Makes sense.

There was a mention in the story that they tried for few months for baby since March,15 so few months should be atleast minimum 3 to 4 months right, which becomes june-july. By 18-Dec,15 he was ready with the divorce, he had his lawyer on board...so (if our assumed time line is true) it took him only 4 months to develop an affair with L, sleep with her, think about getting a divorce and then act on it. So basically 10 years of everything got overshadowed by 4 months.

Yes things were not good before but it was not that bad right..it went down the hill after the ''let's get khushi pregnant mission" so basically 4-5 months.

Something in me says he wouldn't be a two timing bast*rd.

Let's see what's in store for us.

At this point, even I am curious to know the reaction to the whole Lavanya dalliance once it’s out in the open with no subtext and hints. We know Arnav is Khushi’s love interest in the story. I also like that despite despising him from your very core, you guys are holding out the hope that he wasn’t a sneaking, two timing a hole. 😅😅😅

Does it matter whether Arnav had a ONS or a full fledged affair. Even if it was a ONS under the influence of alcohol or he was emotionally vulnerable, or if he was just looking for a companion.
The bottom line is he cheated, he slept knowingly with other woman.
He did that, decided to divorce obviously once you have strayed what is left in that marriage anyways but shouldn’t he like any decent person discussed it first with Khushi rather than the whole world. Even Lavanya and Manali knew about it.

All this shows that he had not much respect for Khushi or his marriage.

Even if he misses Khushi now, as he says travelled miles to get her back, went back to the place he hated, doesn’t earn him any points.

He got her back from the clutches of Shyam, Thanku very much but that’s it. It doesn’t mean he deserves any second chance.

For a marriage to work two people have to work on it, there are certain sacrifices to be made, after all this just because Khushi is a woman why should she make any sacrifice. If roles were reversed would Arnav make any.( hell he did not make even when things were good, when he felt having a baby will sacrifice his wishes, see what he did)

But may be after the end of this fiction I might understand a different point of view.

Really true, even I like the 2006 Arnav ji but this ASR is disgusting!! I don’t see any redemption… but I am curious how he took such a nosedive in his character within few months…. And if he had been sleeping with lavanya and then with khushi occasionally… nothing is worth saving this relationship!!!

I am curious why was khushi still going to lucknow even when their relationship turned bad to worse. Didn’t she say lavanya was with Arnav at their house 🤢 while she was in lukhnow🤮🤮🤮

I am reading the chapters again , and yes every one other than khushi knew about divorce!!! He really didn’t respect her at all!!!!

Ohh yes, i went back to re-read that part...yes it is written, she was entering (the miniscule detailing that arpita has put in) her home (penthouse) when aman saw her. I was under the impression that she was already present in the penthouse when aman saw her.

Where is arpita she has almost ghosted us..😂

He is a sneaking two timing asshole. He was married and committed adultery. I personally think that he wasn’t sleeping with Lavenya at the same time he was sleeping with his wife. Once he slept with her the physical part of his marriage was over. But he is still a SNEAKING TWO TIMING ASSHOLE.

Some marriages do survive infidelity, but you are right, most don’t, and those that do are forever damaged and changed.

Even in the prologue, La calls him Arnav whenever just two of them together, he too calls her La and Lavanya both.. Arnav trying to guess La's mood, siding La but blaming Manali, interestingly they were close enough..

In chapter 8, Arnav thinks - "Trying to shake the bittersweet memories, Arnav walked towards their bedroom. He hadn’t slept in there in months. He had in fact, held himself on the ground floor and refused to go up during the last few months, never seeing the need for it. Now that Khushi had moved out of there, most likely forever, technically he was supposed to go back to the master bedroom. And slowly but surely, he dragged himself there." This to me indicates neither he himself used the master bedroom in Shantivan nor La stepped in there. Not sure about the penthouse & two timing though... But I feel like others he would not two time or take Khushi to penthouse if he spent time with La there. Still curious to know how Khushi got to know his affair and is really misled about the details?

I agree with Arilip - He gave in to lavanya and that hurt his ego!!! So instead of redeeming himself, he sought justification for this in divorce!!! This is exactly why I had a feeling sex was one time but Puja debunked this, after which La is aggressive showing rights on him interfering in his personal decisions ..

I also agree with Tashi, Puja, Coderlady, ofcourse Bollybabe and almost everyone else - Keep the affair aside, he treated Khushi like complete trash in last few months -> deserting her for her desire to have kids, expecting her to give up family too when she is already lonely, staying separate & sleeping with other woman, Giving hopes by not cancelling party, Khushi is last one to know about the divorce that too via his secretary and then suddently reappering in her life after months & expect her to forgive & forget! His mindset was clear, explain to get closure for himself for 10 long years relationship and divorce, he has movd on in his mind and never feels he still loves her...

