Amazing update dear. Dint expect this twist so soon.. I feel really bad about Khushi.. This is not fair at all... Arshi dont deserve this 😭. If i could i would kill that Shyam 😡. I just wish that they soon find that it was shyam behind all these and make him pay for it.

I won't be concentrating on this because there is no use! Shyam kind of characters are there in our society in abundant number. We can't deal with them. The only way is ignore them. What could be done by tackling him down? He would use it to prove his statements true!!!

U r a pro in writing scenes with song background.. The way u showed Lavanya and Khushi in a song it was really amazing and beautiful..

Oi, thank you so much☺️

But i was kind of restless reading lavanya's part, the reason is i love arshi more so when lavanya's presence was much needed there but she was spending her time here alone just roaming around (I know im being so selfish here but couldnt help). If she was there the damage would have been less... But i also understand the pain of lavanya and how much she needs this time...This sentence just shows the pain she goes thro - "But being amidst strangers gives her freedom to not rein her emotions"

I understand. But I wanted both of them in the same frame. No you are not being selfish, just being human😆

Maybe the damage would have been less. But then damage would have been there for sure. Even if La and Arnav was in for a divorce, society would bitch about Kushi! Even if La keeps mum!

Being celebrity is really just so tough. Since Khushi is a celebrity cant she have a personal life? Is being a celebrity a sin? These were the qstns that came to my mind reading it. And asusual Arnav is left out of it and its Khushi's character which is being qstnd.. I just hate this society and culture at times like this 😡😡😡.

I share your same opinion!

All those scenes in the song which explained the pain Arshi went thro was really beautiful. I thought that when such a situation comes khushi would feel guilty and would move away from arnav but thanks to you she didnt decide that way yet.. I was happy to read that she stood with arnav thro all this and decided to "face whatever that came their way - being hate or shame" 👏👏

I was eagerly waiting to know how Arnav faced khushi and what were their reactions seeing each other when khushi returns from the riot to Arnav's farmhouse. But u skipped that part. Sorry i was disappointed that u skipped that. Sorry just wanted u to know..

I understand your dissapointment. But the truth is I was scared to write that scene. If I attempted it, then it would have been melodramatic and maybe Kushi would have yelled at Arnav or a fight would have broken or a complete mushy melodrama. I didn't want that.

If I was Kushi then, either I will run into Arnav's arms and allow him to console me. But there is nothing to write in such a scene except drama.

Or I would have yelled and taken my frustration out on him which is again tiring.

So I might have choosen the third option before me. The long car drive would have helped me in overcoming the shock a bit and in thinking. So by the time I reach there, I won't be throwing myself in his arms for consolation. I would have the sense by I reach Farmhouse that if I see Arnav now, I might hurt him and later myself with caustic words. So even if he try to console or come near me I will close myself in my room asking for some time alone.

I didn't feel the need to explain that scene in that manner when the rest of the update is emotionally high. This would have stuck out odd with blankness. So I am sorry dear

Now everything is a mess and dont know what is going to happen. U just left us hanging in btwn 😭. Just loved the update dear. Really amazing.

Hey u forgot to reply to my post in the previous update. Reply if u have time if not leave i can understand that ur schedule is hectic. 😊

I will. I scraped u right?

Thanks for the PM. Would be happy if u update soon as the story is in a very important phase. I just feel that something is going to happen that would change Arshi's life now...

Yes. But don't know how many updates more till the flashback ends!

Thanks for the wonderful update.

Dear friends,

This note is to give you an idea about my mindset regarding the story.

1. First of all, I neither support nor am I against extra-marital affairs. That is not the purpose of this story. My opinion is that, these are personal matters. We don't know why a man or woman in a marriage is going out in search of love or whatever! That is their personal issue. We can't judge them because we don't know how their life is. You can't say this is right or this is wrong.

2. Only when you are in the position of Lavanya or Kushi, you can fully understand them. But even then, when we are part of such an affair or when our spouse is part of it, we won't be clear of what is right and wrong. It is complicated.

