Wonderful update. Heart wrenching. Felt pity for Lexie and Arnav. What could have been a beautiful relationship never got a lift off.

With Lexie, it seemed like he was trying to please her and honor her likes and dislikes despite totally opposing them. He felt more like a helpless friend around Lexie and less like a lover. His behavior with Khushi is more like a possessive lover (around NK).

Glad that he found a closure to that chapter of his life. Can't wait to see how Khushi can bring him out of his guilt zone. Hope this episode brings Arnav and Khushi closer emotionally.

Stupid or what? I am soo.. I want to hit her or something. :/

Sorry m not the most understanding person around to talk like 'I understand this' 'I understand that'.. To an extent bas. Not for this. I guess Il be back later after cooling down.

but beyond fabulous, excellent chapter Shweta.

I think you are the only one who share my sentiments. Thats what I felt too. What she understood? She is also a unwanted responsibilty and baguage just like his family and profession?That he used her just for phisycal pleasure just the way he used Lavanya? He got peace from her presence and he enjoyed the caring she used to give but once he got a call about his so called true love he throw Khushi's care at her face and never think about her until Lexie brought it up, even after that also he did not feel about it. He did not show the responsibilty and guilt where those really need show and wasted them on un deserved person.

after reading this chapter..i think arnav and lexie shared the same passion regarding art..thats why arnav feels more connect to lexie than any other girl he dated...he tried to change lexie but he failed...feel really bad for them...

lexie poor girl because of her choices she lost her love, happiness and everything...

hoping kushi's love will bring arnav back...hoping arnav will realize that he shared different bonding with kushi...

well written chapter shwetha..brought tears while reading arnav and lexie conversation...

looking forward to arnav and kushi meeting..hoping it will happen in next chapter..

Awesome update. After reading this update I felt kind of elated. Until now I was feeling that Arnav left his true for his family and let his lover down. In that case I can not really be mad at him what he did to Khushi since he caused more hurt to Lexie.

Arnav never let Lexie down and he truely loved her. It is Lexie who is selfish and let Armav's love down. She always thought about her happiness and never ever thought about Arnav and his love. Because of her he suffered but she never care about that. She really does not deserve his love. She became addicted to drugs since she had problems? What kind of problems? She had a opportunity to study whatever she wanted in reputeted college and a man who loves her like anything and gives her support. What else she need?

I am really mad at Arnav. Not only he is carrying his unreasonable guilt and bacause of his past he let Khushi down for a selfish soul. He gave lot of value to Lexie who does not deserve but never gave a thought the pain he is causing to Khushi. He did not even remember her until Lexie brought it up. Is it that easy to forgot his wife who gave him some peace and love? Lexie does not deserve Arnav's love just like that Arnav does not deserve Khushi's love.

I do not know how I need to feel about khushi's decision to support Arnav and how he will deserve her love but I have faith in you Swetha. So I will wait.

A BIG DOUBT: Arnav never felt jealous when Lexie was sleeping around. May be fear of loosing her killed that jealous. But Arnav used to feel so jealous and possesive about Khushi whenever NK was near her. Normally we feel jealous about the people who we really love..

Bang on . My feelings exactly. Many including myself would do give our best if we were afforded with opportunities that Lexie squandered

Hats off to her!

My sentiments exactly Ruchi!

While I can appreciate where Arnav is coming from, all the hurt and pain he has been through specially now with his angel dead, I can't for the life of me understand Khushi going into self sacrificing mode! What with the way things transpired and her husband leaving her behind with his harsh words and without any explanation conveniently forgetting his promise to respect her and treat her as an equal partner even if he couldn't love her. I don't think I would be nearly as understanding as Khushi realizing that the husband she loves will never love her because he has always loved another, considering that he only used her for his physical needs and indulged her caring for him temporarily. Considering that for him, she maybe just another responsibility like his family!

Having said the above again as a reader I am feeling sad for Arnav as well and ofcourse for him to have his wife support him now would be an ideal situation for him. But if I put myself in Khushi's shoes then I cannot and I say absolutely cannot be understanding unless Arnav redeemed himself and apologized for the way he handled everything with Khushi. For him to not think about Khushi even once since he left and left in a very bad way too is not comforting either. He only remembered Khushi when her name was brought up by the love of his life. Things are definitely not looking bright for Khushi and I cannot help but feel pity for her, she has been through enough too! And I also cannot digest the fact that she would forget about her self respect because she loves her husband unconditionally. But I guess in the real world women go through worse and still stick by their husbands! So congratulations for the very realistic portrayal of your characters here Shweta.

Great chapter once again, the problem with H & A is that each time we read a chapter we want the other one immediately and it is all your fault Shweta! Why must you be so good? I cannot wait to see what transpires next!

Ah! these lines got to me...

Arnav was talking about Lexie losing herself here but he didn't talk of the fears of him losing Lexie. So, his wariness at not making her unhappy at any cost were deep rooted in his fears of losing her completely. She didn't want bondages and he didn't offer any. If that made him weak then he didn't mind being weak.

An exasperated Aman said, "Then ask her to stop showering her love so freely and save it for the person who is sacrificing so much for her. You can't be so submissive ASR. You are acting completely out of character and this one aberration can come back to haunt you."

Arnav, sure was living in a fool's paradise... He was in some trance-like state when he was with Lexie... She had some weird sort of hold on him, that put him in a stupor for him to see any sense... Why else would he try & rationalize her behavior??

I really can't be angry at Arnav no matter how hard I try... All I feel is immense grief for him at the moment. He suffered real bad, truly living in an illusory world...

But was this love?? Or some sort of infatuation with a larger than life spirit?? Whatever it was, he was in its grip real bad...

If Lexie was under the influence of drugs, then Arnav was under the influence of being in love with a nonconformist hippie. It was a recipe for disaster from the get go.

^^ @Bold Well put and couldn't agree with you more! Does he realise this though and if he does, is he willing to accept this fact now? I certainly hope so!

It is quite comforting to read other perspectives like this one when my mind is being a pessimist!

Thanks dear! Not sure if this is supposed to mean that he does realize his folly now, but I would like to think for the moment that he does... 😉

Thinking about that time now, he believed, he had been living in a fool's paradise, and Lexie was figment of that illusionary world. He now confessed, he had dreaded to pop that notional bubble. He feared if he did anything untoward, then this fragile illusion will crack and he had lose everything. And that had been the gravest mistake he made. He should not have let the fear rule.

i was so scared to read the update...even thought of taking a break for a few chapters... but glad that i didnt...

this was a beautiful chapter...i dont have words to tell u how i felt reading it...it was a mix of emotions...

but khushi is around...despite the sword of yashodhara's taunts hanging over her shoulder...she will be there for him...i believe that makes her his soulmate more then lexie... though m not judging lexie...

now i understand which illusion arnav was talking bt... n his fear...he didnt try to mend her ways, cause of fear that he might loose her, just the way her family did... arnav did mean a lot to lexie so maybe he wudve managed to get her back to their old ways...but then again the move to india wudve shackled her...esp with the political backdrop... so in a way, it was not wrong to let her free...

and aman is right too...it may not give a closure to the love he feels for lexie...but ofcourse there is nothing there in london now, to hold him back... so atleast he can attempt to move on with life in india (meaning, he might not be as stressed at the fact that he has to stay here)

khushi is one great woman...thinking bt arnav n lexie's pain, when her heart is breaking itself, is something only few can do...

now m eager to see their interaction, once he is back... also finally he remembered khushi, n realized that he has complicated their relationship...and also acknowledged that he feels at peace with her... well, its like doobte ko tinke ka sahara :P
