I'm here 😆

Be back soon.

...

I'm just incredibly happy right now.

I adore the way you write kids, Mira! Somewhere between the lines, you put in some seemingly innocent but powerful words that make me pause for awhile. I look for these places. It reminds me time and again to stop doing things for others, to not give in to the pressure of expectations that others have from me. To just breathe and be the person I am. Be silly. Be expressive.
I'm 18. My mind is screwed ALL the time. So trust me when I say this, reading throught this ff is a calming process. It is like stepping out on an early autumn morning to take in a long breath of cool air. It clears your mind. So, thank you Mirabell. For giving that to a reader.

Back to the story (I try very hard to not digress but end up editing my comment thrice. Thrice.), I felt like the lunch was taking place in my dining room. And it was fun! I love love Arnav and Meera's bond. It gives me all the happiness, really.

But this update was all about Arnav and Khushi's little afternoon siesta. After all, It is not everyday that Arnav Singh Raizada got to walk the streets of New Delhi with Khushi Kumari Gupta. ;) It told me a lot more about the relationship they once shared and that picture looks lovely. It makes me all the more eager to go back into the past and see for myself those beautiful impulsive moments in time.

Coming over to what really completed this part of the story. The hug. That one moment when the three of them were connected. If I were Khushi, or Meera, I'd feel unsure but guarded. Safe. And definitely not alone. Because I can see that's what Arnav wants to give to them. Both of them.

There's a gap Khushi has to bridge. A gap Meera as a kid doesn't have to worry about because she's probably past that which has lead her to make room in her heart for one more person. To take from that person what she knows she's missing in her life.
And I'm glad there's a long way to go because that means I get to read more such updates from you that are laden with precious words. Words I take back with me most of time, even after I've shut off the computer.

Keep writing, M.
Lots of pyaar,
Isha.

Too good.. It was very emotional..

You make it so tough to pick favorite parts in the story. Everything is so beautiful:)
God bless you.

Awesome update...

A light hope is somewhere there... Fantastic and emotional update. You are giving a modern love story. cant wait for next update.

Can I tell you that I love every single word in this chapter? I am an impatient reader and always in a hurry to get to the point (maybe a multitasking mommy thing not sure) but today I was savouring each and every single word. They all meant something by themselves but when you put it all together like you did, it is poetry in motion. I get why it is important to slow the pace down now so we get an appreciation of each emotion and moment. They are all different as in she can be brave, fighting her tears, feeling tired, trying to go back in time with Arnav, with NK, being a mom, a widow, a person trying to come out of her grief, and the list goes on, this is not your run of the mills romance story, this is as real as it gets and I am sure this has happened to someone close as you know exactly what to say and when to say it. His musing as a father about his Mohan and the little girl in front of him was very poignant. I think as parents, we do this (comparing the kids reactions) many times as there really is no manual that tells you if everything is ok and specially in his case, autism is even harder to deal with. I love his ability to be able to see hope in everything and resilience and determination in fighting for her this time. He is not going to waste his second chance and is going to break through her wall no matter how long it takes.

i have a feeling they are never going back and will stay in india like one big happy family manorama will unite these two. also waiting to read about meera and mohan s meeting

awesome going.
wonderful emotions well narrated.
superb.

I'm one of those impatient reader...but this chapter I slowed myself to read each word. Beautifully written...love each character
