A Tale As Old As Time [COMPLETED] - Page 13

The words may have been spoken out of anger but they were spoken and heard. The effects will linger on long after that. Piya is now second guessing herself.

The doubt and remorse was always there. Piya's biggest regret was abandoning Adi when he was just a kid. Unfortunately, Ansh's words brought back all that memory and overwhelmed her. It's a good thing Adi is so considerate of her feeling. Which is why she has found some comfort in the notion that even if something happened to her, he'll be okay. This time, she is giving him the one thing she always longed for - assurance. She knows what uncertainty can do to a child. So she took care of that before proceeding with her plan.

Hope this parallel dream world works. If not, don't know what they would do next.

Piya's talk with Adi was so needed. He will always have this memory.

This plan will work. Nonetheless, it'll be extremely difficult.

As for Adi, he's a sweet kid and the best of PiyAnsh. No matter what happens, he'll carry their legacy forward...

This chapter was so warm and wholesome and so, so sad. So, they now have a different plan, and it must work. I love how you slowly transitioned from the unassailable problem toward the solution but not without any uncertainty because there's risk there too.

The conversation between Piya and Adi was lovely and heartwarming. He's such a mature little kid who understands his mom. But at the same time he gets annoyed with his little sister. Hahah. That's the classic sibling bondi. And she doesn't like MCU? Ugh. I'm on Adi's side here. xD

However, the emotional crux here was the maturity of the child, because he understands, and is blessed with such a tender and kind heart. And Piya is saying kind of a goodbye to him? It must be hard for her because leaving her children is the last thing she wants, but if she doesn't do it, things will get worse and they might lose something more precious.

Still, is it all worth it? It should be. I'm curious how everything else will play out now. I hope they don't get into more trouble.

Amazing chapter again. :)

Thank you dear!

Adi is a sweetheart. In the show, he was quiet, a bit shy but a strong support system for both of his parents in his own innocent way. It would only make sense if Piya confided in him who didn't have any preconceived notion of the situation they were in and was mature enough to make the right call if needed.

Also, this dreamland brought back a lot of bitter memories. Some they dealt with, and some remained as it was. Piya now understands exactly where she and Ansh went wrong. Hence she wants Adi to spare the pain.

As you rightly pointed out, she's about to put herself in harm's way and there's no easy answer to whether she is doing the right thing. Leaving her children is the last thing she wants to do but at the same time, she can't leave Ansh hanging between two worlds. Keeping everything aside, a child needs both of her parents. In her absence, Ansh brought Adi up and Pari was more inclined to her father. Naturally, a part of Piya feels they would be better and happier with Ansh than they would be with her if a choice had to be made.

We can argue that she's being unreasonable but it's just the way she is. She has been through way too much and all she wants to do is ensure her loved ones are happy with or without her. Which is exactly why she had her last conversation with Adi. She wants him to grow up with the knowledge of how much she loves him. And now that she knows he forgave her and will be okay without her, she can focus on her mission without feeling guilty.

Oh, god. This whole chapter was such a roller-coaster ride of emotions. It was hopeful, sweet, heartbreaking, and then unbelievably tragic, and eventually ended with such uncertainty.

I understand Ansh's insecurities and his Piya's resolve, because they've both been exhausted to the point of breaking completely. Ansh didn't want to admit Piya was real. He wanted an easy way to his feelings where he wouldn't have to risk his heart again. But he didn't realise how much damage he would cause. But it's like all is done for.

However, I'm hopeful about the ending. So looking forward to it. Also, so sorry for replying so, so late. :(

Sorry for being so late. Travel and work got me really behind.

It almost looked like Piya would be able to convince Ansh. But he still had the firm belief that it was all an illusion until she risked her own life. Will she get the courage to fight for her life and not give up? Hope she does.

Thank you so much dear!

You are right, both of them have reached their breaking points and unfortunately, it ended up in a catastrophe. Somewhere deep down, Piya already knew she might have to do the extreme to convince Ansh. And as she believed, he came to her rescue again without caring about his own safety. It's just that the damage was too much.

So far we have seen Piya's efforts. Now it's on Ansh whether he can save her from this or lose her forever. I really hope you'll enjoy the next chapter as there will be quite some revelations.

It's alright dear! I'm grateful that you still took the time to read and comment here.

Piya is a fighter. She has seen the worst and yet fought back every single time. But everyone has a breaking point; unfortunately, she has reached hers. The next chapter will have some interesting revelations regarding her feelings. At the same time, Ansh will have to do everything in his power to bring her back. I hope you'll enjoy reading it.
