Ahh...I missed ur update. U surprised me when I was expecting a Saturday update..:)

Loved the chapter..there is no one thing in the chapter that I did not like..so listing the things that I like will be an endless task..

Meera with her openness and extrovertness will win over Mohan soon. Kushi has already won his heart in the first few minutes itself..she is already his Meera mama..:)

Manorama and Kushi's relationship is so beautiful..only positive emotions are there in it..i loved it..

And Arnav and Kushi..the way they both understand each other without the help of words ..it wants me to say they are destined for each other..it is just that they let it slip the first time and only realized when they met a second time. Kushi is still hesitant to take a step and is holding her self from letting go and feel what she feels..She needs time and patience from Arnav..The supportive hug she gave and how the awareness seeping through them..you portrayed it brilliantly..also i like how you portrayed Kushi's thoughts on Maya..it makes her uncomfortable to see the easy camaraderie Arnav has with Maya and Maya's openness and inquisitive nature..But I am sure Maya with her innate good naturedness will win over Kushi..

Am eager for more...it is just that however lengthy the chapters it still leaves me with a dissatisfied feeling...and that is entirely your fault..how can i not when u are writing so brilliantly.A Hug For You my dear friend..🤗

You know how to tug the heartstrings, don't you? Parents find it difficult to come to terms with a child's illness, more than the children themselves many a times. So Arnav's silence makes sense to me. On the other hand, Maya has decided to accept it and tackle it head on. Different people, different ways of coping. Khushi is just so nice, and I don't have another word for it, so I'll go with angelic. She's wonderful as a mother, a DIL , a friend, a therapist. I feel like she's real, and I actually admire her.

Perfect song selection ... 👍🏼 ❤️

Mira ... I lost touch with the story in between ... too much happening in AD ...

but finally seem to have caught up with it ... and the speed of the story is just perfect ... anything else and it would not have the same impact on us 😆

Love the way you are handling emotions here ...

Khushi ... the loss of a husband makes a woman go into such a deep shell from which she never ever wants to come out of ... and God forbid if anything good happens to it her makes her feel so guilty ... it's as though she doesn't deserve anything good coming her way ... in other words her world comes to an end with her husbands passing away ... she's just living for the sake of being alive and her children ...

Arnav ... harbouring this guilt within him that his son is suffering because of him ...

Meera ... an angel specially sent to people who need good things happening in their lives ...

Mohan ... in need of nurturing and plenty of love ...

Am really curious to know why Arnav and Khushi moved away from each other after their romantic tryst ten years back ... Was it because Arnav had to pursue his education and career ?

I still find Arnav and Maya's relationship a little unsettling ... it seems as though they had little or no love between them when they got married that inspite of having a child they separated so easily and still meet as best of friends ... and also how Maya could walk out of the marriage knowing that her little boy had autism and needs her more than ever to be around !

Am so happy that Arnav has made his feelings quite clear to Khushi ... not many people get Second Chances thrown their way ... hope Khushi realises that soon ... life can be really lonely alone ...

Thank you Mira ...

I am loving this FF hands down and there are many reasons for this and one of the most important one is that its a very slow story which does not just indulge in the meeting of a boy and girl and their physical intimacy but it dwells upon the emotional bonding which to me is more important than physical one👍🏼. Your story is like a poem which is just not Arnav and Khushi but have so many other characters that makes it enjoyable. I have said it before and am repeating that the friendship you have shown between each and every character is a welcoming change and is the breath of freshness, its like the spring to the long winter. ⭐️ Your character sketch for all supporting characters is worth a wait and makes me not miss ARSHI at all 😲❤️

Speaking about the updates:

Meera is contagious. You have pictured the real life incidences in this story so well. I can imagine my kids getting excited about them sitting in front and talking about traffic to the driver there. 👏

Manorama is the star of your story. She lived her life alone without her hubby and yet now she is thinking what she will do after Khushi shows how much is she dependent on Khushi now. She wants Khushi to have her real Khushi and I tell you she is one of the minorities who thinks high about her DIL and thinks her as a daughter. 👍🏼

Maya is maya - Today we got a glimpse about something that may have gone wrong due to Arnav's mistake/negligence and hence they parted😕. Something that may have been the reason for Mohan's ASD and so a guilty Arnav.

Arnav needs Khushi - No doubt. He is guilty but for what? For letting khushi go or for Mohan or for everything that happened around him. He needs support the most and am glad that this time he is determined to not let go of Khushi.

Today's update was all about Khushi. We had a peekaboo in her mind and the big thing is that for a change she is refreshing her memories of the first crush/fling/love. She considering it as infidelity even to think tells us how strong her beliefs about marriage and fidelity is. Its going to be a long journey for her to fight her own self and am glad that Arnav is not letting her leave this time. He is making all the efforts.

There is not a single part that i did not like in your story and i can see my post is getting bigger each passing day when i have not even touched ARSHI, Mohan and Arnav/Manorama here😳.

Like we had seen Meera/Arnav bonding i can see here Khushi/Mohan bonding happening and also Khushi/Maya. May be Maya and Lavanya along with Manorama will make her understand her equation with Arnav. Oh Mira I usually do not speculate the story too much but look at your writing it makes me crave for more.

PS- I read this update the moment i got internet access and yet waited for more than 30 hours to post a response as i wanted to make it precise and to the point - not an essay but well I failed miserably.🥺

I am so grateful for your thoughtfully written long response. I *LOVE* essays. :) As someone who has spent a lot of time thinking through and often struggling through this story, I truly appreciate your detailed, nuanced response. So, please I am glad you failed miserably. 😛

A beautifully written emotional ride.

Arnav and Meera's bonding is lovely. Cant wait for her to meet Mohan. That should be interesting.

Khushi's breakdown was sad but perhaps this was the start for her to share her grief with Arnav. Its the first step in the healing process, I think. Arnav's gesture in including Meera in the hug was so sweet.

Good that Manorama witnessed Arnav and Khushi together. She has always seen Khushi with NK and it would be difficult for her to suddenly find Khushi in a romantic relationship with a man who is not her son. Better she first witnessed a platonic hug. It would help her better cope with the development of a relationship between the two of them.
