Sorry for the late comment on chapter 4; I don't know if you prefer the blog or this CC, so I'll just write it out here.
As usual, you did not fail to disappoint. And it has become the norm after reading your updates, I'm left with wanting more, A LOT more.
It's interesting the Khushi chose to go all the way to the city to go to a lively place. I mean she already dislikes Lavanya's presence, so why would she want to go on such a long car ride when she could have easily picked a lively place somewhere in the South Bay. Could it be that her subconscious was calling her to downtown as she knew that Arnav would be there??
Arnav was waiting on the bed, as I hoped for, and the next scene did not disappoint 😳 Arnav wanting Khushi to continue pursuing her education (and I'm not talking about that Standford phd) was brilliantly penned - the man has not been shy to express his thoughts and desires, so in no way did his eagerness to teach shock me. Khushi's reaction was not what I had expected, but like I've been saying all along, she's a mere mortal - how long is she supposed to resist the charming man that is her husband?? She's obviously attracted to him, she's married to him (albeit on a temporary basis), and she's sharing the same bed - what would be her motivation to stop?? That horse ride is really going to make Arnav regret his decision now!!
I read a few comments questioning Khushi's intelligence by giving in to Arnav's charms so easily - all I can say to that is that I don't know if her intelligence can be questioned because she's consumed by a certain attraction/feelings for her husband. Yes, it might not be the wisest of choice as it might lead to heartbreak if their marriage ends and she gets emotionally attached, but the opposite could also happen; the two could give their relationship a chance. In Silicon Valley, there are so many entrepreneurs who have dropped out of college to pursue their own dreams; it might seem foolish to the majority of us, but it has paved ways for many a success. I don't know if that's an adequate analogy, but considering the backdrop of the story, it makes sense to me.
Payal and Khushi's mom finally remember to include her in their happiness, but don't they realize that they are making her feel so left out? After all she has done for them, I just hope they included her a little bit more.
NK seems very mysterious - could he be the one who tipped off investors about Khushi's resignation from Biosis? And what's up with the weird vibe Khushi is getting from both NK and Lavanya - can't wait to see how you explain that!
Sheetal was a parakeet😆 Definitely a unique way to include her in the storyline.
Coming to your chapter 5 excerpt, I'm so excited to get Arnav's point of view now. LOL at Arnav turning into a poet - I guess that's what your story has done to many of your readers here!! And like Arnav, there's only so much we can take - I for one, can't wait until the next chapter!!!
Sorry for the long comment, this story just really excites me😊
