I am sorry to say this but somehow I felt something missing in this update. Somewhere the continuation from last update also seemed missing. You know Anon, you are one of the best writers on IF, your stories, your narration style is always so good that you have set a benchmark for yourself. Somehow this update did not reach that bench mark. Please don't take it to heart, its just my observation.
Coming to the story, this update I find both Arnav and Khushi are at fault equally.
Khushi did confess her love, but its foolish of her to expect those three magic words back immediately from him. Was it not her who had said couple of updates earlier that even if he does not love her back, she has so much love that its enough for both of them. Then why this cribbing?? Also different people react to situations in different way. Arnav was totally not himself after Rishabh joined them for the dinner. His mood even after coming home also was totally bad, in such circumstances he heard his wife say those 3 words. According to Khushi he should have immediately changed his mood and told those 3 words back and they should have reconciled. But unfortunately for some people (I have seen this personally in my family) emotions are not like a switch with on/off button. One moment its fuming hot and next second its off and cold. Many sulk for sometime and they need space and time to come out of the emotional turmoil. And Arnav given his history its natural for him to need some time. Khushi should have understood this. Agreed Arnav did a mistake by not informing Khushi before leaving for Jaipur, but atleast Khushi could have called him up once to inform about Karan's wedding and her Mumbai plans.
Things would have been more pleasant if she had done that.
Also Khushi knows that Arnav has lots of flaws, so when she says that she loves Arnav, she should love him as a whole package. She should love his good qualities and try to change the bad ones. This unfortunately cannot be done overnight. I guess her patience is a required virtue here.
Coming to Arnav, going to Jaipur gave him sometime to sulk. But he got another shock when he came to know that his wife had made plans without even informing once. I am with Arnav here. I don't want Khushi to be a door mat but in a marriage some decisions have to be taken taking each other in confidence. Here Khushi slipped. She should have consulted Arnav before deciding particularly knowing how vulnerable Arnav is.
Arnav is getting obsessed with his wife more and more which is also not a good sign. Its okay to be possessive about people closest to us but obsession is a no no. It just ruins relationships.
Overall this update was filled with mistakes and communication lapses between the lead pair.
