Can I pretend I've not read this millions of times before? Okay lets! You wrote this in November 2014 based on Kate's edit? Aww! Okay this whole story gave me YJHD feels. And you KNOW how much I adore YJHD.
I absolutely love their first hug scene! Its so relatable and you can't help feel bittersweet about the whole situation. I remember hugging random kids at graduation, sad that I won't see them walking down the hallway as I walk in the opposite direction EVER again. And here, Pragz loves the guy!!
- I just kept thinking, if only, and what could have been, and for thirty seconds I forgot everything I knew about what I could and couldn't have in life and just got to have him.
But of course he let me go with complete ease, no sign of being affected at all - and why would he be?
Awww, just aww! This is so reflective of Pragz on the show during that time.
His "dont ever change" is almost like his yearbook goodbye to her! Which makes me curious, did he actually mean it or did he just say it cause? Because when people write it on everyone's yearbook, they don't mean it, you know?
Minama-you know I love when people write wardrobes in description. This new sophisticated Abhi sounds so hot! Totally adorbs how Pragya was unknowingly still immediately attracted to him and only recognized him later on! Too cute! Btw, I always crack up when I read the course name "Feminist approach to law" LOL! Can we please accidentally enroll show-Abhi into that class to? He really desperately needs it!
"I didn't feel those annoying attraction feelings from high school any more. He became my friend and I liked spending time with him and that was it, I didn't daydream about what it would be like if he would only just see me, I didn't get stupidly excited every time our hands touched, I didn't blush when he said that he liked my earrings or my kurta or whatever random thing he would find to compliment."
This is probably my favorite part in the OS. Because I like how she grew up. It shows that in those three years, she wasn't still clinging onto those feelings for him. She had moved on, she thought they could never be together in high school and she had faced it without continuously, blindly dreaming about it. Kinda like show-Pragz.
Again, I mentioned this to you before, but I totally love first-person narratives! I like that the other character is somewhat mysterious to the reader. Like why was Abhi emotionally closed off? What happened in the past few years, why was Tanu still kinda in his life, etc? Like, I really wanna know, but sometimes, its fun just keeping that as a cliffhanger. But now I'm excited for part two. You shouldn't have told me. Now I'll be looking out for this like a hawk.
Their second hug-to her horror and delight? LOVE IT! Realistic much! She liked that she had moved on...until she was placed back into the same settings where she was hopelessly in love last time-in his arms.
And thank you for showing she has a life aside from home! She's acheiving her dreams! THANK YOU! Also, I'm now so interested to know how he went from pre-rockstar to hot sophisticated Abhi back to rockstar!
"For my part I kept telling myself that I would start pulling away from him soon, because those attraction feelings were back but they'd evolved into something more powerful and terrifying and unnameable, and since I cared about my sanity I absolutely should and would save myself from heartache and get him out of my life right away. I told myself this after every lunch date and every evening phone call and every time I believed myself, but then he'd call or text again and I forgot all about that resolution."
Haayee. *KKB heaven* I know I just said I love how she moved on from him. And she had, na? But I love that it took her more than just a high school crush on him to feel even more powerfully for him! It took a semester of classes, long-term relationship as friends and a year full of non-romantic coffee/lunch dates for her feelings to re-emerge like a storm. LOVE IT.
I'm not even sorry this got long!! THIS OS IS MAGICAL!! KKB Heaven!
Whyyy did you apologize in your after-notes????
Its probably one of my absolute favorites and I'm sorry I hadn't commented on here earlier. Its just a mixture of moving to the next fic on your list and to avoid nagging you of when the other stories will be updated. 😉
Love,
