Epilogue
Part 1:
Aadrita is a beautiful name; the girl has been rightfully named with her being the apple of everyone's eye in her family. But before I talk more about her, I'll go to the beginning of the chapter...
I liked the way you opened the epilogue; Seduction has always had the sense of mystique and mystery in it and it was seen in the newspaper article as well. The newspaper might not have had any success in its speculations but I think the party marks the celebration of restorement of normalcy and happiness in the lives of Raizadas and the extended family; after all for everyone, things are looking great, both on the professional and the personal front.
Back to Aadrita. I loved how you showed things through her perspective; may it be the values instilled into her by Khushi, her thoughts about her mother as also the understanding that she possess, being a seven year old girl. It added a different layer altogether to the chapter and I'm glad you provided the girl a greater space.
It was heartening to know Anjali have a life partner not just for namesake but one who truly fulfils the meaning that the termination adjoins to itself. that said, I wonder how she could have been able to stay without satisfying the curiosity regarding Khushi. Also the fact about Aadrita; something tells me that the change in her behavior had everything to do with the breaking of the curse.
From the fight against fate that Arnav and Khushi had have to undergo to their current state of blessitude, only because the two would never give up on their love is so stirring. It was a poignant moment when Arnav ran his hand through Khushi's abdomen, as also the part whenh both their gazes were diverted towards the blue room...
For a change, I shall say that being someone who gets exasperated (the blame goes to you) by your cliffhangers, I don't mind one for today. If it is a cause for delaying the end of seduction, we shall gladly accept one.😊
Part 2:
I love for a fact that you made Aadrita the heroine of the second part of the epilogue. For me she was the perfect mix of the attributes her parents possessed. Fortitude, the underlying determination, the fearlessness, her efforts to make her father not have to continue suffering from the inevitable separation and then the ultimate risk she undertook.
Of course it was innocence which was supposed to overcome the curse, but we never did focus on the part wherein 'dare' was concerned. And while the child had no idea about the solution, it was just the sheer endeavor that did the difference; another evidence of the innocence playing a major factor.
With the painting gone, the Raizadas have nothing to clutch them towards the entrapment of a hundred years, and we have a happy ending.
For someone who is not a fan of the genre, your indulgement in writing a story on those lines never did gave a whiff of it.
Bring on the next tale already!
