Start of the Revelation, Redemption, Remorse, Acceptance, Justification etc.

I liked how the chapter was staged. Astha arrives and reveals the latest "play" by Lavanya.

I am surprised by so much guilt feeling by Arnav even before the revelation of Khushi's name in the note. It's not the first time he had an outburst.

"And it was all his fault. Again." - Well, hate to say it but he is right. He has allowed his life to be manipulated and controlled for several years. She knows how to play him well and she has the upper hand every time. Arnav and his goodness is so abused and she is a scab hard to get rid off.

"If a son is surprised by his mother's unconditional love, her conditional support, at a time like this, she thought, then it's certain that something went wrong, very wrong, with their relationship." - Astha's realization before Arnav opened up about his life and Aarav's truth. This made me happy for Arnav if not Astha. Hoping she will stand tall with him against the Kashyap clan. One thing I have to say about Astha and Arnav is that in all the differences that existed Arnav never treated her with disrespect and always accepted who she was and their communication never broke down. Loved his straightforward and honest talk with his mother. Must be such a burden off his chest and that must bring forth a new energy and strength to move forward. Proud of Arnav here.

"There were issues to be resolved, people to be taken care of, a life to be lived. He didn't have the luxury to give in to weakness." - Waiting for the next chapter(s) to see what he does. He doesn't yet know that Khushi and the Guptas already know and about Manya's visit.

Chapter started off with pain but ended with strength - Go Arnav and Astha!!

Well done Jenny. 👏
