You cannot believe my abounding joy in reading all your comments and the feel of my happy tears on my cheeks in being understood. I will admit this. This is the first time I am showing something I wrote to someone other than my mirror and my God. And above everything, what I loved, other than your considerable suggestions on how to make the chapters better in the future, it is this...that many of you let me look at my chapters in a way it was not perceived by me when I was writing. The depth in psychology, the motives behind an actions word uttered by a character, the process of transformation, the muddle of emotions explained...all this, your comments have down a better job than my tale and I was overwhelmed when I understood my characters in a sharper refined angle than what I knew of them when creating them...Thank you, especially to the ones I will thank below...

Peepli: Like your DP!! Oh, I've a name now? Miss Cliffhanger! Admittedly, I love it! Thank you dear! Loved how you picked on the major events in the last update and showed your love for the "arhilicious" update...

Saomom: It is always a "jolting" delight reading your "reactions" to my updates! And believe me, I love them every time and look forward to more! Hope you enjoyed your pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream! And bedsides your impatience to pick your coat up and ask "is it Saturday yet" every now and then, about the next chapters to come: everything can be shown but some may have to be implied or understood...but yeah, the things you mentioned will be understood, I guess...

Selene Night: Preferring to be on the table than on the comfy rugs below while listening to my narration! Well dear, your happiness matters in our Cave and if it so suits you, I shall be glad to look up at times and cast my eyes on the eager eyes looking at from the table top, while she sips on her Vanilla iced tea!!

SilverFairy: Artemis! Nicita! It's so lovely seeing you dear!! Hope you are doing well!

Sona: OH dear! I am sorry dear girl that I kept you waiting so late...goodness! Hope you banked in your sleep the next day! I can feel your "speechless" feelings with merely that lovely gif you gave me!! Ah, in your later comment, I read how you were affected by the chapters and I was happy. You wanted more expression of his jealously? Well, Lord Arnav can't be too obvious, I guess. But it's such a delight knowing that you actually felt "giddy" and "fluttered" reading this...*blush*

HateLove, rrd29, Shalve,Casker, Rocking soni, Penrith: Thank you dears! It means a lot to me that you take your time to come to the Inn!

Khusiarnav: My favourite stalker! You were the first one to tell me you stalked and the first one to tell me you loved reading the others' comments! And I will always thank you for that! Ah, I was literally jumping when I read "I was panting" the whole time you read the bedroom ArShi scene! *blush* Glad to know my fireworks did flare in your heart, dear!

Indiavizion: it's so nice to see you have understand our major characters and their struggles! Would love to shed more light into it in the coming chapters, dear!

Vidya: I am sorry I could not PM you at the earliest but I cannot find time to PM unless its Saturday...So grateful that you read and commentated on every chapter so far. Where you understood Lavanya's heart, Kushi's bravery to mock Lord Arnav using his coat, your love for the sword training, and your deep understanding of Arnav and Kushi's feelings in the next chapters made me so happy! Thank you dear Vidya for doing this journey with me!

Hellgirl: Got your white pigeon with blue tail? You are the only one so far who picked on the parallelism on the "get out" scene in our show! And yes dear, without you telling me repeatedly, I know you LOVED it...And the dream can be seen as his desire too...

Medharees: I am so sorry I could not PM anyone but you need not worry over missing it because like I said, dear Goddess of Poetry, missed updates can count up to be like so many Christmas gifts waiting to be opened one by one!

Kalpana: This is a delight seeing you making time to visit our Inn! You are always a deep one and I know you will always see those which sometimes even I will be blind too...Missing you a lot and Big Sister Shweta too...and do have a wonderful week of Navaratri!

Farha: Goodness! You really cried when she was hurt? This is touching news, dear!

Hoopoe: Oh, I love your comments always! You simply make my thoughts find refuge in your wisdom and quip! Interesting pointer you gave that they throw" hate you" and "despise you" to force a shield to not be affected by the other!

