Brilliant. More to follow.
Edit:
This story made me feel a lot in a span of 2 hours, the least time I took to finish a story, apart from one of the HP books. I think it was the first or second one, can't remember.
Firstly, arnav:
Choosing between morality and family is a huge thing. it's not easy because it involves our loved once. Only a person who has been in that position can understand the predicament of someone else who goes through it. And he did make a choice, right one, but everything in his life went wrong. All because his family members always put their family before anything. Anjali was still young when it happened but his grandma? When she knew everything, even then she blamed arnav. Just wanted to blame someone for what happened except for the person responsible who were his own parents. they decided to involve themselves with illegal and unethical stuff and they decided to end their lives when it came out, none of it was arnav's fault and yet he had to endure so much. I felt so bad for him.
Khushi:
I salute her, I truly do. After being manipulated and raped like that in her marriage, it's hard to accept one's individuality. She endured soo much at thr hands of a toxic husband who appeared great on face but was a monster within. Sadly such pyschopaths exist in the society and that's why people can't guess what's simmering beneath the happy facade. I was happy that payal understood things and took matter into her hands.
Her bua belongs to one such era where women were treated like vermin and they were supposed to be happy with it. I detest such thinking. but I understand it's deeply rooted patriarchy.
To lavanya and aman: they were the steady anchor in arnav's life. I loved that no matter what feelings came in between them, it never affected their bond. Aman took arnav as and what he was. So did lavanya. Though my heart ached for Aman, but love can't be forced.
To other supporting characters,
I loved suman's steady support towards arnav and later anjali. She stayed and made sure that they rose back from hell, if it came to that.
Anjali and arnav have a long way to come to be the siblings they were growing up. Arnav is too guarded to let Anjali in easily even though he wants the affectionate care of his di. But since Anjali has understood her mistake, the day won't be far.
If you do somethhing wrong, you deal withh the consequences. That's what happened with the jhas and senior raizadas. You can't live in peace if you are minting money at cost of someone's blood. Each got what they deserved.
To arnav and khushi, I am happy that they are taking slow steps in their relationship. They are both scarred individuals and it'll take a long time before they have a proper relationship but they'll eventually reach there.
You're a brilliant story teller. Are you a writer by profession? Or a literature student? I was looking to read something angsty and this was the perfect one. Thanks for writing🙂
