New ArShi FF: Birds of a Feather Link to Thread 2 on Pg. 1 [20/04/'20] - Page 72

Loved it.. amazing storyline.. hope they form a bond...

Very nice update. It’s nice to see story with both leads with full of faults. I am not sure why everybody is saying Arnav is bad with Khushi. Just like she said the five steps .It’s fairly common to go through grief when u loose someone close. As we all know we know what happened with Khushi , but Arnav is not treated any better by Khushi. Arnav atleast realized his mistake to certain extent. Even in his grief he just showed her mirror. She did make a deal with her father, that no one knows. Coming to Anjali, even though I understand her concern , her push did help Khushi. It’s always easy to leave people to their fate. But foremost important thing these two need is communication. I hope Khushi takes it positively and does not leave Arnav. All the peace she is having at professional front is all because of Arnav.

Thanks

You are a wonderful writer. The way you express each character's emotions is just mind blowing. It is a delight to read your story. Keep writing :)

Hi there, reading and commenting on a story after years! Spent the entire morning finishing 28 chapters..rite now I’m totally overwhelmed by the depth of emotions displayed here. SO many thoughts running thru my head.

To begin with, I appreciate how u’ve made Arnav n Khushi imperfect like real humans. Each had their own set of struggles which shaped up their personalities. Hence, I wasn’t taken aback when either of them behaved unreasonably cos I can see where it’s coming from. The pace is perfect too with enough insight into every character and certain details kept under wraps.

I do wanna see Arshi’s journey moving forward but maybe in different directions. Reason being Arnav’s immense love for Myra and them being on the verge of having a family. I personally feel it’s impossible to move on peacefully with another person after this. Its unfair to Khushi as well who deserves someone thts hers in every sense. Anyway, not all stories hav leads ending up on the same page. They can just be an interesting phase in each other’s lives..learning together, sharing fond memories n then moving on while maintaining the friendship. Nonetheless, looking forward to what u’ve written ahead :)

Update please 😭

Hope all is well!

Coming to the update, it is an eye opening chapter . With last chapter I almost forgot that khushi was no shy bride waiting for her Prince Charming not that she would not have welcomed it. I would say some point arnav will definitely feel lucky to have a wife like khushi, who had zero expectations from this marriage. Had it been otherwise arnav would have to even deal with bigger emotions.

I loved khushi in this chapter .... so clam n composed while dealing with such an issue.

Congrats on being first this time 🤗

Hehe yeah, we tend to forget Khushi's faults because most of the chapters are written from her POV... but to other characters in the story, she doesn't come off in the best light. Arnav already feels quite lucky that Khushi doesn't have any expectations on him, and that's what gives him enough strength to go seek closure from Myra... he will voice it to Khushi sooner than later, after all they are making good progress (even though they are fighting 😆)

I loved the chapter. It was high time both Arnav and Khushi spoke about Myra and they BOTH needed to hear some things. They are both at fault. And I absolutely don’t want Arnav and Khushi to fall in love just because this is an ARNAV KHUSHI story lol. Girl take your time. Build the relationship as it should be. This pacing is perfect. And I loved how flawed your characters are. That’s what makes them so relatable. Khushi is not perfect and sure Arnav has many flaws too but that’s ok because we don’t need a fairytale here. We need realistic stories. They’re having a rough time right now but sometimes those are the best relationships because they will both grow together as partners (wether as friends or husband and wife).

Continue soon! Cannot wait!

Bizzy

Thanks so much Bizzy! Sometimes it's hard to write a story like this because the ArShi fandom is so intense about wanting only Arnav and Khushi 😆 I mean, I am the same, but I want them to fall in love gradually like you said... that tends to be the best part of a love story 😉

"They’re having a rough time right now but sometimes those are the best relationships because they will both grow together as partners (wether as friends or husband and wife). " - I loved this ❤️

Your story is fascinating! We are all so hung up on the notion of infallibility and the concept of a perfect and eternal love that accepting human frailties in our lead characters is not easy. The way you have shown them both holding up mirrors for the other has been very interesting to read. We like to focus on actions in isolation, because it's the easy way emotionally. But, life is rarely that simple :(

I agree with Khushi in the adjectives she's used for Arnav. Childish, immature. But I want to add naive to all of that as well, I think. Should I?

