Tell me about it those two beautiful souls had a really bad experience with the opposite sex but i know that they will help each other heal even and their journey gonna be as beautiful as their soul 😉

I'm very happy that you took that leap of faith my friend 🤗

How can I forget that you were right there behind me to give the affectionate nudge when I hesitated to take a step forward. This might seem very little Zet...but it's huge for me. You and some others from DC believed in me and that belief made me discover this happiness...that I can write a story. I would never have known the satisfaction I get while taking a story forward. This pleasure would have been lost to me.

Thanks for being there...always...unfailingly. Love you.🤗

Thank you so much for your unrelenting (and very biased😳) support.

Do you really discuss the story with your friends? What do they say? Any suggestions?

No biased support.. I'm just being utmost honest.😳
and yes I do discuss the story with my friends and mum (especially mum).. That day we (me and mum) went out and we were talking about this fantastic book called 'Ugly" and then I discussed your story with her about aarti's past and she was stunned. I showed her your work and she was like is this a true story. The reaction is the same with whoever I discuss or show your work to. They all think it's real because of the depth of pain and I have to convince them it isn't. They were so intrigued with aarti's past that some of them even ask me for updates. Mum says you're really talented and have an impeccable way with words (I'll say I told you so)😆. However mummy is a little confused as during Malti's wedding, Aarti said that she'll not let love come near her and that she won't surrender even if she falls in love but in her diary it seems that she wants someone to love her... So is she open to the idea of someone loving her or isn't she? Does she want to be rescued or is she complaisant with her current life with her naanimaasi? These are her questions.



Thanks Sheema...and please convey my gratitude to your mother and friends.

As for your ma's query, I'll try my best to answer it. First, let me again quote the lines from that poem:

A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls.

The nearer you approach me...the blinder I may strike back.

I fight against the very thing I want as my defender,

I fight against surrender.

I am told that love is stronger than strong walls...and in this lies my hope.

And if I know myself...I will fight against even that hope.

The above lines contradict what she says to Malti about never allowing herself to fall in love because she feels she is not worthy enough... yet not. The lines I have highlighted in green clearly shows the turmoil she had in her. She believes she will fight love if it ever enters her life (because she feels she is not good enough for anyone), yet somewhere she wants that love to fight for both of them...to fight her against her low self-esteem. This is what she tells Malti: "Everyone I love leaves me and goes away. I make people go away...and I think

that is for the best that they do. Given this fact, do you think I would even allow myself to let love come near me? ...Even if I fall in love, I can never surrender myself...samarpan to someone is not in my fate, Di. I won't be a curse to anyone's life, especially if he is one I happen to love. It will be too selfish of me if I do."

See, she is scared of two things: One that she makes people she loves go away...(this will later change slowly as she will realize that naanimaasi and the Browns are there to stay in her life). Second, she really believes she is a curse and that bad things happen to people close to her. She will fight love when she recognizes, not for herself, but for him (The nearer you approach me...the blinder I may strike back.) Yet she has heard that love has the power to break the walls that she has deemed her fate...and she wants that man to break those walls as much as she wants Malti's assurance that what she believes is not true.

Sheema, the insecure and lonely Aarti was living a parallel life those days: One in the real world, and the other in her writings, where she jotted down her fears and pain and beliefs and hopes . We can equate it somewhat to the parallel lives we lead with our real and virtual lives...Your ma is real, and I am your virtual friend. There are things you share with me that you may not be sharing with your ma or friends...am I right? I am to you what the journals were to Aarti.

Yash's main task will be to assure her that he won't leave her...ever. In a way that will be Yash's test that she will be putting him through unintentionally: to make her realize and accept her feelings for him and to give her the confidence to move on. He needs to point out to her that people don't go away from her, cause if that were so how is it that he kept coming back in her life (of course, all that is much later). Recall how she wraps up her finger around his kurta while sleeping so that he doesn't leave her whenever she is insecure...and that too after 12+ years of marriage. That fear hadn't left her completely...He is her fear and he is her hope...it's that simple. Aarti has to recognize her hope...something Malti too tells her to : "He is waiting out there...waiting for the divine signal that will bring him in front of you, so that he can give you all the happiness that you deserve. At that point your heart should be able to recognize your soul mate. It might scare you a little, but take that leap of faith...trust him. Don't lose yourself so far away that when it comes to giving yourself to him you won't be able to find yourself.

