Dear Imad,
Please join us this evening for tea. The monsoon rains really make for a pleasant evening on the patio and Chachu, Mamaji, Akash and I would love to have some male company in this queendom. NK is a traitor who keeps female company all day anyway. Just, please join us. I would like it very much if you obliged.
P.S. I feel the need to warn you beforehand, your Darya is working on a "Rain Dance Party" with the children of the palace staff. She might drag you into it, resistance may (actually will) be futile. Bring an extra change of clothes.
Sincerely,
Arnav Singh Raizada
The BEST LETTER EVER! So ASR, Mary!!! OMG! I want to frame it! The NK part was just...🤣 "Resistance (actually will) be futile"--Are you a Star Trek-The Next Generation fan, Mary!? I loved the BORG!! 😆 Arnav has that affect on ppl (particularly his wife) wherein he can just "assimilate" them with his words...LOL! "Bring a change of clothes"--knowing his wife, a thorough drenching is more than possible & while your at it, bring a few extra sets of clothes!😆
Before I get into the Rain Dance Party scene, can I just say how wonderful it was that you included all the characters who are so dear to this show in it? LOVED everyone! Khushi as always the child among all the children...After talks of flu, Chamak Challo, LG's (the drenched "kill joy"😆) garden dance floor debut, and a few moves later, we reached that most beautiful moment in the garden, in the shadow of that most rapturous song...Ore Piya...I won't even attempt to describe this scene because that will just take away from how you've penned it...Enraptured in every bit of it...Khushi and the Nawab integral in bringing Imad-Anjali into the "dance of love." No inhibitions...nothing demanded, nothing returned, if that was truly what the heart felt...But in the end, triumph...away from the past, and into a new beginning...those tears in Arnav's eyes for his di tlly justified and finally of joy!
One of your best scenes in all the stories thus far has to be the Dadu-Ziyad-Naniji scene on the patio...Finally, solace for a man who had given up on his love all those decades ago. Anjali's turn at love brought him a sense of completion...What a truly selfless man, Mary! I also loved that Naniji offered him the ultimate compliment--that her daughter would be proud of what he had become...and that he could now release himself from any guilt that was consuming him about what he did to Ashleesha...I also thought it was poignant that of all people, Arnav came to get him for dinner...Just goes to show how much he really cared!
Ah, the wedding...the pics of the outfits were such treats for sore eyes! Resplendent and beautiful...The "LG for now" convo was a highlight!😆 The family complete when Imad asked for and took Anisha in his arms...Imad pointedly questioning Anjali abt her thoughts on him & Indian attire--very cute! That last sentence...pitch perfect...Darya aka Khushi with her khushi...her Prince...captured picture perfect! Doesn't get any better than that!😊
As you can sense from my words, I have A HUGE SMILE on my face as I write this comment, Mary! It is a bittersweet moment for me since I've been with you on this journey since the beginning. I am still dumbstruck that you dedicated that first chapter to me...I will forever cherish that! Your hard work and dedication to this series is nothing short of remarkable! As I have said before, you have a gift, and may you always "live, love and and say it well in good sentences"! Keep it up, my friend! Cheers & Thank you!😊
