Loved how he even noticed the dance and everything and did not even confront her and went straight for the kill, Raghav 😆...
Loved his reaction to Raghav, what he did to him, was proud of it too and even what he said about him to Pragya 😆...This is the Abhi I know in the soap. I can so imagine his reaction like this...
Loved how he confronts Pragya everytime and cages her everytime. This is so apt, and so Abhi in the soap too...
Loved how he just ditches you know who 😡 without even thinking because Pragya is literally spelling out to him I am doing what you doing so what's your problem?!...Abhi ofcourse has only Pragya in his heart and mind so when she says this, hence the reaction. Loved, loved loved Pragya for this. Something that I would have loved and still hope to see at one point in the soap too...
My favourite...
Is breathing a choice? ...
This blew me away, imagine Pragya, she was definitely flying high...
Hailaaa...
Pragya is not his choice but his priority, his home, his heart, his want, his need, his breathing, his surviving facetor, his life, his comfort zone...
This is how he seen her since their childhood, in other words only his...
This is how I interpreted it as you showed how he surprised her with his surprise for her with all their special and meaningful things that meant to them from their childhood to now in their own home as he brought their home in the room with garden, tree, picnic homemade food that they desire and the gulab jaman, and everything, eeeppp. He recreated magical home for her and for both of them...Loved, loved, loved this ❤️...
This beats any materialistic things, that's why he never gifted her anything until the surprise. He wanted to make it a special and unique surprise for her which meant for both. He see's her as his home zone...
And I loved the first kiss and kisses and almost ahem moment between them 😛...
I would like to ask few things too if that is okay with you?!...
But why did Abhi said leave it for Suhaag Raat?! Why didn't Pragya say that?! And she was going to go for the kiss, but he stopped her?! Was it because they were in a positiion together that he thought he would lose himself totally to her and she did not mind at all?!
I am assuming Abhi said this because he has high respect for her and wants their first to be unique and special?!
And Pragya initiated first, but why didn't Abhi?!...
I know, I know Pragya tends to be the wild one in your fics 😉 😆 But I am just asking...
And you said that for some years afterward it was Pragya's best memory?! Why some years afterward?! What about during these years?!...
I really liked how they had a heart to heart talk and him realizing what she went through because he went through that same thing and couldn't even stand it for a second and for a moment, so so so glad he realized this. The guilt and never wanting to hurt her to begin with spoke volumes. Never mind Pragya, I needed this too with her 😆. This had to be a must, with him realizing and apologizing for the hurt he put her through when he couldn't take the same hurt. He was quick with the realization and to apologize for it too. I feel sane now 😆...This is something that I hope to get in the soap too but at the same time I am not delusional, if I don't get it I have no choice to but accept which I don't want. In real sense it should occur at one point in the soap too...
Loved the use of boy talks and the haraami word for some weird reason 😆. Loved how you added their arguments, bickering and nokhjohks since they can talk, so apt for Abhigya and soo cute.. Loved this ❤️...
I loved how it's said Pragya forgetting Valentines for sometime and Instead, for her and Abhi, it was the first day of the rest of their lives. This I interpreted as they both don't only just need to get married to each other soon but they both want to get married to each other soon...
And you're a fantastic writer 👏...

Got some questions for you too 😛 😆...I will be waiting patiently 😃...
Hehe Nadz, never any need to apologize to me for lateness, I am always guaranteed to be later 😆 😳 Thank you for waiting patiently!!
Since you've been waiting, let's get to the questions first. Now keep in mind...even though I wrote the story, when it comes to what is unsaid between the lines...my opinion is no more significant than anyone else's. Basically you can see it however makes sense to you, you don't have to agree with my version. And how see it is - Pragya was more excited about kissing because she has had a lot less practice than Abhi. He's done enough of it to be able to be calm about the whole thing, even though of course it's different and more exciting with the girl he loves compared to the past. Thus while he is happy to kiss her, this is one of the rare moments where he actually has more maturity than Pragya, and he has more on his mind than just the thrill of kissing. He needs to resolve the tangled feelings between them, and wants to actually talk to her and communicate with her now that they're going to take their relationship forward. For him there's lots of time ahead for kissing and more. When he tells her to save something for their SR, he's just trying to slow her down and remind her that they don't need to rush. They have all the time in the world. So they may as well take it slow and steady, and maybe sort out some important things by actually talking first 😆.