He needs to put himself in her shoes and think! Ultimately as coderlady said, I am curious to know how cad he really was, how long was the affair & his thoughts during that time, his excuse for his bad behavior with Khushi and most important real reason to not have the baby!

As BollyBabe always wished, I want this Khushi to have everything she desired, as Arnav knows anyone will love her and she should be respected and loved and have a wonderful family adn her own kids!

Arpita, please ignore us being detectives with crazy rantings and give us next chapter asap... You are calm before bringing in the next storm!

and yeah, this is the calm before the storm because I don’t think the story is going to get any easier for either of the characters. 😅

Puja your comments are always, always so refreshing to read because you don’t hold back.♥️♥️♥️ I swear that majority of the suspense is coming to an end. What I can’t promise is that the story will turn happy in the upcoming chapters. I don’t see that happening at all.

Also, I liked that you shared another piece of song/art that reminded you of the story, it makes me happy. Someone mailed me a song too a few days back. She said she could hear ‘tere hawale’ in the background while Khushi wrote that letter and I was just overwhelmed. If you feel like sharing the lyrics with me, please do so. I know translations don’t do justice, but i will try. :) and Please keep sharing such things if you ever find one :)

I am telling you Arpita we all women are probably made of the same substance, the same emotional depth. Life happened to some and probably that made some of us put a sheild to protect ourselves.

The part where khushi was sitting in her room during the sunset looking at the greeneries of uma nagar and thinking about her plants in santivan which leads to arnav i thought about the lines "k saau janam bhi dekta mai tera rasta..." (tere hawale) in shreya's voice.

I never translate Rabindra Sangeet, i don't think i am capable enough & i find it audacious in my part. I don't think anybody is capable enough of translating Tagore is his truest essence.

The song i was reffering to- " Amaro porano jaha chay tumi tai"

roughly translating to, whatever my heart wants/desires is you..It is basically a song of letting go. There is a part in the song which roughly roughly means- "If you don't find happiness here, if you never return again, if you love someone else; then may you get whatever you want, and let me immerge in my sorrow." - this part hits home. We bengali's say that, Tagore didn't just teach us how to love, but also the charm of letting go.

Another song that i relate with this story "Voh tere mere ishq ka ek shayarana daur hi thaa, voh may bhi koyi aur hi thii, voh tu bhi koyi aur hi thaa..."- sunidhi chauhan.

I am deducing my thoughts from the story so far and willing to wait for the insights but couldn’t hold back myself from responding..

Has Arnav ever thought from Khushi's perspective, he dumped his decision on her to not have kids she desperately wanted. And to avoid pressure from family, he further expected her to disconnect from the family just like he did. He didn’t give her proper reason or discussed either to deny kids, now they are rich, can afford plenty of servants, she can take up more responsibility of kids just like she took more responsibility in making the home. Did he step up to talk and find middle ground when he knew his decision is the main bone of content and caused hurt, unhappiness for her too? She clearly asked him will you ever change your decision and care for my feelings? That speaks volume of his selfishness and ignorance too.

In spite she kept trying and trying and when she gave up, he conveniently used it as she too is unhappy and doesn't want marriage; and that is because he did not want it anymore. it was him who distanced her, his way of life is Khushi must abide by his decisions and his choices of lifestyle too.. Khushi had no close friends or family to share and get advise from, she was any day lonelier & more hurt than Arnav because she is the one who is asked to sacrifice the biggest wish any woman can have especially traditional one like Khushi without proper justification.. How many sacrifices is he expecting from her? They both became stubborn not to compromise for the other but in the end, again it was Khushi who thought to fix differences while Arnav chose the divorce that too after cheating...

He had already moved on to satisfy his needs outside the marriage! He knows they both were unhappy and hurting, did he ask himself will Khushi cheat and go to another man to have a baby like he went to other woman for his physical needs?? He knew that she will never cheat on him ever and still he chose to cheat. He could have simply discussed, separated before cheating, dumped the decision of separation on her too as usual, then go to whoever he wants. His dalliance with Lavanya doesn't seem to be one time, his big fat ego or guilt or pride stopped him from talking to his wife across the room but allowed him to sleep with another woman and continue after; in the excuse of hurt, loneliness, and unresolved issues that he himself created in the first place, unbelievable ???

