Jenny sending you a BIG virtual hug🤗, as I have no other way of telling you how happy I am right now. This chapter is MAGIC !! ❤️ I was completely spellbound by the stunning visuals, the lively banter between lovers, the vows of timeless commitment, the passion of unfettered hearts and the euphoric feeling of unconditional love. 👏

You, my friend are a master storyteller... you have embellished your narrative with breathtaking landscapes, the spectacle of a local carnival and above all the pure and essential essence of love and relationship. The vivid, striking imagery of Mirzapur had me wishing I too was there alongside our darling couple Arnav/Khushi enjoying the pageantry of the local fair, savoring the mouthwatering Bhojpuri food and touring the majestic Chunar fort. 👍🏼

For me the validation of Arnav/Khushi's vows of eternal love and commitment came from the heavens above. The claps of thunder "applause", streaks of lightning "fireworks" and raindrops "a shower of divine blessings"- all in celebration of their impassioned union

Jenny, you have done a brilliant job penning their fiery and intense union... just the perfect mix of passion, steaminess and oomph !! 😉 An exquisite culmination of a day filled with playfulness, merriment, optimism and contentment.

Where's Dr. Raizada going?? I thought he was on sabbatical !!

Here's a lyrical dedication to Dr. Raizada. I chanced upon this song "Sukoon Mila" recently and fell in love with the lyrics.

Mila Hoon Ab Jo Tum Se
As I have met you now
Hai Dil Ko Mere Kasam Se
I swear that my heart
Sukoon Mila... Sukoon Mila...
Feels that it is at peace
Tujhe Hai Paaya Rab Se...
I've gotten you from God
Hai Dil Ko Mere Kasam Se
I swear that my heart
Sukoon Mila... Sukoon Mila...
Feels that it is at peace

Har Pal Haseen Sa Hua Hai
Every moment has become beautiful
Saanson Ko Tune Chhua Hai
You have touched my breath
Badhi Tujhse Nazdeekiyaan
Since my closeness with you has increased
Sukoon Mila... Sukoon Mila...
I feel as if I am at peace

Mila Hoon Ab Jo Tum Se
As I have met you now
Hai Dil Ko Mere Kasam Se
I swear that my heart
Sukoon Mila... Sukoon Mila...
Feels that it is at peace

Jab Se Jurah,Tujhse Jiya
Since my heart has attached itself with you
Chain Aur Qaraar, Dil Ko Mila
My heart feels peaceful
Jab Se Jurah, Tujhse Jiya
Since my heart has attached itself with you
Chain Aur Qaraar, Dil Ko Mila
My heart feels peaceful

Jab Bhi Rahoon, Sang Tere
Whenever I am with you
Bhoolun Har Gham, Shiqwa Gila
I forget all sadness and complaints
Tere Ishq Ka Hi Nasha Hai
This is the intoxication of your love
Meri Rooh Tak Mein Basa Hai
You even reside inside my soul
Tune Aankhon Se Jo Chhua
When you touched me with your gaze
Sukoon Mila... Sukoon Mila...
I feel as if I am at peace

Mila Hoon Ab Jo Tum Se
As I have met you now
Hai Dil Ko Mere Kasam Se
I swear that my heart
Sukoon Mila... Sukoon Mila...
Feels that it is at peace

I can't get the video to load. Below is a link to this melodious number.

😊
Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love


Where do I begin...to write all the thoughts I have about this chapter...here goes.😊

Vows, Validations, Rituals, Rights, Customs, Traditions, Values, Wants, Desires, Beliefs, Emotions, Family, Society, etc., like it or not, they exist and in one way or another affects each one of us by the choices and decisions we make. We stumble, fall, rise and strive to find love, happiness, success and fulfillment in various relationships we share. Life is a learning process and there is no end date to achieve nirvana. Key is to remember to be flexible to accepting change, making transitions, shifting thoughts, or moving on from an emotional state so as not to interfere with everyday functioning,

Khushi and Arnav have grown significantly, their path to this day has been difficult, but their love for each other guided them to overcome fears, insecurities and doubts.
Their day started with clear skies, sunshine, ease and comfort. Loved their easy conversation from a henna sealed "A for Arnav" to remembering Aarav with a smile, a peppy poem "Proof" - Why should mortals wonder if God hears prayers? recited by Khushi to a witty response by Arnav "...have miles to go before we sleep". Ahhh...let's not forget the light humid breeze from the distant Vindhyas range that reached them.😃

Mirzapur festivites Lohandi Mela (big attraction is tattoo design stalls), Jalebis, who's the boss guidelines , notorious shopping, a maroon stole, lunch, Hanuman temple and finally the last stop on the itinerary, Chunar Fort.

