Wonderful update!!!!... Liked the conversation between Arnav and Navin...but didn't like the ...not meeting each other clause...and also Arnav agreeing to it...although he had no choice...

Very beautifully written last two chapters. I like that you are taking your time with every character and their reactions to the situation. Being a parent of two daughters in their early twenties I can relate to the parent situation. My younger one who turns 21 in a week, told me that she is thinking about dating this classmate of hers. We have a very open and strong bond where we discuss everything and we are more like friends than mother and daughters. Infact people often mistake us for three sisters or three freinds. Well coming to the point they have friends who are boys and girls and I know all of them and I also like this particular boy she is talking about. But when she discussed this with me tht she wants to date him and wanted to know if I will be ok with it. I said I think so let's see - typical mom answer but for a week I was so disturbed. I still dont even know why. So when i read about Navin or Sujata I can relate to the fear they have about their daughter. Especially given the situation in the story. It is so difficult to anticipate our reactions when it comes to our children. We see everything with a magnifying glass. It's like everything is different when it comes to them. I'm really happy that you are handling this sensitive issue with care. Can't wait to read the rest of the story. Sorry for rambling about my parenting thoughts.

finally, astha and arnav have a talk... hopefully she understands him better? and will actually lend her support? I don't know what she is waiting for... she says she has given up hopes of reconciliation, yet she won't be happy (or show her happiness) for her son until the divorce is through. or is it that he shouldn't be happy either? the immense bleakness this man has been through breaks my heart. no one goes into a marriage looking for divorce. or manipulation. there is only so much degree of tolerance in a person and then some. and yes, to someone whose values are set very high, something like this breaks their belief in marriage. not to mention not wanting to associate with the other person anymore.

especially loved this convo, jenny. beautifully done, how well arnav explains. very mature.

the rest is just as beautiful - be it the little things you mention, or the places you describe.

on a side note, a bit hard for me to imagine that the divorce will turn ugly. because, that would mean the truth coming out and at this point in time, lavanya surely does not want it. so will it be a sort of blackmail, or will they reach a middle ground?
