It was everything and more! Makes spamming feel so worthwhile and appreciated!

It is Love, Actually...

I can feel and hear the frustration in his voice as he speaks to her on the phone, irritable with the cold and this feeling of helplessness at not having Khushi with him, weekends with her is one thing, but not enough given the extent and depth of his feelings for her and for his greed to have her with him all the time. BTW that image of Swami in a vest...damn!

Love how he is drinking tea listening to her advice but hiding it not to sound and appear too eager in listening to her when she was not, like he is giving in...loved that the only cure as he knows it, for his state is to get her to just agree to be back in Bombay where he feels she should be..missing her presence in his life, after finally being together but the distance not agreeing bothering him... not wanting to be apart for a moment more than necessary ...and her stalling only adding to his annoyance . Loved how he wants to book her tickets , just knowing that she is going to be coming to Bombay will also suffice, well momentarily...so I loved his sense of desperation ,making him across as a man so irrevocably in love, honest with his emotions and so endearing...I really want him ! With no fear of putting his feelings out there! I

I loved how he tells her that playing hard to get is one thing and then there is this...and she is right, playing hard to get will have to be redefined for sure...I love how he realizes that there are things she still needs to sort out ...a job, and a place to stay...and I completely loved how she says YES to him, I love that he was nervous about asking her to move in with him and that she needed time...but am thrilled she says yes...I wonder what happens when she agrees to marry him

Loved how he tells her he needs to get off the phone, and Meera, what a gorgeous surprise, I was so delighted, like I was welcoming Swami at my door! That was the fastest see you' ever!

Love their excitement, their joy and their craziness at seeing other, the inability to control their urges and their need to be with each other, touching feeling, kissing , holding...loved how they just cannot get enough of each other, it was sexy and sensuous...the writing perfect. I could feel their love bursting at the seams, her rhetorical question,...asking if she can stay with him...like hell yeah!

The song on your status, Tera dar par sanam hum chale aayein...makes perfect sense!

I love this Khushi who knows what she wants and this time around is going about it her way, I love and respect the fact that she is honest with her parents about him and moving in with him, love how the M word pops up and him saying he cannot imagine his mother's reaction, love the summarization of the mother and daughter in law equation, he is already referring to her as one, how far can marriage be now!?

I love how he wants to meet her parents but trusts her judgment on how best to handle that situation as long as she know she is standing by her, for now that is enough.

Love her sisters reaction, strangely proud...for having a love story which also makes for an interesting story and for paving the way for her in the future maybe!

Loved the entire conversation she replays about her father's warning of a job or marriage, his easing the awkwardness over marriage, her clarification on the subject his endearing proposal. I have lost track of the number of times he has made them to her , but this is the first time she has or rather will accept when the time is right, I loved how you wrote the entire scene, it was just so simple, yet so effective and heartfelt, there is no doubt about the brilliance of your writing, seriously I am worried about each comment I write for you, wondering how my words are coming out, especially since I am always so excited and have so much to say...I loved it!

I loved how she wants to know his reason to consider sleeping with Ashima, it had to come up, and how she reads his manuscript imploring him to rework it and pursue his writing, if getting it out to the public was his reason to consider sleeping with Ashima, how can he just let go of that dream now, love his response, he no longer wants that, he now has realized what he prefers and what he loves to do more and does not have that drive and passion that writers should...so maybe he prefers pushing out talent and let's see if he revisits the idea of writing again, but for now he is content and sure that he is doing something that he know and feels is right finally!

First things first M, can I just give you a big hug for updating early and not making me stay up until an insane hour to have the pleasure of reading the next chapter of A word's worth! So here you go 🤗

Now that I am done being dramatic, I will thank you for this Beautiful, Beautiful chapter that was full of Rabba Vs, passionate moments, love blossoming and growing, a very subtle/real and normal marriage proposal indicating that Arnav is serious about his Khushi and some serious grown up talk about their future together, about their parents and their views on their Live In relationship, about their future career prospects and about their passions in life.

The way that you covered all of the above was just BRILLIANT once again right from the unexpected way Khushi showed up at his door step, to him making space in the cupboards for her clothes and to them doing some serious talking while sharing special intimate moments. I know you must be sick and tired of reading my adjectives that are used over and over again for every chapter but what can one do when words aren't adequate to express their LOVE for your work, what can one do when they know their words won't justify what they want to express, when they lack the talent to recite poems for you, they will have to resort to using words like BRILLIANT because that's exactly what each chapter of "A Word's Worth" has been and it is officially MY all TIME Fav story in IF( *hides from the other wonderful writers).

Apologies in advance for my rambling and spamming sessions in this thread, LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this chapter! I don't know how will I survive the weekend and my least Fav day of the week Monday! Needless to say I will wait for Tuesday with bated breath for more of your awesomeness!

Aww Khushi gave such a nice surprise to Arnav when he needed her, him being all ill

The way he welcomed her was just PERFECT!

Yay they'll be living together and i am glad that Arnav doesn't shy away from marriage talk...

Hmm so Arnav isn't really giving up on his dream but letting it go for now

Loved the update!

