Aphelion - 1: Kaleidoscope

Love will find a way where hatred is weary to stay. Love flourishes between ignored spaces and unspoken apologies. They can choose anyone but they end up gravitating towards each other. They can choose to ignore the fondness blossoming between each other, but they don't. They look at each other as if their fates were conspired by thousand angels and fate herself ensured they meet.

But the supernova that took place post their meeting was too bright for anyone to see what really transpired. Angels or not, the unspoken language of attraction is still an enigma which isn't decrypted by anyone yet. Its still a mystery why she looks disappointed at the heat behind his words instead of hurt where as he looks more broken than angry.

They say too much without saying much. They realize too much after a dragged series of emotional complexities brought on by misunderstanding. It seems like the moment they turn away from each other is last, the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back but a dozen moments later, they are back on their feet, heels digging to the ground and a new era spawns around them.

It makes everything and everyone around them dizzy, a crazy spiral of emotions and contradictions but the two of them walk into this hurricane of a mess like taking a stroll in a nice park. It maddeningly spectacular and freakishly normal.

They are to be seen under slow motion - like taking apart the patterns in a kaleidoscope and ensuring the mirrors are blemish free the pieces are fixed. It isn't as much fascinating when it is clinically observed but its the only way to understand the phenomenon.

They are exactly like a kaleidoscope. Once they are observed in complete slow motion and they are taken apart millimeter by millimeter, every expression shoved under a microscope and explored in detail, every world is analyzed and over analyzed for all possible connotation...then its possible to understand the glorious relationship that they make.

Like a kaleidoscope, all their relationship needs is one small turn. A new pattern, a new puzzle, a new enigma emerges.

And we have to go through understanding their relationship all over again.

But you know what the best part is? It will be a completely different story then.

- Going to pick up speed any moment now. Till next Aphelion then!

You actually managed to explain, almost rationally, the very arbitrary interactions between Arnav and Khushi. Calling that 'Aphelion' is such a brilliant idea. It's like saying 'break ke baad' in a much more erudite way.😆

I was surprised to read Payal's perspective in #9. Usually one gets Anjali as the sibling-with-eyes, but the choice of Payal was interesting. She "pretends" to understand, and patiently waits for the storm to pass. She reminds me of the wall you bounce a ball against when you need to think. It is such an apt characterisation.

I went "Bravo!" after reading #10. But, also a little sad and worried. It's hard to fathom these two, and their immense capability and sheer willingness to hurt each other. You know it's going to gut you, but cannot help being fascinated all the same.

GTH, you are in top form.

...almost rationally! Yeah, the sum of all doesn't make a whole but holes in a whole :-)
And this also is an interlude...of sorts, I suppose.

Payal is most under utilized character and so is Akash. Anjali is fine where she is but her perspective was plain wishy-washy and one dimensional. Payal is a good listener and that is head canon as I understand.

Thanks SP.

BTW, Sandman movie is official. Thanks Ivre for sharing this news!

I have been following Heartbeat Radio & I have to say its brilliance! You are a genius! You work magic with your words! I like how your story almost seems like an amalgam of what was & what should have been in the show!

I have liked every single one of the previous chapters, but my favourite will have to be the one where Khushi tells Arnav off for making Lavanya go through a 'training' to become a perfect Raizada daughter-in-law(I still wonder what the hell the creatives were thinking when they came up with that idea-it worked well for Arnav & Khushi is highly irrelevant)! What I liked about that piece is how true it is to them in terms of how they have this ability to hurt each other & they know, exactly how to go about doing that!

But, the interlude stands in a class of its own-what you've written just makes sense, you know, with respect to Arnav-Khushi's relationship! Its a relationship that, really did depend, heavily on what was unsaid, what small minute detail they saw in each other's behaviour that nobody else did! Your comparing that to a kaleidoscope just makes sense! What I like about Heartbeat Radio is perhaps how much I love where the story is now as much as I'm curious to see where its leading! Also, each chapter is as good even as a stand-alone & each of them is enjoyable!

Stardust wasn't too bad but I guess the enchantment element of Gaiman's language was lost in adaptation. I was hoping they would make a series like Game of thrones, you know? Each volume telecast as a mini-series. Looks like it will be a movie series...

I detested Stardust. TV series or movie series, I just can't imagine Gordon-Levitt as Morpheus. Hope he's not doing it himself. We should do a dream-casting one day. I nominate Adrien Brody...there's something about his face.