Kvarsha: Interruptions! Indeed, dear! I'm so glad you loved the update and yes, dear jalebis are substituted here with "cocoa" beans...

Sonia: That is sweet of you to tell me what you loved about the updates dear! Looking forward to you!

Shikha: Did you save yourself from "drowning" in the "MAGIC" you found in Arhasia? Glad you are safe! I am so glad you can love Lady La now and yes, thanks to your Sanka Devi!! Your love for Aman and how your blush when he mentioned the undefeatable First Lord, his loyalty to his Master earning apt from you, Kushi's no-compromise-with-my-self-respect attitude and their sweet-tortures, your moistened eyes (I'm blushing here) when seeing a guilty Kushi, and the charming "last" chapter...I can see how happy you are about the entire thing and hope I can make you happy with the future scenes to come!

Breeze dear: I am sorry again for you not being given a hint as to the updates...*holds ears again* But oh my! My desert after the three course meal! Your comments! You want justice down to Aman, I will do as you wish, my lady! Well, I had already planned it out of course! *wink* Thank you dear for trying to understand my Shyam-dilemma! I am so glad to know you will be there to give me strength or my future updates, yes, excited about commencing them already! I so loved your reactions to La and how you saw Arnav's pains mirroring her in a different way! I never intend to teach anything but yes "inspire" is something I aim at through my writings and what best way to inspire but through stories where characters struggle with life! So happy when you pick on the best of my created lines! Your reaction to the show's state is ditto mine and frankly, I am with the show and will always treasure it to the end of my insane life! I knew you would love Rahim Chacha and Aman brought to the light and I was thinking of how you would react when I wrote them...Jealous Anrav a treat to you! You are proud of both Aman and Kushi for reason of their own! A bear hug for me from you because Arnav bitwa asked why Aman had not left for home! Ama's slight annoyance in seeing ArShi talk! And your "melted" state when he had pinned her to the stable wall! Oh, I am so happy you loved Shadow and his bond with his Master! Your respect for tigress Kushi and your love for the Castle Kitchen described (which no one else mentioned but you!), and your sad ace on seeing the fallen basin! (you wanted to taste the liquor she was making? Doused in her painful tears? Thou art so sweet and considerate!) Clver you! Connect the dots to know why Arnav attends to Kushi like he's attended never before in his life! *chuckle* Well, terrified family members are numbed for this moment but they will remember this scene at a later day...Glad the pigeons made you happy with their arrival and led you drench yourself in the magic of the tale! And I so love all that you reacted to and I can simply not have enough of your comments always, which are equal to the length of my updates like you said! *blush*

Allzwell: Gsap! Oh my! After Medha, you are here stringing music in my heart! What can I tell you two: Medharees and Allzwell, the Arhasian Poetesses!!! The logical hints in poetry make it even more promising to be read and learnt! I simply fell in love with these lines especially *blush*:

Master Aman and Lady Lavanya will soon despair
as the magic wand of the mystery figure sweeps,
bringing Arnav and Khushi close,
that our story teller will masterfully disclose!

Vrinda: My special reader! Your last line said it all: Kushi the Healer of his Heartlessness but when will he realise it? I am so in love with this tale!!

Music: Lady S! You are pleased with La, I see. And yes, speechless over the "mother" of all updates too!! *blush*

Keerthi: this is really sweet of you to understand the conflict going on between Lord Arnav and young Kushi. I am so glad I could make you happy, dear, with this update...

Harsh: Yikes! I was the cause for a your interview turning "dud"?! You must frankly not clash with interviews and your trips to Arhasia! *groan* But hey! I actually blew your mind? Nice! And yes, the "you weaken me" tirade by Arnav against Kushi. You are real sweet to be considerate of the pigeon: she returned feeling quite happy and was in earnest to be sent again to you with a message but I insisted it was not yet time...You're spoiling the birdling!

