This was the perfect time for that flashback. I could feel the magic of the moment coming off my screen and drowning in it and after the tensions of the previous chapter, it was blissful. That moment had been poignant because it had marked a beginning for them, and this moment, as he promises to try, even though he's not sure it'll work- the chance that he gives her is another beginning, and I hope for their sakes that it's a beginning of good things :) This was the most beautiful part of the update, for me, how the past and present are intertwined and you feel like you're on the verge of something wonderful happening. I'm so happy he gave her the chance, so happy Khushi is determined to erase each of his doubts. The hope she gleans from his ambivalent agreement was palpable.
I love the relationship shared between Arnav and his father. The older man has a wise head on his shoulders and I'm glad to see him being more rational than his son instead of flying into a temper as on assumes almost hereditary with the family. His keeping his cool and choosing not to judge at the heat of the moment, and valuing the relationship ArHi shares makes him an awesome dad and character in my book. His bluntness only makes me feel happier, because I feel Arnav needs someone like that in his life, to keep him grounded. I also love how in this story we get to see an Arnav who was left behind by his mother, and doesn't abhor his father. I've honestly never read an FF with this concept before, and you've done it so well and so realistically this might have been happening on screen the whole time *claps*
The last scene...sigh. Reminded me of the night of her birthday. The Arnav here too succumbs to his emotions when no one can see him- or at least, that's what he thinks. It was a beautiful, poignant, profound scene, and I'm kinda running out of adjectives here to describe how much I'm enjoying this story. Continue soon!
