~Arhi FF~#3~The Hands of Time~ - Page 35

Hello Sandhyaji! First of all, I want to say sorry for not being able to comment earlier. I am really very sorry. I would try my best to comment as soon as an update comes.

This was a wonderful update. One thing I love about your updates is that each one of them contains different emotions. From light-heartedness to the emotional struggle of characters, you can portray every emotion very well.

I think this is the first time I am reading about such a mature and optimistic Arnav. This is seriously a refreshing change and I gladly welcomed it with open arms. He didn't let the demons of his past ruin his present and future. Of course, memories of Anjali cannot be forgotten ever. But he handled it nicely, though he acted irrationally back when he was thirteen. He was a teenager back then who was severely hurt due to the loss of his sister and whose family was drowned in grief. I am not justifying or defending his actions but we also can't blame him completely, right? Which young boy, of a tender age of thirteen, would act sensibly given the kind of situation Arnav faced? I am relieved to know that Shashi came to save him just at the nick of time.

I think it's very cute how Arnav behaves when it comes to Khushi; how he wants to be around Khushi is very adorable. The wise and controlled Arnav simply flies out of the window. "Arnav could not recall the last time he had been as unsure...He neither understood the insane impulses nor could he resist them"-aww! Bechaara haalat ka maara 😛

The way you described Khushi's emotions at Top of the World was very overwhelming. I feel so bad for Khushi. She is feeling guilty for something she didn't have a say in. Guilt is such a miserable feeling to live with. I can't even imagine how she is tolerating this feeling for so long. I just hope she comes out of her misery soon and copes with the bitter truth. I am glad that she has already taken the initiative by facing her past. How long should she suffer for something she didn't do? She doesn't deserve it at all. Thank god, Arnav doesn't blame Khushi for what happened to Anjali. Now I just hope Khushi gets her share of happiness and that includes Arnav as well 😉

According to a website, Laburnum flowers are considered to symbolize pensive beauty and wistful thought. Laburnum trees are poisonous and therefore, harmful to us. Anjali is a beautiful memory for her loved ones. Everyone wants her back badly and can do anything to get her back safely. She is immensely loved and desired by her dear ones. But at the same time, her memories brings back many bitter memories. Is that also a reason Arnav chose to plant Laburnum trees apart from the fact that Anjali loves Laburnum trees? I don't know how it came to my mind but I just thought of that. I don't know if that makes any sense or not 😛

So, Khushi loved Arnav's new look? Arnav must be in the seventh heaven! 😆

Arnav is confused about his feelings? I understand that he must be going through a hard time comprehending his feelings and about other crucial matters IF he wants to be in a relationship with Khushi. But distancing himself from Khushi is not a solution. I just hope he doesn't do that.

Another missing child. This time it was Lakshmi's daughter. When will these things stop? About one lakh children go missing on average every year in India. And guess what? People don't care about it. There would be headlines about missing children one day and people will forget it the next day. But what about that family? How are they going to forget their kid? These things just come as a reminder that how ignorant and desensitized our world has become! Those who abduct these kids, don't they have even a tiny bit of humanity in them? How can they do this to those innocent kids? And not only in India, this is happening in other countries as well.

The way both Arnav and Khushi connected with each other in Anjali's matter was very touching. Both love Anjali a lot. So they can understand each other's pain really well. It's true that we can understand others better if we face similar situations.

The moment between Arnav and Khushi was so lovely. Arnav understood Khushi's hesitation and thoughts so well. The way Arnav asked her to say his name and told her to keep practicing his name till they meet again...my dhak dhak had already started. So, there is a next time. Arnav thinks there will be a next time! He is not going to be all grumpy around her because of his conflicting thoughts. Yippee! The Arshian in me can never die 😆

Thank you so much for the pms, Sandhyaji! Take care.
