Hi... congratulation on thread 2 😊

Sorry for a delay in reply... read chapter two in one go and was very interesting.... come back to chapter 2.... i feel khushi loves arnav but it because of her insecurities she cannot accept it... may she cannot get over Arnavs earlier life style.... coming to Aman Mehra dont know whether he is really arnavs best friend because him talking about arnavs past in front of khushi was not really nice no best friends would do that... but i will wait and watch to see how his character shapes in the other chapter....coming back to arnav agreed he had whatever life he did before he met khushibut he really loves her ... he does have issues with his father and he hates him but i really want to know what happened to his mother......eagerly waiting for the next chapter...

Thank you for the comment

Let me congratulate you on Chapter 3.

By God's grace, you and your family are fine.

I am simply amazed at reading the Note. Thanks a ton. It is the way you write the story that makes us think out of the box.

❤️ Lots of Luv N

Will be back with the comment after reading the chapter!!!

Better late than never...

No, that wasnt for me on updating the comment late, but yes, its meant for me and Khushi too.

Khushi- I am ambivalent about her stance on Arnav and her marriage with him. But this chapter not only cleared the fact as to why she cant or int accept Arnav but also, how she feels about him, and rightly so. I have had my inhibitions about Khushi's investment in this relationship but, its not her fault if she is only physically attracted to Arnav and doesnt really respect him. The 'idle' man needs to give her a reason to her to respect him.

Arnav- God, what do I say about him? He is such an adorable and affable man, that my heart goes out to him. So far, he has only known how to express feelings through sex/ physically and that is exactly what he is doing with Khushi. Loving her and verbalising his love. But that's not enough. I feel, he will soon catch on that something is amiss with Khushi, and work on it. But before that, he needs to establish himself as a man whose responsible.

Anjali and Garima- Two women who have been instrumental in shaping Khushi into who she is and also, the ones who are bonding Khushi to Arnav. Anjali seems white, but its Garima, who might be changing the dynamics of the equations real soon.

Arnav and Manohar- I am going to reserve my comment on them and wait for the story to unfold. As of now, Manohar seems grey and selfish.

Akash- Ah, the man who has evoked a storm within and around, even without making an entry. What do I say, the typical good boy and good son. But is he really that??

N, kudos for this chapter. You have not only brought forth the metaphor between Arnav and Akash beautifully, you have also justified why Khushi and her stance is reasonable.

And only you could have done that. 👏

Hi N,

My Thoughts:

ANJALI:

Firstly what surprised me is Anjali’s behaviour here – She is being actually sweet and nice to Arnav and understanding sibling to Khushi!

Anjali sees true care and love in Arnav’s eyes and reciprocates the same, there is no pretence on both sides!

I see Anjali is actually matured than her age and more understanding in the matters of hearts UNLIKE KHUSHI!

I expected Anjali’s character to be either – she will be (1) in a self-pity mode feeling guilty for all the suffering her family undergo because of her or (2) very straight-forward, rude and blunt.

But man, she literally stumped me with her maturity and understanding!!

Anjali just not only understands Khushi’s predicament in accepting Arnav but also matured enough to advice Khushi in giving a much-needed/ well-deserved CHANCE to Arnav before jumping into conclusions.

The reason I say Anjali is matured – She believes the Arnav she sees and not the masked Arnav what he portrays himself to be for others! unlike Garima

KHUSHI:

The problem with Khushi is she is not letting Arnav see her, know her and understand her (though she is justifiable with the first impression, second impression about Arnav and her rejection to Arnav’s proposal but now that Khushi has entered into a relationship with him – where it’s a 50-50)

Khushi who is not fully into the relationship, she holds back a little fearing the happening of the inevitable (breaking of wedlock), she thinks she is securing the heart from breaking apart but little does she know she is not letting her heart have the love right under her nose!

She clearly sees Arnav with the mask he created for the sake of Manohar, when she see the real Arnav – the vulnerable, kind hearted man who yearns for love and care, its going to be a well deserved guilt-ride and wish she wakes up before it too late!

