Arpita I have just no words to describe my feelings for this chapter. Read it now and I am just not able to do anything. It's as if all my energy is just sapped up for the lifetime

For me the highlight of the chapter was khushi's realisation that she felt a sense of relief when sitting alone at a cafe. Is it some kind of premonition? If it is I will gladly take Khushi choosing herself over everyone else

But I can actually relate to her relief. Sometimes well meaning relatives or parents and pressure can make u feel so burdened that u actually feel glad u are alone and away from everyone and everything else. Thankfully the first seed of that relief was planted. I hope Khushi will cultivate this the same way she did her actual plants

Shyam had not changed at all and I hope and pray that his brief entry is done with. He is too creepy somehow

Now Arnav, what can I say, he has f*Ed royally and there doesn't seem any way out for this to him. If he truly had a long affair with lavanya and brings her home then there is absolutely no forgiveness. But but I somehow feel bringing lavanya home might not be true. I feel Khushi somehow got the terrace photos and she has assumed that. Though if they made out on their penthouse terrace that also is very very bad. I think somehow lavanya and Manali never wanted to leave khushi. Somehow they have held Khushi responsible for Arnav's refusal to have anything serious with lavanya and hence this might be some kind of revenge

I will stop guessing though, as whatever might be the reason ultimately Arnav is responsible for this mess as he was the married man and he brought lavanya in between them

Arnav's pain to finally realise he has committed biggest mistake was true. He never does things half way does he? He has messed up his marriage so completely that I can't see a way out at the same time he also was true in his pain as well as his love for Khushi in 2006. Where did this Arnav disappeared when he cheated on Khushi?

Now coming to Khushi. You truly were able to show her helplessness completely in this chapter. How she didn't actually have any say anywhere was really heartbreaking to see. She is ready to stay with her cheater husband and pretend that everything is fine in the marriage shows she has truly accepted in her mind her total insignificance. I hope she will find that spark that led her to fight of shyam and stand up for herself will help her pull through this. But she needs counseling for sure. Writing about Khushi is too much struggle so I will stop now

This kind of string reaction only makes me realise you guy like the story so much. Believe me it makes me happy. And now that you whole lot have made it clear to me that you’re here through the end, no matter what I choose, and you all will be okay with only my version of the story, it makes me relaxed too ♥️☺️

So yeah, please indulge me as I dive a bit more into Khushi’s character.

Irrespective of whether it’s the exact truth, full truth or half truth, Khushi had lived with this heartache. You so correctly pointed out. Her home has been tainted. No amount of cleaning could restore a home from that kind of sin.

What Khushi had felt after knowing all this, we are yet to hear from her POV. She clearly has a lot more affection towards her marital emblems, her duties as a wife and even now towards Arnav. She mused she couldn’t imagine anything happening to him, and all this while she was aware of this adultery. Do I think people are capable of thinking this way towards someone who has hurt them, yes I do. As twisted as it may sound, I’ve met people like this Khushi. I don’t think she has it in her to truly hate Arnav, remember she asked Payal not to break her friendship with him.

Arnav had been right about one more thing. Everything Khushi did after the night of the anniversary was highly atypical of her. He had known his wife of ten years better than we suspected after all. Even though Khushi is not at all a confrontational person, we need to understand It wasn’t a random relationship. It was a marriage of more than a decade. We can often forget in the confines of a story that breaking up a marriage is never as simple. Nobody, even as subdued as Khushi, would ever just agree to it in an instant.

He was prepared for a lengthy talk, accusations and tears from her side. He was ready for her to suggest counselling even. Her absolute give up had alerted him back then too but he didn’t think too much of it because he thought she was overwhelmed with this news. He didn’t think he was entitled to it, but he was correct in assuming that Khushi would have fought for this marriage. Because that’s what a Khushi who had not been hurt by his betrayal would have probably done.

But of course now we know just how disturbed Khushi had truly been to act completely out of character. Her wanting nothing to do with Arnav anymore is the biggest step back a traditional woman like her could take. She hasn’t been able to part ways with her values and marital emblems but she walked out on Arnav right away. Agreed to divorce when she believed marriages lasted seven lifetimes.

And don’t worry about it. I love this kind of comments. 😘😘♥️♥️

Ps- also this is absolutely my personal opinion away from the story, but I will not choose this Shyam over Arnav. 😅

As i said that all my opinions are based on arnav bringing L home to f***, so if he really did that than i find this shyam much better for now but also we don't know what the other things aman wanted to tell about shyam when he said he is a nightmare. Rest about choosing, given an option i will choose none.

This reminds me something i wanted to write for so long but i forget everytime while commenting that khushi has not just lost her husband in arnav, she has lost her first crush,her first love, her only love.

She said once if only she could look into his eyes for more than two minutes than probably someday she will tell him that it has always been him! I wonder if she ever said that to arnav.

And talking about khushi's first love also reminds me of arnav's, there is a saying here in bengali which roughly translates to... whatever God does, does for good. Anamika got saved.

Also as someone said in the comments ( i guess swati), I also found this shift in arnav very sudden like he couldn't even tolerate khushi but one letter and he ran back. May be after arnav's side of the story we can connect the dots.

Rest as i said, i have stopped predicting with all the ifs and buts..you always surprise. There are 'n' number of them going on in my mind but i will stop for now.

Oh f***! Ok i am eating my own words of not predicting but can't help, so i am editing this... Khushi kept the happy anniversary note and the bouquet in his study right, may be she saw something there then, the photos may be somehow.

