first of all dii i fyd it hard to read such emotional and painful updates... bt that doesnt mean i ll quit no... as a matter of fact its the reality of the society in recent yers...

folks fall in love ...that tym their heart is ruling ovr their brains.. and they dnt see the futr of their relation... its just that they see its just about love.. bt who knws by tym love is most demanding...

Being in love is easy bt crossing the hurdles being in love is hard..

Here Khushi was a new butterfly came out of her sweet sofy cocoon.. so she fell in love with the new surrouding as it was restriction free and grls more commonly fall to this.. as all of nw want a restriction free life.. as teen.. or wen u are stepping out for first of ur place wer u wer pampered as princess and wer restricted for ur benefits..

bt no teen ir young one cnsidr for once about their parents wen falling in love...

wen the cons. start appearing.. dey realise wat wrong dey did..

khushi while falling in live might hav thought about her parents bt that tym the new feeling of love was more superior than wat she must tbink of her parents.. its like we think parents will pamper our all wishes and end of the day dey ll accept...
and it happns parents accept deir kids evn aftr long many years bt wat about the humiliation dey face in that period of tym... can dat evr be gaind back...???
Its the worst to see ur parents facing the worst in society just because of ur one wrong move.. Dey may forgive u at the wnd of the day bt ek malal kahe na kahe reh jata hai... That was our upbringing that bad that our children brought this bad in their lives..


khuahi nw realise that it was always about him ..in this relation .. bt was she nt a equal participant to the act... wen a is good in relation no obe realise to see who is ruling bt wen the worst phase knock ur hearts .. den u repent and start counting the falls..

Khushi as a women ebterpreneur can prove herself a strobg one as... unril nw she was a grl bt nw she is a lady who is about to give birth to a life.. so she gain more maturity in this period..

Nd being weak can nvr bring u out of ur turmoils btr u fight back for ur rights..

I cant say khushi is completely wrong bt sme wer she is also responsible for wat her basket hold..

Arnav ... he say he love the lady.. so y cant he see the humiliation she nd her parents are facing.. ia thia just about love of pleasure..
khushi can be cnsidrd as an immature as she is young bt arnav being enough old .. cant he think once ovr the situation..

He is stiff on his decision.. Bt in love it is to give up for ur partner and his/her happiness.. Wer he stand in that.. While.khushi gav in his love.. she evn accepted the relation ... As he wantd.. I appreciate this..


I agree if arnav was frustrated with the situation dnt giv him the right to speak like this.. Infact he should act more wise..
Bt he gt spilld soon


Overall arnav should cnsidr once her turmoil and wat she is going through...

At last its always a grl who is accused and made guilty to the worst while men is out as a free fly... Y so?? Is always a grl who has to compromise .. Foe love.of her lifw frm her.partner frm her parents..
At the end of the day its just khushi who lost badly ... Arnav too is in pain bt y its always that his opinion should matter.. Excepted hw was clear frm day one.. Bt in love u hav to stand by ur partner in unexpected phase also..


Its just my thoughts.and opinion... May be ame agree to this whilw othrs may disagree.. Bt its my personal ..

Call me conservative, call me traditional but I agreed with Khushi's parents! Both Garima's and Shashi's reactions to their little girl's secret life were so natural, it felt real!! And this is just for live-in arrangement, once they come to know she is pregnant they will collapse at least Garima will..so there goes the hope of support from them..

A live-in is an experiment started by western society, for a compatibility check and it can result in a marriage. So when Khushi agreed for this, I had a teeny weeny hope that Arnav may change his stance at least for her parents sake, just like Khushi started to hope..but I don't even want to criticize him now or give him credit that he was clear from the beginning.. We just know that they are not compatible..

As for Khushi's decision, I respect her decision, no matter what.. I would applaud her if she changes her mind but wouldn't berate her if she didn't. I agree, she would need a lot of courage and support from her family and friends( Payal ) even if she doesn't get any from her partner. Khushi is still vey young and in a vulnerable state, may be her decision would be different if she were in her thirties..and it is a lot to take from the society to be a unwed single mother..I wouldn't be surprised if she made this decision to save her parents from shame..

As for parting ways, it is wise decision on her part, otherwise I would consider she has no self respect and has turned out to be as selfish as Arnav is...

My heart is aching though...

I don't know what would be Khushi's decision ,but whatever be the decision I hope some 10 years back she doesn't feel guilty for getting rid of the baby or for that matter resents the baby. She should just remember whatever is good for her is good for the baby too.In there is another problem of acceptance from the society, (though that be sorted if she moves abroad as somebody said there would be a book 2). There is no point bringing the baby into the world where he won't be loved enough, if she is capable of giving all that to the baby only then should she should think of embracing motherhood.

I loved Shashi, in this he did the right thing and that was the breaking point for Khushi, she just walked out of it.

I have no hopes from Arnav here Khushi takes 180 degree turn for his love for this relationship and he is not even trying to bent a bit and be a bit flexible in his stance.

