thats okay
we can wait

No worries Jen, we will still be here... 😉

love you Jen. will wait. no problem.

Friday morning has arrived. Waiting.

A 😎

hamein ghat jaana hai! Abhi! =)
such is impact of the picture you paint, that it not only makes me visualize but feel the serenity of that scene , of whats going on in the hearts of Arnab and Khushi.
That Khushi spoke about the ongoing affairs in the country, I 'd guess it gives a glimpse of the woman that she 'd be. One never knows! She may partake in building the road to India s' independance.. Angrezo Bharat chhodo! 😡
yeah. Alright.
And there was such bond which formed between them that as Arnab says, that what she saw in his eyes , she'd understand when the time comes. They'l visit this moment for years to come that ll give them hope that they'll be like this,sitting together, again someday. Now considering tough times are here..
Seldom things happen as planned.. What he'd thought that he'l take Khushi with him and here he had to leave even before he started practicing as a doctor..

Arnab is such a good writer too! 😃 The way he expressed was beautiful.
Such a caring man!


The scene where he felt that way for his father and then leaves was so well written..

How cute Khushi looked doing that thing with pallu and keys in front of the mirror :)

now what will happen?! Il cry Jenny! Please tell me Pranab will be wise enough. Khushi would be lonely and vulnerable and m scared..

Edit

I must admit Jenny that I am usually not attracted to time period stories however this was has looped me in. Despite an age difference ( that was quite common in that era) you have managed to make their relationship interesting.

Reading about this Arnab and Khushi is captivating. Despite Khushi being a teen she has matured considerably from the girl with the doll.

It's quite obvious that she is infatuated with Arnab and vice versa. I am eager to see how Pranab wi complicate things for this couple and hopefully Arnab will take Khushi with him. If he leaves her behind she will be simply heartbroken.

Looking forward to the next chapter :)

Jenny,

The following was written so beautifully that I read it again and again and again.

It was two monsoons ago that she had come into my life like the fragrance of rain soaked Jasmine flowers that the wind brought to me. With her doll held tightly and soaked from head to toe, she had embarked totally unprepared on the road to womanhood. A rough journey begun too soon in my opinion and accelerated no doubt by my immense frustration at myself, at my physical needs and at this society but which I inadvertently directed towards her on that ill-fated night. Today she stands on the brink of womanhood, where she is neither a child nor a woman. A short lived twilight phase to gently transition the innocent brightness of a day into the intriguing beauty of a starry night. I can be the catalyst to this transition, but do I want to be?

Indeed Khushi is growing into a beautiful woman. She is not the girl who walked into Arnav's life with a doll. She let the doll go, she is studying, picking up ropes of household, embroidery and she is not behind the political situation of the country. As she is growing up, her feelings for Arnab are growing too. It's like her being is for Arnab only, yet she has a mind of her own too. She is effortlessly blending into his life and the day is not far when she will be a "wife" to Arnab in every sense, ably standing by him.

Unknown to Arnab Khushi has become a key driver in his life. His instinct to protect her and the thriving emotions for her are helping him to make decisions, be strong and make right decisions. It's heartwarming to see that Khushi has made an entry into his journal as well heart and Arnab being so cautious of her sensitive his actions towards her. Though the responsibility of steering their relationship is on Arnab, I think Khushi will play and equal role in it, eventually. She may be the one who will give the push when Arnab is hesitant in their relationship.

The moments they spent on steps by the river were so calming. As if they were comforting each other.

Oh! I felt so bad for Khushi. Even before she came to Arnab's house or even knew how he looked, she has been worshipping him and made him sole reason of her living. And suddenly knowing that he left without telling her and that she won't be seeing him every day, it's heartbreaking.

I hope Arnab takes her with him. I am seeing Arnab leaving the house as a turning point. May be, now their relationship will grow faster.

Yay Jenny really excited for an update :)
