This update had in it the unfurling of so many hearts. A sharing of fears, of insecurities, with Arnav having the heart to bear it all. To comfort, to assuage, to absorb.
You've shown Khushi go through a whole array of emotions. I loved this line "She looked for regret within, instead found lightness in her being." And that lightness is so beautifully brought out by you. It fills me with joy reading it :) As for the the "aankhein bolti hain" conversation they had, and the palat ... swoon.
Mirabell, her near melt down was really well written. Each fearful thought crossing her mind laid bare to the reader to feel. Living it with her.
I simply adore Meera. The way she tells Arnav that it's okay to not miss his parents, shows the deep empathy and compassion she carries within her. This desire to not hurt the feelings of others even while grappling with your own pain is not something most adults can do leave alone an almost nine year old.
Mohan's giggle indeed was a wish fulfilled for his father. The "silliness" he so wanted his child to indulge in. Mohan's innocent but immense faith in his father to be able to fix things was heartwarming. The relationship they share again evident in that "fix it" being both a command and matter of fact.
Naniji is a wonderful lady. That ability to know when to push and when to step back is not to be scoffed at. That tender hand stroking Arnav's head ... one can never be too old for that touch to soothe.
And now lamba intezaar :(
