I count each day a little life, With birth and death complete;
I cloister it from care and strife And keep it sane and sweet.
O that all Life were but a Day Sunny and sweet and sane!
And that at Even I might say: "I sleep to wake again."
Exceptional Chapter Jen.

Anita's young heart at odds about her first love flutterings and self introspection is so touching, but I must say she has a healthy attitude about it. We will need Aman's thoughts about both the Gupta sisters to really know what he is thinking. Anita - Aman situation is tricky as well and has to be handled sensibly.
The
cray cray sisters - love it, though I really want Arnav to get the opportunity to put
z & z in the
cray & cray face to face and do it in his
oceanic way...calm and treacherous. 😆
Sujata has done such a wonderful job in raising her daughters, but in her dislike for Arnav she has neglected the sanctity of her home and family. She is not thinking in terms of what is best and happiness for Khushi but that which is best for her own ego. I am actually hoping she question Madhu about Arnav since she is aware of her longtime friendship with Aastha.
Anderson Cooper the incognito boyfriend. 😃
Khushi had very sound advice and soothing words for Anita and in the process also applied a salve to her heart.
Aunty Madhu, a surprise ally is just what Khushi needed. A kind gentle nudge to jostle her out of her reverie. A hug and reminiscing of Astha and Arnav and his happy early years was yet another super salve for Khushi.
Aunty Madhu's about turn and statement re the "
pagal" was hilarious, but there is truth in it. 😃
Khushi's subsequent longing for Arnav and meeting on the terrace threw her off pleasantly and boosted her confidence to seek closure to the "Madison" matter.
Jen, the waist chain
ministering...awesome. 👍🏼
Honest Lies = Truth and nothing but the truth to one's self. It is not about seeking forgiveness by reasons/excuses, but about being accepted with the guilt of the "
infringement and hurt" along with the promise to do one's best to not repeat them again.
Khushi's desire to know about what transpired may seem frivolous, but necessary to extinguish doubt to move forward.
The entire conversation was revealing and satisfying.
Khushi's repeat nightmare/dream - subconscious enigma appear nightmarish but they are a path of revelation to her soulmate.
In my opinion, Arnav is the phoenix in her dreams. He is the one rising from the despair in his life. He may not want to/be able to reveal the deep essence of who he is, but she needs to understand him to keep him from destroying himself. What Arnav went through in the bathroom was a purge of the toxins in his mind and body to rise once again. Saffron Fields are important because they are a happy place full of love; Aarav the grandfather, Aarav the son and now Khushi are his reasons to rise from the ashes of despair. Memories of the past and new ones to make. All that Arnav cannot voice is now known by Khushi.
Jen, I don't have words to express how brilliantly this dream sequence is penned. The whole chapter is outstanding.
