Dearest Eisha, what a spellbinding update this has been coming after a long gap. The nail biting finish of the last chapter had put me on tenterhooks. Your Ashni had gloriously celebrated their one month anniversary and basked in their heavenly union and spent some blissful moments in the solitude of the verdant and vibrant countryside. And then Ashu's sudden volte face had me thinking as to what could have triggered this weird behaviour.
The loss of a patient whom he had tended to put him in deep distress, but making Nidhi bear the brunt of his indifferent mood and stony silence was indeed very hurtful to his innocent treasure. The way she copes up after being distanced away has been brilliantly portrayed by you. Yes indeed - was she just anyone ? But your Ashu could not bear to see his Nidhi's anguish and instantly came in search of her and panicked too when he could not spot her. He is taming all his demons by himself but hats off to him for seeking her out immediately to calm her doubts and fears. Nidhi showing her miff for the first time and giving a real hard time to Ashu had me smiling all the way. This side of Mrs. Heartstone was a treat to read and your Ashu unrelentingly pursuing and pacifying her with his naughty innuendos made Nidhi succumb to him rather grudgingly. Super love the way he is going all out wooing her in his peerless style and trying his best to bring back the smile on her radiant face. But he surely deserved this from her, just hours after confessing that she had wiped away all his loneliness from his isolated life. Ashu texting Nidhi and threatening that he will come down barely dressed had Nidhi coming to his rescue in a second - he leaves no stone unturned to seek her attention - absolutely loved it. Ashu trying his best to make amends and telling her what transpired at the hospital, but Nidhi rightly gives to him when Mallika's name is mentioned.
The best part of this update was Baba's tete a tete with Ashu, when Nidhi leaves the house going hungry skipping dinner and breakfast. He minced no words in conveying to his beloved son that his unreasonable attitude will have the wrong impact on his dear daughter in law whom he loves equally. Could fathom Ashu's deep anguish listening to his father narrating the sequence of events the previous night. Loved the way Baba smiles to Kaka after delivering a piece of his mind to his son. Ashu rightly rushing off to meet Nidhi to feed her breakfast before she starts her duties had everyone scampering for cover at the hospital looking at the Dean's stern face. But here again Nidhi is undeterred, though she accepts his cajoling with a straight face. You are setting up a very interesting part here by bringing in the dinner for Jagan and Mallika. Ashu deliberating over this with Nidhi but she maintains her miff and postpones the dinner due to her night shift. Though she is hurt, loved her attitude in giving Ashu his much desired hug minutes before he goes for the surgery.
The talk in the canteen among the doctors regarding Ashni had tongues wagging as Ashu has changed his entire schedule for the next day to match his wife's working hours. The senior doctors cannot believe that Ashu is going the distant lengths to be with his wife every waking hour. As always the convos which your Ashni share - the teasing and the naughty banter spiced with romance was a feast to the eyes and senses. But here again you have ended with Ashu back to his heartstone self and keeping us pining for more.
Thank you millions for the grandeur of this much awaited and long overdue update ððžt. You are taking time out from your ever busy schedule and giving your ardent readers to relish your writing and for this you deserve a big hug ðĪ
