Chapter 7
The first update of this New Years is full of fireworks.. not the usual kind but the more deliberate, full of potential kinds. This update chronicles the stages of Arnav-Khushi interactions, and give us a better insight into how Arnav perception of Khushi was during New-On days, then college and how his perception has shifted in all these years they did not meet to the current status.
He notices her physical appearance in a good way (almost) and he does notice her as a person but also as a girl. More so, he never uses a single depreciative word for her dressing sense.
Arnav, has so come out as his own person and not be dictated by the likes of his mom or Payal. Khushi had always noticed that he was much nicer when they met one on one... but he was different, meaner when with his group. He does not want to acknowledge the feelings that she arouses because of his elite upbringing. And, according to his group of New-Ons, Khushi was downmarket... so he finds the need to stay away from her.
Arnav, is still trapped in Bourgeoisie mentality...🤢 thanks to his mom. He does not want to acknowledge the emotions that he feels when he sees Khushi.
Lavanya was also a revelation. Not inviting Khushi for her Birthday party coz Khushi would be uncomfortable!?! Rule of friendship is to invite all friends, and let them decide what they want to do about it. To not invite Khushi for party, is very telling about Lavanya. I also remember reading they never met out of school. So, lav was never really a friend just a common activity buddy.
But, there is more, that is yet to be revealed. Lav and Khushi had a showdown of sorts.. waiting for that one.😃
Akash is a sweet person and I think he is scared to move out of his friendzone with Khushi. Or maybe its something else!!! 😛 But Khushi has no issues, touching, hugging Akash... but she is hesitant with Arnav... Thats whats calles unresolved chemistry!!! 😆
I kind of like Payal. She is a straight shooter... But has no chemistry with Arnav and they have decided to get married?? Other than similar status, do they understand anything about chemistry/biology????😉
Arnav, is 28 and he is ok getting married to someone without any physical attraction.. 😲thats little difficult to grasp... i feel something is missing. Maybe its not Akash we should be worried about but A... !! 😆
Waise, Arnav does not understand the value of money... coz he never had to think about it. For Khushi the 1300 mean a lot and here he was giving it to her after 7yrs. How crazy!! It would have been better if he had just left it at that... But then I also wonder about how safely he had kept it coz he found it and finally gave the check to her...
Did he mean it as a Birthday Gift???🤔
Khushi is a smart intelligent girl... does she not get what it really means?? He is least bothered about Khushi.. all Arnav cares is the uneasiness Khushi's proximity creates for him and he does not want to deal with it.
Now, at the RIPE age of 28, he is actually coming of age, which is long due!!!
Hope in dues time he will resolve all the mysteries of his brain and heart.
But mostly worried about Khushi...One more calamity is about to befall!!! Now that Payal will also become a part of Raizada's its her and her father's turn to hurt Khushi... Ehhh!!
I hope something good happens for Khushi... Let her get married to Akash and come to Bay Area... she will find atleast one good friend in me... pucca 😆
eagerly waiting for the next...