3. When I am writing this story, I put myself in Kushi's and Lavanya's shoes and write. What will I feel if I fall in love with a Lavanya's Arnav? What will I feel if my Arnav is in love with some Kushi? What will I do? Trust me; it is not easy to stand in both shoes.

4. If you have noticed, in most stories regarding this theme, only one side will be concentrated; that is either the female protagonist will be the wife character or the other woman. Initially, I was planning to keep Lavanya a closed character too. But then I changed that decision because I wanted a different approach. For me this story is a quest to understand some innate nature of relationships and family values.

5. My initial and sole purpose of this story was to speak for the other woman' in this triangle equation. Often the men fall for another woman and later they regret and go back to their wives for their children or out of guilt. Who is left behind with nothing is the other girl! And the society will make her life hell. Some of you might say, she deserves it. Yes, but doesn't that male too deserve it? In fact more? In my view, no wife will be hurt if another woman is after her husband. It hurts her when her husband strays. So why is the husband, who did a more sin is left scot free? So, my aim is to talk for that woman. If I can change at least one of your perspectives' regarding such a woman, I have attained my goal.

6. Some of you had often asked me for a monologue of Arnav. Let me make this clear, I am not sure if I will ever post a monologue of his. It is because; I don't know how a man thinks. I am a woman and I can only put myself in the shoes of another woman, not a man. If I give his monologue, it will be artificial. I don't want that. I'm trying my best to bring originality into this work. So you will know and understand Arnav through his actions, as a third person can see. His inner thoughts will be a mystery, always!

7. I am happy that some of you are feeling very intensely for Lavanya. Since this is an Arshi story, I was afraid if people will ever realise what Lavanya goes through!

8. And sometimes it is a fact that people don't find happiness in their marriage. Either the marriage would be arranged and the couple doesn't find love in each other or they loved before marriage but after marriage they understand they can't stay together and many such reasons. I love the question Rani asks initially to Sharukh in the beginning of KANK - "What if I get my true love after marriage????" Have you thought of it? What if in later life you don't find happiness in your marriage, you adjust to it. But what if you FIND real love elsewhere? Not that always such affairs will be true; there can be cheats and people who take advantage of the situation too. But at times, like Maya and Dev some find another person out of marriage with whom they find solace! I don't know if it is not right or wrong. But the least I could do is not judge'.

9. And lastly, some of you say La is wrong to cling on, some say Kushi is wrong to break a woman's marriage to gain her love. Both are right in a way. But for me, some asked my opinion personally, so, for me Arnav is wrong and right, Kushi is wrong and rightand Lavanya is wrong and right. Y?

10. Arnav is wrong because, deal or not he is in a bond and is responsible for this whole chaos in three lives. Kushi is wrong because she know there might not be a future for this affair but still went ahead for temporary happiness. La because she didn't work on her marriage early. Instead of giving him space, she should have tried to concretize the foundation of her marriage. But you can't blame any of them too.

Arnav, as said above, found true love in Kushi not in Lavanya. He didn't feel the way he feels for Kushi for La. He didn't try to cheat La by having an affair or disrespect Kushi by asking her to be his mistress or to keep this relationship hidden. He took the correct steps of informing La, arranging for divorce, standing up for Kushi and facing everything together though he is questioned less! Kushi tried her best to resist her urges and desire for this man. She even went to the point of hurting him and herself. She denied herself even the friendship she had with him. She tried her best to move away but her love finally caught up with her making her selfish to live at least for a day with her love. La too had no one to teach her the basics of a relationship or how to work on it when she fell in love with Arnav. Seeing her parents' example she thought she might not push him but wait! So each one of them are right and wrong. But that is how every deed of human beings is. A deed loved by some people will be hated by another. That is part and parcel of the world!

So that is all I have to say. I know all of you are waiting for updates. I hope this weekend I will be able to update both. Not sure, but as pooja holidays are there, I hope I will post at least one for sure.
