Please don't apologize for being late. As one who is very often late with updates herself, I perfectly understand :P I'm just glad you came eventually ❤️ (KDramas han? There's such a mad craze surrounding them but somehow they never stuck with me. I've only ever watched one from start to finish and that was because it was funny, and I dig funny (go figure ;))). Also, given that I'm writing both stories, I'd be elated if you love either of them, so no worries. 😆

Glad you liked their domesticity and "tea date", there's more to come from this scene. Thank you again for this super cute review.

P.S.- You won't have to miss the gang for long ;)

yayyyy!!!! That means we’ll have a gang scene soon?? Hopefully!!!! I still remember the aloo parathe offer ;)))) excited.. !!!

out of curiosity.. what drama did you watch?? :D i’m a sucker for the romance and angst.. god. And k dramas do humour so well so there’s that!!

Can I just say how much I love this story? Genuinely.. truly.. ardently. It always gives me a renewed feeling of hope!! That things can be better and we can prosper despite our situations. Life can suck but it can be better. I think that is one of my most favourite elements of this story - it’s so uplifting and will forever be close to my heart.

I don’t know where to begin when it comes to commenting. There is just so much! Of course the beginning, the way you wrote always bewitches me. Argh you just write so bloody well. I love how you spoke about Arnav’s reactions, the tells he discovers when he talks to Khushi (no idea if i wrote tells in the write context here? Or if i even spelt it right LOL). I read “the importance of communication, and the effect it had on people if done right” and it put me in such a thoughtful mood.

I lovvvvve finding out that Anjali speaks highly of Khushi @ home !!!!!! That made me smile!!! So cute!!! I miss her so much LOL.. and nani knows as well so yayyyy!!!!! I also LOVE the fact that you crafted Khushi and Arnav to talk about their pasts, their families! It was so well done.. and that to whilst drinking tea. It was so brilliant snd unexpected.. yet beautifully done. I’m happy Khushi had someone to open too and this gives the both of them context and more understanding of one another. But honestly, the more I hear of Khushi’s life, the more angry i get for her. Tbh it gives me a throwback to an early update where her dad was insulting snd being so demeaning towards her (i’m sure it was a flashback) but reading it made me so upset and insulted.. it just triggered so many feels hence I absolutely despise her parents. At least her dad.. saying that unfortunately i am soft and if he comes up in a future update crying and apologising, i will forgive him (if Khushi does etc) but just the thought of him makes me angry.

Reading about buaji made me smile and miss her too. Damn, this fic really makes me miss the show LOL (well at least the good old days!!). It’s so sad that she passed.. i wonder if buaji was alive, how different would Khushi’s life be? Would she have married Shyaam? Would she have met Arnav and joined Raizada Industries etc.. it’s amazing how fate works.

I think this scene.. i just love dialogues like this - “No,” Khushi said, shaking her head. “You- you don’t need to apologize. I’m not offended by what you said. I’m just…shocked at the accuracy of it.” .. the accuracy. Arnav knows Khushi so well.. without really knowing much about her if that makes sense. He pus attention to what she doesn’t say as much as what she does.. and so does she. There is something so tender and beautiful about it and it just warms my heart. ❤️

Again.. the fact that Khushi chose getting married in order for her “freedom” really shows you how trash her parents were. How trash society and its mentality is! I take back what i said about the parents forgiveness thing.. i don’t know if i ever could if I was Khushi. I mean.. wow.

Can I just mention how much I love Santosh bhaiyya? LOL.. also this has made me crave tea and mai chai bandhi nahi hoon haha. I drink tea and i can’t sleep (i’m being serious. It’s ridiculous!)

Khushi and La buying gifts for the whole family !! Soft soft soft !!!!! Look @ her rambling. God, i love her!!!!! Such an adorable little bean.. and of course Arnav’s smile 😂 i was half expecting her to tell him it’s sugar free LOL!!!

Okay the end conversation about Nidhi, replacements, whether Khushi wanted to leave or was being blackmailed? Fgs can Arnav stop being so perfect? I mean how can you not love the guy??? He is literal perfection and i’m falling in love with him more and more I KID YOU NOT LOL. And Khushi, god i am so proud of her and would do anything to protect her LOL (getting potential protective vibes from Arnav over this comment.. wow LOL) .. this is just perfection.

You never cease to surprise me with every update. I gotta ask.. do you not get readers gap!!? Okay that is definitely not the word LOL.. i’ve totally forgotten what the phrase is but i’m sure you know what i mean???? Your writing is an art.. you should publish. Seriously!!

what if following her dream could coincide with AR's business model? We don't yet know what she wants to do but maybe she could stay and still build that? If not, I hope she will go and follow her dream. Maybe Arnav might support her in her venture.

I watched this one drama titled 'My Love from The Star'. The female lead was damn funny. Have you watched it? And maybe you can share some recommendations with me, I wouldn't mind giving them another shot. Maybe I stumbled upon the wrong ones before.

I feel quite short for words to express in gratitude for all the undeserved love and praise you shower upon this story. It means the world to me that you find it hopeful - because even though the genre is on the angsty side, I don't mean for this to be a depressing tale at all. So it's a huge relief to know that it's not coming out that way.

You're absolutely justified in feeling angry for Khushi. Like you said, even though she's been at the receiving end of a lot of shit from Shyam, the greater injustice she has suffered is at the hands of her own parents and their narrow mindedness. "saying that unfortunately i am soft and if he comes up in a future update crying and apologising, i will forgive him (if Khushi does etc) but just the thought of him makes me angry." - LOL. I legit laughed out loud at this. You are already considering forgiveness in the same breath as you are getting mad at him. Such a cutie.

@underlined- Khushi's life might have indeed been quite different had Buaji lived to see her get married. If nothing, perhaps she would have had a welcoming home to go to in her hour of distress. But then, in all likelihood she would have moved out of Delhi, shifted to Mumbai after the divorce, and Arnav, or even for that matter Lavanya would have never been a part of her life. So yes, I guess you could call it the strange workings of fate.

I reiterate, it's honestly so damn sweet of you to touch upon every little thing in the update. Makes all the effort of having incorporated those small bits here and there absolutely worth it.

Also, if by "readers gap" you mean to ask whether after every long gap between updates I stare at my laptop in horror trying to recollect what exactly I was trying to do with the story, then yes, I definitely have those. 😆😂

(P.S. - "getting potential protective vibes from Arnav over this comment" 😆)

(P.P.S- Arnav isn't diabetic here, just lactose intolerant, so no need for "sugar-free" :P)

Haha! Arnav isn't inspired by any specific real life person, but in a way he is a sum total of many incredibly thoughtful and observant people I happen to know who aren't the best at expressing themselves. I guess, we all know some people like that in real life, don't we? I'm glad you're finding it real :) Thank you!