Angeldream: I am sorry I can read no other works and especially yours, dear. I am often busy but I am so honoured to know you keep a track on my tale! Really happy to see you here!

Leafs: Ah! Oh! Eee! I mean...*plonks head on table* I didn't PM you believing you must be taking some time off or probably that you still had more to catch up on and might not want the latest update yet. Sorry!! Gasp! How did you escape from Captain Responsibility? Or did he leave you with a warning? I barely no a technique at escaping but I always try to sneak into Arhasia when he's not strolling about! Oh, I must thank that InnKeeper of ours for paying so close an attention to the tale and hence being able to tell you...and well, to think that he would keep aside all his work to tell you the tale too! I really must thank him!! Ah, rugs for everyone form your wonderful journey! This is glorious indeed! Did you all hear? On behalf of all our dear Comrades and readers, hank you, my Forum Mentor. I gravely missed you and I was waiting for you to return and how happy I am to see your back and all spirited!! Watch out for Captain Responsibility in the meantime!

Bea_rom: Oh my! A new visitor to the inn! This is happy news indeed! I will update when I get time and strength to do so, dear, and yes, you will indeed "discover" many things in the coming chapters...

Jonashi: You are the only one, dear, the ONLY ONE who signs of her name mentioning proudly that you belong to the Circle of Arhasian Comrades! I feel so happy seeing the CAC with your name! Yes, you said it right" Every reader is special to me, everyone has a face and place when I close my eyes and take a trip to Arhasia! I am so happy to know your love for Payaash and ArShi and also your decision to accept Shyam despite his...vileness! Oh my! It's so sweet of the InnKeeper to give you some coffee before stepping into the cold outside the inn. You know what made me most happy in your reactions to my tale: that you see the scenes play on your screen as though not words but live events unveiling before your eyes! You have made me so happy dear Jonashi! And its so sweet of you to regard all the Comrades and wish them good! Hope you are doing well yourself, dear!

Srija: Still on the 9th cloud, dear? Come down so you can read the rest of the chapters!

Mxk3444: I am so happy seeing yuror excitement for this little tale of mine. I can update on Saturday yes but sometimes, I find joy in giving surprise updates on weekdays as well!! It's a rare event but most weekday updates are for those who love the story not for ArShi alone but for the whole of Arhasia and the feeling of being part of this tale in its entirety! Thank you so much for loving it dear!

Crinklez: I am always so happy to know how the story impacted you and I so loved the fact that you thoroughly enjoyed the last updates! It's such a surprising joy to know you felt the tension of the forest events!

Arshy4ever: My deep lines-loving reader! I am always so happy seeing your happy colourful comments on my thread! The way you see into Lavanya's pain, Kushi's wisdom, hope-doused sky scenes, your love for a title name because of its significance to the tale or chapter. You even draw comparisons from earlier chapter where once Lavanya mentioned Kushi would help those who hurt her and you brought out how Kushi sought to help both Lavanya and Arnav who had only given her hurt. I also love how with your deep reading you pick out "contrasts" in the ArShi confrontations as well... Other lines I loved from you:

I wonder how you portrayed three men in entirely three different ways...You did an excellent foundation for three A's [ Arnav,Akash,Aman ] characters... The readers can never have a doubt in the deeds of these three...Becoz you have done a foolproof character building here... I know you created all these passionate Arshi scenes with extreme "contrast" in their characters.

Thank you so much dear, for understanding me through my tale...Oh dear! You want to call me Miss Cliff-hanger too like peepli? *chuckle* I can't help it! My hand stops writing when I reach a certain point!

Flowers4u: Thank you dear for stumbling across my tale! I am so happy you found me!

Preetianjita: For once, your comment box is not all questions ?!! I am so glad you could come by when the "messenger pigeon" arrived; anytime is fine, dear. Ah, you felt Lavnaya's pain and Aman's fearful confusion and (not respectful confusion according to wonderful you) and well, the war-like nok-jhok actually found a place in your heart! I am so glad and yes, contemplative questions are here and I'm so glad to know your side of Arnav's psychology...let's see how it mould out to the end.

