Thank you Kumi, Nishu, Mina, Shila, Moumita and SaraJac :)
Loved reading your thoughts.

@ Shila and SaraJac - So far, we have heard the story from Greeshma's perspective. I would like you to know Ahalya's perspective through Devyani.

I can't remember who said it now...but one of you pointed out the gray shades in Ahalya...and you are right. She is not an angel in white. She, like any other human falls into fray spectrum too. It's a matter of how fray she is.

Nobody and I seriously believe there isn't one (not even one) person in this world who is purely white...in case you've come across such a person...either you are lucky or what you see is not really what you are getting...beware girls ...a warning from DND writer 🤣

This is fun, ladies 😆 I'm loving it.

P.S - I'm not explaining the character actions right now because I sincerely believe my writing should do it and not my explanations or notes. But lets say, at the end of this journey, if you are not convinced by any character actions...I promise to have a session on character, setting, plot analysis. An interactive session with my readers :) I don't know if any other writer has done it earlier or not...As of now, I'm thinking its a new idea for IF :)

hi there...I really wanted to reply after reading the last update but was away from a computer and a good internet connection.
I'm loving the chemistry sizzling between Arnav and Khushi. Arnav's flirting and simple, sweet gestures are totally adorable! 😉 Khushi's jealousy indicates that she has subconsciously begun giving to the hope for a future with him. Its heartening to see the relationship between Arnav and Payal evolving slowly but beautifully.
But the most significant part was, without a doubt, Nani's reaction to Garima!!!! My eyes were sure gonna pop out when I read that part. Where did that come from!!! I hadn't expected it at all.
Things became clearer after this update but I must say it was a shocking kahani mein twist! superb writing, as usual!!
If Garima is indeed Greeshma, and as it seems to me, that Anya is indeed her daughter, it means Anya and Khushi are half sisters?!!😲 Unless there is another twist wherein Khushi is not Garima's biological daughter, which is possible 'cause it seemed in this update that Greeshma didn't want to give Anya up because the doctor told her something, maybe something like, she can't be a mother again? As it is...they are both of the same age, so Garima giving birth to both of them seems far-fetched. Wow, so much speculation! I'm dying to know what the reality is!! And how deeply this is going to impact all the relationships in and between the Raizada and Gupta families!
*** and to answer your questions:
1. What Ahalya did, was perhaps a very ideal case. I wonder what her motivation was behind such a momentous decision!
Most of the women from such families would have turned their eyes the other way or have had the woman in question thrown out. They didn't do well handling the results of their husbands' indiscretions. Also this wouldn't have been the only time a woman had gotten impregnated by Mr. Mallik, so why such a big step?! Maybe because she feels personally responsible and guilty.
In a rare instance, a virtuous woman would have offered compensation or monetary help to the woman for settling elsewhere and raising the child.
2. If by that you mean to imply that she'd never have crossed paths with Mr. Mallik, then I guess her life would have been different but just as difficult. Her father would have passed away for the lack of good health care 'cause 5k could hardly have sufficed for a long time. Maybe she would have completed her education and gotten a job and married and had a normal life. but it's also possible that she could have come across some other b*****d like that Mallik and had a miserable life owing to the repercussions of such an association. Life for young, single, poor women in the '80s that too in small towns was extremely tough.

Whoa...this has turned out to be an essay rather than a comment. hope you haven't dozed off reading it 🤔 Really eager to read further...thoroughly enjoyed reading these two updates! 😃

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read the entire FF till date in one go...
very gripping...
liked every bit of it...
right from the school days of the three girls to
Khushi's first vacation at Anya's place...
Arnav and Khushi's first attraction towards the other...
The college life where Akash and payal come together...
khushi's pain of separation from Arnav...
their coming together in Anjali's marriage...
mamaji's acceptance of payal...
Anya's happiness with Aman...
Khushi and Arnav's pain have both been portrayed very well...
Their meeting again with NK's entry into Khushi's life...
Arnav and Khushi's meet...his realisation of love...the episodes during Anya's marriage all touched a lot...
the most touching part in the entire Ff was the letter that Khushi writes to her friends...the way they give her space she needed and later accept her with open arms...
just when I thought that Arnav and Khushi were coming together...
garima's story came as a shock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was written brilliantly! My heart went out to Greeshma. I have a feeling she is garima. She was so full of innocence and the things she had to go through. Sacrificing her body, not seeing her father when he passed away, going through a teenage pregnancy and such a difficult labour and the worse had to be giving her baby away for her child's well being.

i wonder who the child is though. I'm thinking it's Anya but not sure entirely. I'm just glad that Khushi isn't blood related to the Malik's.

Do continue soon. Cannot wait for the story to unravel and evrything to come out.

1- most of them would have made her abort the baby or thrown her to some dump...Ahalaya had the heart of gold to accept the child the way she did...that to she faked pregnancy so no one could bad mouth the child. Even inthis era a women like Ahalya is really rare...
2-as for Greeshma her future would have been in question even in the situation u mentioned ...as money could have provided a little better treatment to her father but still she would not have had the social security... Ahalya did do what she thought to be the best for them...only her fault that she became ignorant of her vile husband ...but she never meant for it happen...still she owned up the mistake n rectified it best possible way...
