Kerrie, I love..love these lines..."I want the "not nice" I did to lurk around...way in the back... so I never repeat it again" Brilliantly expressed.

Hi Kavi,
Thank you and apologies for a delayed response.
Yes, Arnav's introspection and resolve to set right the wrong and ease the pain he has caused Khushi is commendable.
Khushi understands his cruel words/actions and has already told him, but her fear is for the future.
<font color="#0000FF">"And", she paused and inhaled deeply, struggling to hold the pieces of her crumbling face together, "And if I do decide to get back with you, how will I believe, how can I believe, Arnav, that every-time I make a mistake, every-time I hurt you unintentionally, every-time I do something dumb, you wouldn't set out on this deliberately destructive path again...hurting me..hurting yourself? That you wouldn't be compelled to draw comparisons between me and La..your past? How can I believe that your cynicism will allow you to keep faith in my love, in relationships, in us? I'm afraid, Arnav. I'm afraid for me, for us, because I don't think I will be able to take this pain again. I'll die...".</font>
My thoughts about the proverb you quoted...
To err is human - totally agree
But to forgive is divine - forgiveness is multifaceted, depends on the grievance and not to be taken lightly. Only God is divine.
Bygones and starting all over again; The past, good and bad is responsible for making us who we are today and should not be selectively "bygoned".
I believe what Arnav said,
<font color="#0000FF">"Let's make memories...Let's make enough happy memories to help us live thorough the painful ones".</font>
I want the "not nice" I did to lurk around...way in the back... so I never repeat it again.
As Jen said, this phase of Khushi and Arnav's life is that of "realizations".
They love each other, but since love alone is not sufficient for a happy successful relationship they need to and they will spend time together to really know and understand each other.
Also, TRUST once broken or damaged takes time to rebuild.
