Resurgence | Arshi FF | Thread 1 | Thread 2 link posted on page 149 - Page 92

Now I have couple of questions for you guys

1. Some shady photographer took those photos but how does he know where to be at exact moment to capture their intimate moments?

2. This seems almost planned isn't it

3. If that's the case who could tip him off? Lavanya, Manali or Aman?

4. Who send those photos to Khushi? Lavanya was worried about those photos so I doubt she is the one. Is it Aman. He thought Khushi as his sister and wanted to tell her the truth?

5. Or is it completely new person who wanted the seperation and just used the affair for his/her motives

6. Someone wanted to make sure the seperation happens at any cost. Arnav was going to talk to Khushi about his affair and have told that to lavanya too so I doubt it was lavanya.

I disagree with your point that lavanya and her pa's stupidity forced khushi into shyam fiasco. Because ultimately Arnav's action lead to it. Even khushi readily agreeing to divorce was because she knew he cheated. Otherwise khushi wouldn't have gone through divorce with out trying. And you called shyam monster, then I don't have adjective for Arnav. Infact I am doubtful who is better of the two devils. Shyam's wife wouldn't have endured a pain like khushi did.Every thing happening in khushi's life is a Domino effect of Arnav's infidelity.And knowing the kind of affair he had to decide whether Arnav requires pity sounds funny to me. Suppose Arnav had a lethal disease and want khushi to hate him or so, it would have been justified.But I believe the reason is that he is just flawed.

My heart just breaks for Khushi though. She didn't deserve any of this. Not the way she found out about it.on her anniversary day and when she has decided to take the efforts to bridge the gap. She is traumatized by it and I doubt she ever will regain her self confidence and self worth again

I am not sure how Arnav is going to proceed either. He has realised he cannot stay away from Khushi but if she has given up then is he willing to put herculean efforts to rebuild the relationship

The first 10 years of their marriage shows the efforts Khushi made to make the marriage work and make his home, does the story now will show Arnav's efforts?

Is the title alluding to not an individual's journey but a resurgence of their relationship?

Thank god, you and Bollybabe75 think like me... I tried every which way but I can't cut any slack for this Arnav, period! Khushi is guaranteed better off without him, else he will do it again the very next disagreement!

And as I had predicted long back, Khushi is already blaming herself - Had she really messed up this bad?

And look at his hypocracy - asking her to reach penthouse early to meet his important guests and he planned to tell her about divorce next day!

As i said before anamika got saved. She must be happy somewhere with her children and husband. I so wish she make a reappearance to show him his place.

As we have calculated swati, it actually took him just 2-3 months of extreme fallout to move on to L. I could have you know, just could have cut him some slack if it was an one time thing in a moment of weakness (i am no way saying it would have been any less of a sin) where his wife was away for days when things were so bad between them...but this??...taking her to his favorite joints, bringing her to santivan, opening the door of the car for her, holding her in his arms, and the list goes on....NAAHHHH NEVERRRR.

Just hoowwwww cruelly he has behaved with khushi in her own home..

The dialog by kashi bai-- "Jaang ke maidan mai khoye huye phir bhi mil jaate hain, lekin jo apne he ghar may khojaye voh kabhi nahi milte".

Did the Nepal trip was also with her?

For me he has just become on of those CHARACTERLESS SC*UNDREL

Period.

Hey ! I have never said he is right . He has gone ahead and done the worst. There is no justification for his deed , not in the available chapters at least.

But I refuse to the bechari part of khushi!!!! Their marriage is 10 years old and they were happy for at least 8 of them. I refuse to believe that it was just because of khushi. If that’s true !!! There is no point pining for such a man. He wanted to end things with khushi but by the time he get to it things spiralled out of control. Ppl have different ways of thinking. Something happened to bring drastic change in Arnav about his family, I am sure khushi knew what. And if he didn’t want or believe what his family wanted of him, why force him. Khushi kept on trying to bridge the relationship with his family, even when their marriage got into trouble because of it!!! She kept quiet but she did expect a lot from him. She wanted him to attend the functions he didn’t want, because ppl are talking!!!! She kept expecting him to come around for the baby issue for 9 years!!!!! You can’t have the cake and eat it too….. if baby is important then you fight for it and accept the consequences!!! If he was important then make efforts to assure him of the same.
khushi was good housewife, excellent bahu, star human being for ngo work, but she failed to become true companion to her husband. I reiterate she didn’t deserve the way it happened but separation was inevitable. They both failed at the communication part of the marriage. No being available to talk is not enough!!!! You have to talk , reach out.

Responsibilities of Arnav was completely different from those of khushi!!! Arnav was supposed to take those responsibilities, she took them willingly. She made the house into a home for him , he broke his back to provide for her and the family. She took dabba business he made efforts to help her every step!!! Even after his gruelling schedule . He kept on doing his responsibilities even after getting disappointed with his family. It takes toll on anyone and if the person you thought your own doesn’t understand or still keeps expecting more than you can do , takes toll on you. He genuinely believed khushi wanted baby and family more than him , how that come about if khushi was clean about her stance. He believed it so much that it became so sore that he cut himself off from khushi because he was incapable of fulfilling her expectations!!!! Khushi only came to terms with it after he cut himself off, still she didn’t come clean with this. He would never have gone to Umanagar , had it not been Shyam she was getting married to. The very reason he asked aman to find out about her suitor , even after getting the letter and coming to realise that he cannot live without her .Everything after he cut himself off or take time out to reach some resolution was caos , I am still sure he didn’t want a relationship with lavanya but he did find some companionship in her, that he slipped was his major fault. Murder under extreme circumstances is pardoned. Think about what khushi did after she got to know this, if you loved someone and letting them go just like that i understand the hurt. But next moment she gave in to her parents and got ready to marry!!! Where is her backbone!!!!