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS 🤗

And to be very honest, I was the same... I really believed love was perfect and eternal (thanks to all those romantic movies/ novels), but I have never seen it in real life. In fact, in today's world break-ups and divorces are so common. Your forever/ soulmate may not just be one person. And that is exactly Arnav's problem here... in addition to grieving for Myra, he is not understanding that love doesn't need to happen only once, which is why you can go ahead and naive to the list 😉

Arnav got involved with Myra as a way to have his own say and to be out from under his father's thumb. It may have been about rebellion than anything else. When he imagined the baby, why was Myra not represented? If he loved her so much, would he not have wanted at least something of hers in the baby?

Very nice catch! The shock that his girlfriend of 6 years didn't think he would want to know about the existence of his baby made him question everything... especially their relationship. That's why he doesn't imagine her traits 😊

Thank you for replying.. Yes i have many questions and I will be waiting eagerly for all the updates to get my answers..

Ok so it was myra who left arnav and not the other way ..

I really don't want khushi to suffer anymore.. I hope arnav does realize he was harsh with her for no reason.. She was trying to help him.. And his family i don't know what to say about them ..

&did he really believe that what he said? Its khushi s fault that she didnt stood up against her father & married him? How could she stood up against her father when she had lost her mother while doing the same thing.. She must not be having any courage left to do so after losing her mother ( by the way how is mrs gupta doing?) also the only soul who understood was not with her anymore..

I dont believe its khushi s fault in any way.. Or should i say i am not convinced that khushi is at fault & arnav is in the position to blame her!!

Until last two chapters i did believe that khushi got lucky to get arnav as her husband... He was difficult initially but was really sweet later on.. To convince her in pursuing her career and giving her a friend in hin that she needed... But what is he doing now... Depriving her of her friend and making things worse for her...

Arnav has a doting family.. I wish khushi had someone to care for her too..

I know what you mean, and trust me, Khushi won't suffer - she is tough. Life taught her how to take care of herself!

Everything Arnav said to Khushi, he said with half-knowledge. He knows that Khushi's father is strict, not that he literally forced her to marry him. Remember, when he got Khushi an appointment at the hospital, he asked MULTIPLE times why she quit her last internship and Khushi doesn't tell him. So you can't really blame him for not knowing... both of them are not ready to share their secrets yet. If Khushi doesn't want to be blamed, then she should come clean about her circumstances, not just blame Arnav for everything.

You know, Khushi is still lucky to get Arnav... because with her father's mentality, there is a chance she would end up with another orthodox male chauvinist. But Arnav is anything but that... the fact that he is grieving so much for Myra shows how much he values love in his life. Once he gets over this chapter, and trust me he will for time heals everything, he will show the care and concern Khushi needs 😊

Originally posted by: hatelove2012

Wow what a wonderful update. Both are feeling as they are victims in the hands of their father. One being sick and other being male chauvinist. And now they both are stuck. I feel like Arnav wasn’t really in love Myra it was his way to show that he can be his own person. I am sure that he had feelings and loved Myra too but not like soulmates. Well can’t wait to see how each one of them moves on. What Arnav said to Khushi was mean but two can play the game.

"I feel like Arnav wasn’t really in love Myra it was his way to show that he can be his own person." - I LOVED THIS!! 🤗

Although we are yet to know the nature of their relationship, you do get that sense from the way he remembers her... of course, we will know for sure after the next few chapters 😉

You have no idea how much your story is helping me personally.

You write brilliantly! Even if it's all pain/anguish/terror/gut-wrenching horror you make us feel the same emotions that go through your characters.

With each update, I'm just confused as to who to support. Each one has an equally huge baggage which they need to sort.

It's so Tangled. I hope they untie the knots and walk towards a blissful life. I know that's the end, but, I'm interested in seeing how it's going to happen.

Cheers

THANK YOU 🤗 I try my best 😳

And Im actually very happy you are confused on who to side with 😆 I don't want Arnav or Khushi to be wrong, it's just the circumstances that forces the best or worst out of them...

