Nidhi, the clarity and the flow with which you write...your thought process and your story are all just outstanding and make me fall deeper and deeper into love and respect for your writing and story!
This was so brilliant...loved it...
Arnav thinks what he felt with La was love...she blended into his life and lifestyle perfectly...having her in his life, made his Di happy...she suited him as a person...but clearly there was something amiss in that relationship for it to have turned out the way it did...according to me he assumed that that was love...only now when he starts to analyse or realise his feelings for Khushi will understand the difference...La was more a habit and Khushi a necessity ...La brought his family happiness, not directly but knowing the Arnav had a partner in his life gave his family happiness...where as Khushi she brings him happiness...
Once he realises the difference that things that are predestined to happen are never anyone s fault and circumstances cannot be controlled only how you deal with them can be ...once he makes spaces in his heart ...venting out and pouring out his grief ...by sharing it with someone who will understand will he be able to make space for that emotion called loved ...he does not know it ...and when he does he will know it's not something that can be controlled by the head...once he realises that he is not the cause of how things happen and that there is a bigger force who is in control...
Loved the bond that Arnav and Khushi have developed, the understanding and comfort they are able to provide, each other...loved how she has finally told him she does not like coffee at all...
Their desire and passion as strong as their companionship and that pull they feel towards each other...her introducing him to her parents...him opening up to her about his life and the reason behind his pain and grief...his betrayal and sense of guilt, his loss...loved how he silently listens to her life story, mesmerised by her inner beauty as much as her physical beauty! How he thanks her for sharing her story with him, he realises the value of her sharing it with him...
Loved how he tells her about his past but loved how he says ..it's not what you think...seeing her in tears!
Loved how he sees her out by the beach and just has to join her there!
Both have suffered loss..he has seen his father follow his mother unable to take her loss and she her parents...both know the feeling and she understands him perfectly ...
loved the shower scene...when she answers the phone ...panting...and his teasing...her understanding his need to cancel their date...
I loved Vandana...and his relationship ...their friendship...loved her warmth and sense of humour and her perceptiveness ...she immediately has noticed something going on between Khushi and her brother in law...
I love how she talks to him about the past and reassures him about Di and how she is moving on with her life and advices Arnav to do the same.., loved his offer to talk to his brother and he with response..ha ha ! ...brilliantly written...
Loved how instead of moping she heads to the beach with Paayal...she is keen to tell Paayal about Arnav and her...but does not know what to say...she does not know what name to give the relationship they share...hence loved her apprehension,,,loved the perfect timing...Payal goes in...and Aranv comes out...
I can feel the passion and intensity of their kiss...the longing and the desire...
I am so glad he tells her the truth about his past and where he is coming from...am so glad he felt she deserves to know...and was ready to share with her and let her into her life...according to me this is a step in the right direction...knowing his feelings about love, his stubbornness to stay away from it ...as a punishment for what he thinks he is responsible for ..I am keen to see what happens next...!
Thank you for making this Vandana sharing so much screen space with Arnav...and getting to even share so much with him!
