Thank you for your warmth, your unwavering faith in me and your encouragement my darling. It never fails to move me ā¤ļø

You've written of so many facets Khushi so beautifully in this entire update. Her despair, her joy, her playfulness, her vulnerability, her hurt. Dadi's welcoming warmth made the absence of Khushi's parents feel even more acute. And then seeing the change of everything familiar in the home again made her feel alienated. It's strange how we always want to go back and pick up the threads in our parent's lives just as we had last left it. The comfort of the familiar. The needing of things to be just as you remembered them.

I love the respect Arnav and Khushi have for the Gupta family's faithful retainer. Respect he deserves for the care and affection he's given over the years. But it's also a wonderful reflection of their own goodness.

I was so furious at the way her parent's had treated Arnav when they first met. Just wanted to thwack both of them on their head. Being concerned about your daughter's future is one thing but this outright, narrow minded, hostility was outrageous. I'm so proud of the way Arnav conducted himself.Reasonable and polite, but firm. His mother's values shining in him. Extending respect to his Khushi's parents even in the face of such baseless bias and prejudice.

Given this, I was ready to continue hating her parents. But Harshad just made me cry. That moment when he holds out his arms for her and hugs her and twirls her was so moving. You made me feel the tender love of a father and daughter. And his sheer helplessness when he sees his daughter breaking down. That scene contrasts so beautifully with the present one. Both of a father hugging his daughter, but yet so so different. Avni just comes across as this mixture of caring and cold. Concerned one moment and callously indifferent the next. It's like her saying, I will love you as my daughter because it's expected but I can't respect you as an individual ... if that makes sense?

As for Payal, a narcissistic, spiteful waste of space! Sadly, people of her ilk are sprinkled far too liberally in our society. My Arnav totally rocks! I love him even more for the way he stood up for his wife. His barbed witticisms are just whats needed. His wife is not an easy target and everyone had better get that. Although Avni trying to ingratiate herself made me go, really?! Her phone conversation with Arnav all those weeks back must have forewarned him of it though.

Payal's son seems to be as charming as her. Your description of him was so funny! Even allowing for usual teenage behaviour and idiosyncrasies, he's just plain rude. I'm glad Khushi pulled him up on it.

But what Payal said to Khushi at the end was just plain spiteful and cruel. Nothing can justify those mean words. I can hear Arnav's "Enough" ringing in that spruced up house. The surface beauty of the house seeking to hide the ugly nature of some of it's inhabitants.

I love Dadi she's sweet, warm and she cares so much for Khushi. She shows it in her words and actions, and it's like she cocoons Khushi underneath her wing. You could feel her sadness at Khushi's hurt that her family isn't there to greet her. It hurts her to see Khushi upset, and you've demonstrated that so well. You sense that in Arnav as well, when he asks her if she's okay.


That kiss! So much passion- you're one person who doesn't need many words to set the screen on fire, and this one was no exception. I think my frustration levels rival my bechara Arnav at that damn bed. But I have to admit- I burst into laughter at Arnav's anguish, doomed to wait until they're in ah... quieter quarters, shall we say?


Oh, that change in tone! Right away, you can sense the difference in the Raizadas versus the Guptas. It was such a contrast to Khushi's first meeting with Sofia. The warmth and overwhelming love that Sofia gave her is such a difference when you see how Mr. and Mrs. Gupta reacted to Arnav. You drew up the tension between them so well- they're walking on a tightrope, just centimeters away from falling over... but Arnav, as usual, is a gentleman. He makes sure they understand how he feels for Khushi, makes no apologies- and yet, remains polite, even when they are not.


That tone carries throughout dinner with the Guptas. The dangerously polite Arnav who is protective of his wife. His little quips are amusing and so sharp, and I loved them! He doesn't hesitate to step up for Khushi, making it clear that insults against her will not be tolerated. But you also brought in the love, even with the tension simmering between Payal and Khushi. Harshad clearly adores Khushi, and her running into his arms... there's nothing that can mirror the hugs and the love from a parent, and I loved seeing that. There is clearly love there, but sometimes... people don't always prioritize what they should be prioritizing.


I cannot believe Payal- it makes it even worse that there exist people like her in real life. How Pratik addressed them and her response to it is inexcusable. JK Rowling once said that she thinks the scariest character in Harry Potter isn't Lord Vol- er, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, but rather, Professor Umbridge- because there exist people like her in the real world.






I cannot wait for Arnav to put Payal in her place. Bring it on!


Love always,

Your Choti.