Arnav has gone through interesting personal changes while chasing power and money! He disanced himself from his own family, ghosted his wife of 10 years, most importantly who supported him through his worst days.. The Anamika, Lavanya or any other woman will never be his foundation like that, he knew it. Now even Lavanya was in his life for 6+ years, though she is equally horrible, despicable woman, she was there to warm his bed and to talk as well when he was lonely or whatever; but then he dumped her unceremoniously and ghosted her too... What does it speak about him? The changed Arnav to me is epitome of narcisst behavior; look at his decision making style, self importance & ego/pride, assumptions that suit his agenda, lack of empathy, very few boundaries for himself and the list goes on...

We cannot cover up Arnav's sin and behavior just because he worked hard all his life, so did Khushi. To me, there is no excuse for cheating, period! Sorry if I am coming too strong for a fictional story (I need to do ancestry, I sure have Polish roots, haha ) but in real world the mental toll it takes on the partner that got cheated, takes years to heal and they still keep blaming and asking themselves what they could have done differently, when actually they are not at fault.. This is universal no matter small town in India, London, or California where we live... Let us not glorify cheating, please… The story is of 21st century, more modern and open society where world has become pragmatic, no one dies from heartbreak.. These days divorces or separation are ok in small villages in India too.. I visit India every year and I am amazed how modern and realistic people have become where as people like us who have been staying out for years seem to be more culturally attached. Nothing negative, just an observation..

Arpita this is for you - story aisi likho ki khud ki story pe reply na karane wale bhi crazily reply karane lage.. I am never this serious in real life... ha ha

I agree with everything else you said, but one thing I don’t is the kid part!!!
Having or not having a child should be a couples decision, unfortunately if one doesn’t want it, then the whole thing becomes too complicated!!!

Doesn’t matter how much money you have or how many servants you can afford!!! Child is not a toy to be given to pacify your partner, when you are unwilling. Because a child needs both mother and father a full family…. Knowingly bringing a child in a turbulent marriage is really a treacherous thing towards the child!!!!

I support khushi’s decision to not give in to Arnav’s plan !! But I am curious to know what stopped her discussing the same with him . If she understood it will tough for him , then why let him through the process ?

I read the chapters again and found that that it was easier to read.It is Arnav's story and the women in his life. Anamika was his first serious relationship but it ended because Anamika could not see herself with financially struggling Arnav. Next came Khushi, His marriage with Khushi lasted ten years .He became successful and rich with Khushi's help .She made his house a home where he could relax and study.She managed the household with his meagre earnings.But as Arnav became successful and rich,distance between Khushi and Arnav increased.Khushi could not keep pace with Arnav ,she could not mingle with his pretentious friends(except Akash and Payal) and aquaintances.For him there was no excitement in the marriage.He started looking for excitement elsewhere.Out of ten years of marriage Lavanya was in his life for last six years(?) I think even Lavanya is not going to last any longer.

In the last chapter Khushi has reached rock bottom.She has lost her self respect.The husband she loved did not want her,her parents cannot wait to get her married again. But she refused Shyam Manohar Jha.When Arnav brought her back to Mumbai she told him that she will live there but not with him .She told him that she can not forgive him bringing Lavanya to their home and bed when she was in Lucknow.She will pick herself and move on.

A tomboy Khushi used to climb mango tree and hang upsidedown from the branches ,she would have no fear of bungee jumping. I would love Khushi to go off on her self discovry,bungee jumping,rockclimbing,Paragliding. Would it be great that she ends up paragliding in some resort and lands successfully and comes face to face with Arnav with his latest amour, a man. Just imagine!!!

Sorry Arpita I am jesting. Looking forward to Arnav and Khushi confrontation.They had stopped talking but now only the talking will do.

True🥰

He finally coming out that is best twist🤣

Hey i have thought a lot about it, that why khushi didn't tell arnav that she was in pills and why she kept him in dark. Let me see if i can articulate it properly.

As it was given that their disagreements were growing and so was their distance, and arnav made the distance even palpable by not going to their bedroom most of the nights, going away & not speaking for a week straight. So may be, just may be it was khushi's only way of having him for sometime just for herself, of felling his love, then may it be just physical and in that process lessen the ever growing distance between them.

May be she was afraid that if she tells him about the pill, things would again go back to what they were, arnav will go distant again and she will not have him and feel his love even for that much time (a heart in love does stupid things), which eventually happened right, after they stopped trying for baby, things went bad to worse, so if this was indeed her fear then she was right about him going more distance from her (given the analysis is true).

She thought trying for a baby was arnav's last bit to save the marriage, may be it was her's too, she didn't want to bring a child but wanted to get back her love, her arnav.
