Sarah,
Enjoyed reading this chapter and an lovely and heart warming update !
Finally Shivaay decided to atleast give Annika some respite regarding his late night mysteries...and when I read about Gauri, I was happy and sad too... Sad because of her past and happy because of the way you described Gauri... smiling with eyes and her genuine happiness meeting her sister in law...
So much melancholy in both their lives that they keep drifting into their own sad world...
When Annika said, "I used to like Spring", it reflected her current state of mind...like how every thing changed for her and now she no longer thinks of what she liked in past as related to present... its like she is lost some where in that past and what remains of her is just her physical body where she no longer connects to it...and yet for Shivaay she does feel those things... like she wanted to know where is going to every night...not sure if she knows what she feels for him...because she is in constant battle with herself regarding him.. like she wanted to know where he went and yet thinking that it shouldn't be a matter of her concern at all...and then her doubt of being the second woman or left over if she comes across the truth...some times it feels like ignorance is bliss...
Will be waiting as usual for the next update !
