It's a cliche I know, but a picture does indeed speak a thousand words. His image of his happy Khushi so at odds with the reality he's seen when he's stopped to actually see her. Kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hain... but I'm very happy to see Arnav realising that losing Khushi is not an option. I love the visual image you've conjured up for us. His artistic, creative soul yearning to bring the portrait to life.

Memories of happier times juxtaposed with the present bring home the change even more painfully. Khushi walks in to the house and is surprised at the sound of laughter, where once it had been a given. A norm and not an aberration. A hug which was once demanded and given now just something both want but can't or rather won't act on. But then you gave us her leaning against him with that flow of affection ... just so tenderly heartwarming to see. I'm right there with Aman at feeling bad about interrupting that moment of connection.

And then the scene of him looking at her as she looks at her picture ... so poignantly moving. You can quite literally feel the unfurling of something in her as a ray of sunshine peeks in, nudging away the darkness. A Nebulous Yearning for things to be okay once again.

"If only his colored pencils had the magic to make his wife's life instantly brighter again. Filling it with the happiness she deserved. And erasing the pain she kept buried inside of her."

That is my favorite line. It is beautifully written, such a stunning metaphor for this situation. It's as if this is all happening in black and white, and this line made me feel as if he slowlys tarted filling the color in, making it stronger, more vibrant. Ah, I just loved it. Love love loved it!

Arnav realizing that he knows so little about her anymore was so well done. It's like this distance creeps in without them realizing it, and it just floods through you all of a sudden. The strength in Aman and Arnav's friendship is so visible right there, when he reaches out and puts his hand on Arnav's. It's such a subtle reassurance, and you can feel how much Aman wants the best for both of them- not just Arnav. I love how close he is to Khushi, how he immediately walks over and pulls her into a hug. He just understands her as a close friend would. You carry it through the update- in the flashback, in the way he glances over at them and sees the ice melting and takes a step back with a smile, in the way he helps Arnav make the lasagna...

Ah, Aman- never getting married, eh? 😆 So much for that happening. That flashback was as warm as the lasagna (which, by the way, I'm craving now, thanks to you). There was something in that kiss that stood out to me. It's a kiss of two people who are deeply in love with each other, have that sense of comfort- despite the fact that they've only been dating for a short while.

It speaks volumes to what their connection was like, and it's something that you can still see glimmers of even in present day, when it seems lost- but isn't. That moment where their eyes meet made my breath hitch. That connection was fleeting, but so potent- really, really well written, Di.

Oh, oh, oh- that ending. Sigh. It was stunning, absolutely stunning. Right from when she finds the picture, to when she reaches out and he completes the hug... completing them. It was beautiful, Di. It warmed me through, gave me hope for them- that glimmer is much, much stronger here. If I thought it was potent up there... uff. It was just stunning.

I loved it, just like I love you :*

Love always,

Choti :)

This update is definitely one of the lightest chapter of Revealed journey. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and craving to eat lasagna ASAP.

Cooking, setting up table for diner and dishes everything is very domestic and really wish Arnav cooks and feeds Kushi for many more nights and years to come. Really liked how you showed glimpses of their past happy memories connected to present moments. I love Arnav, Aman and Kushi camaraderie.

Is it really possible get lost in career and work so much that one forgets about home and wife? Coming to children why do I have this nagging feeling that Kushi miscarriage was not even known to Arnav. I am sure they both must have discussed about kids in last ten years and made plans. Good to see that Arnav is trying hard to bring out that thousand volt smile on his wife's face. Eagerly waiting to read more about their past and meet the parents (in-laws) trip.

Finally Kushi sketch from the skilled fingers of Arnav. Just love it damn it.

Gazing a starry night sky, sitting on a beach watching the ocean, sitting in the clouds and watching a still earth - there are some moments where you want to freeze the time and be there forever. If ever there was a way to freeze the story, then that would be now at this chapter and this point of time. I know time is never kind but only if time would know, my wishing will never end either😉.

The lovey dovey feelings, the soft touches, the brushing of the fingers and falling in love for the second time and that too with the same person - just priceless. And you my dear are beyond priceless for conjuring all this and presenting it with you magical touch.

All this time I was under the impression that Arnav is trying and Khushi is the hard nut to crack. But, taking a step back, I am just realizing that Khushi, for all the gloom and doom thoughts, is more than grabbing the chances she is getting her way. That for me makes her more than a million bucks right now😃.

I liked the Arnav's summary of thoughts and just like a man in a desert, even a glimmer of an oasis is worthy of a shot. He sure seems to be taking all the chances he gets or should I say creating all the chances he should get😛. Good for him that he realized that unlike the first time, he cannot take a short cut to Khushi's heart this time.

The bromance had a kind of manly cuteness to it (can I say that?😕). But, there is no doubt who is being the big bro for now. Aman is being the perfect wingman any bro can ask for and any amount of my statements would still understate what he has been so far for Arnav. A good friend knows when to step in but a great friend also knows when to step out😉.

