Nice start
Khushi not ready for the marriage
But decided to go with it
Arnav not giving heed to khushi wanting time b4 getting physical
His reaction to khushis medical report didn't seem real big surprise because of his disinterest with her besides night time
But wondering what's going on in his head
Is khushi like a commodity to him
Was he forced into marriage
Or is there hope he might fall for her in future
Thanks for pm nplz keep em comin

I feel sorry for Khushi - countless women like her are stuck in loveless marriage and sadly have no recourse to their maternal home because parents don't want a married daughter sitting at home. And their plight is terrible because the men in question don't even realise that there is something wrong because for many indian men, a wife's consent for sex is immaterial. It's almost like marriage is a licence to have sex as and when they please and the wife has to comply marital take sadly is a reality and is hugely ignored because families beleive is the man's right to demand conjugal pleasures.

Arnav seems ver insensitive to her and only concerned with his own desires and wants. Almost like he wanted a body to bed and a woman to call a wife socially and for his family.

I think Arnav may not want children also that the doctor may have informed him of her inability to conceive.

Kudos that you are showing a typical Indian man in our society. This might bring out bitterness in some of the readers. I just hope u handle it bravely.

To be truthful Arnav's behavior totally rubbed in the wrong way. A very steoretypical man in this society. Marry a woman who would be a wh**e on the bed, maid in the living room and a cook in the kitchen. He has no respect for Khushi's wishes be it her will to work after marriage or be something as small as consent in sex. I would like to throw some light here that in many Asian countries (including India) marital rape is not a criminal offence. There are many women who go through this regularly and see nothing wrong in it, where there basic human right of a woman is being violated everyday.

I guess Khushi did feel violated. This makes her different from the typical stereotypical. I don't know maybe Arnav cares for her in his own way, but I am not able look beyond the fact that he treats her as a lesser human and more like a commodity to meet his and his family's need.

No, doubt that Khushi was disturbed about not being able to cconceive. But, her out right telling Arnav about the same makes me think she did this because she wants to be out of this arrangement this marriage she believes that Arnav will ask for divorce if she can't give a heir to the Raizada's (that's again a wishful thinking, as Arnav's reaction doesn't validate this thought) Polycystic ovaries is very common cause of infertility in women of today's generation, but its not end of the world. Women with polycystic ovaries do conceive. Especially in her case when she carried a child for eight months.

Waiting for the next chapter and Arnav's complete reaction to the news.

Great Start!

I was wondering that Khushi was innocent to be married at the young age and suffered from lack of his attention or Arnav had mistreated her but you surprised me with the end!

I actually hate stereotypes! Its time to change!!

Waiting for the next part

Great start..it is the bitter truth of some marriages in society..

i don't want to hear about Arnav's caring like he cared about her in a different way here..he is really getting on my nerves..what is the point of marriage here..

Khushi's mother considered it as a duty which should be performed to reduce her burden and he just accepted for fulfilling his son's duty towards the family..great..what is she?? some toy

i'm surprised by the ending..waiting to know what will happen

This is not exactly a love story is it? This Arnav seems to have married Khushi just for one thing and Khushi's consent or comfort seems to be immaterial to him. In this day and age, an educated man behaving this way is a little hard to take. Khushi come a cross as someone who wants to be released from such a relationship and I for one hope she finds the strength to get out. Maybe then Arnav will learn to read his wife's feelings and try to redeem himself. Actually scratch that..I am not looking forward to a happily ever after in this story.

Loved this concept.A very much self centred Arnav and a vulnerable Khushi.This shot is from Khushi's point of view.She is a normal girl who craves for love and care from her husband.Instead she got only ignorance. Never cared for her consent during physical intimacies.He had only cared for her during her second pregnancy .Sadly,such peoples do exist.😔

We,ArShi fans, lives in a fantasy world of magical unconditional love of Arnav and Khushi.And this story deals with the harsh reality of life .Kudos to you to come up with such a real concept .👏

PCOD is not an incurable disease .With proper treatment,proper diet regimen and proper exercise ,most of the patients can conceive .

Waiting for the rest of the story .Hope to read it from Arnav's point of view too ...
