I love how the relationships are playing out. We are intrigued that elusive person but so many things - other people, age, the person in question itself - so many things distract us away
Some things are inevitable, though. That these two will find each other is not doubtful but I am enjoying the unfolding of how they will reach that place and where they will go from there
NKay sounds like such a nice guy but nice guys almost always lose to the bad, bad guys out there - cigarette, scar and everything
I am pleasantly surprised with the turn of events ..specially keeping in mind the very first chapter/prologue and where khushi was then...
You have shown the undeniable attraction between Arnav and khushi but these two are not acting on it..attraction is after all to everything ...at least till now...😊
NK and Arnav are a study in contrasts...and it will be exciting to read how Khushi will not end up making the obvious choice...if that is where your story is headed, that is...
Can we expect Diwali fireworks in the next chapter?
Firstly I hope that you and your family overcome this tragedy !! My condolences to your family !!
The update was superb !!!! Khushi's surprise and then her decision to back away from Arnav and let go of her crush was understood !!!!!
Really liking Arnav !!! The conversation was really good !!! Even I was apalled by the happenings in Delhi !!!! And teh way you have written the whole conversation !!!
I just loved that coffee date! Once again ,a very realistic portrayal of a young couple on a date. But I was a little disappointed in Arnav, who decided to give up on a possible pursuit of Khushi. And why is he with the model if he had just decided to go easy on the relationships for the time being? Yeh ASR meri samajh ke baahar hai. Of course, it's early days yet, and there's the Diwali party to look forward to! Will there be jaadu and nasha there ? Can't wait to find out!
PS: What's with all the food talk in this chapter ? Between the walnut cake , falafel wraps and parathas, you've got me hungry now! 😆
Hope all is well in your personal life. Saw your note about the family issues. Felt sad after reading them. Please take care of yourself. I hope writing helps you in someway through all this.
Coming to the update. It was super! There are so many things I loved about it.
Firstly let me tell you I do not like writing about Arhi and do not haunt this forum much. That is because I am not a big fan of ASR character itself. I hate everything he stands for. And of course when the CVs butchered his character beyond redemption I did not regret my decision to stay away from the most popular serial online.
Needless to say I do not read about Arhi much either. For invariably the FF becomes about his redemption or trying to explain the way he is being characterized on TV.
But here you have explained Arnav in a way where he holds his essence yet is as close to the character of ASR as humanely possible. And for that 👏. I have gotten real curious about him and the way he is because of Khushi's intelligent questions about it.
I love Khushi. Really love her. She has had a sheltered upbringing but still wants to explore the world on her own terms. Really like that about her. I like the Payal-Khushi equation in this update. It was so obvious that Payal wants Khushi to end up with NK. 😉. For her own good of course. Payal is not even encouraging conversation about Arnav which may be she is not doing intentionally but still shows the underlying concern she has for her friend. Very nice.
One can really feel Khushi is falling little by little for Arnav here. She likes his thoughts, views about life in general. The only point of contention for her is the marriage part. I am seriously curious to know when and how her strong belief on marriage and such is going to be compromised.
And the Delhi rape case has angered me too. Such cruelty is possible only in humans. It is a slap on the face of our administration and policing.
Last but never the least, he patted her hand 'reassuringly' huh. 😆 This man sure knows his moves. I am waiting for the master of the game to continue his 'casual innocent encounters'.
Amazing ff.. And powerful chapter 7. The talk between arnav and khushi was serious yet through the conversation u brought out a lot of issues that need to be addressed as well as change that needs to be seen in society. What happened to that medical student was horrific.. How sick minded can people get? And what pleasure do they get out of harming someone that much? You were right in saying that people need to see men and women as equal.. No women should be thought of as any less than a man. Women can do what men can do and more and it's time people actually see it. We are one of the only races who cannot even care for our own.. Look at how we treat women or how many wars we fight? Is all that violence necessary? It's time to actually think about what we do and why we do it.. And we should also see all as equal.
But this chapter was very powerful and moving.. And your talent was evidently seen in the way you addressed such a topic yet kept the story flowing by having arnav and khushi bond. I think that the way the relation between them is moving is slow yet steady and that's what makes it realistic and enjoyable to read. You are truly a skilful writer and it is a pleasure reading your work!
I am appalled someone can mock a persons loss. What goes around, comes around. I am a firm believer in this. I am sorry for your loss, it is never easy to lose someone especially a close relative. Time will only heal the wounds. Please only update when you have the time and feel up to it, we will be waiting patiently
Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani
