Chapter 6 Review:
If last chapter had Ashu's self thoughts this is about Nidhi. Every minute in his company is only making her more vulnerable. And even if she's not in his company, she is vulnerable. That much has become clear to her as she fled the scene upon hearing the continuation of the story and the deep yearning, remorse and regret in his voice. She has learnt that in spite of all her hardstone shell she can just as easily be persuaded by the longing she sees in him. so once more she hardens her resolve to remain detached!
True. She fears her own vulnerability. Once bitten, twice shy.
Her firmness has lasted for the entire week, and now AShu is almost worried by her impassiveness, almost mentally begging for the old Nidhi to reappear somehow. He ahs recognized himself in her and knows what a lonely journey that is! And he wants her out of it. He silently wills her to change and is more determined than ever to stand by her.
very well explained Aarti. He doesn't want her to become like him because he knows what thats like. Laughter, impishness, liveliness, passion, love..all the things that he had associated with her and loved about her are nowhere seen now. That hurt him the most. The fact that he was the reason she was not that person any more.
Nidhi's inaction has even the troublesome twosome worried! And Armaan has revealed about Ashu's tacit agreement to all their shenanigans! That scene in the canteen was pure fun, love this pair! And they even smartly cajole the assistant doc, Bhargav to take a two week vacation, to clear the coast. Goes to show two intelligent, street smart men with good intensions can definitely give Destinty itself a run for its money!
👏 Loved this description. I couldn't have put it better myself. Thank you Aarti. 🤗
Nidhi as the senior managing a bunch if interns is an eye-opener. Goes to show how much one can change after being in a hospital day in and day out for the best part of 4 years... So Nidhi is the serious doc now and the interns look to her! Wonderful! But later as he enters what follows is sheer beauty... he is the one wearing the surgical mask but seeing him injured its her mask that slips.
😲 and you say you are not romantic.. do you realize you actually sound quite poetic here?? 😆
She unconsciously becomes his woman ministering her man soothing his wound and trying not to get affected by it. but she fails and he gets his ray of hope, one that he grabs with both hands and feet, even welcoming this injury. Loved this scene.. beautifully portrays the deep emotional involvement between these two. And yet he knows that if he even makes a move this magic will vanish... and it does! Nidhi tries to hide behind the professional faade but in vain! So once again she flees, this time because she has openly shown her vulnerability to him!
yes and that was all he wanted. One glimpse..a ray of hope for him to hold and pursue. And such is the joy at seeing that ray that he doesn't even mind her fleeing the scene.
So now it's Destiny's turn to help them... and bam, there's a function! Once more Ashu grabs this chance, its his second life line! He even convinces her to wait for him. But yet again he is reminded of the past because of one word... and more things get revealed in a different light, he realizes his own folly, this time with respect to his fears about their interests, age, depth of her feelings and most importantly Malika's influence!
He has realized his fears. Wonder what it would take for him to overcome those same fears.
Lovely chapter Sujatha... the OPD scene was very poignant. Waiting to see their trip to the orphanage!
I think you already saw that one too. 😆 thank you once again for explaining my chapter far better than i can do myself. 🤗 ❤️
