Finally here. :')

Always, always look forward to these little insights at the beginning of every update. It's something I would probably come back to if I ever need inspiration or simple guidance.

Glass half empty kind of days. I like how you say that. Only because I'd never thought of it that way. It's most always about the kind of person you are, right? I know people who are always upset and cranky.
And I know people who are almost always cheery and happy and they leave me confused. Kabhi toh udaas ho jao.
I had no idea what to think of myself as. So, yeah. That line cleared things up a little for me.

I like those assurances K gives to herself every once in a while. Telling herself she'll be okay. They'll be okay.
You don't know how. Or why. But you know that you'll make it. Khushi's a strong woman. And I feel her spirit when she becomes the decade old Khushi with Arnav. Exactly what has always drawn me to the character called Khushi Kumari Gupta. And she deserves happiness.

And Meera! I think I missed her the most. (It's been a long time since I read this...)
Sometimes I wish I'd turned out like Meera. But if we are talking about a pair of heavy glasses sliding off one's sweaty nose, then maybe I have.

I can imagine you with a sly grin, stroking an imaginary cat on your arm, while you wrote about it being Gangadhar at the door. *cue sound of breaking hearts* Thanks a lot.

I had already dreamt about that signature ASR smirk as Khushi opens the door.
So now you better send Arnav and Mohan to Mathura. Or else there are more than two hundred of us to drag him down there.

I'm also very very curious about Maya and Kailash. We know enough about every character in the story, barring Kailash. And I don't know whether that is deliberate.
You know Maya has always intrigued me. And if not today, if not here, but someday I'd really want to know about her story. I know this story is not about them but I also know that this is not just about Arnav & Khushi. So, yeah, maybe..someday.

Until then,

Isha :)

Beautifully written ...
Just love little Meera ... 🤗

Khushi's fears about seeking happiness are not untrue ...
women who are left alone do go through these emotions and
feel guilty if they even smile ...
it's as though your heart is dead too along with your other half ...
It's an awful feeling ...

Hey, I just came across your story today and I absolutley love it. I commend you for taking such a real, heart breaking situation and weaving it so effortlessly into a wonderful story. You have such a way with your words that it's hard not to feel Khushi's pain as she lives a life without her husband and how she is restraining herself for giving into her feelings for Arnav.

I feel a connection to every single character.

Is this the first ever piece of writing you have done on IF? because if it is, I can not believe you've been hiding your talent for so long.

This is truly a wonderful written FF and I can't believe it's taken me a long time to find it.

A bit late but I finally went through the last 2 chapters.
The best thing about your penmanship about khushi is how u present us always with her thoughts, feelings, misgivings and insecurities making the character come out alive.
Khushi is so real, so earthly and grounded...she is strong yet vulnerable, confident yet prone to misgivings...she makes u want to wrap her up in your arms n give her a reassuring hug or slap her forehead when she is being especially dense.
The tragedies in her life have shaken her from within and she keeps second guessing herself when it comes to people. She cannot commit to Arnav yet for obvious reasons but she can't help being drawn to him, hoping for him to come through, feeling abject disappointment when he doesn't.

I really love the bonds of friendship in this story...Lavanya is Khushi's confidante and emotional support and Arnav and Maya are tied together by the bonds of their mutual respect, admiration, affection and fond memories of a shared past in addition to the love for their son. Kailash's role too is rather interesting. How many husbands would be so cool n open to not only their wife being best friends with her ex but also to actively look out for the said ex-husband himself?

Nice chapter Mira. I liked how you described life with the perspective of big picture and minutiae. And it is so real. We often are worried about little problems in life that after a while they seem so big. But if we look it from a bigger perspective, they are not so big. That's what happening with Khushi. She is so engrossed in her pain, her being a widow, that she is not seeing beyond it. Lavanya is helping her see that. Khushi is just scared, she will come through it..

Thanks for the super long...superb update!!!!
So Arnav is finally going to visit Khushi due to Mayas help...how sweet of her n Kailash... Loved their conversation in the cafeteria... Also the advice given to each other...shows their understanding n care..

Kailash seems a gem of a person..

Khushi seems to have a phobia of abandonment... Hence her apprehensions...

It was good to know that Khushi did wait for him...although there were no promises ...its good to c the way u let in little bits of the past and move the story forward... Just love our writing style...

After a divorce, I believe it's critical that parents develop a cordial relationship if there are children involved. My friend decided that since her husband divorced her she would ensure she divorced the girls from their father and she is succeeding. She moved to another state to be closer to her family, which is great because she does need that support system. However, I am disappointed with her that she will not let the girls stay in touch with their father. I am also disappointed with her for brainwashing the girls against their father. I feel so sad for the girls.

It takes strength in character and an understanding of the bigger picture to rise above the hurt to maintain the friendship that we have seen between Arnav and Maya and Kailash.
