Kat! This update was beautiful! Love how Pragya is getting closer to him layer by layer, like peeling an onion! (or maybe something more romantic like a rose or something 😆) I love that you said the kitchen was large enough for her to waltz in - a reference to the original story? I love the Abhigya interaction in this one. Poor Abhi is so starved for love. 😭 Really excited for the next bits!

Hehe - onions are just fine Rani - the Abhi here... stings 😆. Hmmm, i used waltz to give a sense of space, size. Just a happy coincidence that Belle and Beast used to waltz too. Or perhaps not - i may have had their famous dancing pose in my brain.

my lappy is acting funky - i've been trying to get on IFfor two days now just to comment on these two chapters- and i'm oh so glad that laptop god had good temperament and i got to read these!
awesome writing! ( i know beating a dead horse- but i couldn't NOT say it!! ) oh how i've missed your writing 🤗
i loved how beautifully the scenes are set up- be it beautiful evening when pragya is driving or menacing mansion. but you already know i love that :D
one of my fav part was the look of abhi- that it's the contrast that's shocking.
second chapter left me wanting to know more about abhi's life and that horrific tragedy. also, abhi doesn't flinch away from pragya. eventhough he hides in the darkness. i find this interesting. hope you explore more of this psyche
continue soon :) and if possible pm me
though i might not be able to get back anytime soon, if laptop dies on me :(

RUTU!!!! 🤗 Its been like, what - forever?? Ok - fix your darned email will you woman! How can you survive without email?? (Lucky you! But still - fix it!).

Hehe - are my descriptive skills improving then? I try, my friend. And you noticed the contrast bit in his face! Yep - i didn't want it to be repulsive; isntead i was going for the shock effect.

Not much time to explore psyches in this one. I intend to wrap it up in 4-5 chapters. I really have to you know - have too many ongoing ones.

res! have been haunting in hopes so heehee here i am :D

UNRES

ok exciting! that plan of campaign has so much tension built into it. i like the idea of getting to see pragya pushing abhi to overcome his self-imposed boundaries - and him resisting at all the most critical moments!

there was so much beauty in the way you described his grief in this chapter. and something really fulfilling in the way pragya is the one to see it. 👏

thank you for the update! a heavy hitting chapter, but with such movement. i'm more in love with this story by the day 😃

Great update wow Pragya managed to make him agree to an interview that was good it was not easy but she did it well done

I like how they both just sat there and talked poor guy is hiding from the world because of the accident

So Tanu left him because of how he looks
Cannot wait to read the next update

OOh what a nail-biting chapter! I love that you have not just emotions but also the other realities of life like legal issues and business concerns in your fic. Really helps with the world building. I love that they are comrades now! That word connotes equality - which is something Abhigya desperately lack in most spaces.

Res! 😉

i liked the shifting of tangible emotions in this one
abhi is opening up to her- does he even realize it? or is he so starved for human company? him talking about his family and then tanu leaving him was...sad :(
the tension during their talk of strategy was gripping- loved it!
continue soon
my email is fixed :P

Kat!! I am loving the story!!! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful different story with us!! I love the last line that you have comrade-in-arms Pragya, Abhishek! love it!!! Please update soon!! I really want to see where the story is going!!! Cannot wait!

AWW such a sad life he has 😭 Great story by the way !!!!!!!! Update soon 😃
