You slay me.

After my initial read those three words were all I could muster. I am back and have pulled myself together. What a superb job you have done here with this chapter. Yes, Khushi is not the bad guy (gal) anymore. She finally realized her wrongs, which I was never in favor of by the way, and is trying to right them. I won't discuss what she does and doesn't deserve, but I feel for her pain when she realized the tremendous and grave error she made. I still feel Arnav provoked all of this, but she let herself be manipulated and proceeded with this even though she knew Arnav was a good father. Our choices do come back to haunt us no matter how we wish they wouldn't. Khushi is paying such a price for her poor choices early on. Its a shame her former fiance and family are not suffering the same. I hope you will continue to make her stronger from here on. The irony being she finally understood what it means to put your child first, as she walked away from him for the second time. The first time she put everyone else first; this time it was finally Aryan who was her priority. That's what being a mother is all about.

Arnav, you gotta love that man don't you? He knows she's a mess, she caused so much grief, she's a disaster waiting to happen and he loves her anyway. And best of all, he wouldn't let her go. His need overrides his better judgment. Don't know how smart that makes him, but it seems together they will make some kind of pair. And the way he handled everything with Aryan was so mature and just as a good father would handle matters. But in the end he could not escape his feelings for his son's mother (if I may call her that). I can't wait to see how you bring this all forward. Even though her moment was brief, also loved Priya, as she is still in Khushi's corner.

Shyam is despicable and not worth discussing here at all.

Can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks for interrupting your busy schedule for the surprise update last week and for this one today.

I was really curious to know how you would proceed given Arnav's conflict between priorities; and I must say the way you handled it as well as the effort taken in showing the proceedings of a case is highly commendable.

Arnav took a wise decision of bringing Aryan along. When he entered he did so as a father whose main focus is his child, which explains the face of cold indifference that he held towards Khushi. I loved the way he tried to make Aryan comfortable during his visit to the court, an illustration of the special bond they share. During the proceedings he did observe Khushi to see if she could realise and cope up with the truth.

'' It is not that i cannot.Rather, i will not'' He softly breathed against, offering comfort and solace. Anything except for, distance. This is what I liked about him; instead of judging her and leaving her to lick her wounds he followed his heart.

In the previous update when Khushi got to hear errors committed by both she realised she is no one to judge or question Arnav. At that moment she probably had considered withdrawing the case. The part where Aryan speaks about his mother was heartening but necessary for Khushi. She may have had dreams of Aryan running up to her and acknowledging her as a mother but she needed to realise her stance in his life. Her priority is Aryan no doubt, but the methods chosen to execute was biased towards soothing her own wounds. In the end she couldn't help blaming herself and running away, till Arnav showed her the way to handle her pain after presenting the mirror of reality. Beautiful chapter that I enjoyed re-reading.😊