So apt.

Arpita,

Amazing twists girl! Though you pushed me straight into the memory lane to cry buckets! I will not wish the situation Khushiis in to even my worst enemy, not that I have any… You depicted Khushi feeling powerless,worthless to the T…

And I had imagined many which way show Arnav might have cheated on Khushi, but this was the worst possible way! Bringing the other woman home especially where his wife had given her everything to make home sweet home, her devotion towardsthe marriage and its sanctity! Oh my god, this is something so unforgivablefor any woman, how much ever meek she might be… Surrendered Khushi is going to be Arnav’s worst nightmare now… He had gone too far to even make a come back in my eyes!

It would be interesting to know after assuming Khushi chose a kid over him, did he continue with Lavanya? Lavanya must have tried everything to pursue him in last 3 months or Manali’s actions put apermanent dent? Initially Arnav only asked Lavanya to stay low for few days during initial divorce application so just curious! How did Khushi get to know, Did Aman tell her or Lavanya / Manali sent her pics / texts anonymously? Waiting for the reveal.. Khushi should let Arnav find on his own and not tell him like last time..

You surely won brownie points with Khushi’s heart wrenching confrontation to Arnav and dialogs were super!

Khushi hurting her own hands to get rid of other man’s touch versus Arnav getting the other woman to his home belittling his wife! Stark contrast, Khushi, the epitome of loyalty versus Arnav, the despicable betrayal!

Khushi even now can choose to study or do something on her own to come out of these feelings and be herself! He is not worth it! She hasn’t realized her potential; she was able to walk away from Arnav with her head held high, showed guts to face Shyam after tramatized past with him, stood up to him and rejected him on his face! Bravo…

Now that she is back in Mumbai, shehas other ways to live life which will be less pathetic in her own words…

- Swati

Where was this? Which chapter?

Am i missing or forgetting something?

Tbh I am unable to relate this Arnav to 'our' Arnav. The Arnav in IPK was jerk of highest order that's true but one thing I could feel absolutely without doubt was his loyalty. He would never cheat...ever. hence I am taking this story as a standalone story 😉

Hey Puja

Nice work with your predictions. Arpita got us so involved in this story it’s bordering on obsession (atleast for me). I religiously come back to read comments and her replies.

I kept going back to the previous chapters and I also came to the conclusion that she somehow found out on the day of the anniversary and it was so shocking and heartbreaking for her that she agreed to the divorce so quickly almost instantly. I feel maybe not only was she heartbroken but given her insecurities about not fitting into his new world she might have thought Lavanya maybe a better fit for Arnav and if he likes her then let me get out of the way?? Just speculating.

But I never thought of this possibility that she went to leave her letter in the study and stumbled upon the pictures until you pointed it out. Now that’s a big possibility and the reason for her distress and immediate conclusion that he wants to separate to go to Lavanya?? But even when she tore out the rest she left the ‘I love you’ part in the letter. Was it a goodbye I love you enjoy your life with Lavanya.

Oh my god - do you see what you have done to us Arpita. All I can think about is this story as I go about my weekend. You are killing us. I am going to be a mess by the 2weeks you said you will take before the next update. 😭

Absolutely. No second guesses in it.

This is something i have said in a very explicit way after the chapter that ends with arnav confessing to akash that he slept with L. (I feel so disgusted in even taking both of their names in a single sentence that i always write L.) The whole character of arnav in the show was a product of 'cheating', whatever he became, he became that way because of the repercussions of cheating, so no he can never cheat.

Sorry I am back with just one more point.

"I couldn't have been more wrong," she whispered, her voice resolute as her eyes remained locked onto his. "Today, I realized, Arnav, that my life and I are worth nothing if you are not standing by my side."

Forgetting that they are getting divorced now, or that Arnav has cheated, forget everything. Take out Arnav from this picture, totally.

So who is Khushi? This question she has to ask herself.

Let's say her father had not found Shyam and found someone else, a little more decent, then would Khushi have married him? Then would she have accepted being Mrs (new guy) all her life? And allowed him to take all decisions on her behalf?

Who is responsible for her being just someone's daughter or wife all her life?

How different is she from the other women in her village or even her mother?

She is questioning the actions of her mother or the women in her village. But she is no different from them, why?

Khushi really needs to question herself.

Hello ❤

I am already obsessed i guess, i obsessively read all the comments, the replies just everything. I feel happy when people comment & discuss as if it is my story and i am the writer.

Yes, insecurities can play a part. You are right. And it is there in the prologue she did went to his studies to keep the letter. Though i still can't wrap my head around that why she still left the ''I love you'' and ''I am the luckiest woman" part. But you are right, may be she took it as, he love lavanya and will be happy with her.

Oh yes, writing this also reminds me- when aman saw her coming from somewhere he did mention that 'khushi bhabi looked like she was crying and then she asked him if he was heading for divorce'. Kind of sums up right? So if we put all the happenings in seqence-- She went to study to give the letter, saw the evidence regarding his affair, cried and while coming back got aman and asked him about divorce.

Even arnav asked her again and again that why she ask aman regarding divorce particularly and she kept on dodging the question and he did felt that she may have just lied through her teeth.

Kudos to that woman for keeping mum for straight 3 months. Endurance level!

This chapter was too real! The entitled carried by men like Shyam, the beliefs held by Khushi's family.... All of it is still a reality in a large part of this country. Hats off to you for such hauntingly real writing.

And Khushi knows about Lavanya 🤯
