Loved your response, it was everything I wanted to say & more. Wish I had read it before, would have said ditto to everything you said. 👍🏼 Very well articulated. You brought all the points that I wanted to point out too... 😊

Jenny, I am drowning in a puddle of tears in the kitchen while the little one has a play date in the basement. Her friend must be telling my daughter that your mum is weird. Does that tell you how perfectly you have written this chapter? I love your writing style, you don't put blame but lay out the situation in a way that it is up to us to pick who we want to love, to blame and who is the hero and who is the villain. I like this a lot about your writing style because it would have been easy to blame Astha for her mothering style, right? Why did she not stand by her son? Blame Sashi for over protecting La. Blame Kushi's parents for not standing by her. But we are all a product of what we have been exposed to and what we learned growing up. the best line for me from this update was Astha's thoughts as they were driving to the hospital "all those years, what her son needed most from her was trust and all she could give him was judgement . . ." Are we all not too quick to judge and offer our opinion when the other person may simply need someone to listen and not judge.

I love how he has finally opened up to his mother, how he has exposed the nastiness of what the marriage was based on and how he loved that boy as a real son. His promise to Aarav led him to protect him even in death and after death. Isn't this a true parent?

I will tell you I also loved the part when his first thoughts were of Kushi after finding out who La blamed and the ending where he realized what needs to be done and that there were issues to be dealt with (yes, he did not help the cause by staying quiet and let everyone think he is the villain), people to be taken care of and best a life to be lived - his and Kushi's. Out of the darkness, out came the resolve and the will to be free and live his life.

Saffron Field is such a precious story and I thank you for giving it to us Dr. Jenny! Muah!

Jen, as I was reading the chapter again, I had to point out since I had not done so earlier, that the following excerpt from the chapter really touched my heart... You've written these words so well, it was almost poetic... 👏 👏 Keep up the good work girl. 👍🏼

"His guards stunned into inaction, he didn't even attempt to mask the emotional upheaval churning in his heart. It reflected clearly in his caramel eyes. They shone with the hunted, bewildered expression of a desperate man who suddenly sees his only chance of happiness, of life itself, slipping away from between his fingers. Vanishing like an illusion that his cruel fate had perhaps delighted in conjuring up for him.

He knew very well the calamitous effect this unfortunate news would have on Khushi. On her benevolent, empathetic heart. On her sensitive psyche. It would break her. Possibly, irreparably.

And it was all his fault. Again.

In his overwhelming need, his near desperation for her presence in his bleak life, he had inadvertently allowed her to be in harm's way. "

Thank you so much🤗 It means a lot coming from you because I always love your comments. Your insights, your perspective and the clarity with which you present it is amazing!

In your comment...the way you tried to justify the parents' point of views...generation gap...was appreciable.

I loved this part: "This is a guilt she will have to live with for the rest of her life methinks. Life is the best teacher. It is never too late to learn & rectify. After all, we're all humans. Nobody is infallible, but the fact that we realize our mistakes & learn from them is the best thing we can do in life. Anger & hatred are the canker to our souls. We should try & stay away from it as much as possible. Learn to forgive & forget & move on, should be the motto of our lives. "

Aastha and probably Guptas and Kashyaps, too once they find out the truth, will realise their lack of faith and judgement, feel a guilt that may not ever go away.

What I meant was... Lavanya knew that Aarav was not Arnav's... She was also in a relationship with another man where she had been indulging in unprotected sex... So when she seduced Arnav seeing the opportunity, she played with his goodness and it became a blessing for her to be able to lump her pregnancy on his head. She thought she had her cake and eat it too...😆

In my hurry, I didn't check what I had written... 😳

Thanks dear, you're so kind. 🤗 I enjoy reading your comments as well. Loved this one especially :)

I just love this story because it is so realistic in the portrayal of all its characters, each one is behaving exactly what one would expect from someone in their position vis--vis age or relationship. I don't think I've ever said after reading anything in this story that this seems so unreal. And Jen's eloquent writing really makes this story that much more special & pleasant to read. 😊

Btw, I am Geeta, sorry don't know your name either.

canapoem and sman i guess kushi did not meet lavanya...after the scene with maya at her house infront of her parents, last words of kushis mom

"Because she wasn't wrong".

may be kushi thinks she dissapointed her parents, because they never supported her decision ,nor show some trust on their daughter...that's why she left with out telling arnav...

wondering when this lavanya fisco will be ended...
