Hey Jigs...How is it going?
Firstly, I'm so sorry...for the prolonged absence and lack of comments. AD has been quite hectic and I've just been sleeping in all the free time I get. π³
I have just caught up with the updates properly. They have been a couple of really emotional chapters.
Coming to the updates, if I haven't said it enough, I love the relationship Arnav-Khushi share with Aman-Lavanya and the boys. They're like family. Always there in time of need - good times and bad ones, too.
I understand Khushi's avoidance of confrontation. I guess she wants to close herself off to any more pain and hurt or finding out that her hopes were baseless. She feels she has already lost Arnav emotionally and the physical and legal separation is just going to seal the deal. And, that is what she fears most I believe.
I hope she goes with her heart and gives their marriage and Arnav another chance.
Initially I had thought that the baby issue is one of, if not the major cause of the rift between them. Personally, I don't think a child is what makes, sustains or breaks a marriage. Here too, I guess that is not THE issue. The main issue is failure to communicate properly, I think. Emotional distance and lack of communication have amplified all the problems in their life.
Your description of their pain and grief is heart-wrenching. π I know that they know in their heart that the only way to get through this is together. I just hope they act on that and begin with facing their demons, as Khushi puts it.
Wonderful writing as always, Jigs! π Looking forward to the next update. Hope to be around more henceforth.
