Hi N,

My Thoughts:

1. KHUSHI'S UNDERSTANDING ON -

(a) Arnav: Khushi, as everyone thinks Arnav is living the luxuries life without any motive in his life - Arnav has a motive in life and a wrong one, but the point is Khushi has not seen / understood his motive yet for her to realize her husband at all - At present I see Khushi is true to her relationhip despite not giving her heart to her husband, she knew exactly what Arnav doesn't know (Shyam's enemity towards Arnav) - ARNAV IS SEEING MANO AS HIS ENEMY THAT HE FAILED TO SEE HIS ACTUAL ENEMY HAS REACHED HIM SUCESSFULLY - Glad Khushi saw what Arnav clearly missed to see in the cloud of his revenge!

WORD

(b) Aman: I'm not at all amazed to see Khushi finding about Aman and his selfishness already - I see, Aman is one who paved the way for Arnav getting the tag 'womaniser' and has been with, by and behind Arnav for all the wrong paths - I don't know how sure Khushi is about Aman bringing Shyam in Arnav's life, is it Aman (knowingly or unknowingly) who brought Shyam into Arnav's life or Shyam who came into Arnav's life through Aman?

I think it is Aman who unknowingly brought Shyam in Bitwa's life

(c) Shyam: Khushi knew about poisonous people in Politics and their share of crime in reaching the position since she is an intern, She has seen the way Manohar and Shyam fought for and against Justice - She as an inkling towards Shyam using Arnav as a pawn against Manohar - If Manohar directly opposed Shyam and his gang (I wonder if Vikram is as important as Shyam here) and defeated them twice then there is a high chance of Shashi was also involved in this war of Justice v. Politics? - SHYAM IS AN ACTUAL POLITICIAN WHO DOES ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING FOR HIS POLITICAL CARRIER - Shyam had rightly caught Arnav in his net to use him as his backup and against Manohar to safeguard himself, though Arnav is obvious to this, Khushi has sniffed it already!

Methinks Shyam is seeking revenge from Manohar by hitting where it hurts him the most - Arnav

(d) Akash: Khushi and Akash seem to have many things in common - Like, Passion for profession, admiration towards Manohar, humble, hardworking, judgmental (if, I may add) - The way Khushi described her feeling towards Akash as long lost desire confirms Akash will not endanger Arshi relationship - All I think is Khushi has admiration, liking and even desired someone like Akash for her to give safe, warm feeling but to her disappointment, Arnav is all she got who is all not Akash! Its for Khushi to find out how wrong her judgment is!

Bravo, Aishu- WORD

Therefore, Khushi is half way in both relationship and duties - Khushi could find about Aman's nature and Shyam's intention because of her new found resolve to stay true in her marriage till it last and her sharp mind as an advocate - Khushi, despite guessing the path right will be able to climb because of her wrongful judgments about Arnav and ofcourse retaining her heart despite giving her mind, body and soul to her husband?

In the end, I applaud Khushi for being committed towards her marriage and Arnav but its definitely not enough as her commitment being inadequate will lead her steps blind and unsure!!

Fantabulistic thoughts Aish - I applaud you👏

2. PAYAL -

Payal is the typical child who suffered due to parent's complicated relationship and loveless marriage (if I may add) hence home is anything sweet home for her - She who had understood her parents complex relationship, their contrasting nature, failed to choose the well-wisher and follower correctly - Her comparison between two elder brothers shows how well her judgment is, both brothers love her for sure but the one who find the faults in her and warns her shows who is more matured and rightly so which is undoubtedly Akash and I can't really blame Arnav as he himself yet to see the real faces of people he trusts and understand the dynamics of life in the first place for him explain Payal!

Who is this mystery boyfriend of Payal? Right now, Arnav has only Aman and Shyam with him - If Payal has taken after her mother, has she really found her love? Why do I feel its Shyam because Aman has been with Arnav for a long time and with Payal thoughts, it seems like she has just found love so it is either Shyam or a new one?!!!!

Though Payal has taken after Priya, hope she does not make the mistake of choosing her love/partner like Priya

Don't ask me why, its just a wild guess - is it Vikram? Because Shyam being the middle aged man not suitable for Payal! So that leaves with Vikram or a new one!!

I don't know, Aish.. I think it is someone new because I don't think Payal will be with Aman who is also a womaniser

3. PRIYA -

Priya, born in a wealthy family, cant' think about others and continued to live the life to be an elite - Being an elitist, she who takes a dig at Politics and fell prey to the Politics - Priya's lack of knowledge in Politics, her secured name in society, brought her failed marriage debatable - hence, Priya accepted Manohar to clear her name in public, only a eyewash?

Looks like Priya is head strong, who refuses to bend down to whoever and what may - Her high handedness has already influenced her own daughter and caused the damage - But will she open her eyes to see all these before her folly causes more damages to her family?!

Lovely thoughts on Priya- I think she married Manohar for his name and fame and found that Money did not follow name and fame but only honesty and integrity did

4. AKASH -

Firstly Akash is a mature one as I already told, he seems to be with Manohar and trying his best to control the damages caused/ causing by his sibling against his own father and Kapoor's family - He has his mind right but what about his heart? Did he also suffer like Arnav and Payal from his parent's complex relationship (he should have, either he foregoes it maturely or hides it sadly), but he has turned out to be the consoling son and successor and mainly he is the anchor which holds the Kapoor family together!!