Saga_twilight: Oh my! This is the most surprising comment I've received so far. Please let me quote your words here: "very very funnily this is 0ne such update where we actually get t0 see different categ0ies 0f rabba ve's at 0nce...a funny rabba ve, a sad rabba ve, an angry rabba ve, a r0mantic rabba ve, a c0nfusing rabba ve and even uncateg0rized rabba ve :D
C0ngratulati0ns 0n this achievement!!!"

Thank you dear saga_twlilight for making me happy!

Kushipugly: My most enthusiastic reader! Ah, I was wondering why you were late in commenting but here you are! And you've almost liked every single comment made on this thread! *giggle* I don't know how great a writer I will be but this is presently my most treasured creation! Like I told Aura at college, you can actually do a critical study and theoretical analysis on this FF by connecting all symbolisms and connecting interpretations, many of which are only about to come. No, you don't need wonderful words to tell me how much you love this tale, dear. I just see you "liking" every comment and your excitement in spamming and making my thread alive...and I know how much you are to my Arhasia! And I am so blessed to have a reader like you, dear! I can never thank you enough!

Shas: Dearest darling Shas! After your wonderful "1000th comment" surprise, I was even more overwhelmed seeing this long comment from you. You need not have made it so long but I could see your love and emotions gush forth in its length...like you could not stop it! You loved the bear and made it positive! *chuckle* And I was laughing wildly reading Kushi and her "question marks!" And your sweet love for Shadow! Arnav in Tarzan Avatar! And I so loved how you described the depth of all the events that took place and if I must reply to them I can only quote them here for they say it. But I will repeat your lines here that I hadn't even thought was there in what I wrote: a sum-up of struggling emotions: "WHAT A STRUGGLE IT HS BEEN FR HIM THROUGH OUT..FRM JEALOUSY TO INSECURITY TO LOVE TO RELIEF TO POSSESSIVENESS TO ATTAINMENT TO CONFUSION TO APPREHENSION TO DESIRES .. A HUGE BATTLE FOUGHT, WON N LOST.. POOR LORDY LORD!! NO WONDER WHY HE'S ANGRY ALL DA TIME.."

I am so happy Shas to know you care so much for the tale. And like I told, this thread is yours to mess around and have fun in! Arhasia belongs to all those who love it!

I am really happy that my ArShi chapters were good to read and delightful to one's reading heart! But I am sorry if I must say that I cannot always give you scenes on ArShi alone. This story is not about Arnav and Kushi, it's about "the world of Arnav and Kushi and how everything in that world brought them together and made them feel the hard strains and happy strings of their relationship so that in the end they would find the strength to love and the healing to trust each other and those around them."

Like most of you have pointed out to me, (and I admit, I was blind to that fact until you told it to me Kushi is not the only one teaching lessons here to Arnav. Arnav has got the role in teaching some valuable lessons to Kushi as well. Yes, just like how a chirpy, happy girl is unconsciously moulding Arnav to become the man he had should be, even the cold dark man unknowingly does things intended to make Kushi a better person. Or should I say, the right person for him! *wink*

Chapter Eighty Five: In Nani's room

Kushi had her head on Nani's lap as the older woman gently caressed her hair. The curtains were apart and the window was open, letting the light and the cool breeze stream into the once-dreary room. Fortune, the white parrot, had used the opportunity of the opened window to tour the open skies.

"I have been a fool, Nani," she said, and looked up.

"Everyone is a fool, my Child," said Nani, smiling down at her, "Fools with reasons."

"But I have acted most unwisely and hence put the First Lord into a state where he had to fight off a bear from attacking me," reasoned Kushi.

