beautifully written and very intense, yet humorous in places... 
 
 loved how you've described arnav's 'striptease': The buttons came off one by one until a bare chiselled chest peeked out through the folds of the open shirt.He tried to pull it out but a sudden jolt of pain again sent his back throbbing.How he wished he hadn't dared to contradict Newton.It had come with effects-heating effects and side effects to be precise... in her worry for her husband, khushi never even realised that she might be scorched 😉! she really rushes in headlong where angels fear to tread!
  
 khushi's confession of her love was simple yet very moving and heart-wrenching: ''Yes I love you.I do.More than I will ever love anyone in my life.I wish I didn't and yet I do.I do.I love you...''
  
 It wasn't right.A truth forced out was probably worse than a lie... thank god for arnav's realisation... whatever one's reasons / motives, forcing someone to do something against their will just isn't right! that was why I didn't like the tv act he made her do, especially the dance
  
 khushi quoting his hurtful words ad verbatim to arnav finally brought home to him how deeply he has hurt her... despite all that she loves him
  
 no wonder he had to admit to loving her, as anything less would have meant demeaning her love: ''I am sorry.I hate to hurt you ,I don't even know why I do that.I ...I...love you Khushi...I don't deserve all that love you gave me...I'm sorry for lying,for everything.I promise I will bear every pain for you...I promise'' beautifully said!
  
 agree with you that both deserved to learn the complete unvarnished truth... all they had to do was look into the other's eyes!
  
 the verse at the end was very apt
