This is one of the most beautiful updates, Mirabell. I read it, I re-read it and I re-read it!!
This chapter was all Arnav Khushi...like when they met all those years ago, they were free, ready to open up to each other, no walls, no hesitation in being close to each other physically to draw and give emotional strength support.
Fear of losing a loved one is the biggest fear and there is no medicine or cure or salve that can make the pain of losing a loved one go away!! It only cements that fear!! Khushi pushed Arnav away because of this fear, but NK with his love, persistence was able help Khushi see life beyond her demons..but his death has brought them back full force..and once again she is pushing Arnav away. But then love conquers all and Arnav will win the war he declared between them...but for both them...for Meera, for Mohan.
Memories are what keep us going in life but sometimes they are the ones that stop us from moving as we hold on them very tightly, like Khushi.
"I missed you"... I think these three words are not for the one day they were apart...it's for all those years Arnav was away from her!! He probably missed her every day since they time he drove away from her all those years ago.
The Kiss: It was raw, erotic and sensuous!! It defined the pull they have for each other.
