*Waves and hugs* Hi!!!!
Okay, so I was bored and decided to check your blog and I found the update! So I read it there and decided to reply here like I always do! You made my day!
Where do I start? Let's just start from the beginning. The goodbyes choked me up. I can already see that Adhira is fearing that history is going to repeat itself. However, she knows how much Khushi and Arnav love each other. That tender affection she showed him seriously tugged at my heartstrings. I think deep down she cares for him, not just because Khushi does, but because she sees how genuine of a person he is. Which probably makes it all the more harder for her to watch him, who is beginning to take on the role of a son to her, leave to protect their country.
Poor Khushi in her broken state. I'm glad NK was there to support her too. I feel like she would have fallen to the ground, crying, if someone wasn't there to hold her up. This is a big step for Arnav to give someone the responsibility to look after Khushi. Ever since he started dating her, he has protected her like she was some priceless object. Knowing that he can't be there, he entrusted NK to watch out for her. This is important considering he didn't originally trust NK. It shows on Arnav's part that he does trust him. And NK, still trying to lighten the mood with his "come back for her or else I'll come up to those mountains and drag you back". It's hard for him too, as he is watching his new friends go fight for their country. His job is definitely going to be keeping the girls happy.
The final goodbye between Arnav and Khushi was touchy, but not as emotional as the previous chapter. Disregarding others, they embraced each other. As always, they were in their own little world, just for the moment. The letters are seriously going to be what kills me. It's their way of staying connected. The way Khushi kept a brave face probably hurt Arnav more than any of us can imagine. He knows how broken she is, but she's staying strong for him. She doesn't want the last memory he has of her being broken. So, she sends him off with sad smiles, which isn't much better honestly. Oh how I wish things were different too! But Arnav is right...this is his life. Even though she knows he can't stay Khushi still asks...knowing the answer but still praying that he may give a different response. I can already tell that promise is half-hearted. He only promised her because Khushi wouldn't let him leave otherwise, or worse, they could break up again. But at least she has enough faith for the both of them that he will return...even if Adhira is shown worried that history is going to repeat itself.
The small Akash and Payal part was cute. I'm glad you gave them a teeny part because their goodbyes are just as important as everyone else's. Shyam's goodbye was, by far, the best. I honestly think I'm going to miss him the most. I would have probably sent him tons of food before he left. But I think that this part is important because it reveals Shyam's importance to the group. Not only is he comic relief, but he is that calm glue that sort of keeps everyone on track and together. He's the one that easily makes his way into everyone's hearts. His appearance may not always be seen as important, but his disappearance sure leaves an impact.
I'm glad Aman and Anjali got married. NK's confident assurance to Khushi that Arnav would return for her was just what she needed. He's already fulfilling his duties towards her and the girls. I have a strong feeling that he is going to be their pillar of strength during these testing times.
Arnav wrote to Khushi! *screams and jumps on bed* He wrote to her! He wrote! Although he didn't say much, every word dripped with love and possessiveness for Khushi. And then he signed it as "Your Dark Wolf". I'm dead. It didn't matter to Khushi what he wrote. Even if he wrote one sentence, it would've been enough for her because she just needed to know that he's alive. His letter was emotional. I can't wait to find out what Khushi wrote and Arnav's reaction to her letters. I am going to be an emotional wreck, I just know it.
As always, your updates get to me. I love every one of them and I can't wait for you to update this one and all your other works. Keep writing and know that I will always reply to every single update! I'm just glad I didn't have to use my stick in this update...just tissues!
Can't wait for the next part!!!!!
