Hi N!

Thanks for the PM.

I felt this chapter captured the essence of every character and gave us an insight into their perspective.

For example, the interaction between Arnav, Anjali, Khushi and her mother revealed the dynamics of their relationships. Anjali is younger than Khushi, but I found her to be wiser than her years. She appeared to be more intuitive and pragmatic than Khushi. Anjali understands, and even concurs to her sister’s reasons for not completely accepting her husband, yet she is able to overlook Arnav’s vices and appreciate him for the man that he could be. Unlike Khushi, Anjali’s judgement is not clouded by her prejudices. Perhaps her handicap has given her experiences that made her sixth sense sharper and she can judge people better than others.

Arnav comes across as an affable person, except when he is dealing with Manohar. His interactions with Anjali left a smile on my face. It kind of reminded me of Arnav-Anjali’s bond from the show, when Arnav sometimes was in a mischievous mood with his Di. He seems to genuinely like Anjali and not just because she is Khushi’s sister. In last chapter, one of your reader (I think it was Sarah) who commented something on the lines of “longing to be belonged”. Somehow, I feel this longing is not just limited to Khushi. He probably misses not having a “normal” family. He is trying to find a place for himself, just for himself, in Khushi’s family. When he told Garima, he is her son, I think he honestly meant it.

Garima’s “word’s of wisdom” to her elder daughter seem to be colored by her own experiences and POV. She seems to have seen bad days, financially. Was she unhappy in her marriage with Shashi or has she turned bitter only after her husband’s demise? She clearly values money a lot more than love. So, it looks like Shashi’s money which was earned in a righteous way was not enough to keep her happy and satisfied. But I think, it will be too harsh of me to judge Garima before knowing her past. So for now, I will give her a benefit of doubt.

I have few more comments about Arnav-Manohar & Arnav-Khushi. Will post them separately.

Wonderful chapter. Humm! Did it answer few questions? May be, but gave birth to more.

Was it really Garima who spoke about Dhak Dhak, heart race, warmth and security?

At the moment she is somewhere between practical and harsh.

Anjali sort of likes Arnav and understands her sister's feelings.

Why was Gupta Roy family in debts when Shashi died?

Manohar married Priya, had Aakash (I have my doubts here), then married Aarti and adopted Aranv, and then went back to Priya had Payal. No wonder Arnav is upset to put it mildly.

By the looks of it, Khushi admired Aakash. Where is he now? Did something happen to him?

If he is an ideal son and admired by colleagues, he can't ignore his sister Payal, can he?

More comments later.

Big round of applause for delivering this update, in spite of what happened two days ago. Take care.

Cheers........

Hi Raji

Still reading the update but Garima is borderline insensitive. Calling her deceased husband worthless, is by no means a good sign

EC, I agree I was very mild with my words. But, I will wait until I know a bit more about Shashi and the reason for their debts.

Cheers........

Khushi was smitten with Akash and ended up having to marry Arnav who she considers a spoiled brat. Arnav has failed to earn her respect so far and she doesn't think he is good enough. She will not be impressed until she sees him work for something.

I have a feeling it’s mostly his honesty. Like Khushi says, ‘ he was an honest man, at least respect that.”

Maybe, Shashi didn’t take monetary favours from anyone unlike Manohar. And that might have left Garima in the wake of nothing

Btw, I wonder if she really likes Arnav or it’s only for the money 😵

Yes, Arnav has his work cut out.

It will be tough to match the popular Advocate Akash.

On Manohar, I still have my doubts.

Why did he go to Priya after Aarti?

No wonder Arnav detests him. It’s more like, he was waiting for Aarti to get out of the way and go back to Priya ?

OH MY GOD

Is Manohar the reason why Aarti died? 😲

Thanks for the pm N
