Fabulous update. The pond and the ambiance you have created is lovely. What had happened between them that Yash leave her.

Flashback and present is not confusing but if your sister says that you can give flashback in italics.

Great update! I really like your writing but I agree with what your sister had said about the flashback not been too clear, it was hard to figure out when exactly Yashji had gone into flashback mode.

@ roserosey - Thank you for reading and being interested in this story! But I cant PM you unfortunately...I do not PM anyone...But I will update next week so please check next Tuesday ok for the update?
@
anshusreeja - Thanks!
@Shashi1984 - Thank you for your wonderful words of appreciation! I will think abt ya suggestion to do the flashback in italics..Initially I was thinking that when you read most books, you can easily tell the flow of the story...Guess I am still not as great in expressing the story as those authors! But I will see how I can try to improve ok?
@Gkathria - Thank you for your honesty! I greatly appreciate it...I will definitely try to improve my next update to make it less ambigious for the readers on when is the present and when is the past...Though I hope this wont deter you from continuing to read this story...Cause I know how sometimes when you read books that confuses you, you slowly lose interest...
@rachna1970 - Thanks so much for loving the update! I wont be able to update anytime soon cause I have plans practically everyday for the rest of the week...But I will update next week so please check next Tuesday ok for the update?

This part was so sad - probably because its so real. You touched on multiple issues that occur in daily life: domestic violence, the pretence that everything is fine, the grasping need of immigrants to US as they wait and wait for the elusive "American" dream... 👏 👏

As to your q#2: it was a little confusing for a moment but i caught on. I think the reason it was confusing is because, structurally, there was no gap, no differentiation between past and present. Multiple ways of doing that of course:
1. the obvious one being label the past as "Past" or something like that.
2. Or write the past portions in a different font/style (like italics).
3. Or something like:

"He remembered he was in fourth grade when he discovered Mystic Park...

He was approaching his apartment when he could hear the familiar pleas and cries coming from inside."

Hope that helps.

@kdsubs - thank you so much for the wonderful comments! I like the term you used - "elusive American dream"! I am so sorry that it gets confusing for the flashback part...😔 I greatly appreciate you pointing out the ways I could addreess this confusion..I will try to see which method works when I update the next part - most likely I will ask my sis for her feedback first! And please also point out any other ways I can improve my writing ok...