Akash has scored top marks with his introduction by his understandings, thoughts and maturity:)

Lovely thoughts on Akash. He seems whiter than white as of now. What if later on he turns coat and becomes the one who betrays Manohar?

4. MANOHAR -

We sometimes come across some people who were called as Leader(s) who had stood tall and supported for one cause for others despite losing/ sacrificing their loved ones, likes, wishes and own life!

Manohar life seem like that to me - He who fell prey to fate right from his first marriage, his love, his profession etc., despite the struggle, he stays the same and continue to fight against the unjust!!

He knows that what the wrongdoings he suffers and for the play of fate and his determination to fight for justice, he has to face the bigger battle - With time, Manohar will be known and inspired by many!

He who fights for and gets justice for People, is denied justice in his personal life - Irony!

He is paying the price for his mistakes and more, his guilt towards Arti and Shashi should be and will be washed away by Arnav, Khushi along with Akash!!

@ Bold WORD

5. MYSTERY -

(a) Who all are with Shyam? Who is this Vikram? and who are all now in the mission to destruct Kapoor's family?

(b) Is Shyam directly involved in Shashi's death? But my wild guess is, its some-other person who is connected with Politics responsible for Shashi's death and Manohar is aware of it?

(c) Who is Payal's bf? Is it Shyam's ploy to attack Kapoor's family??

(d) Shyam's decision to elect Arnav as candidate is a ploy to face Priya in Politics?

(e) Million dollar question - What is Akash's take on Khushi's feelings towards him? Is he aware of her feelings at all? If yes, did he sacrifice for Arnav's sake? (No, Don't answer, would love to find out myself;))

P.S. Sorry for the late revert, had been busy with hospital visits!!

Super Duper comments, Aishu. My reverts in Bold Blue

Omg Shyam could be the guy with Payal.

Yeah N doesn't do cliches.

Yeah agreed on Manohar and Priya.

And she has agreed to it. Man, do I need to say anything more.

EC, you watched the match! I watched it until first drinks break in Pakistan innings and fell asleep.

I know it was possible, but, wasn't expecting a repeat of SA at Johannesburg in 2006 😊

Back to the story:

When three kids can form three different opinions when they were brought up under the same conditions, it is very easy for 3 kids to form three different opinions when they were brought up under entirely 3 different conditions. The only constant between all three children is Manohar.

We yet to know Priya and Aarti's POV. I know Aarti is no more, but, we will find some tidbits through some one else, right? I know there must be a reason for Manohar to marry Priya, then leave her, then marry Aarti, then return to Priya after Aarti's demise. The kids have a right to know the reasons and until then, they can form their own opinions based on what they saw or what they heard or what they were told.

Arnav trusts Aman, because, Aman was with him since his childhood. There is no one else in his life who was with him for so long. So, Arnav thinks Aman is a good fried and a well wisher. If Aman tells him that Shyam is a good man or changed man, Arnav will believe him. At the moment he is not in a mood to give any credit to Manohar and he does not see any reason for Aman to manipulate him or deceive him.

Aakash is supposed to be unhappy with Manohar as well. But, he is not. That means he is privy of something which others (Arnav, Payal and us) are not.

2. As I said before it depends on Aman's financial status.

3. If Manohar is fulfilling his promise made to someone and if he has to keep it as a secret, then I guess he had to bear the dislike from his other two kids.

Cheers.........

And you have hit SIXES with this comment, Raji

All 3 kids here brought up on a three different circumstances hence that explains - Arnav's hatred towards Manohar, Payal's attitude and Akash's maturity

Arnav has a totally different picture of Manohar painted in his own hands hence he cannot and will not see the real Manohar until someone splashes painting with the mirror

Even I think Akash has a secret (may be none of them aware of)

Loved your take on Manohar

You have opened the floodgate of emotions wrt Arnav.

Kudos, you have worded it so well.

Thanks N. Arnav's character is very complex

Originally posted by: Fe-en-Dios

Bereft of love, so true. Arnav is not to be judged.

And yes I remember how in chap 2 you gave Aman a benefit of doubt.

Lets see what is in store

Hmm Let us see what you have in store for Aman

Hi there

A warm welcome to N's stories. Looking forward to having you here and interacting with you

Manohar is quite old as compared to Shyam, whose probably somewhere between Arnav and Manohar's age

Raji

Looks like Shyanjali is out here. It cannot be Shyam with Payal or Anjali

The charm of this story lies in the simplicity of the characters and the complexity of their relationships. The wistfulness of each character makes you connect with them on such a personal level.

Thank you for sharing this gem.

Hi

A very warm welcome to N's stories. I am sure you would have dropped a PM to the author for continued access

Whoa, no wonder you are turning out to be N's star for Withered 👏

Those lines on Akash were so true. I ad the same thoughts but didnt really pin point that.

Hmm, so why is Akash babua so nice when Arnav and Payal arent. No, he can be. But with Manohar being not--so-nice with him, its a mystery why he is like that.

You know what, I have a feeling that Arnav will have a tough time both, professionally and personally and maybe, Khushi will leave hm too. N has confirmed a long and painful separation and I am dreading that nw. 😭

Thanks EC🤗

Yes Akash is certified mysterious guy atm😆

Yes Arnav has to wake up with a jolt with realization and he will be stuck professionally (Already in the clutches of Shyam) and personal life (Khushi's non reciprocal to Arnav's love)

I think its Arnav who will leave Khushi but yeah separation is confirmed for them get united strong
