Chapter 55:
Heart rendering beautiful. I loved the happiness that emanated from being together for one day. The scene at the dhabba was quite sad, but it was a happy memory , one to be cherished by both of them. Who knows one day their son will will be blowing bubbles, and squealing when he catches them too.
[I] That scene [\I] as you put it was exactly what it should have been, passionate and sweet at the same time, the first time since they had reunited couldnt be sweet, desire to have the one you love should be explosive... I just hope they were 'safe'..I don't think either 8f them are ready for thst explosion until they are married. Arnav views on marriage are stilted to say the least, once he is married to her I hope he realises the difference it makes to a relationship.to a family at that.
Indian Society is still very much no physical relationship before marriage so he needs to accept that this will be a hurdle in their relationship no matter what.

where is he going? Back to the saffron fields?

Ch 56
Glad that Arnie and khushi romance is back .don't know why people just throw their opinions without knowing the truth.but khushi is right.feeling bad for any.great chappy.

Khushi is overthinking as usual. Maybe she is too naive to understand that this is life, with people good, bad & ok. However, her Mom is a different case altogether. My sympathies with.Khushi

nice dear
thank u for pm
loved it

She had learnt of how staying happy could be turned into a choice. A shift in perspectives, a tweaking of inner controls, a lesson in gratitude.--- Love this!

A man softened by fatherhood, strengthened by grief, mellowed by lifeA man, who despite having gone through the trauma of a failed relationship, was brave enough to believe in love, to open his heart to love...--- Nice scripting here Jenny!

And yes, I agree with Arnav, Khushi was making him too nice...Arnav was insecure and that insecurity and selfishness lead him to hurt her and Khushi was also to blame for her cowardliness...past is past..glad to see them together in peace...

"He would make me carry him to chase the bubbles, to catch them on his palm before they bursted. And with every bubble he caught, he would shriek with joy". ---wow! That's a lovely picture you painted...a painful one for Arnav though...It was the first time Arnav was able to share Aarav's memory with a smile. ...he is healing then!


If radio's slim fingers can pluck a melody from night and toss it over a continent or sea;
If the petaled white notes from a violin are blown across the mountains or the city's din;
If songs, like crimson roses, are culled from thin blue air...
Why should mortals wonder if God hears prayers?***

Wow! That's awesome!

Btw, a note of observation, while khushi loved to play tourist, Arnav seems to have a one track mind...And thanks for the wonderful tour of Mirzapur..however, I enjoyed their intimacy...its impactful! Wink!


"I still believe that a relationship can't be made or broken nor can fidelity be imposed by a ritual or a signature",---that's true..good point...

"True emotions, in my opinion, are far more sacred than rituals and a lot more binding than signatures. When these emotions exist between two adults, validation from society, although admittedly necessary at times, is simply superfluous When these emotions do not exist or cease to exist, sacred vows, be it to spend all seven lives together or to not part until death, become immaterial. These vows should not be used to turn marriage into a noose around neck, all in the guise of a 'holy' duty".---nice scripting Jenny...even though I believe in the institution of marriage, I cant help but agree with Arnav's points here..

her happiness as always tempered with a touch of sadness at that person's thought who would've exchanged anything in the world to be in her space right now. How easily life had given her what that other person had strove endlessly to attain...--- I loved this thought and that intensity...I am sucker for unrequited love and may be that's why I loved this part where Khushi thought of Lavanya...just loved it Jenny!

Khushi was unprepared for the way her heart squeezed with an intense longing for her own mother. For her acceptance and understanding. For her trust and pride. For her unconditional love.--- Beautifully presented...that yearning of Khushi was perfectly done!


Memories, intangible entities floating in ether, are powerful. They can be a picture in a wounded soldier's wallet that pushes him to move one more step or the fuel to keep the fire of one's private purgatory burning till the end of time. ---excellent analogy!

His features softened with compassion at the child-like yearning he glimpsed in her eyes, "But I'm here", he added with a small, reassuring smile. --- love this papa jenny!

Knowing Khushi, he knew her happiness would be complete only when Sujata was happy too. ---aha! I get this...some daughters and mothers are like that...they fight all the time and they love deeply...got reminded of my mom Jenny...

Aha! Aman confesses that he misses the friendship...I am happy that Anita ignored him, he deserved it...though its hard for her...she shouldn't settle for less...

While Anita's young heart was confused by Aman's attitude and didn't know what to make of it on one hand, on the other, it strictly forbade it to indulge in the foolishness of wishful thinking. --- poor girl! Hugs!




Many seedlings of change were sown in Khushi's heart that night and Khushi could only discern them upon hindsight many years later. Apart from her mother's call that never came, there was another event later that night, a painful event, that acted as a catalyst for a deep introspection...a subconscious sowing of seedlings...a change in perspective.--- here you left me curious...nice style of writing...

And in that moment- Khushi steeled her back and held her head high. She pronounced herself... Not Guilty. ---Lovely! Finally some spine she grew!

Aptly titled chapters. Vows and validation. Arnav's regret of not meeting her in his carefree lighter years and Khushi assurance of her love for the man who's amazing character strengthened by trials and tribulations. The trials in their relationship made Arnav and Khushi realize worth of each other in their relationship and strengthen their union. Loved the way Arnav shared his happier past with Aarav and trying to find solace in Khushi words his son's happiness after life. The love for Aarav explains what role he loved in his previous relationship. Being a father. That's why Lavanya's accusation hurt him badly even though he knew about Lavanya 's mental status. Your description about mirzapur and chunar fort makes me wants add to my itinerary to my next visit. Vows or not they both promise to be with each other for seven lives. Neither his disbelief in swath pheres or her views about living together without it are going to deter from that promise. Finally both of them seeking physical comfort after their emotional comfort after a long break. Exploration of a long hidden tattoo along with long buried passion. Heartwarming and passionate chapter. Thx for the PM.

Chapter56
Beautiful proposal. Even though not in classy restaurant but in the bed, not formerly dressed but dressed like as the day they're born, not the romantic music playing on the background but the humming of running A/C the love and soul of the proposal made it romantic. That romantic proposal needed a passionate answer and Arnav got that from her as a answer. After the proposal he asked for her hand in marriage from her father. Navin as always understanding their love and protective for each other gives his blessing. Still Sujatha refuses to accept their relationship. Slowly she's taking this bitterness towards a ego clash. No doubt her love for Khushi but by this kind of behavior she's not only alienating Khushi but hurting her too badly. Aman needs to grow up. For sure if not in age Anita more mature and sensitive than Aman. Khushi's guilt towards Lavanya was always troubles her in most of her happier moments. But insensitive and unthoughtful comment from Aman's mom and his cousin helps her to exorcise that demon. Truly a lesson not be judgmental in commenting and passing judgements for the matters we have partial knowledge of . Thx for the PM.