For the sake of a god damn baby he is ready to let go off this relationship and ready to see Khushi walk away. Damn you, Arnav. He didn't even go to see her in the clinic whether she is fine. Questions like 'how is she' 'she didn't even want to go through this' 'is she fine', doesn't even bother him. Which just means he never loved Khushi enough what he loves more is his bachelorhood.

To repell away pests like Arnav we have special baby repellant spray available in the nearby stores. In this chapter I'm beginning to hate him. He didn't even try to bargain like marriage but no baby.

I'm really sorry if any of my comments offended you, but I couldn't stop myself today. Looking forward to the journey ahead.

Pheww...that was quite an eventful update. Loved it
I hope at least all these events put some brains in Arnav, and instead of letting Khushi or the baby go, he accepts them
Can't wait for the next part, update soon!

This was heart wrenching to read both for the parents and Kushi. This is my strict opinion and I do not expect anyone to have the same or agree with me. I can't fault the parents as they feel deceived, feel like the trust they placed in her was not reciprocated and mostly because the world they come from does not include scenarios where a girl freely live with a man without marriage. I know because my parents are the same and it was very hard for them to accept that I was dating someone who is a westerner. In my case, he turns out to be more supportive and valued my principles. He knew that marriage will give us the respect and peace from society and our family. If you truly love each other, then this is not a sacrifice of your principles. I know that Kushi saw herself with Arnav and only Arnav for the rest of her life and I thought he did too as he keeps telling her he loves her and that she was different from the other relations he had. Then why not erase the obstacles in their path? I was glad at the beginning when you showed his POV and show us how he felt remorse for the words he used and his reactions. He is entitled to react badly to the unexpected news but he was hurtful to her. I wonder what answers he got from the questions he asked himself especially the one where he asks how he would react to Kushi keeping the baby and moving away from him? Grow a pair Arnav as you are not acting your age. This girl has been so selfless and gave everything to make the relationship work. What has he given her? As a grown man, he should perhaps find out why he hates the idea of marriage and family and try to resolve his issues before hurting someone who loves him.
Unfortunately for them the parents barged in before they had a chance to talk. I really wanted to know what conclusions he had come to. I do not blame Kushi for not listening to him after he failed to provide her the support during the heated discussions with her family. I truly do onto believe she did something wrong by following her heart but I guess her family would be less hurt if she had talked to them instead of them finding out from a stranger. I am sure they would not have agreed with it but at least they would know what she has decided to do as an adult. I feel we will be the generation of parents who will break that traditional barrier and trust our children in the relationships they choose if they discuss these with us and seek our input. We learn by falling down and as parents we constantly witness this with our children from their first booboo to their first hurt feelings when a friend say something bad, to their academic failures, etc . . . We are there to catch them and encourage them with kind words to not give up and to go on. Sashi will do the same once Kushi makes her decision as to how she wants go move forward.
I feel sad that Kushi may have been forced to make a decision about her baby with her family coming before they had a chance to talk. She must be feeling like all walls are closing on her and that there is no way out. She should have the abortion if this is what she wants but she was having some good feelings about the baby inside her earlier when she woke up in the middle of the night. I feel for her and for all girls who are in such a situation. There is a silver lining though and hopefully Kushi and anyone in such a situation can hold on to that hope. As a mother of 2 who had planned both pregnancit's, I was prepared and embraced them but there is nothing wrong if you do not to feel the maternal urge. This is just a misconception that is fed to all young girls. It is your body, your feelings and when you are ready you will know. Accidental pregnancies do happen and YOU should be the one to decide on what is best in the situation after evaluating all your pros and cons. People will always have an opinion and there is nothin wrong in listening to them and take them for what they are. At the end of the day, the decision should be completely to the woman to make. Strictly my opinion of course.

NB, again kudos to you for bringing up this topic - a great debate topic for sure!

Hey NB and other active readers of this forum... I was reading some of the comments ... I agree with most of them...
I would like to say few things here... Our society at this moment is still transforming and accommodating ( not completely accepting as it's still very judgemental on women when it comes to divorced or unwed mother or being in live in relationship..) some transformations... Buts it's still very HIPPOCRITICAL... Not going deep into it... What I want to say is... When we live in such society, compromises have to be done...some for our peace of mind...some for our loved ones...some DEFINATELY for parents or in- laws for that matter and if these are done for positive reasons and for benifit of all the people responsible, it won't make us small, week or sad or even vulnerable... Arnav is not ready for understanding this basic point... His reason can be any thing from not believing in institution of marriage because of numerous failed once...but live ins never succeed as well...
My only question is If Arnav feels he is ready to give his 100 % into this relationship n not just passing time with her for physical pleasure... Then why not give it the name of marriage for Khushis parents n his families happiness... I don't even understand why he feels he loves Khushi...he has not altered his life 0.1 % for her... INFACT he could not even give her emotional support when she needed the most... He might argue that he never forced her n given false hopes...if so then he should let her go now n not blame her or her parents or the institution of marriage for their failed relationship ...because if anyone is responsible...it's only him n his stubborn idiologies... IF HE NEVER WANTED TO FATHER CHILD...HE should HAVE GONE FOR VASECTOMY...(why not take the responsibility himself...rather than blaming khushi for forgetting the pills)...an almost permanent. Method of contraception... I wish Khushi said that to him...
MY COMPLAINT WITH KHUSHI IS...WHEN she MADE THE CHOICE OF Having NO MARRIAGE Relationship with Arnav...she should have explained her choice to her parents sooner...best would have been even before she had given herself physically... I understand her fear...but no matter when ...the chances of her parents rejecting her or objecting her were the same... Comming to know abut their daughters relationship status is one of the worst shocks of their lives...and being the supportive parents they were...they deserved the knowledge of her love n choice...

