Interesting isn't it.. Time away from your day job a new setting helps people get more real!

Manny and Ranjan talking straight. Paavam manny she is missing her Ma - as someone who can be that bit of sanity that you need when things around you are crumbling or that magical being who puts your well being above everything in life and somehow guides you out of the woods and mends a broken heart.

Dude strongly sides his Sister. Wonder if that comes from real understanding or more for Ranjan.

It's interesting to see 2 women closest to dude - his Wife who jumped into marriage because she could not simply let go of him working her way to strength and changing him in ways he never thought he could by doing nothing other than showing how much he matters to her! And Manny; we don't know much about who finds it difficult to trust and move forward. Given II's upbringing a broken engagement must have been as tough as a troubled marriage for Manny. But II has managed to keep her faith and take HUGE risk by following her heart and Manny is still figuring out probably because she is spending too little time with herself trying to know what she wants and then go for it. A PhD, all the travel and the guys and tough talk would be her paradise if she really wanted that! Just like dudes 15 were before he knew what he was missing with II. I believe he takes his marriage a little more seriously for the sheer distance he has covered from being a vagabond to man who misses his wife and reads her mind after never ever thinking of marriage! And managing to sweep her off her feet enough to get her to be Mom wit.hout her knowing of it! 😉

Good work Nisha 👏

As a reader I have felt that many times in an update there are some moments where actions and not words speak a lot more than and it is for the reader to interpret those actions.

The recent one was the force at which the dude hurled the ball bk knocking a vase when Manny derided herself on her single status and life style .For II and Ranjanji as an onlooker it was just a moment of mishap during ball play. But I was not able to make up my mind if it was dude feeling helpless about the situation his sister is in , wanting somehow that things work for her like how it has for him with II or if it was plain irritation and frustration at Manny playing the sympathetic card as at that moment she wanted to know from her brother as to when II and Ranjan are returning to India
Nice moment of the sharp camaraderie between the brother and sister . When she asked him will he answer in more than two words and he responded in one word then. Manny was sharp to notice that .

Anyway I am veering off from my topic, so I was not able to decide which way to interpret the force behind the hurling of the ball but I did after reading this update which had the dude's unconditional support for his sister.
And... And II got rewarded the same night she decided and tried to heed to the advice of her Amma. II asked Manny out for a family outing and got rewarded with Manny ordering a take away b😲ox of ' Mita 'for her.
Not to say that this is a permanent thaw in relations but good enough for now to me. Her guard down Manny is able to discuss her situation in front of family that includes II now. A moment made for II When She looks back at this evening/night down the memory lane that will leave a smile on her lips for sure.

After a couple of updates in la la land an update that easily switched over from being casually light to discussions forming a bride to /between relationships.
👏
