreciate.
I am not telling u all this to flatter you or something but...to acknowledge wat i truly feel. So...Long story short...!!!
U know wat...while i was reading the last update, not even in my dreams did i thought tht this is the last one for this story...I m not even sure now if u had been handing out warnings for it...But i was truly taken aback...when i read the last update...and more because...it was an END. 😲
I was extremely overwhelmed after after reading the last part...and agn not exaggerating but telling u the fact, I truly had tears in my eyes...I guess tht shud be enough to rightly express to you...how well u have delivered the story...Especially the Very last Line..."Kaun Khushi?" ...well, i was totally stumped there! 👏
and then...i wudn't say that i didn't feel disappointment at first for the fact that they got separated in the end..honestly, i Was! but...then, it doesn't mean i am not satisfied with what u chose to keep it as. Maybe...Ur ending is wat that took me off-guard...I really appreciate it. But again, i wudn't also deny that had u left it just at that...never to work more on this story again...I wud have also been a part of the whole fandom of urs who woul have been spammming ur Inbox to give us a happy ending. 😆 But, My reasons for demanding tht wudn't have been the fact that we cannot just see Arshi seprated ever...because honestly i have read a few where they get seprated and found their ends satisfactory...but because I wanted to see the family that we have been dreaming to seee together right from the start...for Rahul and Ashu, the two kids that having been looking forward to their own family...and most of all for the very selfless Arnav...who had given up his everything...or shud i say in better words...on being himself just to be with Her...accepting anything and everything that he had done just to keep Khushi by her side...just to have and be satisfied with whatever little he can have of her (specifically reffering to the part where Arnav Brings khushi bk to their new home, when Khushi didn't want to stay with him...but he was satisfied even with her in front of his sight)...and lastly to see khushi understand the very fact...tht if she is with her...then he wants nothing else. And Also because even though watever may have happened, Arnav had overcome everything and proven in every way wat togetherness can really be.
I am not denying ur reasons on behalf of Khushi, but all i am saying is its hard to accept the pain all tht he readily embraced just to have her in his life...only to lose it all in the last. I know, it is very much possible with the practical mindset, but m heart is just not ready to accept it. 😭
All in all...Thank you very much for this masterpiece...and for deciding to give us Phase two of this story before we cud evn complain!
with Love,
Meg
