Finally got a chance to edit :)
I don't know about you, but I think you should write more often when you are tired & sleepy :) Not that your other chapters aren't great but this one stood out by far... Not sure why, your writing style was still the same but the content itself made a huge difference...
A reflective Arnav is what I have been missing since long. Banda never seemed to think about their relationship at all. It was all about either pursuing Khushi for physical reasons or for having her around because she made him feel good & kept Arya happy, but he never seemed to want to do something for her or mean something more to her... Heck, only the previous night, he offered to start "officially" dating her, that seemed like a huge concession on his part almost as if he was doing her a big favor...
Now in such a tragic situation wherein he wanted to console her, he was left feeling absolutely helpless. He was NOBODY to her. Serves him right. He for the first time realized, no matter how much Khushi may mean to him & his darling daughter, without an official name to their relationship, she was still a nobody to him. I just loved that moment of epiphany. He is sooo stubborn, not until it hit where it hurts most, did he realize that he has no rights over her... Sach mein, kitna dheet hai!!!
He even felt like an outsider between Khushi & his daughter... I loved the way Khushi explained Payal's situation to Arya & begged her to take of Payal in her absence. The whole convo was ultra-cute. Khushi wanted to share Bubbly with Payal, just like Payal shared her parents with Khushi was so heartfelt.
Loved the way Anjali stepped into help Khushi. Arnav briefing Anjali as what all to do, was real nice. Poor guy, he needs an assistant in his absence to take care of his Khushi. I just loved the line...
"He wanted to sit besides Khushi right now, take her to visit her father in Lucknow, foot the bills without seeing her creasing her forehead for money, be with her when she needed him. But he had no right over her. He was helpless."
Anjali warning Arnav about any PDA at the airport was super smart. She effectively killed two birds with one stone IMO. First, she protected Khushi from a potential scandal & second drove home the point to Arnav, w/o an official name, Khushi really is nothing to him & he really has no official hold or right over her, even to console her when she defo needs him. Me super liked that bit. 😃
Anjali helping out Arnav with the Gurgaon issue using Shyam's & Aman's help was again very smart. So Anjali secretly acts as a conduit to help iron out issues for Arnav using Shyam's resources. I have a feeling Arnav will be finding out soon from Aman where he gets all this info. The cat will be out of the bag pretty soon. :)
Loved the whole family rallying up behind the Gupta sisters in order to help them. Starting from naniji, to mamaji & finally mamiji. Loved the way the elders sorted out the problems for them. And Aakash miyan ki toh chandi hi chandi hai in dino 😃 Glad to see Payal finally giving in :)
About the last line, I think I may have some idea as to why Khushi was bawling her eyes out to Arnav. Have her parents brought up that Government vaala rishta again?? Are they pressurizing her to marry soon?? Is that why she needs Arnav?? Is that the storm coming up?? Could be...
Please, please next chapter jaldi se update karo, now you can't keep us hanging on that cliffhanger for a week, not fair :(
