I can't believe I had missed this story all along since 2014!! This stands among the best top 10 fanfics of Arshi (or may I dare to say top 5) when it comes to realistic and hard-hitting fiction. Depicting the life of arnav and khushi since their high school years in an elite South Delhi school till their adulthood. I am amazed at how hard working khushi is. The way she multi-tasks her studies, her babuji's shop and then her sports activities is just awe-inspiring. Sigh! If only I had acquired even a little bit of that determination. And then there is arnav, payal, akash, NK, La, aman, preeto, anjali (jhalli), joon jiju, arnav's mom, khushi's family, renu bhabhi, and shyam (who just got introduced to us in the last chapters). Then there is the tiny one, thumpa! I have never read a story where all the other characters are etched out with as much love and care as the protagonists. All of them breathe life into this story. I can connect them all with real-life people. Even the really minor characters like the political gundas and also the neighbours in khushi's chandni chowk are carved out with so much intensity, that it's a real treat to read even the small scenes concerning them.
I came across one reader's comment where she had described this story as not a love story, but a life story. How true is that! This story deserves to be written into a book. I don't usually opine this about any story that I have liked, but this one is totally a class of its own, something that I have never read before. The story is intense, brave and yet has an underlying comic element! People who have missed this one should really read it, even if it's not completed. The 19 chapters are an enjoyable ride! I swear I couldn't sleep for almost 48 hours(much more than that) until I could finish this one. I was even eating and reading it. Read it all in one go. And let out my breath only after I completed it.
Is there any chance for you to come back and complete it? There are so many things still untold. Is aman harbouring something for khushi? Has arnav's mom finally reconciled into forgiving her? What about Tewari shop? Will khushi have success in her sports career or will that shop pose a hindrance to it? I do sincerely hope you continue it one day. Or even make a book out of it.
