Thank god you didnt update again! I thought I am so late that I will miss a chapter in commenting and I dont like that.
I am going to divide my comments like an SSC board ka X std ka history answer 😆
(A)These are Arnav's kuch kuch hota hai moments:'very much the young, wide-eyed schoolgirl'
''she looked very beautiful'
'Red was certainly her colour'
'The silk of the fabric wrapped around her snugly, almost as a second skin and it accentuated and flattered her almost perfect body'
'But there was no denying, she was a beautiful woman. He had of course considered this notion on more than one occasion in the past, but today was when he acknowledged it to himself'
'He found this both charming and frustrating in equal measure'
'Of course. Aakash Mallik would be here to save the day. Was he being vicious towards his cousin who had done no wrong? Why?' JEALOUSY already??? 😲 😉
'that he was not her stalker. Yet'
'She did not beat around the bush, a quality that he admired her for'
'In that moment, it was hard to explain, but he would be lying if he did not admit that he was mesmerised by her'
'and yet her eyes were nothing short of beautiful'
'She had the most peculiar shaped nose, which might have been unattractive on some other woman but not on her.'
'He even noticed the tiniest mole above her mouth, and at the risk of fetishisation, he exercised self-control and did not allow his thumbs to graze it.'
I had told you before that I am a little unsure how romance will come into play in this very realistic story. Man you have me floored

These are the things that were revealed through this update:
Small world, isnt it? Poonam Raizada had set up a fund in the memory of her father and the beneficiary happened to be Khushi of all people. She pulled out the fund and Khushi left her college. Now I wonder was it because of the Shantivan tea party fiasco or something more had happened for Poonam to do that?
Thank god Khushi finished her education; correspondence se hi sahi. Phew!
Ohhh okkk... So Tewari is Khushi's ex-step dad. Miraas mai unhone apni nuksani mai aur karz mai doobi huyi dukaan Garima ko dedi... Is this why Shashi is upset with Khushi? His own shop shut coz of loss and Khushi decides to salvage the scandalous association?
Garima and Shashi actually didnt wish Khushi. Not even Garima... 😕 Khushi brushed it off as strange. I would have felt really bad. It is not about the day, it is about the feelings.
Aman is visiting Payal for lunch (and not Arnav) and she doesnt know how to be nice to him and actually needs Arnav's instruction to do so (This will be uner revealed section coz I do not wish to think too much of Payal)
So much was unveiled in this update...
(C)
These are the random things I noticed:
Why I believe your story has a ton of melancholia in it for Khushi: 'if Khushi wanted to stay lost, it would be easy for her to. Plus, she had a ton of practice of doing just that for so many year', 'she looked like a rather weary woman', 'But what stood out to him about Khushi at that moment was not how arresting she looked, but how fragile she seemed', 'Like she was barely holding it all together to keep up appearances', 'Which basically means Delhi University gives her no benefits and soon she can be without a source of income' but I am actually saving the worst for the last 😭
How Arnav thinks Khushi perceives him: '
She didn't see him, of course and he was glad for that, because he expected her to bolt if she did', 'Would Khushi think that the known devil was better than an unknown one? He was unsure. The only thing he was sure about what was the devil part', Khushi did take his arm, was it out of politeness or because of the heels that she was wearing, he wasn't sure (he is certain it is not coz she would want to)
', 'He had to smile at her obvious attempt at trying to deflect (his)
attention from her', ' How would she respond to it? Anger? Surprise? Joy? Bored?', 'But the wide-eyed look that she threw his way, and the ragged breath of hers suggested that their proximity was making her.. uncomfortable (now this was good to read 😉)
' and
'Khushi sat down on the bench, Arnav did not. He did not want to make her uncomfortable in any way'I too want to ask Arnav, why? Why do you want to ask her how is she so stoic? Why do you want to know what happened to her after Alchemy? Why would you even contemplate being her stalker in the future? Why did you not hunt her down before if you wanted to talk to her for all these years? Why now? Why iare you worried about her political troubles? Why do you want to return her certificate, cheque, apology and everything you owe her so suddenly? Why did you never reach out to her before? Why now?
Lavanya didnt invite Khushi not coz she would feel awkward among the elites. Didnt Khushi accompany these snob students to Nirula's when Aman invited her? Come on! Khushi studied with these kids! I wonder what happened between these two
Oh good lord! Arnav actually bought Khushi gifts all these years to make her birthday 'somewhat memorable' 😲 And people thought it was Divyesh all this while... YB I have a question here: In one thought in this chapter Khushi thinks 'even Divyesh Thakur gave her a present for the four years that she was at New-Ons' but in another place this happens: "It was you who had bought that Taj Mahal photo-frame didn't you," she said. That is not what he had expected her to say."Yeah," he said grinning at her, "Did you always know?""Yes. Kind of suspected it actually." So, she is talking of only the Taj Mahal photo or all the gifts since he uses the word
always?
