Another great chapter...
The whole journey and their feelings of hope followed by apprehension, worry and sense of hopelessness...everything is so vividly described. Truly awesome writing.
Khushi is so broken at not getting anything positive but still so determined.
Arnav wants to do whatever he can to bring Raja into their lives. While situation does look a bit grim, the last few lines of the chapter are truly encouraging...
Even Suraj has a burdensome past...that was really heartbreaking. Fighting terrorism has always had lots of innocent collateral damages. Really unfortunate and sad...
Hope Arnav, Khushi and Suraj find their peace soon by reclaiming Raja...even if he is not really their dead child, they would still love him as much. After all the hardships, they all truly deserve this...
On another note...you have truly touched upon a very sensitive and heart wrenching subject of human trafficking. All of us sit cozy in our homes and read such incidents as news snippets. But I can't even begin to imagine the horror stories that these young innocent kids undergo. How can some people be so cruel, greedy and heartless? When I think about such people, I truly start questioning the existence of God himself...such atrocious things cannot happen if there really is a God.
