Thank you for the lo...o...ovely chapter...so in love with it. Arnav Singh Raizada in his element...more than a little in love with him...whether Khushi is or not. 😆 He has an innate ability to get under your skin and inspire confidences. Such a man is definitely not just hard to find, but a keeper if anyone ever was! Enjoyed reading the way he manages to get his way, subtly, slowly...at times using the kids to make a point, at times asking her about NK...Khushi's insecurities are all too apparent...and I reckon not entirely in her head either...she realizes, and perhaps rightly so, that any tryst she may choose to have with Arnav will affect a lot of lives and relationships...hers and Manorama's is just one of those. Will she give herself the freedom to fall in love and fight for that love too this time around? I dare say she will. She will probably have no choice if ASR has his way! Cannot wait now for the lovely walk to the riverbank. 

Also loved the fact that you gave us Sumitra's perspective...in many ways she is the objective narrator in this whole scenario...er, did I say objective? Perhaps not! She is Arnav's grandmother and so is definitely invested in seeking his happiness...but like the reader...her mind does a happy dance every time she sees him and Khushi move one step forward...so in many ways she is probably the one that will push this relationship forward and give it the official seal of approval when the time is right...wonderful...I could go on and on...this story brings with it a spring in the stride and a gladness of the heart that few stories can claim to do. Thank you for that. I hope you will give us another momentous chapter soonish...until then shall re-read 'Secret Alchemies' ...truly one of the best to date in this journey of love and discovery! Love it!

Best,

loved the convo at the breakfast..

its very tough to move on but time heals every pain and for khushi this time with arnav is much needed..

felt bad for a moment for khushi when manorama left in spite of her request, and khushi left with her insecurities..but i know this is much needed..

loved d way arnav understood her fears and succeeded in bringing her back to herself..its very big step for both khushi and arnav..

sumitra is such a wonderful lady..just a look at her grandson and she knew there's something big to come and she did found it too..

loved the last scene when the two elders moving together followed by the lil ones..i know long way for that to happen..😊

lovveddd it🤗

An amazing update. Is khushi feeling guilty for not telling her Amma about Arnav. It seems that she wanted to tell her about Arnav, but holding back due to their tradition or their cultural belief. 

Irespective of her insecurities or whatever Khushi is feeling, the way she find solace in Arnav is amazing. 

I can see Sumitra playing Cupid in the absence of the other two ladies and she will find a way to convince the other ladies to take part in playing Cupid too. 

PS - I specially liked the 'move on' piece in this chapter...Khushi's words ring true for everyone. One cant just move on like its a book you have finished reading. One has to spend time with the past, dwell on it and heal oneself and then move forward with that past deep inside their heart but not paining as much as it does at the moment...

Manorama and Sumitra are intuitive and understanding..they feel that change is essential and is all for the good.

Mohan and Meera are becoming very close ...And your writing never tires me and always leaves with wanting me more..:)