"One's experiences teach lessons life seeks to instil," said Nani, gazing at the window, and then she looked at Kushi, "Besides, I cannot comprehend how it can be solely your fault. Chotey must have had a hand in the accident too, I am certain." Kushi was about to say something when Nani smiled, "I was most surprised, I tell you, but I didn't know you had the habit of making chocolate liquor when you were worked up or worried in the mind."

"It's a habit that's hard to wear off," said Kushi sheepishly, "Babuji had always insisted that I carry a sack of cocoa beans along with me, lest I need it and cannot find it to appease my heart's need."

"It's a curious scheme to calm oneself," considered Nani, "But I suggest you learn to bear down your worries without the aid of cocoa beans or any such beans as that. A time may come when you have no supply of those beans and then what would you do, bitiya? Always prepare yourself for the alternatives."

"I've always had my cocoa beans with me," said Kushi worriedly, "To not have them..."

"It will be hard in the beginning but you must learn gradually to be without them," said Nani kindly, "I was terribly vexed when Anjalibitiya came and told me what the noise downstairs was about. I was almost on the verge of coming down to see to you myself when she came and told me all was fine and that you had revived your old spirit and was with Lady La."

Kushi was silent.

Nani leaned back in her armchair and continued, "I know Chotey can be hard but I also know that what he lacks is what he is unintentionally searching for."

Kushi looked up, confused, but said nothing. She placed a hand on Nani's hand and realised it was the hand wrapped in the cloth.

Kushi could not look away from the hand and she dared to ask, "Nani, if I'm not prodding too deep, what-?"

"It's nothing," said Nani, withdrawing her hand and looking away, "A desperate attempt to save a flower can earn one a hard sting."

Kushi was surprised hearing this. Was Nani quoting the story of the little girl's flower and the honeybee?

Nani looked at her, "How is Lady La? Is she kind towards you?"

"Very, Nani!" said Kushi smiling, "Lady Lavanya is a lot different from the person we know her as. She is quite lonely and loving on the inside."

"So it could be," said Nani, disinterestedly, "But I assure you, if Lady La does prove to be a worthy granddaughter-in-law for me, it will because of what you have inspired in her through your affinity."

"I am sorry I may have to differ, Nani," said Kushi apologetically, "But I do nothing to change her...what I do is merely to awaken the true Lady Lavanya caged within her."

Nani touched the young girl's head, "To speak well of others and to understand the voice of a heart, Kushibitiya...for this, you are indeed a Gift of the Divine."

"I am what I was brought up to be," said Kushi humbly.

"So you are," said Nani, "I would dearly love to meet your father and mother and tell them how wonderfully they have brought their daughter up. And do bring your sister along one day; all the stories you have told of your village adventures with her makes me want to meet her in person."

"I will express your wish when I meet her today, Nani," assured Kushi.

Just then, Lady Anjali walked in with a tray, upon which was Nani's morning tea and breakfast.

Kushi and Lady Anjali greeted each other and Kushi volunteered to carry the tray to Nani and then she busied in serving Nani while Lady Anjali sat on the armchair beside her grandmother and watched them.

"How do you feel at heart this morning, Miss Kushi?" asked Lady Anjali, warmly eyeing the girl she had addressed.

"I can only feel excitement welling in my heart for, in an hour, I leave for home," said Kushi happily, as she passed the cup of tea into Nani's waiting hands.

"Sundays are so empty without you, Miss Kushi," said Lady Anjali, "And to think that you have been here for four weeks!"

"Surprising, isn't it?" said Nani, sipping her tea, "And it already feels as though she's always been part of the family for many years!"

The three of them laughed merrily and then Kushi shook her head, "I am afraid it is true. The place I thought I would detest to the last day of my life, I have come to love. Everyone is so dear and near to my young heart that Sunday farewells have become so hurting," Kushi's face was sad when she added, "And to think that one day, my need here will expire and I will have to bid goodbye for ever."

Nani paused the passage of her teacup to her lips and Lady Anjali gasped, "Miss Kushi! You shall say no such thing!"

"You have broken my heart, little girl," said Nani, placing the cup down.

