Indi, you've written his helplessness, his frustration so well. That debilitating feeling that he's failed at the very thing that has kept him going for so long ... taking care of his Di. And that silent communication between Anjali and him was so painful to witness. She's forced to accept that her child is no more. Grief, apology, powerlessness, all there in that glance. But, as you wrote, her subconscious never embraced it. Her instinct did prove correct. But her graciousness when she met Urmila was creditworthy. It all turned out well at the end, but to be able to look beyond the initial intent is not easy.
I loved the way wrote of the sheer love Arnav and Khushi have for each other. The vishwas' she has on him ... and that aap hamari dhadkan hain' ... perfect.
Indi, as you curtain band karo' on this story, can I just say I've loved reading it and, more so, interacting with you :)
Thank you!
