What a emotional update ..and Arnav himself invited sheetal with good intentions but she took advantage of their grief and temporary communication laps.. But as they say truth always prevailed, I am waiting with that hope

Hi Raven,
How are you and im very happy to read one of the best stories i have come across recently in Arshi.
The last which i could relate and be completely knocked in reading was Deepthiyas fictions and Revealed.
There is one more OS by Sarita-barun about loss of a child which literally brought tears in my eyes.

Saving grace has been very realistic, where all could relate and contemplate in each and every line you have written.

The last chapter was disturbing me a lot. The story of a little butterfly, to be born, not yet saw the world, not yet stepped into the world.. only the flutter of the wings that too for a second or so they could feel and the next moment she disappeared.. Yara.. i dont know the meaning of it.. but felt if i could relate as Yara, a partner, a lover, or a friend for life long may be we can use that word.. Meri yaar, Meri yaara,,, finding a friend in your own child..

there was this one video which was circulated in youtube regarding a butterflies life. It tries to fly very hard as soon as it comes out from the chrysalis.. it could not. A human comes and helps the butterfly, but it cannot.. At the end it dies..
the moral of the story was, we support each and every person.. if they need or not .. at the end of day the independent struggle to fly on its own either shuts off or due to situations it cannot utter.
somewhere in life there has to be balance of others support and being independent too.
The butterfly if left out like that, may be it could have flown and it could be living.. but instead of very short life as per its life cycle it lived much shorter..
the moral of that video i could relate here to saving grace. Support from sheetal was not required. Arnavs was and is and he is supporting her in all the ways..
But out of all she has to fight her own demons independently and fly high with colors.. she has try from her end too..

The more i read the previous chapter.. i couldnt control my tears.
These are some fictions which i had written some years back. it basically which i wrote about the society, the struggles of parents who struggle to have a child, though the gal gets pregnant she loses her first twins for no conclusive reason.. then again how she gets pregnant and struggles still now the for her son who is 6 years..
A special / extra ordinary child who has changed the lives of father and mother in all ways..

may be you could connect little bit here.. Im not that good at english.. but still i could draft it and posted .. not for fame but really to get thru my grief this was very helpful..

here all the links.

Raven,


The sadness continues! 😭 But I will try to keep plodding through till we see the first rays of the sun here. Into every life certainly some rain must fall. Hopefully after this deluge of their past, they are looking at a future filled with some hope. Arnav asking Anjali to walk away and disappear from his life as he cannot manage to pay the heavy price of being her brother is too poignant. Their individual grief at losing the one thing that could have bound them as a couple, made them stronger as people and given their existence a 'wojood' or validation is now gone. They deal with it in their own ways and while the sorrow is overpowering, I hope they find the courage to come together and defeat it.

The introduction to Sheetal and her deciding to visit Khushi at Arnav's behest is so ominous. I worry for poor Khushi...a living, breathing fear like one would have to safeguard a child! What have you done to me with this story, Raven! These characters have become such an important part of our lives...that is how amazingly they have been etched...with the flash back and flash forward technique. Nothing in this world maybe is harder to come to terms with than the death of your child and this incident will likely make them stronger in the long run. Of course after the Sheetal's and Anjalis of the world have left them alone!

Beautiful stuff! Take a bow! 👏

Best,

Aimlessly wandering through the IF-verse after ages, what do I come across? Not only an ongoing ArHI fan-fiction by my Twitter buddy :P but one of the most beautifully written and poignant pieces ( your last update) I've read in recent times. Those last lines about the fluttering of a butterfly's wings gave me so many feels that I can't even begin to put it in words. Your words have so much heart and I can't wait to read from the start now. Do you have a blog?

Wishing you Happy Writing with love,

Jenny

Oh dear if one vamp exited their lives, then even more deadlier one entered it.

Arnav behaved with Anjali exactly the way she deserved it.

I knew Arnav was trying to protect Khushi by not showing her how broken he is.

I just wish they had some more family support during this time.
Where were Shashi and Garima during these testing times? Was Shashi still in the hospital?

Sadly even Arnav did not have any family to lean on.

One can trust atleast a known enemy but not an unknown so called friend. This is what exactly happened.

Sheetal made her entry at the right time, when the strings of their relationship was the weakest.

Good update Raven.

They suffered equally. None more, none less than the other. But this seems like a haunting addition to the past that gives Arnav a sense of defeat. A failure.

Will words ever be enough to vocalise the void? It isn't easy. To shy away from the uncomfortable is human nature.
Healing together is stronger than failingly putting back the pieces of your own broken heart.
There's a lot of unattended hurt that remains even now. They need closure, to fill atleast part of the void if not the whole. And for that they need to grab the present.

A poignant chapter Raven.

A lot to say ... I will be back

<Edited>

Sheetal's definitely carved a place for herself on her own. That nine year old, let herself believe that no one cared. She ran, leaving behind innocence and morphing into a domineering, stony human. I don't fault her for fighting for her way through. But I do fault and abhor her for playing with a life.

Jealousy is understandable as is the hatred it brings. But what kind of madness is this? And to hold onto it for so many years? She seems to have assumed whatever she's deserving of, has to be snatched away from Khushi. Not everyone is without their share of pasts. The level of impacts are different. The hurt may be equal, but what matters is how they rise from it.

In Spite of seeing the woman who birthed her turn into the mother she never was - the white, ruining her life - their life, she chose to do something similar to Khushi. What kind of a guilt-free conscious does she walk around with it? Or is it blinded by that red haze of desire. To achieve what she thinks she deserves; the means unimportant. She's been scheming throughout her life, something that's now become a part of her identity.

Yes, some experiences harden you but such pointed manipulations - I don't think in spite of this I can forgive her.

An intriguing perspective Raven. I may forget to say it often, but your writing's wonderful. :)
