I hate birthdays? obviously I do ... But then there are those few people in life who make it worth it ... like my favvvvve author
Honestly I don’t know if u updated this for my bday or exams or whatever, but I’m taking it as my bday gift ... I’ve never been this happy over a gift before ... for real, this is the best one! No exaggeration. First off thank uu for the update, this means SO much, Jahnavi Dii. It’s 17/02 and I get an early present from u. I’ve never blackmailed anyone this much for a gift... except u! 😜
Coming to the chapter,
can I just say, this chapter was EVERYTHING?! I’m so in love with the way you’ve captured Jodha’s internal struggles and Jalal’s emotions .... I’m just sitting here in awe at how deep this all goes
First of all, the way u wrote her vulnerability... like when Jodha admits her survivor’s guilt and her battle with herself ... especially this part
Survivor’s guilt is grueling, Jalal. Half the times I felt like killing myself and the other half I wanted to pounce on the world.
This hit SO hard because... like... it’s not just about losing her family but dealing with the aftermath. It's so real,...and u don’t sugarcoat any of it. You show her struggle... not just with grief...but with her inner demons. It's just… I can't even explain the feeling it gave me. It's the kind of grief that gets inside your soul and refuses to let go 
And the way she talks about coping with the driving phobia and the
I sucked it up and drove daily
line is so relatable too... It’s like how she’s facing life head-on... even when it’s tough. I am in love with you Jodha Akkineni !!!
The part where Jalal gets all possessive about not being part of the anniversary ceremony is chef’s kiss 
jaelous yet understanding...honestly, his little internal apology for being a "sentimental fool" had me chuckling because he’s SO that, but it’s adorable
I love how vulnerable and human he is
Samyu literally a lifesaver and a solid friend ... That’s the kind of friendship we ALL need in our lives ... Such a wholesome moment
I’m kind of obsessed with their friendship ... my bestie is same lol (we are together since sr kg) ... threatening and forcing me into things for my good. My mumma loves her more than me 
and then the anklet??? Oh Bhaiii!!! so beautiful. despite all their struggles the little things they do for each other say so much .... I love the quiet tenderness in their relationship that doesn’t always need words
and this part ... Did you try?
he’s not just asking as a casual question.... he’s genuinely trying to understand what she went through... Mummy kasam, every time he expresses his concern for her.... it just hits me right in the chest
The way he sees her as a person.....he wants to know the real Jodha, her scars, her pain, and every part of her that she’s kept hidden...so much emotional 
I won't say much about Jodha recalling that incident because I honestly cannot express my feelings through words. Will just say you made us feel the exact devastation Jodha went through in that moment !
Now when our dashing don says
I can be upset and still meet you
like, YES !!!! 
Jalal’s possessiveness .... He’s upset but still wants to be there for her .... Unwaverinn support even when things get tough
The way Jodha teases Jalal
Not that I’d…mare meri dushman! You are stuck with me for life Jalal babu
is sooooo adorable yaar!
these twp .... they balance each other perfectly
I can get quite persuasive Ahmed saab! and Bring it on babe.
The confidence, the sass, the chemistry ufffff 

Okay... after this chapter.... I’m in love with Jalal even more
Before...I was a bit doubtful, but now I’m 100% sure.....I'm rejecting every ladka in the future because I ONLY want PBD ka Jalal, NJAPA ka Jalal or HBAS ke Khan Sahib 
Anddddd... don’t forget, Dii! Jodha is supposed to be in Goa in November for Sravanthi’s wedding... Andddd now they should realize they’ve already met each other there 😉
Please dear Dii ...have someone from your family read this... I’m not even joking... They'll be behind you 24/7 asking for updates... hum chain ki zindagi jeeyenge fir 
Lastly, I’m 1000% hooked ... Update soon PLEASE!
4 months for ek update thik hai ... 4 saal nahi ... please 
PS - You probably noticed I didn’t comment on the suspected killer's name . I’m still too shocked to process that Rao could have done this or anyone from family for that matter...Guess I’ll just wait for your next update !!!!!
Also no comment on Abhi wala scene as well because I really have nothing to say on that. I kind of expected it you know. Sooner or later. Just surprised ki itna jaldi expectation ..reality mein badal gaya 😆 it will be fun to watch Jealous Jalal after hearing about this from Jodha in future 😆
Off-topic, but I’m seriously obsessed with your FF... no joke... I came across this post on Insta that says Cancerians get emotionally attached to fictional characters
....I usually don’t believe in astrology or zodiac stuff on social media pages, but this one... (ignore the first two
see the 3rd one)

I think it’s true. It’s totally me...
I’m still obsessed with NJAPA and HBAS even though they’re completed. Just imagine how crazy your FF makes me given it's ongoing 


Please Update soon. 4 months ka time I'm giving you

PS 2 : Chetan Bhagat... Jane Austen... who? You and Shraddha Dii are the ONLY ones who truly inspire me when it comes to writing....
