This was a beautiful story, Rose.
I loved how you brought the gangster with the heart of gold, alive. He reminded me of Nayakan(Tamil movie-if you have watched it, you would know)
And Khushi!! I can't imagine the pain she must have been in. When I read the prologue, I thought you were talking about Arnav but after reading the story, I realized how difficult it must have been for Khushi. The man she had unknowingly fallen in love with had fallen in love with her sister!!! The first few months of her marriage must have been pure torture for her! And even after she comes to know that her love and husband had feelings for her, she felt unworthy of reciprocating.
More than the physical pain it is the mental pain that takes forever to fade. I am just glad that she was finally able to overcome her insecurities.
I really liked it.
