I am happy you are continuing it 😊

Howdy, I am happy you have dropped in again then. 😊I never stopped working on it. Like most writers, I just have a variety of ongoing stories all at once, and this one needed massive rewrites in some places, and there are upcoming chapters that still do. Ah, well. Hopefully it will not be too different from what you remember over all. Happy (re)reading😳

Prol.

The use of imagery is so vivid that one can easily imagine every scene as it draws you in. You feel every agonizing moment of Yash as he pushes the boundaries just a bit more in his bid to feel closer to Arpita. And curiously, when he is in his senses, he is aware of the effect it has on his family. He does not like putting them through so much angst, but at the same time he is not ready or willing to let go. But after this last episode, he is at least willing to step in the direction of moving on for his family's sake.

But you have given great insight into not only Yash's psyche, but also how it affects those around him. Why would the news report have such effect on him, make him want to bury deeper into his agony? It is because it symbolizes the present, lets him know that life has moved on without her, and that it is demanding him to do the same. That he has to know about the happenings of a world in which she does not exist.

That's why he clings all the more tighter to the frame even when his fingers are numb, he does not let go. The smiling picture makes him want to be a part of that frame, be in that time with her, in their happy moments. But he is unable to, so he grabs it tighter causing him to bleed. But it's nothing new, just the manifestation of his bleeding heart. He feels pain, whatever he does, he is in agony because the one thing that will remove that pain, he cannot have. He has to cause himself pain to hang on to reality by clenching his jaw, just like he has pierced his palms holding onto the frame, in his desperation to be with his love.

His family should have gotten rid of those pictures long ago IMO. But he did lose the woman he loved, and each person grieves differently. There is no timeline for it after all. Except when it results in the episodes Yash has that can lead to self-harm. It cannot be easy to watch a loved one undergo such agony. But at the moment Yash has no reason to move on from it; a part of him must feel that no one in his family can really understand what he feels because none of them went through the same. And this is where Aarti will be vital.

Ch. 1

Aarti is a picture of despair. Those first lines before reading her intent are so heartbreaking. She is so wholly lost to the world around her, unaware of even her dupatta twirling in the wind to beckon her back to life. No. she is already dead, just like her lank hair that not even the wind can bring back to life. And of course the world judges, satisfied that her condition is legit, uncaring about her state. And those willing to look a little closer, unwilling to be drawn into that picture of darkness. So any hope she might have of anyone showing her the beautiful side to life is lost as she walks into the water, wading deeper until she can't anymore.

What would drive a woman to the point of ending her life precisely when another is growing inside her? Initially she feels relieved as she becomes weightless in the depths of the water, sinking deeper much like her pain was sinking her deeper into misery. And the clouds above represented what she wanted, not death, no, but to get out of the pit of pain and exist in the light. To not be drowned under a storm, but to float above the clouds instead.

And only as death began to claw stronger did she realize that she did not want it. Only then does she realize that whilst she has every reason to want it, she has one very crucial reason to cling to life: her baby. Only here does one realize that she was so far removed from everything good, pulled deeper into despair that she forgot she had a life to safeguard. And when she is reminded of it, she cannot do anything about it. Her own clothes tangle her up and weigh her down, she is strangled by her mangalsutra, much like the suffocating pain from the bond she wanted to escape. And she feels herself drowning with no means of escape.

Ch. 2

So Yash is finally taking that one crucial step to let his love rest in peace by immersing her ashes; it is not just any old place either, but one that she loved, where they had wonderful moments. And once again, he gets pulled into that world, imagining her touch on his lips. But he is able to shake it off and remain in the present, and without pain to himself. And unlike before when he wanted to escape his surroundings, and exist in an abyss pulling him deeper into his world of agony; now he can fully take in everything around him.

Now he can sense that everything as tranquil as it seems, the rippling at the far off spot beckons to him, makes him want to investigate the source. And without a second thought he plunges into the depths of the river, having perhaps for the first time in a long time, a purpose. And in saving this one life, he feels like he is afforded a second chance to save her, "I won't fail you." His whole body screams protests at these grave task which could very well cause him his whole life, but this time he is determined to succeed. To pull her out of the mud alongside himself, to emerge victorious.

In my view their journey starts at that precise moment when in a sense they bring each other back to life. He, in giving her a second chance at life to live for the baby growing inside her, and she, in giving him the chance to save her, and making him see the colors of life he refused to see in so long. Just like the murky water from which they emerged, a lot is still unclear. But just like they swam to shore, and ended on dry land, they will get pass the murk. They might suffocate in its depths, and as they steadily reach the surface, they might stumble, but together they will reach dry land on which they will form a steady foundation. And the beautiful colors of life will dance around them, making their hearts light, and pain free. Well, that's how I see their journey, (Sorry for the dramatics).

And Kittya, thanks once more for choosing to continue this beautiful story of heartbreak, and healing, and of course love.

Hi I just read the new updates loved them felt the familiarity to what I remembered about this ff the first time I had read it

So we start off with Aarti's dream, or is it? How curious that whilst hanging between life and death, she recollects the concern of in-laws who loved her like a daughter, and how that thread got snapped. A bomb destroys everything in its path, it may be tiny, but the effects are grave. And for Aarti, losing her in-laws is no less... She lost the only source of security, the only true home she ever had.

I am glad you liked them, and relieved that the most important parts still feel familiar even with new additions. Thanks for reading!

My apologies for the delay. I have been 1) chugging along with my broken laptop, 2) not feeling very well mentally, which impacted 3) having difficulties trusting myself with my writing--which made it difficult to even review old chapters for posting. Thankfully the funk is broken, and I even spawned a new chapter. One I have come to like.
