Aaww Choti, I have just read the last two chapters together. First the previous chapter, the scene where Sakhshi was thinking about Anjali, how different the house was, I suspect that all parents and siblings go through that, but Khushi tried to tell her in a very round about type of way that she would stay here with Arnav, thank goodness she didn't pick up on the hints... or did she? The breakup or meeting at the perimeter of their feelings before the put those fences up was so heartfelt, especially as she walked away and he said those three words that all women want to hear from that person that is embedded in their own hearts 😭
the second update was even more heartbreaking, as Arnav doesnt understand her point of view, how she feels about the angrez, her own family getting caught up in a skirmish and paying with their lives. A common place event that affected many. Many of the brits that were out there were not even middle class, but conscripted soldiers who felt that they were gods and abused that authority. When Arnav goes back to england he will still be fighting for equality, it wasnt up until the late nineteen nineties here that equality came to the uk, not just for immigrants but women too. I think Arnav needs to see the reality of a skirmish, even though he can speak english with a fairly good accent, he will still be treated like the common man on the streets. Then he will see what Khushi understands. Hopefully before khushi gets married.
What by the way is he asking of her? She has to leave a beautiful 3/4bedrom house with garden, access to fresh foods on her doorstep, for a two bedroomed flat, probably eith an outhouse in the cold outside.. urr wake up Arnav the streets on london/england are covered with crap not gold, believe me i know having lived in London for the first 24 years of my life
Choti as always a very impressive story, and your writing is phenomenal!
👏