Arnav aplogized but why did he start the apology with his mother when she is clearly not apologetic? I dunno but I think if he were adding his mom's name for propriety's sake, he would have mentioned her
after he would mention himself. It's to do with instinct, isnt it? If I am sorry, I will mention myself first then add the suffixes
'She.. I mean.. both of us.. I am sorry for what happened Khushi. It was a misunderstanding that spiralled out of control.' Forget it. I am just thinking too much
Khushi did that five times in the update, this thinking and caring for the other person. Once when she sharply refused Arnav's offer of help, next when she asked after his mother too coz she asked about his father, when she asked him not to feel guilty since he didnt owe her anything, when even though she has a twisted ankle and loads of twisted emotions on seeing Arnav, she doesnt want to trouble Aakash and says everything is alright and lastly when she apologizes to Arnav for talking to him rudely on revealing her past
Khushi is fairly comfortable around Aakash, touching him, hugging him, sharing all her joys and sorrows, accepting gifts... So if Aakash were gay wouldnt Khushi know? Why would she ask him when he is getting married? What's the scene?
Payalll... damn I hate her... So her dad is offering Payal a chance to 'help' Khushi in whatever way he deems fit. He wants Payal to warn Khushi that if she doesnt back off soon she will be finished. Not that I want Khushi to back off but I want to see if Payal will go visit Khushi or not for the latter's good. Or will Payal be busy in fighting her own battles and continue to be oblivious to the price that Khushi will pay for her stubbornness? Wow! Payal has a conscience?? Naah I am sure she didnt reveal her convo with her father to Arnav just coz he didnt tell her his mom's involvement in Khushi's education. Tit for tat.
That update in which Arnav gives Khushi a ride coz La left her stranded in the city on losing out to Khushi? He had been so shocked that La would do something like this to Khushi. What La did was chindi in comparison to what Arnav did. I know La claimed to be a friend while Arnav didnt. I also know Arnav had a Mt. Everest full of MU against Khushi... Still... Khushi, a single teenage girl, in a different city, amongst strangers, miles away from home, with no one to take care of her, provide for her basic needs, soothe her, help her get back home, and not to forget help her if god forbid another bomb would go off. Khushi is right. She was better off at Lal Bahadur Shastri school where no one would have judged her or interacted with her or not just because her father had a mithai dukaan. Those classmastes of her wouldnt have thought of her in a condescending way either just coz she is handling a mithai dukaan today. If she had never left Lal Bahadur Shastri school no one would have '
left (her with)
several hundreds of the athletes who were all sitting, sprawled outside the station as trains were not running'. No one would have abandoned her
'as she sat there amidst the sea of humanity, hugging her backpack.' 😭😭😭
I actually thought of myself in Arnav's position. I actually questioned myself what I would have done. I keep telling myself I would have been a better person. Probably I am correct in my self-assessment or I am just trying to save myself from self-loathing, Coz damn I hate this Arnav... even after relishing his K2H2 moments. I am not surprised Khushi doesnt even want to
'pretend to be friends with him' '
Sometimes it is best to not open old wounds with a sorry' because there are times when a sorry isnt enough
D)
Random ke bhi random thoughts:
The puff sleeve was a personal horror in my childhood. My mom believed it is not a sleeve if it isnt puffed and I would fight with her and throw a tantrum coz let's admit it, puffed sleeves were outdated when even I was little
Giggle giggle. I know girls who can't pull off so much bling and when guys do it and think they look all macho despite it and go about fishing it is actually funny. Now one thing we need to notice here is, in spite of all the flimsy dori blouses a very Bollywoody third cousin of the groom took an interest in Khushi. Kuch toh baat hogi ussme 👍🏼
Oh I have done this. This half truth thing to help people escape unwanted people and places. More giggles
This is how Arnav describes his childhood around Khushi
'he was a fifteen-year-old suddenly, confused, silly and in possession of some rather erratic hormones' Interesting 😆 Yeah... let's reserve that thoda dard hoga ankle twisting in a secluded space after a couple of rabba ves have taken place
'all friendships had some level of manipulation involved in them' Ek dum sahi farmaya mohtarma aapne
'He did not mean to go Alpha Male on her obviously' The ASR of the show will take offence 😆
Khushi doesnt pluck her eyebrows!!! 😲😲😲😲
I hate cake smearing. Dirty, waste of a job 🤢
-----
From burying her past with Arnav to actually wanting to face it with Arnav... the changes in this chapter happened by leaps and bounds. Now do I expect ArHi getting closer as Payal's and Arnav's wedding date nears and Payal's father's political clout shows its colors?
I am sorry for this long comment. I just got carried away
