Arnav Arnav...what is bothering him? What are those moments he cannot get out of his head and he fears that they will haunt him forever? An accident? A death of a loved one he feels responsible for directly or indirectly...but I do love this dark brooding Arnav...the mystery that surrounds him,...making him what he is...or behaving like what he is not...I enjoyed how the ambience of the setting, the ocean, the breeze and the beach seem to fit in so perfectly with the narrative and to the story and characters.
I love his recollection of his first meeting with Khushi...such a contrast in their personalities ...he recognised her but his eyes knew how to withhold emotion and realisation and she ...her eyes a mirror of her emotions !
I loved that!
I loved how the they both effect each other and the indifference they show...his attitude and his behaviour intriguing ...something about her that draws him to her...unwillingly for now!
You have brought out the stark differences in them so brilliantly, it's making them so real!
He so serious and lonely...and she the lovely lively girl who bears the sorrow of her parents absence so bravely...
She talks to them though the stars...he wants solitude!
Loved their eyes meet and they cannot move away from each other causing her to get hurt and him rushing to her rescue...of course she affects him...and she so drawn to him that even later that night she can feel the sensation he caused by his touch and concern!
Loved how she feels the need to speak to her parents to figure out the unfamiliar emotions she is experiencing .making her heart feel something ...loved how she feels there is more to him then meets the eye and loved "Arnav" whispered Khushi, "Deep as the ocean, full of life, yet filled with turbulence! ,
It sums it up so beautifully!
Also loved her resolution to find out more about him and what makes him be the way he is when there are so many more layers to him! One minute gentle and caring and then this wall he has built around himself...keeping himself away from people and happiness.. She would make the first move and extend her hand ...of friendship ...comfort...as she felt he needed it more than anyone...
Turning back to look out at her stars, she convinced herself that it was just a trick of the eye, when she noticed them twinkling just a little bit brighter tonight.
Again brilliant...and very encouraging and with a promise of positivity!
So sorry for the delay in the comment, but I loved the update too much too just write it was beautiful and I loved it...I wanted my comment to try and express and justify the brilliance of this chapter...I am hoping I am successful...
