I feel like I'm living in a different world altogether these days. I've been reading a book set in the same period as your story,... and by now, I believe I understand the actions of people from that age so much more. And Jenny, It's crazy how true to facts you keep the characters. Their thought process and actions are insanely real. I'm assuming, either you've read so extensively, that you know the period so well OR you've done an amazing research on it. Either way, I'm amazed.
This chapter was brilliant in terms of how you spread it over time and shown how Khushi was slowly growing up and how Arnav was becoming aware of her. Felt very real as it happened over a period of time. I like the fact that Khushi found a friend in the household - Pranab... brother in law, he may be... but I'm glad she doesn't feel displaced or out of place anymore.
The father-son relationship you've shown is quite understandable. Arnav's ideas are exactly opposite to his fathers.. yet he found himself (by the end of the chapter) following his footsteps and going to visit beautiful "women" for physical satisfaction. Of course...he's visiting the place to keep Khushi and his going attraction towards her out of his mind. And I don't know if he'll go ahead with it or not...but her face and her innocent eyes would definitely come to haunt him.
Great chapter, Jen. Waiting for the next chapter eagerly!