In contrast...Pragya is pretty much the happiest she has ever been, and now she finally has her hot pati-to-be all to herself. Hormones and excitement are controlling her entirely. She's not worried about the feelings and stuff because she knows they will figure that out later. She just wants to skip to the fun stuff for now, you know?
So in my opinion, neither of them were actually close to getting completely carried away. They're still quite young. And yes Abhi does respect her and yes both of them want their first time to be special, but when I wrote that scene...I wasn't imagining them actually thinking about sex 😛
"For some years afterwards" basically means that this was Pragya's favourite memory from that moment on and over the next few years until...can you guess...? Her wedding and SR of course 😆
Now going backwards to your other comments...
LOL at going "straight for the kill"! What a fantastic way to put it! And yes it's definitely how I like to see Abhi. I don't know about show Abhi, he can be strangely selfish and oblivious. But he has the potential to be ruthless and focused and possessive...so I'm glad you liked that portrayal of him and felt it was fitting characterization 😆
Abhi in the soap cages Pragya to intimidate her with physical proximity and sexual chemistry...Abhi in this fic does it because where else should Chashmish me, but between his arms...? 😛 😉
Ufff I adore how you put it, "Abhi ofcourse has only Pragya in his heart and mind" - YES!!! This is what makes it so easy for him to decide to let YKW go when the time comes. She never had much of a place in his heart and mind to begin with, and it's no difficulty to clear what little space she did have back for Pragya. I didn't think of it exactly this way when writing it but it really makes sense for how Abhi feels, so thank you for describing it like that.
And this too I loved: "Pragya is not his choice but his priority, his home, his heart, his want, his need, his breathing, his surviving facetor, his life, his comfort zone...This is how he seen her since their childhood, in other words only his..." - just beautiful Nads! Indeed, she is all those things, even if he could never put into words. Yes, he has always seen her as only his - and it will be an adjustment as they make their way to adulthood, to realize that he does in fact have to share her with the world, as she has as much right to live in it as he does...she's not going to just always be there in the background, existing
only for him! So this whole episode at Hogwarts is a wake up call for him, to realize he can't take her for granted and they need to share their lives going forward. Of course she is not a choice for him, but he does need to make the choice to be her partner and treat her as his partner. I hope I managed to show at the end that they're getting there. 😳
He does see her as his home zone, a lovely way to put it. Interesting thought about him not gifting her stuff...I didn't really think about that. But stuff is certainly not as important as feelings...and yes this whole feeling of sharing home, comfort, identity...definitely more meaningful and more simply joyous than just exchanging gifts! I mean if I could explain what I was thinking...like yes, Pragya noticed it was Valentine's Day and other girls got things...but Abhi really didn't care about that. For Abhi it was pataoing Chashmish day, you know? 😆
But it was also a day to relax and finally feel secure...because they're together now, no distractions and no excuses. And what better place to enjoy that than the comfort of home?
But...I hope this won't destroy the mystery too much for you, but since I've said this much I might as well explain exactly why that scene was written that way...I wanted their first kiss to be in the garden under the tree, and my beta (the birthday girl who encouraged me to finish this fic) wanted them to kiss at Hogwarts. So this was my compromise, lucky the magic of Hogwarts let us both have what we wanted!! 😆
And yes, the apology was for my sanity too! I find it hard to imagine show Abhi ever saying something so simple...but luckily fic Abhi, being younger, had made fewer complicated mistakes and therefore could resolve everything with a simple empathetic apology. Hehe. Him not being able to take the same hurt really made everything clear to him. Poor soap Abhi will always have too much going on around him to come to the same realization, I fear!
The haraami line, glad you liked...I think it's inspired from
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani...definitely a fun dialogue 😆
As for getting married and soon...welll again on this point every reader is free to imagine what feels right. But for my part...I don't see them getting married too too soon...they are betrothed but life can still get in the way...and Abhi may eventually regret that 'wait for the SR' attitude...😛
I hope to write a followup scene or two in this same universe so you can see what I mean. Someday!! Thank you so much for reading and sharing your detailed thoughts Nadz, it's super extra fun for me to talk so much about this story 😃 😆 🤗
