Wow this is one hell of a story.. Truly beautiful. you have an uncanny story telling ability,The beginning was beautiful. loved how the story depicts Arnav, khushi, aryan, their relationships to begin with. The way you have stayed true to every single character. the way you show Khushi being kicked out, worried payal, a loving and understanding Akash, a sick, obsessed and mentally deranged shyam, Arnav who couldn't seriously come to terms with his feelings towards khushi till it was apparently too late,his anger, his tenderness, heartbreak when she refuses to acknowledge his feelings for her, his willingness to sacrifice himself, his happiness for hers, his pure and untainted love for her, khushi who is selfless, broken, deeply indebted to Aryan.
Her gratitude towards him, her apparently unrequited love for arnav, the way she always keeps her guards up near arnav cos like someone once said and i quote "Pleasure of love lasts but a moment. Pain of love lasts a lifetime." . Lavanya the sweet, compassionate heartbroken girl and really loved her when tries to explain to khushi that she was making a humongous mistake by marrying aryan while in love with Arnav just because he was the reason she was alive.And aryan he was a good natured, sweetheart, compassionate and full of love, how else would you explain someone taking care of someone they hardly knew.I wouldn't blame him for being over protective and apprehensive about Khushi when it came to her family and arnav as none of them were there for her when she needed them the most and top it off they were ones who drove her to the extent of killing herself.The guy loved her with every fibre in his body and somewhere in the corner of his mind and heart he knew the she may never love him the way she loved Arnav. I was actually glad when Aryan realizes that she doesn't love him and lets her go not just because arnav and khushi could stay with each other but also because he was spared of a loveless marriage that would have happened only because she felt an obligation towards him . Cause as impossible as it may seem now he would eventually get over her and find someone who would be capable of loving him completely and with her, his lost smile and happiness. I am actually surprised at how resilient we tend to become when it comes to arnav and khushi wishing and waiting for them to get back together and have a happily ever after, no mattered how terribly arnav had wronged Khushi. Anyhoo when I was reading your magnificent story i was reminded of a number of my fav songs. When arnav thinks of how aryan was there for k when she desperately needed someone to hold on to loving her, consoling her and regrets not being there for her, i had only these lines from my all time fav song "always" running through my head-
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always .
And when he talks to her about his feelings for her one last time before she goes to get married to aryan : Stay by hurts
My whole life waiting for the right time
To tell you how I feel.
Know I try to tell you that I need you.
Here I am without you.
I feel so lost but what can I do?
'Cause I know this love seems real
But I don't know how to feel.

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
'Cause all my life I've felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

Alright, everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
Nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up.
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?
So change your mind
And say you're mine.
Don't leave tonight
Stay.
And when he tells Khushi the reason behind him giving her one of his mom's bangles to her :
SUNDAY by HURTS
There are times when we question the things we know?
Never thought that the cracks will begin to show
We both know love is not that easy
I wish I'd known that it would be this hard to be alone.
Please, come home!

Loverless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday.
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.

Is this the end of the love that had just began?
I always hope that the best it was yet to come.
Please, come back, don't you leave me
We're both so young, I know you need me too.
And there'll always be times like these.

Loverless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday.
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.

Maybe we'll see that we were wrong
If ever we look back one day
But till you come back where you'll belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.

Lonely, lonely.

If you don't come back tomorrow
I'll be left here in the cold
If you don't come back tomorrow, I'll go

Loverless nights, they seem so long
I know that I'll hold you someday.
But till you come back where you belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.

Maybe we'll see that we were wrong
If ever we look back one day
But till you come back where you'll belong
It's just another lonely Sunday.
Lonely, lonely.
And the one and only song that comes to my mind when i think of khushi and Arnav
is faraway,

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

I know I seem like a lunatic to type down these lyrics but they seem so apt well at least for me.. 😃😳😳. When arnav was in the hospital, anyone who saw khushi would agree to the fact that she may be alive due to Aryan but breathes only because of Arnav. and when she says she would die if something were to happen to arnav again i remembered these lines from wuthering heights - "'If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.'" And loved ur epilogue and how arnav names their son after aryan.
LOVE
ANJALI❤️
