We humans are pretty complex even with the same no of physical attributes, we are all so very different.
Arnav couldn't bring himself to commit.
And Khushi couldn't bring herself to stand up, for herself.
Who loved more? Or who loved Less is a personal prerogative. For me. I think Arnav did right. I've mentioned it in previous comment also. He saved Himself and Khushi from bigger pains that could have followed.
As for Khushi, being an adult, being independent doesn't counts for being mature and strong.
I'm not blaming her too. Love is over whelming, especially for a yound mind and a winged heart, its a high-flyer.
But i hope, in Book 2 she steers her life the way she wants, not for the world, because at the end, it spares none, not for her parents, at the end they want their child happy and certainly not for someone else..
Its actually funny, how even after centuries, we all still believe in Barter system - that we'll get something in return. Its Reality, that eventually hurts and its the hurt that paves way for happiness however small it may be. :)
Book-2, waiting for its arrival.
