This is so intense. I hope Khushi stays strong! A part of me is wondering whether the prologue is a the revenge on Khushi which Arnav so deeply desires. It'd be very cruel if it is.

There's something I didn't mention in my comment on last chapter and that's the title names for every chapter. Including phrases that have been accustomed to us via IPK and weaving a story based on that (or vice a versa) is just brilliant!👏

I have to give it to this Khushi. I don't know what happened in the past or who was at fault but the way she handles herself is pretty commendable. The way she handled his jab on professionalism, her composed demeanor as also giving Arnav his due through her unruffled yet acrimonious replies speaks volumes for her.

There's so much to Arnav that we are unaware of. Devyaani's words were enough to give a peek onto him and his life which albeit successful is being lived in solitude. I could have understood him leaving his past in Delhi but to have taken it all the way to the US as well just tells us that it was indeed very disturbing for him. And in that Devyaani also mentins that talking things out could be the solution...the whole thing's shrouded in mystery.

Sheetal makes an entry! At least that's enough for us to know that she isn't some random woman but then Arnav wouldn't ahve cavorted with any woman right? To know that she's interested in him but he isn't, that he doesn't believe in mixing business with pleasure only makes me want to ask him...what happened to these thoughts a month later? There's so much confusion.

All I know is that whatever happened was quite huge; enough to make NK make Khushi resign her job, enough for Lavanya to agree to keeping information from her husband,enough to turn Arnav into a complete athiest and enough to conclude that thing's are going to stir up a hornet's nest once again. Par aisa kya hua tha? By the way, I liked Lavanya.

You know each and every scathing reply by Khushi is such that you've got to sit up and take notice. So apart from the storyline itself this is something I shall be looking forward to. This one had me whistling at her views on people not believing in rituals and the absolutely delightful punch when she says that the ministry of health and family welfare should not be held by a person who jumps off cliffs for a living! 👏

There's something that left me baffled (apart from the raaz about the past😆)...I agree that Arnav hasn't been in India for the past ten years but since he comes from a political family, or eevn if we were to not dwell on that, Arnav should have known that the country is ruled (or I should say governed...democratically) by a bunch of illiterates, isn't it?

You know the part where he decided to fire useless members reminded me of the movie Nayak, the roles fitting perfectly with Arnav as Anail Kapoor and Khushi as the aide Paresh Rawal.

I wish I could comment on the last part including the nightmare...but then I just can't make out anything from it...mystification to the hilt!

I think your birthday calls for an Un-res ya?

J, J, J!

Why you do this ya? And I'm so glad that you do!

You bring back all the correct feelz! The nervous anticipation, the (s)excitement!
THANK YOU!

Too right Khushi is. If Arnav doesn't let go of his animosity at least at work, then he's had it!
She IS trying to be professional and no matter what went down a decade ago, he needs to get his act together now.

Nani... she clearly wants Arnav back for good. M tink conspiracy heer ya.
And Akash is a pawn. Willing or manipulated.

And then Lavanya and NK. So whatever happened ten years ago, everyone is in the know. Or at least on the surface. Arnav and his family attach blame to Khushi. Clearly.
Khushi's family and Khushi only express a need for self preservation and the desire to protect Khushi. Not blame anyone.

So frnz, m tink, Khushi really DID do something awful in the mysterious past. Something worthy of awl the nafrat ya?

And then shady Sheetal. She obviously DOES come down to India and makes out with Arnav some too. Chalo, uska toh sapna poora hua.

And epiphany hits! ASR realizes that the verbal sparring gives him a rush and thrills him. That is, brings him peace.

But of course that realization must be accompanied by a hurtful jibe at her clothes.

I applaud Khushi every time she hits back though.

Oh! Oh! I know what M.R.I. stands for! Magnetic Resonance Imaging ya? And I didn't google that. Aayi shapath!
M tink there is a position for me on ASR's team ya?

Oooh! I know you're doing research on the go, J, and that was a fabulous last bit! Resonates our national situation perfectly. Now if only some of our leaders had the balls to do what A and K are planning to do over the next few months.
They are such a good team! If only... (I'm pretending to be in the know and leaving a cliff hanger too.)

So now, analyzing Khushi here-- she's not exactly melting in a puddle of guilt and remorse, but she IS kinda defensive. And defensive means that she DOES acknowledge some amount of error on her part. At least subconsciously.
So the question is, WHAT is she guilty of.
There is a wedding involved. But we don't know whose. I don't think A and K were in love before this. This seems to me to be a slow build up of their feelings, in the face of REAL animosity and clash.

I dunno now J. I will wait. Not so patiently. And spam.

SORRY!! sorry hazaron sorry!

So after much dilemma and discussion Luna is back. Also warning my words might be yours, S's or TG's..dont feel plagiarised yaara..this is mere inspiration. TFS.

This story is turning out to be one of those, where whenever a new chapter is introduced you want to go back and re-read it all from the beginning. Then the discussion makes me go back a third time. And yet I cannot for the life of me give my two cents to the mystery. For me the pheelz, the character buildup, the relationship changes..are way too distracting dammit! I am all for the now. The slow revelations make it so much more of a fulfilling experience, with a million Eureka moments when I go back and re-read it all. I love the pace of this story..its logical and progressive, with the correct amount of suspense which never leaves me confused, just attached to the story hook, line and sinker.

