Don't know how you do it, Sandy.

Khushi saying Arnav's name at the end and his smile had my heart beating fast.

Just waiting for something to happen.😳

He knew where she would go when upset.

And there she was resting against the tree he planted.

I love laburnum trees when they are in bloom.

Could imagine Khushi's joy and surprise at seeing it there.

They both seem to have forgotten the antagonism and a certain camaraderie has developed between the two. Hopefully this will go further soon.😉

There seems to be a racket going on in their area where young girls are kidnapped.

I hope nothing awful has happened to Anjali.

Hope your internet woes are over.

The Chinese need to import some technology from India, if you know what I mean.😆😉

Sandhya, this res is for your amazing story telling skills.

********************************************************************************

Sandhya, I am feeling bad that I did not follow your Dawn, noon and dusk instead I read it once it was totally completed. The reason I am saying this is, when one is reading a completed story, we tend to concentrate on the bigger picture and lose sight of the smaller hidden gems in the story. .

Having said that I am so glad that I am following this story and after reading each update atleast 2-3 times, I get a feeling that with each update I am discovering a valuable gem hidden in it.

This update just blew me away. What a deja vu kind of situation it was for both Arnav and Khushi.

The same place, the same feeling of being lost for one and looking for the lost one for the other, life indeed came a full circle for these two today.

The rational adult in her said knew it was an occurrence that was as normal as the sunrise and sunset, for the wildflowers always blossomed immediately after monsoons. The child in her had a different theory. She was sure that it was Anjali's way of welcoming her.

What is troubling you? Why haven't you moved on from that place, the very spot where I left you twenty years ago? Why do you hold yourself back from feeling happiness? I see that happening every few minutes. What makes you think that you can assuage your guilt by living in misery? It doesn't work that way.

When he had planted that Laburnum tree fifteen years ago in his sister's memory, he had thought of Khushi, wondering whether she would ever come back here to visit. His heart had leapt seeing her resting under the tree. Now, his sister's memory felt complete. He felt complete.

Its sentences like the above which would remain in my memory long after you have even completed this story. I wish I was a poet to describe the beauty of such sentences but words are just failing me today.

"Arnav!" A stunning smile split her face.

"Better. Keep practicing until we meet again. Ciao. Khushi." He saluted with a wink.

Yes Sandhya, trust me I am going to keep practicing his name until you give us the next update. 😉

Loved it, just loved it. Arnav and Khushis, and also akash's friendship is like wine, it has matured with age. I savoured every sip of it and am feeling warm and fuzzy. Thank you for a great update. Cheers!

Loved it. Sorry for the really late comment. Last chapter Akash's version of Shashi Kaka. This time we get to know how his advice impacted Arnav's life. Now I am curious to know what deal he made with Aarthi Raizada . So at even thirteen years old he was able see and assure her she's not responsible the incidents. Trying to make her feel better by absolving her from her guilt. He himself finding solace in Khushi by hearing about missing pieces of his sisters interest and passion. The pain of losing someone without a trace is too painful. You don't get closure and not knowing anything about them makes you emotionally traps you and stops you living life in complete sense. Beautiful narration. Thx for the PM.

Hmm ... I suspect the hand of Aarti Raizada 😆

Thank you for letting us know Charu 🤗
