First of all Jen...take ample amount of rest & have a safe delivery. Give lots of love & muahhh to the baby. Don't take stress at all. Take as much time you want & when you will come back we will be still waiting for you.
Now coming to the update...I don't know why I really feel sorry for all your characters. I just simply can't take anybody's side & I feel all are just helpless & are trapped in this situation.
Firstly LAVANYA- she is so obsessed with Arnav that it makes her very much manipulative. & to take the whole situation in her favour she didn't' ever hesitate to hurt herself. Her father & sister MANYA, has always suggested her to let go of Arnav , so that finally some sanity came into her. Manya, even knows about Arnav , not being Aarav's father. But seeing her sister in ICU & with the note & details of Khushi - obviously decided to blame Arnav & Khushi for her sister's condition (I guess any sister in her position would have done the same thing) . Lavanya was already leading a loveless life as Arnav never loved her back. He loved Aarav & was performing his duties towards Lavanya. He was never ever emotionally attached to Lavanya. But Lavanya in her obsession, always tried to tie up Arnav to her... because somehow the feeling that Arnav is related to her socially & legally gives her some sort of satisfation. In her obsession, she has mostly hurt the person, who she claims to love the most. I don't know what she achieved from this loveless relation??????? She has become so much revengeful , that she decided if she couldn't get her happiness, she would not allow Arnav to be happy as well.
On the other hand, thought not emotionally related, Arnav never cheated on Lavanya. He allowed Khushi into his life , after he detached himself from this marriage in all aspects. He loved Aarav a lot, & if Aarav is alive today, for his sake , he would not have allowed himself to get involved to other person. After spending a lonely & loveless life, when he finds his solace with Khushi- nothing was in his favour- neither the society, nor the relations with which he is bonded to. & he was battling against all this odds alone. He wants to be happy, move on in his life... but unfortunately was not able to.
Khushi's condition was no better. She is fighting with her emotions & the principles her parents has sowed into her. When she was with Arnav - she feels on top of the world... with her parents - she feels sorry to hurt them...thinking about Lavanya- she sympathises with her & also want happiness for her. But the end result is coming to Zero again
I guess Lavanya should have continued her counselling, may be she could have dealt with it better. Whatever is her condition today is the end result of her own obsession, decisions, actions. She has ruined her life, and obviously the people who are related to her directly or indirectly is getting affected by it. But still no hope.
I guess when you will come back, we will definitely get a positive start to this story. Hoping for their bright future.
P.S- well another thing sweetheart... I have nothing to say regarding your writing skill...because I have been your fan after I read- 'The bride with a doll' & your other writings also make me a big fan of yours day by day.
But dealing with so many emotion & handling all the characters different point of view at the same time is no doubt- very tough...& you handed it so well.
Will be waiting for your next update.
