ArHi FF: Revealed #8 | * REMOVED * - Page 51

Jigs, I am simply overwhelmed by the beauty of your thoughts and of your writing. You gave us our "Ari meri Pari", and every time I sit to write I can't stop the tears. Of tender joy but also of aching sadness.

This song from Zakhmee is all that I want to do for Aneri. I want to clasp her close to me. To ask her why she seeks solitude, to take away the lingering wistfulness about her. I don't want her to put on a brave face and accept as life's truths that people from the outside world come to her "Ashiyaana" only to give ashiyaana to the little babies. I don't want her to sit on the bench alone ever again. I don't want her to be beholden to the kindness of nature for shelter. She makes me want to be the one to do all of that.

The curious wondrousness with which she touched Arnav's face, her entrancement with Khushi ... can anything be as captivating as the innocence of a child.

I think this moment when Arnav and Khushi met their baby will stay with me for ...

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils

• Wordsworth

The excited anticipation of their family and friends, their own nervous anticipation, was all shown so well. I was swept up in all those feelings right from the beginning. And how true it is that life continues at it's own pace even when we want to step away. But it also moves in mysterious ways. Dealing with it lead to him stepping away, happenchance leading him to Aneri.
