Nafisa, sorry for my tardiness in commenting… my computer crashed and had to be replaced, hence the delay.
The beginning itself is quite gripping… seems like a lover's quarrel is brewing… nice to see a feisty Khushi standing up to Arnav… In the course of their still-new marriage, she had come to the mildly amusing discovery that when angered, Arnav Singh Raizada was not above throwing tantrums – and various other unfortunate and breakable objects within reaching distance – like a little spoilt brat… that is quite droll and damn apt! His temper had been fire before – uncontrollable and volatile, liable to burn to a cinder anything reckless enough to come too close. But now...now it reminded her of smoke. It could be putrid and stifling, sweltering and unpleasant – but eventually, it would fade out, would dissipate. It was ephemeral, harmless… beautiful contrast drawn! It's almost like seeing the fire and the smoke before one's very eyes. A finger slipped beneath her chin, and goaded her to tilt her face up to him. Khushi, engrossed as she was in her rant, realised too late what was happening.
And then she'd gotten an eyeful of the look on his face, her will had fractured irreparably, and her blood-pressure had soared until her face almost caught fire… I bet Arnav used his favourite technique of silencing Khushi's rant! Endearing to note that their daily fights don't escalate into estrangement but only draw them closer by being solved through communication… a unique relationship that is beyond the understanding of mere mortals. Nice to see that each has found contentment and fulfillment thanks to this relationship. Also, touching to see the lovely relationship the sisters share, wherein the elder two enjoy pulling the younger one's leg... She really didn't think anyone would believe her if she told them that all that –that monster – had to do was pout and say 'Please' in that silken-soft timbre of his, and she'd become putty in his hands… no one can resist Arnav's husky timbre and he takes full advantage of it… looved the conclusion!
