First things first...sandhya take a bow. U kept the story in pace from the start till the end. It was a beautiful journey of Arshi. This story had everything. Sorrow, passion, happinss and sadness. This is a story which is worth reading again. Arnav's characterization was brilliant. I loved it. He was cute and hilarious when needed. The elder brother to everyone is still a child at heart. He puts everyone before him. At a point i had felt like he was such a poor soul. It hurts when u let your love go away...but h did it.

Khushi was just as good. Brillaint job!

Will miss reading your updates and will miss u. Please come back.

You know I kept coming back to see what I could say to this Epilogue and even today, I am lost for words

Not because I don't know what to say but because at the end, all I want to do is lean back and close my eyes with a smile because for me personally, a story well told, read with enthusiasm and completed with such dedication is one of life's biggest pleasures...

Thank you Sandhya for spinning a wonderful tale with shades of life beautifully crafted in your words

Like many others here, I wouldn't believe you if you told me today that this is your first effort at fiction. Then again, all that means is that we can all expect brilliant stories from you in the future. And I for one am already waiting. Take your break, refresh your mind and tell us another one. :D:D

Cheers to DND!

Wonderful epilogue..but dil nahin bhara yaar..Arhi shaadi ,honeymoon, baccha..may b couple of OSs??

byw loved Sanjeev Khandelwal and was imaginign Rajiv all the way..and Arnav's sarcastic remarks of not getting roles..hilarious :-) I am glad you got him back

I am heart broken but loved this line the most "Yes, I will come back after a break. Hopefully with a story you'll enjoy. Until then."

This is one of the best epilogue I have read. LOL...After eight years...Arnav is still extra possessive and jealous for Kushi 😊. He is still a teenager when matters are related to Kushi 😉. Love the way Kushi assured Arnav that she is his and he is hers. I am so happy to see Shadow in this final update.

I have started my DND journey half-way but thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every chapter and breaking my head to solve the prologue mystery. I never felt like you are a first time writer. You have developed and portrayed the plot very skillfully. I will miss you DND. 

I am already waiting for your next story. Good luck. Once again thank you so much for the wonderful story.

Why good byes are never easy???

Knowing that it is time to leave this Arnav and his Khushi 

          With Shadow Sing Raizada to welcome their dawn,

Knowing that that the arrival of a bundle of joy 

          Brought her own bundle of hopes and dreams for the future,

Knowing that a family that had faced so many setbacks and heartaches

          Have laid most of their ghosts to rest and moved on,

Knowing that Aunty and Uncle had become Amma and Baba 

          Signaling a significant bright future all around

Knowing that life does come full circle and 

          Arnav and Khushi got their forever after, and

Knowing that you will grace us with another journey 

          When the time is right and you are ready

Knowing all this it is still not easy Sandy 

          To say good bye and so long to DND

But we can be thankful...

Thankful for a journey of love

Thankful to your friends who insisted that you write

Thankful to your siblings who inspired the Raizada siblings

Thankful to your best friends who invented this 3 musketeers

Thankful to your pug that gave us Shadow is so dear to us

Thankful to your experiences that made this journey so rich and joyful

Thankful to your readers who did not give up 

...and most of all

Thankful to you for having the tenacity to complete this journey

So Sandy...

Thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts, of the past, present and future readers who had read and will read with all the emotions that you put us through...

Ok.. So this is it?!? DND is officially over?!? Although I knew this is gonna be the end, I didn't know it would be this hard to let it go.. The journey was a wonderful one even though I joined it only after more than two thirds of it was out.

You have an excellent imagination Sandhya. And your writing has a calmness in it. Even the rough scenes had a sense of calmness to it. I really dunno how to explain that feeling.

Your words are beautiful. I always love a story with good vocabulary, and this one was epic. Let it be the way you described the friendship among the three, the mutual feelings between the two protagonists, the sibling love, family ties, parental views, the heart wrenching pain of a lover, mother, daughter, son, sister, brother, grandmother.. hats off to that! Simply enjoyed every single update.

The epilogue was brilliant. The baby has indeed brought a new beginning to all. And yes, Shadow, Arnav and Khushi have definitely come a full circle. Also love the pride and the inexplicable feeling that went through Khushi and Ana while looking at Pal Pal. I could very well empathize with it, and I'm happy that it was inspired by your AD besties as I am blessed with such besties too..

And finally, thank you for making the decision of continuing your writing here. Will be waiting for it. Please do PM me whenever you write again, I will happily stalk after your first PM.. :)

Everyone got their share of happiness at last n also their soulmates...
Cupid shoot their arrows n inturn love conquered the hearts of the couples... N we got the happily ever after.
