No worries bcoz its enough that you take time from your busy routine n write for us now coming back to update so arnavs son is autism patient so in previous chapters i found his behaviour different so it must be very difficult for him but now with khusi n her daughter i think he will cure better.

I have goosebumps and it has been a while I promise.

You wondered once if there was anything similar between our writings. I wish, my friend. I really wish.

It is nice to see Arnav happy and hopeful. He has already made peace with his fate (lost love, failed marriage, autistic child) and is ready to accept a relationship. Kushi is not there yet even though the people around her are ready for her to move on and live a little for herself. She is stuck in the guilty feeling of not being a good widow if she decides to live a little for herself. She understands she has no choice but to go on for there are 2 people depending on her. There is nothing worse than that feeling of obligations tying you down but this is all in her head and is not being expected of her. Of all people, her mil is trying to tell her that it is ok to go and be herself but she shut her down. Just like she is trying to shut down Arnav and his hopes. I wonder if Arnav is not setting his expectations too high because until she opens up to change, he will be disappointed and will be rejected. He is doing a good job at trying to bring down the walls around her though and definitely deserves brownie points for not giving up and for being persistent.

That was a great update...

Was there a label for such relationships when a decade's worth of silence didn't mute their connection.

Too good.

u are an amazing writer. It is getting more intense and interesing day by day !

Lovely story, tugs at the heartstrings. I am reminded of a friend who met with me just before she re-married years back. She had teen kids and had just come out of a bad marriage. We talked about second chances and how happiness was a birthright for everyone who walked on this earth. She needed to hear the words and I was glad I could reassure her.

Fantastic update
Loved it
Thanks for the mail

Naani sitting in her particular place resonated very emotionally with me. Our elders do that and when they're gone, it's actually really difficult to sit in that place. In your mind, it's theirs. It's strange how space becomes a memory of that person. I hope Naani does get to see the happiness she seeks for her grandchild.

I really like the way you've written Arnav and Maya's relationship. The care and regard they have for the other, and the acceptance you've shown is so positive. To be able to retrieve that friendship they started with, after the breakdown of a marriage takes a lot of determination. And Arnav is now going to need all that determination to make Khushi open up to him.

Such a beautiful analysis of the sound of silence, MB. The sort that cocoons you in its warmth, the sort that tears through clawing at you.

As I have often told you, I love your Manorama. She herself is really "cool", I think! I find her genuine desire to see her daughter in law's future being a happy one very moving.
