I love the inner thoughts of these characters in this chapter. You gave us more of a glimpse into their minds, including Mohan and Meera. Mohan' thought process was so adorable! I felt myself smiling whenever I read his name. He thinks so... Logically. There are no grey areas, only black and white. There is something about his blunt thought process that is so refreshing- that's true of most children, isn't it? There's an innocence there, a naivety that they lose as they grow older. But mohan hasn't, and that endears him to me even further.

Meera's thought process is such a contrast to his- she's mature beyond her years, aged by the death of her father. She knows consequences, she knows that not everything is always clear cut, just as she reveals when she asks Arnav that question. But yet... she still has that innocence. She wants to believe that everything will be okay, and I love that about her. The sobs that appear when she realizes Arnav is leaving... Uff, I just wanted to pull her into my arms and wipe all of that sadness away.


I loved the children and Nani the most in this chapter- I liked Nani's gentle probing, that curiosity that every person seems to have but is amplified in the elderly, tinged by wisdom. But I also loved Khushi revealing her vulnerabilities- she's such a fortress, she tries to be so strong and it was heartbreaking and amazing to see her showing Arnav that. He can understand, and at some point... I hope she'll realize that her insecurities won't drive him away, but will make him more determined to be her salve.

Really well done- as always :)

Love always,

This update for me had bittersweet moments, all of them perfectly timed with the right amount of emotions that you get lost in the moment, every word had me captivated.

After a long absence , resing
___________________
 
Two people who are trying to hide and contain happiness and with as much success as trying and holding water with your fingers.  
 
A child who wants to create new memories still hanging on to old memories.
 
Another child whose always unadulterated feelings showing concern about his friend being sad.
 
A woman who trained her mind to see the good in everything and anything.
 
A chapter with all those people and Mira's magical touch does make everything look crisper and cleaner😃. And no points for guessing how I slept last night😉.
 
If the last chapter was about passion then I would call this chapter as a happy side effect of that😊. Yes, as you so eloquently said without saying that true happiness is not about the big events of life but the daily innumerable little things that happen around us. Feeling like you want, eating the food you like, being with the people you like, being at a place you like. And also, it is so surprisingly hidden in odd places, quiet corners and for me, usually a foregone conclusion especially after a night where heart gets what it desires, never minding the mind warnings😃.
 
The other thing I liked about the last few chapters is that the adults of the household aka Sumitra and Manorama are slowly getting involved in knowing of Arshi. Knowing the concern, respect and admiration they have for Arshi, I don't foresee any "adult problems". But it is so interesting that they all equate being cared for and caring for someone else on such equal terms, it probably explains some of the Khushi's reluctance or hesitation on leaving something behind and gaining something new.   
 
I guess I want to make up for missing the last chapter comments and want to probably go on for forever about this story, but I will keep this short in the interest of readers.  But, as my parting request, now that the lips and tongues are reacquainted, please make sure the proximity and meetings between them are on and more often😉.
