[COMPLETED] A Word's Worth # 2: Link to Thread # 3 on Page 153 - Page 7

Can't believe you stopped there!! I hope to God it's Khushi at the other side of the door.

So Khushi had an affair with Ashima's husband? Dear lord! I made such random weird guesses but didn't think of this. And she's a non-blood sister? Wah! All her guilt makes sense now. One aspect the show never explored was Khushi's feelings about attracting so men. As Ashima said all men seem to be drawn to her. I really wonder what that does to woman and I never quite figured out how Khushi would feel. Anyways, quite the history these two have. What a raw nerve Shyam must have touched when he asked her out. And then Swami tried to kiss her right after kissing Ashima- must have been deja vu for her. While it still does not justify the whole punishing a skirt chaser idea, it does explain why it is so easy for her to judge Arnav and her anger towards him. It is also possibly the reason for her holding on to her morality so strongly. Not to say she wasn't morally upright earlier, but I guess once one "sins" in one's own eyes, the boundaries of right and wrong become stronger and one is more inclined to judge oneself as well as others. Sorry for droning on. I just happen to love your Khushi and her spirit so much I feel the need to justify her behaviour- to myself perhaps.

Ashima sure is a bundle of contradictions. Uptil this point, she has been quite the she-devil but for some reason it does seem to me that she kicked Khushi out for both reasons- to liberate her, as well as because she isn't needed anymore. It is also interesting that manipulative as she is or tries to be, she put up with a cheating scumbag for so long.

She is right about Khushi losing her spirit in putting up with her. I would love to see hazeleyes unleash herself fully. And Imran's conversation with Swami suggests the opportunity might just be around the corner. Interesting how both of them have transformed each others' lives, and brought a sort of reality check so they could reflect and see themselves for what they are, thus bringing Swami out of his inflated idea of himself and Khushi out of her inflated sense of guilt.

So true Immie!!!

I am just losing my mind here over what will happen once Swami opens that door. And I'll absolutely die if it is anyone other than hazelyes. And here I was wondering after the last chapter how these two would meet again. So much better than anything I could anticipate.

You outdo yourself each time. Each chapter just leaves me tingling with anticipation for the next one. I totally understand the plight of all the spammers

Special thanks to all of them for all their efforts.

And of course a unlimited thanks to you for sharing your brilliance :)