P.S.: I could not stop giggling at your description of Pratik's clothing šŸ˜† šŸ˜† šŸ˜†

What do you say to this coincidence? Res from India
------------

I am not sure if Raizada's frustration is unwarranted - the guy got foisted with a creaky bed? But what is redeeming is that Khushi is suffering silently as well. That seems only fair. šŸ˜‰ What the hell is up with this mama-Gupta?

This update was a reveal for me - a peek behind the curtains of Khushi's psyche... Imagine living in a household where you are the forgotten child! It broke my heart. This family helped me understand why Khushi fell in love with her (well, there are many on this forum who will want to contest that ) blue-eyed-Arnav. He gave her all that she never had in her own house - a warm mother (in-law), a loving sibling and a whole lot of bone-melting-loving.

Could your Arnav get any more ... erm.. _____ (fill in the blank with some choice words) ... He was understanding, supportive and fiercely protective. Now thats the comrade I want if I have to fight that fight in my life. :)

Hm... Payal Gupta is a piece of work eh? Wonder what her story is all about. A spoilt rotten sibling with such low self esteem? My curiosity is piqued.

As your updates reveal more and more... I get to see your mastery at this storytelling business darling SS. You have our attention from the get go. There is so much drama, so much angst with just the right amount of sexy Arnav Singh Raizada wooing his beautiful and gentle wife.

I am loving this story with every update. And I am loving your writing.

it was actually a pretty emotional update. I'm glad she had Dadi and I'm also happy her father loves her too. I actually know a Payal in real life too - obviously from my in-laws side but there are times I just want to choke her. I had the same reaction to Payal. But ain't it the truth? Siblings can be your best friends or your worst enemies. I've seen it too many times unfortunately :(. Thanks for another wonderful update. I can't wait for them to go back home. I don't think I can stomach too much Gupta drama. But I must say the way you characterized Avni - no one suits her better than Amrita Singh. I could just picture her in my head while reading the update :) Thank you :)

Lovely welcome by khushi's dadi :) i felt bad for khushi as her parents were not there for her n arnav's welcome but her dadi made an appearance and give her a lovely pooja ki thali wala welcome šŸ˜› i can see her dadi's pure love for her grand daughter :) loved arnav n dadi's bonding too :) khushi's parents absence bring emptiness in her heart as she is not important for them!! Loved their convo about the recent happenings in their life..!! :)

Khushi shared her feeling about missing her parents.. It is good to see that now they are opening up to each other without any reservations..!! i was so amused to imagine arnav's expression after hearing the creaking sounds šŸ˜† cant control myself from laughing hard after reading his
cute banter that her parents did that purposely 🤣 you've write their kiss sooo romantic !! But the creaking bed will be going to give him many long sleepless nights 😃 a peak from flashback about arnav n khushi's parents fist meeting..!! Haww..They had asked him to leave her..!! Why were they against him..?? Just bcoz he is from different background or his parents divorce..!! Khushi's mum was so rude :(

Finally avni n payal the great comes into picture:) i feel good that atleast her mother gave her a warm hug n kiss !! I didnt expect payal character to be turn out like this :/ i so loved it when arnav made an entry and give answer to payal' nonsense..!! Wah wah i m proud of you arnav ..!! 😃

I find this strange that a mother can ever be partial !!The story behind khushi's birth and the indifference made me feel bad for her :( maybe that indifferent takes her away from her parents.. šŸ˜• beautiful hug shared by a dad n his daughter :) i like the fact that her parents behaved very politely with arnav :) stunned to see that khushi's dad scolded ritvik so openly and display his dislikeness towards him ..!! I am liking her dad instantly when he says that his children are back after long.. Such a sweet thing to say and make them feel wanted 😊

I dont know why payal is pointing khushi again n again.. But i m glad that arnav was there with her..:) i so wanted arnav to show payal her place 😔 payal's ill mannered son create scene just like his mum!! But payal was too much to taunt khushi about parenting..!! May be now only god can save payal from arnav's wrath for saying such a cruel n sensitive thing to her..?? She behaves like a complete b*tch..!!

Full on family drama :) n i loved it ..!! Thanks for pm :)

Jigs, super duper update.

You are not only the queen of cliffhangers lately but you have also taken the role of being the queen of melodrama. šŸ˜†

Loved this update a lot.

Dadi - such a lovable character. Grace and wisdom along with age. Dadi knows the wrong done to Khushi by her family and hope and prays that her parents do justice to her sometime in their lives.

I wonder if Khushi's nature is afterall due to the upbringing of her dadi and certainly not influenced by her mother.