I hope I was able to make myself understood. 😳

Will comment Part 12 once I read!! 😃

~~~~~ EDITS ~~~~~

Nice update Indu ji... 👏👏 Loved the way you wrote it.. ⭐️

I must say... their meeting was actually a dreamy one!! It seems Aarti recognized him through his voice and sexy eyes.. 😆😳 I can understand what Yash dilemma was... 😉 And Payal.. my god!! So cute father-daughter conversation!! 😳

WTH?? 😡 What is Mr. Singhania doing to her?? 😡 Nahh... Our boy is exactly there!! 😉

Excited for next!! 😃 Thanks for the PM!! 😃

Thanks Isya.😊

Aarti did recognize him by his voice and eyes...what was more important was that she had taken note of these attributes of Yash. This can only mean that somewhere Yash too had left an impression on her...it's just that she too naive, too unworldly, too innocent to recognize what had happened.

Congrats on the new hread Indu.

Fantastic update. I loved how Payal made Yash's decision to stay back so easy just by her innocent words. Really liked the Yash and Aarti interactions as well. Looking forward to what is in store next for these two as their journey continues.

Thank you, Saf.😊

Yeah, sometimes kids do hit upon the right solution with their innocence. For three years, these two have been each other's world...so, it was natural for Yash to voice his confusion and she to give him some solution. Kids love to be the parent to their parent, especially if they have single parents.

Holy goodness Indu.. Your answer was so comprehensive. I showed it to mum and she said she could feel that aarti's apprehension towards love but at the same time she hoped for it.. She also says now she has a much better understanding of aarti's turmoil and insecurities and yes she says thanks a lot for spending so much time explaining😆. She feels really bad to have taken so much of your time with her queries and yes I got a fair share of scolding.😆😆 don't worry it wasn't anything because don't ask me why mummy's scolding makes me laugh and she gets angrier and I laugh louderbut yes thank you again indu..😃

Aha Angel...what a pleasant surprise and absolute delight to have your comment in the initial stage of posting of a chapter. I have missed your opinions. Thank God I was able to hold you back to complete the read and opine impromptu. It resulted in my gain.😃

Yash and Mr Darcy!!! Hmm...interesting. Why do you say that? Because like Darcy Yash too has hidden something from his lady, or are you referring to Darcy's prejudice and his sense of superiority that led him to separate his friend Bingley from Jane? I have a feeling you refer to the latter...simply because if you look at it from Aarti's point of view, Yash does come across as somewhat condescending toward her character...as if he has the right to hold a view concerning her till she proves him wrong. Yes that's it? That's what you mean I'm sure...and you are spot on.


Wow! You got me! I was feeling this vibe in regard to Arti that she felt he was judging her every move as if she was some fragile thing who cannot take care of herself! Being self reliant and being co dependent are two different things!

Sameer's character may have it's own significance in the coming days. The cad might just be the proverbial spoke in the wheel, who knows? Haven't given it much thought.


Hmm! Okay I'll read what you come up with in this story in regards to Arti and Yash evolution in their relationship!

I love your description of Aarti...just love it. She is such a gentle spirit, isn't she? In spite of the tough hand life dealt her.

I guess that was the single thought that held me to read it with such wonder!

As for your suggestion regarding DC, I feel it won't be appropriate Angel...This is a fiction...purely a leisure time read; and over there in DC we deal with the show-related stuff.😊

Okay enough said!😆 Just that I wanted more readers for you so sorry for being selfish in this regards!😳😆But I think you are right in this regard!
