Good to see that you recovered. Will go and read and than will come back.

For me-- story started from prologue itself and I have to read each word in detail to understand true meaning and emotions. I just love it and am so glad that you came back to finish this awesome story. We all have AD and it gets to us time to time.

Hi Sandhya, An emotional chapter. You have beautifully stated the mind and working of an alcoholic who trying to give it up for his and his love's sake.

Akash is lucky to have a brother like Arnav. Poor Arnav torn between his prejudiced family and their problems. He is trying to do justice by all but it's ruining his peace of mind. You have brought up the emotions of all the Raizadas well. Especially Arthi and Akash! As a mother of a missing child Arthi is in a vulnerable position. I do feel sorry for her and her beleif in t

Hinking Anjali is still alive. I will feel the same too in her situation.

The interlude between Akash and Lav was a good medicine for agitated Akash!

Nowg for your questions:

A) i felt the story started moving when the first time Arnav came barging into Khushi's place blaming her for being there. But the real speed took up after he rushed to her rescue after her panic attack and call.

B) yes i may have skipped some part about labour problems and the talk with his uncle but not much i read almost the whole chapters.

A rollercoaster ride of emotions. I don't envy the Raizada's their riches which is quite common when rich people's issues are presented. You wonder what they are crying over when they have every possible thing the world could give them.

But the loss faced by Raizadas is gut wrenching to every mother, every brother, every family, be it the rich, middle-class or poor.

And you present it with such conviction that my heart pains for them. Akash and Lavanya combination is unique and I'm loving it.

Let me answer your 2 questions first

1. The story began at sentence one...The breakfast was a strained affair and ended with a visibly happy Akash. No question of boredom through it all.

2. I read each word carefully and therefore, no skimming.

Your language is excellent but it is not poetry that is meant to please the pleasure points. It is hard-hitting prose that grabs our attention and draws us into the midst of the story. It took me to the Raizada dining room and made me watch them struggle with their demons. It took me on a ride with Akash as he regretted his outburst and it took me to Lavanya's house to witness their love story. Thank you for writing and sharing this story.

Brilliant update

The scene at the breakfast table was awful...Aakash was downright rude and outrageous !! That slap a very well deserved one. .Good he realised his folly and decides to apologise. .

Like khushi Lavanya is a darling ...Loved her humour , wit and understanding nature ...She is the best rehab for Aakash than any other center he would go too... ( Didn't know about lavanya , her parents and suddenly the closeness between her and Aakash .I think have missed reading about their growing relationship or have forgotten 😕)

For me the first few chapters describing khushi's state her equation with her family and her quest to find answers for her nightmare , at that time found myself a zoned out..As in where is the story leading too and whats happened with her..

After knowing the truth about Anjali and probably after Arnavs entry and the attraction and understanding phase between him n khushi found the story gripping and interesting! !

And don't worry dear , your brilliant works are too good to miss , to not evoke eagerness and inquisitiveness and to keep wanting more :-)

Hi There!

Waiting for the other part. I never count the days btw updates as long as the story moves and my author is not stopping i dont mind the frequency.

coming to your 2 qs

1. The moment you revealed the main plot- Anju khushi besties , one kidnapped one surviiving and the characters reaction to that...splendid

Basically when you laid the backdrop itself I fell in love with the story, it was not a regular love-hate bond,, it was more n deeper..

2. Skimming...no way read as much as i can😉

This chapter, glimpse on akash n lavanya was unexpected surprise and was superb...someday after being so neglected or in general unhappy due to various reasons... after so many years finding one person you can relate or be happy being with them is a god's gift, how many manage to find it and how many manage to hold on to them...i sincerely hope that akash, khushi , arnav , lavanya do that...I hope everyone gets someone like that someday...

Akash was pathetic in this one. He needs help. His words to his mother were very hurtful. I liked lavanya for being so understanding.

I have one request though. It was difficult to read the note you have written in the third post. The color is too blurry and bright, it hurts my eyes. Hence I skipped that note. Please use any dark colors.

Very emotional update. Akash behaved like
an alcoholic who struggles to come out of it
and the interlude between him and Lavanya
much needed one . Very well written
My sympathies are with Aarti a vulnerable
mother and Arnav could not do anything
in between.The characters are so
natural those are in and around us.
I know next part is about our favourite
A &K
👏
Yes I feel the story is progressing when
Shyam introduced and Arnav &Khushi are
together.
I read every chapter without skipping
any thing ,sometimes twice .