And I liked how much she loves Arnav too. I remember one Jab we met dialogue where the old man says that at his age he can judge people and relationships just by looking at them once and looks like Dadi recognised the goodness in Arnav in their first meeting itself.

Ramu kaka is another lovable character and loved the warm feelings Arnav and Khushi have towards him.

Jigs, the creaking bed, seriously what kind of mattress did Avni give her daughter and son-in-law to sleep on. And after reading your drabble, I am wondering how old is the bed??šŸ˜•

Imagining Arnav's face once he realised the creaking sound the bed made, I just could not control my laughter. šŸ˜†

Poor guy, just now his marriage which was on rocks is back on track, he has not made love to his wife from past 6 months and now his wife too wants the love life back and how desperate he is for some action and dear lord, he gets an extremely loud creaking bed!!!
Jigs, this is so not fair. šŸ˜’
I hope Khushi can find some answer to their problem soon.

Coming to the Guptas and the Khuranas, so both Papa and Mama Gupta are doctors.
It is sad to see that even though being such educated people and working in the humane medical field, they could not give proper upbringing to their daughters. If one always craved for their love and affection, the other turned out to be a bitch.
Is Payal doctor too? If yes, then God save her patients.😲

Atleast Papa Gupta seemed to have realised his mistake and Mama Gupta too is feeling bad I am guessing.

But Harshad is pissed off with his elder daughter and SIL, I wonder why??

Why is Payal staying in her parent's house and whats with her behaviour towards Khushi?
Is she plain evil or is it the story of unreachable grapes being sour?

But unfortunately there are many people in this world who find happiness in other people's sorrow or find joy in their own cynicism targeted at the other person's shortcomings and failures.

And what I felt was Avni is a puppet in Payal's hands. She could not even get a damn bedroom vacant for Khushi's stay which apparently was Khushi's bedroom anyways.

And is Avni's indifferent behaviour towards Khushi right from childhood only because she was not a boy??

But looks like Khushi is still that small child at heart looking for her parent's love and affection.

Now writerji, if you give us such awesome updates ending in such cliff hangers how to wait one more week for the next update???

I could reserve this spot after months meaning hoping that AD is back to normalšŸ¤” or is it the silence before the stormšŸ˜• in any case will live it to fullest😃.


Jigs I witnessed a typical Indian mentality household. For a starter if a child is not Engineer or Doctor they do not have a responsibility. If the child is not married to the financially settled man; he is not worth it. If the spouse is from the anglo Indian community they are not worth it and to top it up a divorced family. You nailed it. šŸ‘ šŸ‘

All through out the journey i thought that it must be his anglo Indian family that must be the biggest issue for Khushi's family to accept Arnav. But what I witnessed was a complex situation.
A mother who is bias towards one child and in turn treating other as someone else's child😲

A sister who is judgemental due to her career choice and is playing with mother's love. Usually for money this trait is found between two son's and is a rare thing between sisters one would thinkšŸ˜’

A father who loves the daughter but is so much under the influence of his wife that he can not stand for his daughteršŸ‘ŽšŸ¼

It was like not a daughter returning back but some uninvited guest🄺 First of all father was being swapped away and by the writeup seems like it was a plan. Secondly a mother was away and did not even care to reach her daughter about when will she be arriving?😲 😲 and Payal - I have no words for that person. She herself needs to learn to respect how is she going to teach her kids?
But the worst was giving them the room with old furniture. Seriously when the whole house is renovated how come this bed is still in its place? 😔 Its a conspiracy theory by the great Payal... Payal is a bitch no other word for her else how can she not understand her sister's plight?


But I loved the dadi. She acted like the real matriarch of the family. She reminded me of my grand pa who never waited for any of his son in law but always waited for his grand son in law😃 and Ramu kaka too is the man which I would compare with Gopal of our family. Nostalgic.
Even dadi compared Avni to Sofia😲. This is one messed up relation.

The only good thing I can see about this whole visit is that papa Gupta is showing signs of father and most important these riffs between Gupta family will surely bring our loved couple together as they will fight them together leaving behind all the differencesā¤ļø and could see sizzling chemistry back in action in middle of all this organized chaos😳

Awaiting Arnav fighting for Khushi and supporting Khushi like she did it at Anjali's place😃


PS- your description showing contrast between two families is bang on proving that despite being from so called not a normal family the values carried by Raizada are way ahead then those of GuptasšŸ‘ šŸ‘

PS-2 Despite having such an non supportive family Khushi is doing great šŸ‘ Her values and respect for her family is something to look upon. ā­ļø ( I can now understand why she may have gone into depression and wanted divorce.)
