First of all, I want to say that I really liked the title of the chapter for the dual meanings it stood for. It wasn't only about the girl 'Pari' but it was also somewhat related to Papa's Pari... 😊 Yes also the song had the clue, mere ghar aayi ek nanhi Pari...
Dev and Sasha were sort of funny with their rhymes. 😆 But there was one thing in their conversation which gave me a mindless pleasure. 'Maan is like the sun, totally unreachable.' Don't ask me what exactly made me happy about this statement because I won't be able to point out. 😳
Maan is always dedicated to Geet in my stories... no one even stands a chance...
I'm very, very impressed with Dev. Like Naintara, I also took him to be the rich guy born with a silver spoon but boy! Did he surprise me with his professional side! There was a glimpse of this side in the previous chapter of these two but I was still taken by surprise when he switched from being the flirty guy who opened the door for the woman to the friend who spent some happy reuniting moments to the guy who taunted about Naintara raising her trunk (this had me laugh out loud! 😆) to the boss with a sharp knowledge of his work to the boss who explained the tricks of marketing to his employee. Oh yes, that explanatory of branding really had me nodding in agreement with him, thinking that yes he's right. But I think I agree with Naintara more. The next time Dev will have to actually contribute in the work. 😃

Another thing that raised my curiosity was Dev's 'don't you ever do that to me again, I-star'. Dev was afraid of being left amidst Singhanias? And why do I sense him a little strained towards Pari? She has a crush on him and he's the playboy, so why is he not actually doing what playboys usually do?He is seeing her after four years. There is always an irritation for teenage boys to have a much young girler chasing them, the age difference is awkward at that time. Now four years later, he was checking her out...doing what playboys do...

Naintara's past. One of the things of this story which will always have me thinking. What happened to her? Why was she thrown out of her house? Why doesn't she believe in relations any more? And most importantly, what is her connection with Dev? I guess it's only patience that I should hold on to.

Why can't she fall in love with Dev at first sight, banda cute hai...? In her mind, Dev is unattainable to her.

Oh boy oh boy! Dev is something!! Head on her shoulder. 😃 I can't wait to see what happens next!

Thanks for updating Avi! Waiting for Hoshwaalon Ko Khabar. 😳

PS: Can you tell the name with which I can search the VM on YT? And the uploader's name as well? I can't open the VM over here but I can open it somewhere else so I'd love to watch it! 😊

This chapter was very well written ...👏

I liked how Naina checked him out in the start while he was standing in the driveway. She is quite aware of his presence & also makes a note of minute deatils (That must be her nature as a rule book specialist... yet for Dev it is just more refined senses to take it all in..). I feel she knows him from before where there must be some attraction yet past events in her life have made her wary towards any bond or relations, especially those of love. But it looks like she's fighting a loosing battle. Oopsie! In all the admiration & secret scanning she forgot to see his chivalry of keeping the door open for her, & ended up being more of a snub for him from her side.

She is purposely keeping her distance... as for checking him out, banda cute hai, toh of course that will happen...

I like how Dev's character is being strengthened in each update. It is always that the lead is given much of the limelight, but what I like here is that each character has been given their own space & scope for growth. Dev here is one with shades, I like this variety that he shows in him. Sometimes flirt, happy go lucky, easy going, hard working, knowing others worth, loving, & chivalrous & making the other feel at comfort with his humour & soft nature when needed.

He is quite a character. Actually having to curtail myself too hard to restrict them to alternate chapters...

I liked Dev & Shasha name calling... devu-favu, shasha- tamasha... 😆 The tamasha I read for the first time as Tamacha...(that's now stuck in my mind... 😆) Ruli-pedia was another good one. How do you come up with these amazing names & word teases. Shasha being so easy going just showed what an effect & ease Dev causes in the environment & his employees yet earns respect. All of this in the single statement of - "Maan is like the sun ... unreachable" , I'm not saying anything Bad about Maan but then you also need someone like Dev around to balance it all.

Maan is a different type of boss than him but that is MSK style.

Another aspect was very well brought out was - how Naina gradually admired Dev, the way her preconcieved notion of Dev being richie rich & snob turned to be an admiration of his hard work & knowledge of his work showing he is well versed in it all. Indeed a man of substance.

I did like his marketting tip, but somehwere I felt he should have taken her into confidence before throwing the bomb on her all of a sudden. Don't know must be the way I view it but it becomes too bad for the person facing it as Naina was made to face it out of the blue. Anyways liked it... As it revealed another aspect fo how Naina is deeply hurt within as she unconciously relates it all to her past experiences. Something drastic must have happened for her to cut off all ties as well as wanting detachment even now. She is in a way protecting her self being all hard & one very professional in order to not be scarred further more than waht she already is, but then she isn't realising that being so she is not allowing anybody to step in and heal her wounds, Hopefully Dev will be able to cross the barrier she has created for all.

Question is does he want to. There will be a huge push and pull in this relationship.

The song 'Mere ghar aayi ek nanhi pari..' tugged my heart. I really felt for this girl here... who portrays to the world as a headstrong girl quite independent to fight her own battles yet somewhere there is a small girl within her who just wants to be her Daddy's girl, wanting her Dad's embrace to coccon her fo all adversities in life. Hoping Dev with his jovial nature & softness can break her hard exterior & bring that girl out of her who can enjoy life with its unpredictibility & not only be abiding to rules always... 😊

She is too strong to let someone decide her fate. She will stand on her own feet. I don't believe in knights in shining armor, I would much rather climb Everest myself. Unless you are yourself strong, you don't have much to offer someone else, just my POV...😊

Continue soon. ...