Kushi was worried, "Nani, I didn't mean to-"

"You are right in what you said for it is something we are aware of but never find the strength to utter," assured Nani with a sad face, "But to have heard it worded was...piercing. However, now I realize how I have been most predisposed. I tell you to give up on a hard habit of making chocolate liquor to brave those days when cocoa beans cannot be found, while, here I sit, brooding over the day I will have to lose you when I should equip myself for the event. I have been most biased indeed!"

Kushi smiled, "You are wise enough to know the difference, Nani. That is what stands more important."

"You spoil me with your words," said Nani, smiling at her as she picked her teacup again.

"The power of words is unfathomable, but silences have supremacy in meaning more than words," said Lady Anjali as if speaking from memory and then she looked at Kushi and her cheeks warmed when she said, "That is one of the many axioms of my dear husband."

"He sounds like a wise man," said Kushi.

"A very experienced one," added Lady Anjali, nodding, "I would really like it if he could meet you. You would find him a very pleasing gentleman."

"That I would," smiled Kushi, "For a delightful lady like you to adore him, he must be an idyllic man."

"He certainly is," said Lady Anjali, looking at Nani and Kushi, "He thrives on everything he does. And everything that comes into the circle of his life, he embraces with all his heart."

"He sounds like one whose heart is limitless!" said Kushi, "Strange for a man of the war who should be bowed down by the pain he sees all around."

"I believe it was war that taught him to be smile in the face of strife," said Lady Anjali, "Do you not think, Nani?"

"I barley know him as much as I know my servants," said Nani, spooning her breakfast, "My recluse in this room has given me very few glimpses of that man of your life. But as far as I can remember of him, yes, he is an agreeable gentleman."

"Next time he comes, Nani," said Kushi, leaning forward, "You must try and do your part in making him feel accepted by you before he heaves himself to another call for war."

"I suppose I should," assured Nani, and then she and Lady Anjali saw Kushi rise up to leave. It broke their hearts but they sent her with blessings and wishes for her family in the Village.

Kushi had left the room and was climbing down the stairs, her hand gliding along the wooden handrail of the stairway, and had reached midway when she abruptly stopped. Her fingers clutched hard upon the wooden rail of the stairway.

Her eyes were gripped in an uneasy look as she gazed at the scene before her. Seated in the lounge of the living room was her mistress, dressed in her morning robe and sitting beside her was the First Lord. Oblivious of Kushi's presence, Lady Lavanya's hands rested on his stiff thigh. While he stared coldly onto the floor, Lady Lavanya was speaking softly to him and occasionally caressing his cheeks and his hands.

Then Lady Lavanya moved forward and Lord Arnav closed his eyes. Lady Lavanya had actually intended to move for his lips, but Kushi realised that she had changed her mind and kissed his cheek instead.

Kushi gathered herself and climbed down the remaining stairs, heading for her room for which she had to pass through the living room. As she passed, she heard a snatch of words.

"I was so worried for you, ASR," said Lady Lavanya, "How horrid that you had to brave a bear singlehandedly..."

Lord Arnav opened his eyes and looked at her, "Nothing is hard for me, Lavanya," and then suddenly he looked over his lover's shoulder and saw Kushi staring at them.

Kushi looked away and hurried to her room all the while feeling his gaze bearing onto her back.

Look away! Look away! She pleaded as she slipped into the room and shut the door, barring his eyes from haunting her anymore. Quickly she changed into a new gown, took her trunk of her little things and after giving one last look around the room of her mistress to see that all was in place and perfect, she left the room.

She headed straight for the kitchen this time, intending to leave through the backdoor, for she wished to avoid Lady Lavanya and the First Lord.

As she raced out of the backdoor, trudging over the grass, the trunk in one hand and holding her skirt up with the other, she wondered why...why she had felt a pang of pain seeing her mistress with Lord Arnav whom her mistress loved and she herself hated...

