Loved the update and the Q & As too! Arnav and Khushi are coming closer and have become important to each other. I'm sure they are aware of it. Creepy HP was lurking around today, reason to be apprehensive. Cold, calculative, insecure Poonam now growing a heart; really, or... And suddenly Khushi has someone to share her load too, really, other than Preeto or Akash. I hope dealing with SS doesn't bring old ghosts back.

I liked it. It was nice and few things which matters got cleared out. I thought there was something going on between Payal & Akash but actually never thought that it'll be kind of physical. And what now? Arnav Payal have broke up so what are these two doing now? Are they trying to get together?
I'm happy that Khushi stopped Shekhawat's advances and involvement by telling her family about it openly. I hope Shekhawat will stop being a pesky leech to her now and also to their family.
Well I must say like NK's brigade of disappointed Raizadas I'm disappointed too. I wanted to know reaction of Poonam raizada. I know she is still not completely at peace with Khushi, even if she thinks Khushi was not at fault. But her reaction would have somehow showed her state of mind. But never mind, some other time.
Aman is truly his old self with all his jokes & all. But I think it's time he talks to Arnav and renews their friendship once again.
Arnav is capable of deep love..
BTW was the trip & fall in Tewari & sons the one you were talking about? We were talking about rabba ves, weren't we?

Love your writing! I just want to keep reading and when the update comes to an end, I want more :-)

Your insight into the every day activities into so many people is amazing! And there is always the surprise factor in each update that keeps the reader always trying to guess what's next :-)

So Khushi decided not to go to the Annaprasan. Everyone in the family (NK,Aman, Anjali etc) had an opinion about that but the most important one was Arnav's - what a revelation - to realize that he may be able to love after all?

- Just realised how sneakily the saviour supportive Arnav was reintroduced to the Gupta household😊 Had wondered how Khushi will make her family accept Arnav again. The acceptance phase has been set in motion... One down and the other...

- Grisly Mama Raizada bear acceptance of Khushi will be a bit dramatic or she will do it for Arnav's happiness

Not that it matters in the long run but I like how Arnav is the first one to realise that he might be falling in love though Khushi would be the difficult one.

Loved the last two chapters ! I'll comment properly later :D

Radhika, Thanks for the update and an entertaining Q & A. :)

My highlight was " Maybe he was wrong when he said that it was not possible for him to feel and love deeply." He is slowly acknowledging to himself that he sure feels strongly for her. He realizes that Kushi did not want him to choose between herself and his mother, especially when he told her that he will not be silent if anyone ill treats her. You showed us how Arnav is slowly finding himself entangled in her. He is restless when he is unable to know her whereabouts even for a day. His restlessness knowing that Aman's mother recommended her to Alchemy mgmt. He is unknowingly drawn to her when he is low. I am loving it..

HP is intriguing just as Poonam Raizada..I guess HP was around Arnav wanting to know what Arnav is upto. In the process, he may even have eavesdropped Arnav and Akash convo.HP gives eerie vibe to everyone I guess.😲 See, how even NK and Junju behaved around him..

And I was pleasantly surprised and shocked that you made Arnav's introduction to Gupta's so effortlessly and he has become very acceptable to them!! None did question why and how Arnav was involved in all this?! However, I am very much delighted to know that Kushi's family was way too supportive of her, especially her Baba. Now, what will be the shady Shekawat's next move? Of course, he will put her on the spot..but how?

I am desperate to know what is cooking in Poonam Raizada's mind...how come she realize Kushi is innocent and has changed her opinion of her. Did she know the truth for long? But she also seems to be loosen up a bit...she is showing her emotional side..Or does she realize that her son's happiness is connected with Kushi?!

Arnav is hurt and feels betrayed knowing Payal's infidelity. But was it necessary for Akash to come clean with Arnav? I wonder why Payal and Akash are not together? Knowing Payal had moved on with Akash would not have hurt Arnav this much..but the infidelity bit made him feel betrayed.

And I love NK.he is such a gem of a person..concerned about everyone...And I loved the Arjoon Bose and Nk conversation between Di and cutie..

I hope you will update this next week..the wait is killing me, though I do not want to pester you with updates..😕

I have come to realize that Arjoon Bose is my fave character in the story. (I need a face for him & Aman) IMO he, and now Thumpa are the only two people who really understand Arnav. Sure others love him, but there is an element of selfishness and judgment among all.

Khushi might have suffered more, but she is emotionally not stunted because barring Poonam Raizada and Arnav in the past everyone has come through for her. I liked the way you wrote the scene between her father and Shekawat. The strength of your storytelling is in its realism, and you could have written the scene where Shashi Gupta could have turned against his daughter and blamed her for the predicament she was in. Happens to women all the time in the real world. But you gave that an almost filmi spin by making the father implicitly have trust in his daughter. Only when I read that scene, I realized that I would have been very upset with Shashi if he had placed the burden of proof on Khushi.

The only blip in Khushi's life is Poonam Raizada and no matter how much she tells Arnav that she has put the farmhouse incident and events that followed it behind her, she will get closure only when Poonam and she confront this. Now that I think about it, Anjali is not turning into an antagonist, but she wants her mother and this young woman (whom she perhaps likes) to move on. She engineered the meeting for that. But unfortunately it didn't work out as she planned.

I understand when you say that Poonam & Khushi have to become the person they have to become to meet each other. The class difference between Khushi and the Raizadas will never go away. Neither will the intrinsic suspicion that Khushi and Poonam have for each other. They are not going to form a sudden friendship on anything. They will eventually put that past aside for Arnav - like a permanent ceasefire, I reckon. Poonam's late spurt of mom-guilt and Khushi's long repressed, secret affection for Arnav will help in the women meeting each other. I think both the women have taken the step in that direction. Khushi by not showing up for Thumpa's ceremony as she did not want Arnav to have to choose between anyone. And Poonam has shown that if Arnav opens up about Khushi to him, she might at least listen, even if she may not approve. So I am certain Poonam and Khushi will have many hit-and-miss encounters before an actual meeting. IMO Khushi needs to learn more selfishness and Poonam more compassion and humanity, which will take a while. I see a 'happyish' end! I also suspect that this eventual encounter will happen at Tewari & Sons 😛 That accounts for the title too. Still unsure how the Goblet of Fire fits the equation though!

I have read only one novel of Chetan Bhagat, which I didn't care for. But your writing has nuance, is unsentimental and characters who are real. Each time I read your update I realize that I recognize and know all these people. You don't seem like someone who needs validation, but still wanted to put it out there 😆