Khushi is indirectly pictures Arnav in the place of Akash – Akash is good, respectful, warm and honest basically all that not Arnav but not all that glitters are Gold – Akash could also be pretending as Arnav and the intention behind the act is important than the commission of act – She admits she only admired him afar so she would have felt the warm feeling with him but just assumed that Akash would have made her feel warm,safe and secure!

KHUSHI IS PURE JUDGMENTAL ABOUT ARNAV AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP

GARIMA:

Though she seems to be tough, I see her behaviour is just being a typical mother – My mother loves my bickering about love, marriages, philosophy in life but when it comes to serious talks, she feels my understanding and approach is just cinematic and not practical!

Garima with all the bitter experience in life and just being a protective mother to her daughters.

I’m seeing Garima as a disappointed wife and protective mother – She wouldn’t have thought about sacrificing Khushi for the sake of Anjali or for herself, she is just being a mother like anyother – Not all have the luxury to place their principles above her needs, people who follow principles seriously are put to test often and many fall out owing to their needs but only few succeed the test like Shashi – So Garima advice is absolutely right advising Khushi to look for a understanding partner rather than person who makes your heart flutters (Fictional does that to us right) But we knew in reality what is real?!

There are many people who will make one’s heart flutters – silly crushes, infatuations, first love, so-called love, ofcourse fictional character(s) and imposter BUT only the people who actually cares, will think about you, your needs above theirs.

I’m giving Garima, the benefit of doubt as a mother because a mother is a mother at the end of the day, who can never think of any bad for their kids and as a wife, she is disappointed, frustrated one at present.

On the other side, Garima says “No Love and Beauty can save marriages and people, its only money and understanding that counts” – Love and Understanding is about marriages but what about Beauty and Money? Does she hint only about infatuation or something more ?!

I do find Garima being extra sweet to Arnav – which is not as genuine as Anjali! Anjali talks to Khushi for the real Arnav but Garima talks to Khushi for the masked Arnav!

MANOHAR:

He was married to Priya and had Akash, left them behind and came to Aarti who had Arnav and left them again to be back to Priya and Akash and then Payal happened! – I hope this is the gist of Manohar’s wives and children!

On a serious note, Manohar might had a loveless marriage with Priya or a forced one and found love with Aarti?! But circumstances separated/ forced to separate Manohar and Aarti and then Aarti died leaving behind Arnav in Manohar’s custody!

Manohar might have been justifying falling in love with Aarti after his marriage with Priya but going back to Priya and I assume he was not there with Aarti during her last days shows he had a strong reasons to do that, either he believed (1) Something or someone over Aarti or (2) Purely forced for separation without any option!

Though he is with Priya now and Akash takes after him, Manohar dearly loved/loves Aarti and loves Arnav over his other kids – But he is guilty of his past acts and that’s why he is not able to confide the truth to Arnav!

AKASH:

Is Akash being a ideal son of Manohar one of the reasons for Arnav to do all possible things that will embarass Manohar? Does Akash know something Arnav does not, that Akash stands by Manohar and Arnav above Manohar?

MONEY and Legacy have played major roles in Arnav’s life – What Akash always had and Arnav was denied of!

WAS IT A WAR FOR LEGACY?!

If Akash is with Manohar then he is against Arnav – I guess he was/is definitely happy with Arnav’s intrusion in his family and Arnav’s behaviour now!

PRIYA:

All I see Priya has played a great role (dark role) and if i may add, playing.. She who destroyed Manohar, Arnav, Payal lives and if I may add Akash life or afterall for Akash?!!

Lastly:

My understanding is its Arnav who made Khushi’s heart flutters (not in a good way according to her) and its Akash who made her feel warm (not really but by his actions, she assumes he would have made her feel warm ). If yes, then Garima advise would be go for Akash and not Arnav?!

P.S. Busy at work till Friday - Will be back soon 😘
