I love this song and to a great extent suits this story and this update in particular. Funny, the song is from the movie "Piya ka Ghar" The fact they are at battle to call which place 'home' and the changes that seem to be a constant in life. Arnav has changed and so has Khushi, still what has not changed is the fact that they stuck in that time bubble which they find difficult to come out of.
Sharing the lyrics of the song -
Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Rungroop
Thode Ghum Hain, Thodi Khushiyan
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Chaon Dhoop
Yeh Jeevan Hai...
Yeh Na Socho Isme Apni Haar Hai Ke Jeet Hai
oose Apna Lo Jo Bhi Jeevan Ki Reet Hai
Yeh Zid Chodo, Yuh Na Todo
Har Pal Ek Darpan Hai
Yeh Jeevan Hai...
Dhan Se Na Duniya Se, Ghar Se Na Dwar Se
Saason Ki Dor Bandhi Hai, Preetam Ke Pyar Se
Duniya Choote, Par Na Toote, Yeh Aisa Bandhan Hai
Yeh Jeevan Hai...
Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Rungroop
Thode Ghum Hain, Thodi Khushiyan
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Chaon Dhoop
Yeh Jeevan Hai.

Why is that? I wonder.

May be the answer lies in the song... and those words, home!

Hopefully these two will find theirs soon. Thank you for sharing this song, its a beautiful one. And the lyrics would suit the bg score for this update I swear, esp. when Khushi walks away from Arnav in the end.

Hey Aria,

Just started reading this story and its become one of my favorites. Because this story is looking at the seriousness and gravity of that one decision made by Arnav on the night of Payal and Akash's wedding, the decision that changed not just Khushi but everybody's life. The decision he took on everybody's behalf and damaged lot of relationships. This story is clearly going into the depths of emotions of each and every character that is impacted by what Arnav did. And it is playing out all the ifs and buts I had in my own head (what if Khushi leaves Arnav, what if Anjali, Akash and Payal find out about the truth'and the list goes on). This is BRILLIANT👏👏👏
I will come back with more but in the meantime here is a song which is my current favorite and every time I am reading your story it plays in the background.

"Counting Stars" by One Republic

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is a four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Quite a grand entrance eh!?😛 Not that I mind😆. Welcome on board Geeta. And Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the update and you couldn't have been more precise, absolutely loved what you wrote. It is about that one decision Arnav makes and other little ones that the rest of the characters make around that one ... and the price each has to pay for the errors in judgement. Just exploring it from there.

I am assuming you have read up to the last update?

The song! Coudln't have been more apt, Its going to play on the background when I write the next update ;) I have a feeling it will be of good help. Thank you for sharing it here. Do share your thoughts more often if time permits :)

Cheers!

reading this i felt pity for arnav for the way khushi behaved with him and on the other hand i still angry at him for what all he did to khushi. khushi is not wrong either. she is beyond hurt after the contract marriage and arnav's demeanour isnt helping much too!
i think both have changed, maybe a lot or a bit.
i like deeya too much! she's such a true friend.
cant wait for more. do update soon! n thnx a lot for the pm! 😊

Yeah, Khushi is not wrong because Arnav did hurt her. Thats a fact and nothing can change that whatever his reasons may be for inflicting that hurt on her, he had no right to. But then again, someone will have to be the bigger person and compassionate if they wish to heal that hurt. Both have changed and yet remain the same at some level.

Thank you Avika :)

Arnav really deserved to taste a dose of his own medicine, and Khushi gave it quite well. I really liked the part were Khushi gave 2 minutes to speak & and after that saying ur time is up Mr Raizada...

Yeah, that was playing in my head for days. Had to get it in there. Glad someone mentioned it.

Thanks a lot Scarlet :)

Hey SL!

Nope, she knows, its better to scoot than stay longer than necessary around him. Khushi has learnt from the past and from him too. But for how long can she keep that up? Esp. when like you said, he will do as he wants, by hook or crook. He wouldn't be ASR if he didnt!

Akash...👏 You've finally become the man Payal would be proud to call her husband.

Arnav needed that wake-up call and hopefully, since it's coming from his docile and quiet brother, he'll heed the advice.

Part 17:
Who are these two people? Arnav's looking for the happy, bubbly, colorful and always optimistic girl and Khushi is looking for the arrogant, controlling, angry man who thinks he is God. But people are not static...with circumstances comes change and with the beating these two have taken, they can never go back to who they were. They need to stop looking for the person they knew and start accepting the people they have become but only the parts that are true and not the facades.

I really loved this chapter.

@bold. Yeah. she would be a little miffed but at the end of the day would probably forgive him given what he's done for her sister.

Arnav is trying to assimilate everything he can for now before he goes for the kill😆

These two is what happens when life drains you out. They will always be scarred by their past but they can move ahead...There is only one way for them to heal, but is Khushi willing to take that chance?

May be the person they are looking for is underneath that very facade?