Kushi stopped. The image of the stitched scars on his chest flashed through her mind. Kushi winced, I hate him, I always will...

She opened her eyes and rushed for the stable where a carriage waited but there was no one else within expect for the horses. Her eyes fell on the black horse at one end, who in turn, eyed this unexpected entry, gowned and flushed in the morning sunlight that fell through the door.

She took reluctant steps towards the horse but stood a good distance away from him.

The horse grunted, neutrally.

Kushi tilted her head, "Are you horrid enough to like doing your Master's bidding or do you often regret when you do things for him?"

The horse lifted his head and looked at her expressionlessly. But his ears had perked up as though he were listening.

"I know you don't understand my words, for you are a horse," Kushi began and earned a disappointed grunt from the black steed, "But I cannot help but ask, what do you think last day was all about?"

The horse leaned down and nudged at the door that held him in the stall. Kushi found herself moving forward. Her hand reached out and hovered before his black snout.

The horse eyed her hand and she whispered, "May I?"

He didn't move his head away but remained still. She lowered her hand and pressed her tender fingers upon his cold forehead.

The horse closed his eyes and Kushi smiled, "You are just like your Master."

The horse opened his eyes and Kushi gazed into its wild watery depths, "You despise me often but you close your eyes when I touch you. He does that too...I don't know why."

The horse moved away and slipped into the darkness of his inner stall, watching her from within.

Kushi stood for a while, hurt by his sudden withdrawal, and just then Om Prakash walked into the stable. He saw Kushi standing inside and told her they could leave for the Village. Kushi nodded, turned to look at the hidden horse one last time, and whispered "Farewell, Heart of Shadow."

And then she walked away and slipped into the carriage in which Om Prakash would take her home. Take her from this world of feelings she could not understand...



I see that some of you are in earnest to start the new thread, and we are nearing the 85th chapter and still stuck on the first thread! Owing to the fact that my friends and Comrades are less in number when compared to what popular FF writers on the Forum have and also because I do not reply to the comments made on my thread itself (I want the FF thread solely for the chapters and your lovely comments)...But let me tell you, without all your encouragement and deep-hearted comments, I would have either stopped the FF long back or maybe even not reached the 135th page right now...So yes, the credit to this thread reaching its journey so far goes out to you all and the second thread will commence as soon as we manage to sail this ship to its 150th page!!

P. S. Along with Captain Responsibility, I have more reasons to not be on the Forum often. My brothers come for a week's vacation*dancing happily* and I want to spend some quality time with caring for him. So, well...yeah, while I care for my Chotey, you guys enjoy the double Choteys of our beloved show!

Firstly dear, you don't need to thank me ever for commenting! It's totally my pleasure to be a part of this wonderfully bewitching tale…. 😎

Damnit, I should have known, this unexpected update must come with a catch, it was too good to be true…. But now that you have said you are gonna be busy, please please please give us atleast a teeny tiny update during the weekend (I mean I have absolutely no problem if u give a long one!!!)… 😉 😆 😛

CH 85: Again I am stumped by the sheer meaning in Nani's dialogues!!! How do you do it woman??? Subtle meanings, several layers, different tones for each of the characters, heck even the animals (read Fortune and Shadow) speak here… Its simply astonishing the change you bring about in the characters, I mean for one person to be at the helm of such a tale with it's totally different aura is something which I have come to admire…. 👏

I'm glad Nani tells her that he must have had a hand in hurting himself, the poor girl was beating herself about it to no end… Hmmm, but Nani telling her to be prepared for the time when there aint no chocolate liquor to calm her down rang a ominous bell in my mind…..Even Nani is affected by Khushi to such an extent that she was willing to come out of her room just to pacify and comfort her…. The girl, who arrived just a month ago, has such a profound influence on perhaps the most perspective and intelligent member of the household speaks volumes…… 👍🏼

Finally one intriguing question answered, albeit cryptically… hmmm, I wonder is she talking about Arnav hurting her while she saved someone else???? There seems to be a lot of background story here that needs unearthing…. *ponders*

So Nani here also believes that Khushi brought out the good in La, and what does our darling do?? She points out that all she did was just bring forth something that was already present in La…. My god this girl is definitely NOT a human being!!!