Oh poor Arnav, having a bout of cold, cough and sneezing and the GF is making it worse 😆 , what a cute surprise in store from Khushi!! As I was reading, I didn't realize it first but then as he was dragging fifty steps, it dawned on me, may be it's Khushi and sure it was 😊. All the sickness vanished in a ziffy 😉

So they will have a live-in relationship, am really surprised Khushi's parents agreeing to the arrangement. Khushi's mother makes valid arguements (not knowing Arnav ofcourse) and her dad's dhamki was good, get a job varna get married 😉

He kind of proposed but Khushi brought up Ashima again 😡 She is one complicated woman. It was nice of her to persuade Arnav to publish his story though

I'm very interested to see how will Aparna react and what hints she comes up with for the M word!

Lovely update. Already looking forward to the next one 😊

Cheers

Awesome update! The update had such a natural flow to it that it almost felt like I was watching it rather than reading it...
Arnav is such a lovesick puppy... Finally they have let down their walls and are really letting the other person know them for who they are. And he had already emptied some of his closets for her stuff even before she had said yes. Its just too cute!
I loved Arnav's proposal. To me that is more natural, realistic and romantic than proposing amongst a thousand candles and hundred flower bouquets. Because, really, who in real life proposes among candles and flowers! It only happens in shows like Bachelor! 😛
Also I like Khushi's response to his proposal. She, understandably, could not get over the fact that Arnav agreed to sleep with Ashima for the contract. I guess, more so now that she loves her and is getting to know him for the person that he is...
It was so adorable of Arnav to want to go and meet her parents the next weekend. It just goes to show how much he cares for her. He is right though about his mom. I'm really looking forward to her reaction when she finds out that Arnav and Khushi are living together.
I loved the discussion they had over his manuscript. And they are going at it like bunnies! Hey, not that I mind. 😉

Outstanding!!! No other word for this update!!
Loved it to the core!!

First of all i loved the entire begining scene! Where arnav is moving around in his house , balancing things and talking to khushi simultaneously!! I found it very sweet!!!

N OMG!! Khushi came to him!! I always wanted that in the end khushi should be the one to come to him n not the other way around! I was as pleasantly surprised as arnav when he found khushi at his doorstep!!
Khushi has been a girl with all the morals, values and principles. N it showed the amount of love she has for arnav that she went against her beliefs, against her parent's wishes to stay with him!! I simply loved the fact that inspite of wanting to get married to him she never tried to pressurise him!!!

I liked the practical side of arnav where he accepted the fact that may be he is not the writer material rather than getting emotional over it!!!
It was such an amazing update!!
Loved it!! It was love actually!!

Meera, Meera... Meera... You just leave me spellbound with every update...
I will get back with more... 😊

Edited:
Ok I missed commenting on the last chapter... all thanks to my asli duniya... So I stayed away from spamming too... It felt bad to not comment and demand for a new update...
But can I just say that I love AWW... I love your writing style... and love Arnav and Khushi... ok truthfully... I love mostly Arnav... Can he get more perfect than what he is?? 🤗

Loved Chapter Thirty Three for the evening-after conversation that they had. Loved how they joke about not using protection... The use of references from fiction writing in some scenarios causes such brilliant humor. Love Arnav who does not want to let go of Khushi... Ahh!! Love can be such a feel-good thing. Also the relationships between Arnavs parents and Aman-Aditi were also so beautifully written. They are characters that have been etched in my mind and will remain there for a long time to come. 😃

Coming to chapter Thirty Four... Awww poor Arnav baby was not well... I Live in Mumbai... I wonder why he didn't call me to take care of him? Loved his desperation to get Khushi back to Mumbai... I am so in love with him... He traveled every weekend to Cal... just to spend time with her!! Boyfriend ho ton aisa... One big Muah to him... ❤️

Loved her surprise... She actually came to Mumbai without telling him and was at his doorstep... I could totally imagine Arnavs shock, happiness and his desperation to get close to her. I love the detailing in your writing Meera... Everything is so visual... I feel like I am watching a movie... The way they bags were left in the alley... so he could kiss her senseless... wanting to convince himself that she was actually here... Brilliant!! 👏

Their chemistry is so spot on... The craving... the love... the need... physical and emotional... It is as if they have found something that had been missing in their lives... and there is not chance they want to let it go now... Loved the fact that Khushi told the truth to her parents... it is very characteristic of her... And I couldn't stop laughing at Arnav's annoyance of the fact, that Khushi's mom thinks he is responsible for them thinking him as a slime ball... 😆

Totally loved their discussion of her family... how he is genuinely interested in everything related to her... I can't stop loving your Arnav... and only you are the reason for it Meera... And then they discuss about the 'M' word... hayyee... I am so dead... did not see this coming so soon... How much have they progressed in these past few updates... from Choti Madamji to Khush... 😳

Liked their conversation about his writing and the way she tried to convince him to write... I really thought he would write after finding his muse... his Khushi... But I guess some people are not meant to be writers... Unlike you Meera... The way AWW has been written is thoroughly professional... and I truly hope some day you would publish your own book... I would love to get a signed copy then!! 😉

And now that I am done commenting... I will spam away to glory!! Tuesday is too far Meeraji!! Monday ko update milega... pleezj...!!! Vandyjee lets get on to spamming... I am officially back!! ☺️

What a beautiful surprise.. Khushi at the doorstep! I love this girl..

The entire update was so well-written.. they talked about their present, future and also past.. They talked business actually. But with everything there were touches of their romance and passion.

I know i should not suggest something, but i can't but let you know that, i would love to see an interaction between aparna and khushi.