However abouth the abortion decision ... I believe she should go for it if she is not up to bring up her child on her own at the expense of her n the kid experiencing that hollowness of absence of Arnav in their lives...not forgetting all the social prejudices they have to face...

This is what i dreaded..All along... and now it has happened...
There's no false hopes now... surprisingly, I feel much better now...
No lies and no secrets. And the good thing about this whole episode is that Khushi can now decide what she wants in life with a clear mind..There shall be no confusion... The worst has happened. Whether she decides to keep her baby or not is her decision. And I won't comment on it.
And her parents' reaction was natural. Most Indian parents would have reacted in the same manner..
And I'm not even gonna mention 'him' here...
He doesn't deserve Khushi... Or any other girl for that matter...
Its true that he was clear about his no-marriage, no-children policy from the beginning. But it is also true that Khushi accepted his terms only after his accident. When she almost lost him forever... So the accident is what made her forget her principles to be with him..The triggering factor.. And is it a crime to expect the same in return??
To hope against hope that he would come around when he's on the verge of losing her forever???????????????
But still, she's the one to blame... i donno...
I wish her strength...
And I'm thankful for the fact that Shashi hasn't given up on her.. She still has her father... And thanks a lot for not including Manorama-Garima convo...
Waiting for the next chapter NB ji...;)

Am back after reading the update again and many comments too.. what I feel is, if there is no baby, this relationship is over i.e if Kushi aborts, then there wont b any future for Arnav Kushi..she will never forgive him for not standing upto her in front of her parents..what Garima Shashi is did is what 99% Indian parents would do..even if Kushi had told this instead of Manorama, their reaction still would be same..but good that Manorama told them and they came to confront, else Kushi would still b in her dream world of Arnav marrying her some day..now atleast she knows his feelings r same as day one of this relationship and I love you from him has not changed anything..
My prediction is, she won't abort the baby as now she knows she doesn't have any one on her side except Payal and baby is her only hope for future. She might have told Arnav to find a doctor just bcos she is angry with him but she will not abort the baby is what I feel..she will quit her job for sure and might move to Mumbai or abroad based on she keeps the baby for not.

I truly appreciate honest feedback and this what you have provided. This is what makes us individuals, we should think and speak our views. After all would the world not be a boring place if we all thought alike. To the author of this FF well done for writng on a subject that brings forth healthy discussion..


Actually I loved the conversation and the thoughts which went on here..I would like to say something which caught my interest in this comments

"Why do parents want to marry of their daughter because its what society expects.. " ---- I keep on asking this question these days...even voiced it to my mother who resembles a lot like Garima lol! Well she didn't have a correct answer to provide me. She told she is a mom, when I become one, then only I would understand.. One thing I am sure, by the time my baby grows up, the generation would have gone so far ahead and I don't think I would be strict on my baby girl to grow up conservatively and in orthodox way. I really want to break those shackles and would tell her to explore and go discover on her own...go make your mistakes and learn from those - that would be my advice - because your mistakes would be the best teacher life could give you...

Actually I think, parents are worried if their daughter is somewhere mid or late 20's then its hard to get a guy and if she fails in this exam which society has implemented, then it brings shame on their family honor and it also is the mark of their failure to fulfill their responsibilities. (This is the old generation thought, which I had heard through many senior citizens) Some say it is their responsibility to see their child settled well and happy. But what guarantee is there? I keep asking..then people start on "compromising values are part of girl's life etc" I mean how much can a girl compromise while growing up? Up to 18 years, most of the girls in our country respects and follows all society norms because they live with families and is kept under their mother's control (Proper behavior classes are mother's jurisdiction in our society right? else when the girl goes to sasural, its mother's fault that the girl doesn't know proper cooking etc) God! there was a time in my life when I was scared of all those dramas..May be because there is a rebel within me - I still don't know proper hi5 cooking. he he...

But I really hope parents consider their daughter's happiness than the society's approval. My parents would support me if I was in Khushi's place but it would have hurt them too...that's where another conflict comes...whom do I want to make happy? My parents or myself?

Oh god! I better stop...these thoughts will never end...NB, come up with the next update soon...
