I have been waiting with bated breath for Khushi the lover and the mother to finally make her presence felt. No matter how cruel ASR was and how wrong, there was no way that the woman called Khushi, who personified goodness and forgiveness, who loved ASR, was okay with his punishment and repentece to this extent. That would just not be in character and you came thru and showed that you understand these characters...since they are uniquely your own creations.
I loved that Khushi did ask the question 'why' and prompted Amrita to ask...and she was pleading.
It was also interesting that its Aman who gets to explain the Arnav and Khushi story to Amrita. Aman is so central ...a true witness.
The father daughter bond that they both sensed and acted on when there was no knowledge nor proof of the relationship is so right for the the epilogue of that epic love story of Arnav and Khushi. It is no wonder that the result of that true love...Khushi the daughter ...and no matter what came after...it was true love...would instinctively recognize her father. She is after all her mothers daughter.
You posed some Astounding questions and then answered them in such an honest manner. You did not go cliche ...you stayed true to your honest style in this story. The recognition from the heart, the blood was acknowledged over logic and proof and the fight between good and great. The parts below just won't get out of my head:
Don't make him give up his world one more time. Letting another girl named Khushi go away from him like this. I don't think I could bear seeing my Khushi bhabi win again, leaving ASR with nothing.
"She was this child's mother, and she was just like this little girl-innocent, pure. I do not believe she would have wanted this win against him. Not her, not the woman who was so good."
They had their own life, the two them, the tycoon and the halwai-- their own winning and losing, their own story. Their own beginning and end. He has paid, and will always go on paying for what happened with Khushi bhabi. The price he has paid---the pain faces as he lives on without her---it is terrible enough. She took her payment, sooth samedh, when she left him behind, when she went where he cannot ever go. He knows this, and being a good businessman, someone who pays his debts and pays his bills, ASR also pays for this.
He pays, by breathing, by enduring, by living even while knowing she is gone and will never come back to him.
But this is a new story---ASR and little Khushi. He did nothing wrong this time, not when it comes to this child. He took her from you, to make a few memories to live with, when she is gone. That is all he thinks he can have of anyone he loves. Memories. He gave her back to you, with no expectations, no demands. And he did this for you and for her. But you have seen little Khushi, all these weeks. Some things are beyond you or me, beyond death.
And you are asking me this question now, because you know, and I know, that there is created love, and then there is fated love. He found his daughter, somehow, and she loves her father, somehow. Little Khushi, she should not miss out on having her father in her life, not when he recognized her without even knowing why. Not when she now wants him in her life, without even knowing why.
And being a great man, ASR is doing a great thing---he is giving his daughter up because he is paying in a new way for an old crime. He should not pay now. He is paying, by losing, by letting his own daughter go. And Khushi bhabi has taken her payment already, and she wouldn't have wanted this new payment from her Arnav-ji.