Awww, her talk of leaving one day saddens all, but it is the truth and I'm glad in a way that she brought it up… It made nani think about her own insecurities and whatnot… Hmmm, she refers to Shyam as "that man of your life"??? It just goes on to show that she hasn't really interacted with him, boy I wait for the day these two spend tons of time together, would love to see what Nani makes of him….

Khushi was hurt, she obviously doesn't know about it now but deep down it was difficult to see him being touched and kissed by La… Ah love hurts dear… And Lordy Lord aint far behind, he senses that she is around and turns exactly at the right time to look into her eyes… Sigh Lin, you paint such beauty with your words that I just wanna drown in the magic… ☺️

Yaaay ! Convo with Shadow, am loving it! He reacts so amazingly man, it's like he's a character himself! He even has the habit his master has, moving away from her when she says something like this, emotional and true!!!!


Oh a question, why does she call him "Heart of Shadow"???????? 😕

Great update, lots of things going on… It's F U N baby!!!

continue soon!

Gonna catch a cold! I ran out of here so fast that I forgot to bring my coat! Oh well, it was totally worth it!

I love Nani's wisdom. Aren't grandmother's great? They teach by word and by example. It will be interesting to see how her thoughts to Khushi are played out.

Can't wait to see what Arnav was thinking when he saw Khushi. Did he rush out to watch her leave or did he stomp off to his room. Maybe he realized at that moment that La's touch did nothing for him. And Shadow... Hmmm... very interesting. I'll definitely be reading this chapter again.

About your readership. I was noticing that too yesterday. The interesting thing is that there are so many views. People may not respond, but they sure are reading!

Have fun with your brothers!

wow...this was the first emotion khushi felt towards arnav, as arnav in ur last update felt toward khushi when she was in tears...

And now i can see the familiarity between the master and the horse u chose for him...like khushi explained...it was true how he despises her but whenever she is in his vicinity he feels those emotions which makes him angry and to take it out on khushi...i don't know if arnav read the emotions in khushi's hastiness but may be he'll try to get answer for those too...

That was one gr8 update i read...

Linny...

Awesome Update as always...👏

I want to tell you in advance that I'm in a hurry... So a short comment and also there 'll be errors...Please bear with me...


I have to quote this one...And only this one...
" Every one is fool my child, said Nani smiling down at her.Fools with reasons..."
Becoz it contains the essence of this chapter... In fact it contains reasons for all the chapters... Its just five or six words..But it made me sit back and think...

I here by announce that I have chosen the word REASON as the Word Of This Chapter and Word Of The Week...


Each and every deeds of every tiny character came to my mind and helped me to review the story with a new fresh pair of eyes... Now I don't have doubts or complaints ... From Now I never won't ... Right now I have the reason behind all tiny happenings in our FF...

How Linny...??? How...??? How could you pen such a simple but deep answer for a million questions with this much ease... ??? It was just beyond perfection... I don't know actually how to let you know how much I enjoyed that sentence ...Hats off to you Darling Linny...👏

All the dialogues between Threesome [ Khushi,Nani,Lady Anjaly] were sharp and fathomable...

Reference about Nani quoting the story of little girl's flower and the honeybee was awesome...

Khushi's meeting with Shadow, Some where deep in Khushi's mind she is disturbed seeing lady La and first Lord Arnav together...I know these are some hints given by you Linny...I think instead of Hint the word Reason is more suitable...

There is no cliffhanger this time... But as I said in my first comment you have an excellent ability to hook readers up to your plot...So once again waiting for you Linny to come to our Inn and untie the bundle of your story......


Btw Have fun time with your brothers...😛