Now this was one hell of a chapter!

The stages of grief for Arnav was explained so well... i love that both Khushi and Arnav are so raw and real in this story.. the fact that Khushi could get Arnav to snap is telling too ;)

And about the last part of this chapter.. it cannot get lower than this .. it can only rise from here i hope... I am excited to see who thaws first between the two broken souls...

Thanks so much ❤️🤗

It is actually very telling that Khushi made Arnav snap, Anjali came to the right person 😉 And I promise, it will rise from here. I think both of them needed this confrontation to reevaluate themselves.

This was a very nice chapter. The pace in which the story is moving is perfect... I like that they both are flawed and are relatable characters. Though Arnav is the one with too many flaws giving tough time to Khushi and his family. Let them evolve as true friends and share their problems first then we can start thinking about their relationship... I am just eager to know how Arnav comes out of this grief...

Thank youuu ❤️ As much as we all want them to fall in love, like you said they have a lot of things to sort through before that... and they will 😊

wow...wonderful update as always my dear. loved how khushi took initiative to at least talk to arnav even though he was totally a jerk to her. khushi really shouldn't be listening to anyone (arnav's family) & stick to what she feels. she is quite intelligent to make informed decision about her so called married life. arnav really needs to man up here.

thanks again dear

Thank youuu ❤️ Although Arnav was very rude, he acted out of anger... he doesn't know what Khushi's situation is with her family (even though he asked repeatedly why she quit her internship, she never tells him the truth). So, we can't fully blame him. No one likes to be pointed out that they are wrong and both of them are very far from being honest with each other 😒

Hi hi hi

I am reading this update the 2nd time in IF

I fail to understand why Lavanya, Anjali, khushi always intrude into Arnavs day to day activities

Give him time, he just got to know that his girlfriend of 6 years was pregnant with his child, he for one was desperate to bring a closure/find solution to the way it ended between myra and himself

Arnav definitely needs time to get in terms with what he got to know from.Ira

Just because he is in charge of a empire doesn't mean that he can't be human, he cant just shrug off the info he got from IRA and behave normal

Why all the ladies jump to help Arnav even when he doesnt need it,

Did he ask for their consent before falling for Myra? Come on, slow down a bit, this arnav will definitely know to deal with issues

I dont understand why khushi got so worked up with his behavior and called him childish, even from her end she never tried to be open / gave Arnav full details about her plight with her father (only v reader knows her past) 😅

Looks like Khushi got offended to know Arnav was not ready to talk about Myra, without knowing his past, calling Arnav childish is uncalled for (may she has started missing him)

Btw, did she tell Arnav when he was shocked to see her mom lying like that!!!

Looks like this Arnav is taken for granted, others r not asking for his help / advice but they are ready to intrude in his life

If Arnav is Anjali's baby brother, why she and Lavanya didn't help him to sort out issues with Myra (will get a clear picture when Arnavs past is known)

Excellent update, loved to read about 5 point rule

I saw your comments on wattpad, but gotta say, this is my favourite Sri 🤗

You know it's hard to blame anyone in this situation. Khushi, La and Anjali have no idea about the baby, and Arnav secluding himself doesn't help... they know something is wrong, but they are bound to get alarmed when its been a week and there is no change in his behaviour.

"Why all the ladies jump to help Arnav even when he doesnt need it, " - Agreed. Although Khushi is not as guilty of it, Anjali and La do have this problem... they are too over protective of Arnav because he is the youngest

Khushi calling Arnav childish is justified in her view - she knows there is a girl called Myra that he is in love with, but she doesn't know why is pining for her, instead of just winning her back. Again it's a lack of information.

Both of them have the same problem - they conveniently forget what they have done and are blaming the other for their problems, but then again, that is every married couple 😆

I am so happy you are on Arnav's side btw... bitwas has very few supporters so far 🤣

Thanks so much K ❤️

I think everyone sympathizes with Khushi because the story is written mostly from her POV... we are yet to see Arnav's past and why he is made some questionable decisions. I am hoping after that is revealed, there will be more sympathies with him 😆 You are absolutely correct about communication! And I think they will get there very soon...
