T1 | ArHi FF: Second Chances. Link to Thread Two, Page 147 - Page 49

I read the chapter the day you posted it but it was all in a hurry. I wanted to wait till I could really savour the words, the emotions, the images you draw, and then let you know that you've done a great job, once again.

You wrote about Arnav's dilemma over texting Khushi and the lack of her response. In fact, for most part of the beginning of the chapter, you focused on it. It was unexpected but a nice touch.

Surprise was so much better than unexpected or unpredicted for this six year old.
How do you come up with these lines? I'm happily reading the story and in the midst of everything, one line makes me pause and compels me to read it again. This time, a little more thoughtfully.
There is something incredible about children. They take life as it comes. They wake up in the morning and don't even plan their day but manage to make everlasting precious memories they'll be relentlessly teased with once they grow up. We, however, are always scheduling classes, meetings, dinners and many a times, a little change of plan leaves us frustrated at everything for good. What I wouldn't give to go back in time and argue with my best friend over finding my tiffins empty and her stomach suspiciously full. 😆

Maya. I'm completely intrigued by her and her relationship with Arnav. I also admire the workings of their relationship. Of them becoming better friends after the divorce. It is such a refreshing take on life after a divorce.

Another thing I love about SC is that it is not just an Arnav Khushi story, it is about Arnav and Maya, Khushi and NK, Maya and Mohan, Meera and Khushi, among various other bonds that we're yet to discover.

You take into consideration what Maya feels about her choices in life and I love that. Maya is such a lovely person and let's not forget Walrus Maya. I just...I need to grab her into a hug.
All your characters are rational, beautiful and very human.

Reading SC is a lot like meditation. It is refreshing and it calms you to a point where you look at things differently. You take in more of your surroundings. I don't know about others but I for one, am left deep in thought after a read.


Still feeling short for words and that's not changing anytime soon.

Love,
Isha

P.S. Among other things, I now have this really cute picture of a chubby, curly haired Mohan in my head saying "Mama thinks she's a Walrus. But she's not a Walrus. She's a human being."
Thanks.

P.P.S. Should I expect to be sent back to the past (ArHi's past) in the future update?

It is surprising that Arnav and maya are still in a cordial relationship and in a way it is good for their child to grow in a peaceful environment . And the same goes for Arnav and Maya's husband ...

I have been humbled by your responses, your words, your expressions, your metaphors.

I believed that words were inefficient, and I believe I have said so once.

But I take my words back.. Words are not inefficient, not insufficient..

Words.. your words...

In your hands, they have become verses with layers where cadence is their soul and imagery their music.

In your hands, the have become metaphors where poetry is the rule and play is their essence.

And they have brought me here to say thank you... I am completely and utterly overwhelmed with this love, support and your response to my story.

I hear you, I hear your frustration with Arnav-Khushi's past. And I hear your fingers tapping in impatience. Yes, I hear you.

I was going to let the story do its talking.. But I am here...

Because your words have impelled me here..

Yes, they have a past.. but will you please allow me to tell you their past in layers?.. In phases? In parts?

Will you please trust me to tell this story in a way that I want to, in a way that I think will work?

Itching to read about the past. Thanks for great and regular updates

What a beautiful words..loved your note..please don't change the story line or the pace just bcos we are impatient..we are the same in every FF thread . We are impatient to know the past but we never want the stories to end !!!! Please write as per your vision..we are enjoying it now and will do always..

I hope there are many layers to reveal.. Take your time, as readers we are immensely greedy for more, regardless of how long a chapter may be. if this book was already written, I would have gone to the last page first...

Amazing update...

Take your own time and dont change the plot..reveal the flashback like in your way not as we say..as readers we do want more updates as its hell tough job to wait for a week so we keep on asking for early update..but we love to read as per the way you wanted to tell..

Weave our own story and mesmerize us with it😊