The Chunar Fort, an imposing red sandstone structure, on a steep cliff on the southern bank of River Ganga, with awe inspiring views of the river from it's stone lattices and terraces on the North, has a rich history dating back from King Vikramaditya to Mughal empire to British rule but, as Arnav and Khushi soon discovered, it wasn't maintained in the manner it rightfully deserved.

"There are talks of ASI, The Archeological Survey Of India, working on the process to reclaim the fort", Arnav said, looking up from an article on his phone. Sunlight filtered in through a latticed window and caught the caramel of his eyes. It also reflected off of the mirrors on Khushi's stole and covered him with light circles.
Khushi barely heard what he said. She was mesmerized by a glimpse of something rare in his eyes. Serenity. Yes, because he has a cosmic connection of the fort. 😃
An impulse hug and sheer happiness for both, walk up the stairwell to the filmy "Titanic" moment. Bells tolling at the temple for a mass wedding, each couple waiting their turn for the seven pheras, vows taken for seven lifetimes.

Jen, you penned the entire Chunar Fort visit perfectly and I had my perfect high. While you wrote about the real Fort, my mind was on the mystical Anand Vilas Palace, Moti Mahal, Crescent Lake, pigeons, peacocks, terraces, moonlight reflections, etc. to include societal/familial rejection of a love, steadfast defiance for that which matters, the eternal Soulmate, an eternal yearning, to claim, protect that which is theirs. The mass wedding of the many depicts one marriage repeated in every mortal lifetime for Khushi and Arnav. You, Jen sneaky clever, Arnav's witty comment to Astha about moving to Utah with both, the Vindhyas breeze reaching them lightly at the dhaba, another little soul touching them softly, civil noncooperation to the British Rule, a doll, the Lounge, a pick up rejected, a son always his came to him late, a cemetery...hmm.. I am in romance heaven.

Vows, Validations, private, personal or public.
Arnav's opinion, perhaps tainted by a deceit, but I believe it is based on what he truly has faith and trust in. Honesty of the heart and mind along with his pride will not allow him to break his vows to love, cherish and protect...eternally forever...his love..his Khushi.
Khushi's acceptance of him is the only validation that matters to him.
Loved the "noose" comment...you remembered Jen. 😆

Khushi's opinion, acknowledged and respected because it is important to her. Khushi is about a "wedding" which is all inclusive of vows, validations, rituals, signatures, family and society. We know that Arnav will happily comply with Khushi's wish and there will be a wedding, but not just for that reason, he does need signatures "...admittedly necessary at times," for legal purposes. He has a legacy to protect.
Most important to me is the very mature and compassionate way both carried out this sensitive conversation. They listened to each other and respected each other's opinions. I felt the acute concern Arnav felt at the moment Khushi paused and he quickly assured her of his feelings by a gentle touch and soft words...a proposal. This time she accepted without needing a "hindi" version.
This day is too important and neither one is going to rock it with unimportant thoughts. The happy selfie marks the end of a most memorable trip, a date to remember, important simple questions, hearts laid bare and it may not appear too obvious, but the vows of the seven pheras were implied in all the activities of the trip that ultimately ended in a "thunderous" union, many rainfalls, many moons. 😉

A union, unlike previous love making, this was different. This was about possessing, passion, uninhibited surrender, acceptance, reassurance, intense pleasure... ultimate release for both ...@#$%...yes...yes...yes!!
Toe nibbling ...ooo baby!! 😛😛😛

Back to earth..., but I am still connecting the dots. 😉😉

Jen, outstanding!! Super brilliant!! Standing ovation!!

Almost forgot...very important ...this day started with Maasi, Bhua and Isha helping Khushi plan the day. Awesome I say!
The "tsunami"...shhh...confidential.

Arnav leaving...so is Khushi.
Srinagar it is. Arnav has important business to take care of. Mr. Bhatt is waiting with papers to sign.

❤️

First reaction Yes, Yes, Yes...

Jen, I am still basking in the beauty of this Chapter. Me too wishing they had more time, but I will just conjure them in my mind. I picked pics to connect to Anand Vilas. 😛

I had first picked the following for Khushi...Arnav's bride...to me this day was their marriage, the wedding will be for the Others.😛

Hi Jen first of all thank you so much for thinking about me and taking pains to send Pm means a lot. By now you know me already and I am not going to rent about how to appreciate this chapter with my limited skills I will simply say it was AWESOME as always.
Regarding marriage I can understand Arnav has become bitter about it and lost trust in it due to his experience but I am glad that he listened to what Khushi has to say about it. Later part was full of passion you have done full justice to the scene I loved reading this part from start to finish and hats off to you with 2 little ones you take pains to do research that is amazing.
Oh! dear another separation :(( hope this is a short one can't wait for the next part
