...that had made Dr. Flirtmaster whistle in appreciation and say that she was "as accomplished as she was beautiful."'As accomplished as beautiful' - The second best description I have read/heard about Pragya. On a side note, did the doctor really whistle? 😆
Bad enough that he couldn't remember his own wife - now he was feeling insecure about her on top of that!Abhi feeling bad about having a memory loss like any normal person would have after a major accident. THIS is missing on the show. Happy that you incorporated this.
Because - and this was the hardest part for Abhi to understand - she wasn't responding to his flirting either.
...What kind of a relationship did they have if she wasn't used to him smiling at her?
Would Abhi know about their past soon? A part of me wishes that he doesn't get to know it so soon but another part of me wishes that he should know how he made his better half's life bitter.
He tried to convince himself that she was just shy. She was obviously the traditional, sheltered type, so of course she wouldn't be comfortable expressing her attraction to him in public. He thought that when they were back home, he would get to see her playful side. When they were in private, she would surely be more open to him.
I am curious. How would he react when they finally get back home and see her being the same? Or would she change? My ML-less brain is also thinking like ML Abhi's brain. :P
And he reminded himself that of course she must be distracted by his health, even if he was feeling better day by day. It must have been traumatic for her to see him like this, even harder for her to know he'd forgotten her. Of course romance must be the last thing on her mind at the moment.
Hmm... He has a logical thinking brain
She ran her fingertip across the page, tracing a line under the elegant lettering of her name on the author line. It looked perfect. For the first time in her life, she was holding physical proof of a dream come true.
She looked up at Suresh and his grin was wider than ever. He opened his arms slightly, and that was as much invitation as she needed to jump up for a hug. Suresh lifted her off her feet and twirled her around once, and they laughed together from sheer exhilaration. Then he gently set her down and stepped away, folding his arms behind his back.
Thank you for giving this happy moment to Pragya amidst all the problems in her life. Special thanks to letting her celebrate it with someone who is genuinely concerned about her welfare @ best friend.
When I left your Daadi was making Bulbul read it to her and explain all the arguments."
Despite her tension, Pragya laughed. "Bulbul explaining literary theory? I'll need a recording of that."Arora Family No mention of Sarla Maa? *thinking*
Abhi's eyes widened. "Published? Internationally?" He flipped open the journal and started thumbing through the pages. "Where is your article?"
...Abhi found page twelve and read out the headline. "Fantasy and Figurative Illusion: Emblems of Escape in Contemporary Diaspora Children's Literature." He let out a low whistle. "That's just the title? It seems long enough to be an article on its own."
Another special moment for Pragz!! and your madeup article heading is so scary like a real published literary article's title.
"Y-you want me to read it to you? Really?" Pragya took the journal from him, staring at him in shock. Not only did he seem genuinely happy for her, now he wanted to hear the whole article? Never in a hundred years could she have imagined this reaction from Abhi, her rockstar husband.
I am copying a line from your chapter as my quote - Because...for once, she felt like being with her husband.
"You'll have to hear every word of every song I will ever release. I think it's fair that I should read every word you get published. I can't read it now, so you should read it to me. Really."
This statement is so Abhi! Don't ask me why!
"Eyy, Chashmish!"
Pragya's heart stuttered in her chest. The journal slipped from her hands as she stared at Abhi in a rush of shock. It felt like an eternity since she had last heard that name from his lips, and now here he was saying it the same way he had said it thousands of times before. How had his memory come back just like that, out of the blue? What would happen now that he remembered everything? Would he -
To be honest, I didn't read this paragraph attentively at first. I skipped this as I wanted to know what made him call her Chashmish as I was sure he didn't get his memory yet. Thanks to your note in the beginning. 😆
But I can't really skip it. This is a reality check to her na. He was being sensible and sweet to her. What if he gets back his memory? Could she expect him to be the same? No, she wouldn't. Well, it was my extrapolation as Abhi didn't let her think further by talking about his love - I mean Pragya's glasses.
"Chashmish," he repeated, mischief lighting his eyes. "My cute professor Chashmish, read on."
Return of Chashmish :D My cute professor Chashmish! So cute Abhi.
And did her best not to ask herself why she felt relieved that his memories had not come back yet.
Well, I am also relieved to see this S square Abhi (Sweet and Sensible). Would he go back to his old self if memories come back? This is so contrast with the show that I am not wishing for his memories to come back.
