Hello
Mints you are brilliant...I loved loved this one. So different and yet I could visualise our Arhi in it easily, you created magic. The myriads of emotions and depth is the story...I am a fan for sure..
He is a product of his circumstances and the way you brought that out was mind blowing ...his complexes, his need to stay detached and aloof all stemming from the fights at home that unfortunately he was a witness to, a position no child should be in.
The way he is sitting on that bench watching the other children as an outsider...an positive and ever optimistic Khushi...
I liked that he steered himself towards something creative, many a times children like this can go astray. Knowing that you are different and how you are perceived by other children that you don't for into the image of a 'cool kid' at that age is so difficult, so I believe he shows tremendous character and individuality and was destined for bigger and better things...
His own little world up in his tree house, where like a prefect plan personally orchestrated by God, stumbled his Khushi, literally as she goes on to be a source of joy and happiness for him going forward.
I loved the way you described her and his interaction, your words were so perfect and painted such a beautiful picture of their encounter..her garrulous nature that is an exact opposite of his but provided him unknowingly so much solace and comfort and continues to do so as their friendship and they grow...
I like that Shyam remained a bit aloof, this was to me very natural, I loved the way he drew his strength from Khushi and I loved how he would always be there to catch her.
My heart broke when he decided to leave and break all contact with her, and I can not even imagine what she must have felt when he would have not been able to meet her when she went to London.
Her description, the way she makes him feel in that red saree at the wedding, where he not only check out to see if there are any signs of her being married to being jealous of the attention she was getting was superb.
Loved that she makes me grovel before finally agreeing and accepting him back in her life. I know she would have made him work hard.
I loved her candid confession ...her faith and her belief in him. She stumbled not alway accidentally, maybe she did, but subconsciously she knew the the stumbling was her way to freeze a moment that she would get to see all that she wanted to see and feel in his eyes and his touch...
And I loved how she becomes an independent and successful entrepreneur and he is proud of her accomplishment...I love baby Anahira ...I could picture her there perfectly ...
Mints, Dee is a lucky girl to have such a beautiful story dedicated to her...one of your best...such a wholesome, feel happy story. Perfectly developed characters...a sense of reality in the word of fiction.
Dee Happy birthday darling...I have two gems ...really...