Ma's lasagna - it may be the way you have built it up but somehow I felt like I smelled it. I will go a bit filmi style and say "naam hee kafi hai"👍🏼. Would it be considered too much if I ask for the recipe😳.

If lasagna is what it takes, what the hell was Arnav doing all this time😡. A double dose of the lasagna episodes is what we needed and whoever said the path to a man's heart is though his stomach, I guess never met people like Khushi😃. History always teaches a lesson for those who want to learn and I am so glad Arnav is digging deeper into his past to preserve his future.

For all the doodling that Arnav did at office and forgot Khushi all these years, who ever thought that some of the same doodling will end up with a sketch of Khushi that conveyed a lot more than any number of words of actions could have said. As they say, if you look harder, you can always find things where you lost them😉. The felice on the bellissima face was totally ne vale la pena (please pardon my Italian😆)

I will rest easy into the night knowing that the time is frozen until next Tuesday now😃. And maybe I can dream about the future now? Oh wait - why am I seeing a meetha session in the next chapter? Wait again - is this a dream or real? Damn it, why am I even caring? Time is frozen for me for now anyway😎.

Res

Thanks Jay. Phew!! Just made it back in time.

*****************************************************************

Jigs, another beautifully written update. And thank you for giving us updates every week even with your busy schedule.

If only his colored pencils had the magic to make his wife's life instantly brighter again. Filling it with the happiness she deserved. And erasing the pain she kept buried inside of her.

Such a beautiful sentence Jigs. I could literally imagine Arnav sprinkling some color sparkles into Khushi's life to bring some happiness, joy and vibrance back into her life.

The other thing which keeps bothering me is "was loneliness the only factory which led to Khushi to what she is today?"

The flashback incident brought out the bitter reality of today's sad situation more. Where is that happy color filled Khushi today??? It feels like today only her ghost is existing whereas she has left herself somewhere behind in time.

"Mein chod aayi khudh ko jahaan par,

woh rehgaya mod peeche"

Aman and Arnav's friendship is always so pleasant to read. LOL Aman did not believe in love and marriage once upon a time and look where he is today with a loving wife, family and kids. 😆

You never know when cupid strikes after all. 😊

Jigs, my mouth was watering reading about the lasagna. Can you share the recipe with us please?? Blue eyed Arnav wearing an apron and a hairband and cooking delicious lasagna - are you planning to kill us Jigs by writing such scenes. 😉

I agree with Khushi when she said that his cooking skills sealed the deal. 😳

And finally the drawing of Khushi by Arnav was so beautiful.

You know Jigs, the below song kept playing in my mind when I was reading and thinking about this update.

Jigs hugs for being on time despite having a tight schedule in AD 🤗 and another one for bringing in the light mode to your otherwise very intense story 🤗 .

Arnav is trying hard; very hard and the part of the reason is his guilt other than his love for Khushi. What has the man done to his wife? Khushi has lost apetite, lost weight, lost her own self but above all lost all hopes . A sad affair of life and the worst case of loving someone yet Arnav is trying to bring back all and that is what gave me hope and what is a story without the hope😊.

The bond shared between the friends especially Aman and Khushi is very pleasing. It must be a knockout for Arnav to know that Aman knew about Khushi when he was all in dark👎🏼. There is nothing worst than knowing your spouse's schedule and interests others

The happy memories of their lives are somehow being lost for Khushi and so it looks like that she has taken the decision to moveon. But i am glad that Arnav is working towards bringing it back. He may not be realizing it but whatever he is doing is giving smile back to her👏

In quest of going ahead in career the guy has missed the most important thing in life; his life. He fulfilled his mother's dream but in order to achieve that dream his happiness slipped right through his hand. HIs mother wanted him to be successful but he forgot the basic principle of life:

And the sketch: Love you Hamesha how can it not bring back smile on his happiness face?

Something on Khushi's haal😳 :

Jaha se chale wahi pahuche ,Sochte hain kaise hua yeh hum

Khusi dhoondhne chale the jaha, gamon se hue mutalif hum

Hasne ke liye choopaye asoon, to haste haste ro diye hum

Tumko jindagi mante mante, jab khud hi mar gaye hum

Tumhe apna saath dekar, Khud se naata tod chuke hum

Jaha se chale wahi pahuche ,Sochte hain kaise hua yeh hum

res...

What a brilliant update Jigs..want to say so much but don't know where to start..let me start from my fav thing in this FF..Arnav's Italian looks ;-)

1) I really imagined Barun with blue eyes and Bandana cooking yummy lasagna...I love Italian food and Arnav can really cook..what a yummy combination yaar...mujhe bhi aisa Arnav chahiye..abhi ke abhi ;-)

2) Aman is opposite to what he was earlier..no marriage..and now happily married with 2 kids...kya se kya ho gaya? Arhi who were madly in love (they are still) but drifted apart now..

3) Arnav -Aman bromance..loved it..he and La are true friends..

4) Arnav doesn't know Kushi goes to yoga classes...who knows what else he doesn't know..!! guess thats the main reason for divorce

5) Chocolate and Kushi and Arnav..I want a blog only update for this Jigs...pleaseee

I will come back with more comments soon..
