Sigh...but you are doing this so well, so go on, do.
Don't rush the Yash the saviour angle yet - i may be one of the few asking for this. But Arti and her damaged psyche needs the time. Unless you are going to use Yash to unfold more of her thoughts, as you did Malti.
Why do i even bother making suggestions?? I am just rambling. You will write this as you thought it out and will do a wonderful job of it. And i will sit back, read and absorb...
Hey Kat...Your ramblings are music to me pal. Keep them coming. Suggestions are always welcome. I promise I'll do my best as to what you suggest.
Thank God Aarti is no more a kid but well into her teens, so I am breathing a little easy now. It was very difficult for me to visualize her going through all the abuses that I touched upon. If I wished, I could have been little more graphic about a couple of punishments, but I deliberately left it to the readers to guess how bad they were, considering the kind of self-loathing Aarti carries now, and concentrated on the after-effects.
As for Yash, that's a different angle I am exploring at the moment. That's why their meetings are so few and far between and incidental...just three in her fifteen plus years of life.