Chapter 1 was freaking amazing. Chapter 2 was even more freaking amazing...heer is another random luna(tics) list as to why:

1. Its always been the way hasn't it, when K confronts A about something, and he more or less runs away from it. Many a times that has seemed so un-justified and so weak of ASR's character, but I think the whole nafrat thing you are going with gives me the pheelz that for once there is a legit reason he keeps running away, I love how you showed that in the beginning.

2. I love the fiery KKG's you have always given, but this one is even more special, like I said more mature..more worldly. May it be admonishing him for his unprofessional behaviour or sticking up for her beliefs religious or fashion wale.

3. Vulnerability. due to his past...? I have a total soft corner and irrational wala heart pounding for a vulnerable ASR. Cannot wait. Waise even the eye wala looking is quite different here, its not quite rabba-veyish, more practical I think, more real? (ps. although I do love your version of the eye sax to infinity and beyond) Am I making any sense..?

4. THANK YOU! For making him object to "chote" seriously he was way too much of an ASR for that shizzle. And even a grown man like Arnav doesn't deserve that, bas. Unless ofcourse *jumps in the gutter*

5. Ok so there are very Arnav's I like from the beginning, and I do like this one. I like that he did come back for his family when they needed him but at the same time he is selfish/self-made person. The way you handle both his sides is phenomenal and by means not an easy task, I know he might have to take tough decisions in the future pertaining to nani's "mujhe pota-poti de do beta, aur apne liye ek house wife le lo!" haha kidding kidding.

6. Again A.R. makes so much sense, a perfect escape from the stifling atmosphere. You know as much as he suits the neta role, I think this is what he really wants to do..his calling. I dont think he will be able to give it up easily, in the end (today's convo ya?)

7. Sheetal seems nice enough, it is only natural to crush and care about someone as magnetic as ASR who can blame her. She doesn't sound super clingy or chasing him endlessly types, because they do seem to share a great professional relationship?

8. JUJU IS BACK -
She was definitely not an opinionated spitfire who dressed in muted sarees and never accepted her mistakes...

9. I like the subtle way you are describing things in this one..khushi's feelings. There is a 500things going on under the surface, I am not sure if she feels guilty yet, because what was with the questioning look in her eyes in the beginning, but she sure doesnt NAFRAT Arnav, yet.

10. I love that La and NK are already shipped. bas.

11. La and K are midnight calls wale buddies..not the same as 2am calls but yeh bhi chalega. I really do like La's understanding wali advice there are a lot of things on line for K, the new life she has built for her after that 10year old incident. But at the same time K's "We can't keep it from him forever, La. And I feel guilty about asking you to keep secrets from your own husband..." This is something TG once said to me, and it really stuck out! The conversations as usual are well thought out, rational and show all sides of the coin.

12. I really love your take on ASR the businessman to Netaji transition. Nailed It. His coming early to the office, his need to take action rather than just be a name head, his need to succeed in what he was doing..typical.

13. Sheesh mahal has HAPPY memories. oh the irony.

14. I think this was by far my favouritest God related scene in your stories, when Arnav enters K's cabin and finds her praying. That was a genius idea J!! I wonder if along with surnames, and changing names, and political backgrounds...religion will play a part in this. Or is it the same old case of belief vs non belief? Regardless you always do take a fresh perspective on that, I mean you brought in the Indian Constitution and all :P

15. I like this new way of changing feeling dynamics, without any rabba-veys or eye sax, just plain old introspection. It feels like you consciously want me to get something out of this more than a SKD haha. Now A's thoughts about getting adrenaline wali feelings with verbal combats with K makes me doubt my point 6 about him wanting to go back for AR.

16. The politics..are you sure you dont know much? As usual you go your Juju way of doing things..logically, almost see a ff-real life reflection in K and J yaaara! LOL. I cannot freaking way to see how they, if they, manage to bring about some change. This gives me such a kick!

17. From firing to assurance. I think it made complete freaking sense. You always have the tendency to change things up, but not abruptly and not just cause you want to or have to move to the next phase of their relationship.

18. I love the way he described her, what all of us have been saying all along. I think if rabba-vey does happen it will be on the merit of these things. I dont know if one of those happened in the past, because as she said this was the first time he smiled at her..ever! I

19. The nightmare and waking up from it well done, but no comments from me LOL.

The more I read this story, I feel like you have reallly PLANNED it all to the D. Maybe you should give me a few planning lessons in your free time, no gutterz wonly professional talk ya?

So now what now mila paaye kabhi dono?

Luna
ps. ah I tried to stay away from guessing but its hard..

Heer!

~Edit~

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Khushi! What a woman! Tactful, diplomatic, fiery. She is attracted to Arnav but afraid of the same. She is bloody good at her job - idealistic yet pragmatic. Wohhoo!

Sheetal. I have a problem with that name. Makes me nauseous!

What kind of a brother is Aakash. Is he really spineless or is there a bigger reason behind why he is being this bheegi billi ?

I loved how you highlighted the problems and loopholes in governance, talked about the best way to handle it. Not idealistic, not cynical. Diplomat!

...I have learned to work with what I have, and not complain about what I am never going to get. 👏

Arnav has a lot to learn - about his country, about politics. Theres a whole world he left behind that he is unaware of, now he will witness it through Khushi. Brilliant!
