Semanti,
I loved the way you concluded the story - in a beautiful way you have summed it all in few lines.. --"All I know is that Life is awfully uncertain. Sometimes our best laid plans don't work the way we want them to. And sometimes, the least expected hits us out of the blue. Sometimes romance wins. Sometimes practical considerations and insecurities take over. Relationships aren't perfect, because people aren't perfect. But through it all, the vast majority survive and live life with a smile on their face. Primavera is a tribute to that sentiment of taking one day at a time-- of treating each day as a new beginning, a new Spring".
There is a beauty in it and in all the characters of this story. In my opinion, the highlight which I felt in Epilogue two is Preeto-Khushi talk about Siddharth and Khushi's thoughts on how a toddler- Arnav relationship would be. The whole ambiance had a warmth, familiarity and beautiful friendship bond painted in it "Khushi shared a smile of secret complicity with her best friend, and the two lapsed into a comfortable silence, watching the evening sparkle around them."
Such bonds are rare and I felt nostalgic and longing...
Second highlight in my opinion was Payal-Akash friendship. I am glad and surprised and happy to know they went on to become best buddies...Its a nice change and I loved it.
Well, Akash, NK and La has their own mess to deal with, while I am surprised with the maturity Arnav portrayed..Amazed..really!
I should tell this --Garima was still nosy and you know typical Indian mummy..I wish she was cool like Sakshi!
I had loved this whole college romance-evolved into matured lives...Many points crucial, life altering decisions had to be made, people stood together, some lost the game, some won! On the whole, it was refreshing and enlightening story! Which had all the spices in the right proportions!