It’s clear that there was something sinister going on with that. Pics don’t do justice to any situation, and to a shattered mind it can show you what you assume. And these pictures were taken for that purpose!!! It would be definitely interesting to see how Arnav/ lavanya relationship was or if there actually was any!!

Prologue clearly specifies he was preparing for divorce for months, his friends knew and disagreed, his secretary, hired lawyer even La and her secretary knew... So things spiralled out of control is an excuse unacceptable. He conviniently did not find time to tell the person who needed to know first, how ironic! Instead of behaving she doesn't exist for month or ill treat her, he could have simply told her, isn't it?

The last major fight about baby, he could simply suggested separation and warned her that she will need to marry another man if she wanted a baby! The message would have been bold and clear for Khushi!

They both broke their baks for the family, not him alone.. She worked equally hard to make home, did everything herself, tried dabba service to help him and so on.. Hell, she even chose common ward during her recovery from the accident to save the money!

He cannot simply cut her off for her desire to have a baby without explaining his stance and reasons properly and it was him who detached, broke the communication and so on... He could have gone to counselor with her back then instead of cheating, why complicate the situation by running away to other woman and treat wife like trash? Just because he worked hard, provided for his family allow him to do this? Hell no.. Again I say the same thing, a crime is a crime even if someone being hard working, nice had done it first time, it's still a crime!

La and Manali's vile efforts fast tracked Khushi's marriage but she rejected Shyam and never needed Arnav to save her.. He should have simply called her directly or made Payal call to realize this and never needed to go there just like when he got to know about her marriage first time...

She was overwhelmed knowing his cheating, divorce and realize her marriage is indeed over and naturally went to her loved ones underestimating her village still the worst place to be for a divorcee with infertile tag! She loved her parents and Buaji too unconditionally and knowing she has no future with Arnav, wanted to make at least her parents happy! Arnav is the one who did not have backbone to tell his wife truth and have affait behaind her back and bring the other woman to the house his wife devoted years to make home sweet home for him and he was actually proud of this fact!

You can cut slack for Arnav but how come not for Khushi knowing the circustances she returned to her village??? interesting...

Khushi was confused after he asked her to come early to the penthouse to meet his important clients for the anniversary celebrations but had not wished her, the celebration he should have cancelled when he had best reason his father being sick and talked to her about the divorce asap! He is the king of duplicity..

Pics can be wrong but her conclusion is right because Aman confirmed Arnav is going for divorce! He didn't show her face on anniversary nor wish when usually he took the lead in celebrating anniversary in the past! Anyone in that situation will think exactly like Khushi! She is naive, not stupid! Khushi is no bechari but he didn't need to do what he did..

It's ok for us to disagree and I am respectfully putting my thoughts.. Arnav has had enough time and moments where he could have come clean, even before or after starting his new dalliance with Lavanya, but he took Khushi for a ride in spite of knowing her cultural beliefs, her unconditional love and devotion.. He had the choice but he did not choose right and nothing can change this fact!

Something i have told in one of my previous comments. Yes, shyam was a devil too, no doubt in that. But, as you said shyam's wife wouldn't not have endured this amount of pain, where she looses herself and has nothing left even within her ownself. It is one thing to be a chauvinist but a complete different thing to be a cheater. It is one thing to never give hope but an excruciatingly painful thing to give and then take it back so so so mercilessly.

Ps- My head is literally throbbing, i seriously need to put this phone down, but here i am.

Guys, at this point I honestly believe we are missing out on things mentioned in the FF. Things which have actually happened and are not speculations.

And now I’m starting to wonder if it’s the length of the chapters. Please let me know if I should cut it down because I’ve noticed a few confusions. I’d rather write shorter, more precise chapters than create this confusion.

I’ll reiterate a few things. Not from my comments, but exactly as they had happened in the FF.

Here are those few things -

- Arnav didn’t go running back to Umanagar like an entitled lunatic after hurting Khushi . He had almost backed out completely when he went to his old home and cried. He was worried sick about how the village would treat a divorcee and still only took care of things from afar like not letting the reporters reach her. It was only the note which revealed khushi wanted him and Shyam Jha’s name that pushed him to frenzy (A good thing in the hindsight because panchayat justice system is archaic and barbaric)

- Similarly, khushi didn’t agree to the second marriage right away. She was hurting, depressed and OVERHEARD that her parents were planning to uproot their whole lives and move away from Umanagar because the stigma was that brutal. She wanted to work, but not at the cost of her parents piece of mind and seclusion. Her dad did tell her about the dilemma he was facing. How would anyone react if your parent tells you that they won’t be able to find peace even on their deathbed. Sadly, it’s the society’s truth. Khushi went to Umanagar in the first place because her parents had stopped talking.

- Arnav had recalled being RELIEVED when Khushi didn’t get pregnant. Which means Khushi was right in Assessing that he did not want this at all. She was just trying not to force a child on him and find her way back to her husband. Arnav has mused that he felt guilty about that relief. Easily the reason they fell out even more badly.

- Khushi had trusted elders to the point of blindness. Arnav had said ‘she wouldn’t think our elders had done anything wrong if they stood next to a dead body with a bloodied knife’. I’m sure it sounds far fetched but you have to again consider the background. Even in my family, you don’t ever talk back or deny an elder anything. It’s almost oppressive, but it’s the reality in places like these. Not talking back, is in line with her character especially when she’s trying to mend things between two very adamant people.

She KNOWS Arnav misses his family even if he says otherwise because in his own way, he takes care of them. This is precisely why she apologised to him when in frustration she asked if ‘their desires even mattered to Arnav’. She knew she hurt him and was immediately apologetic.

- Arnav’s lawyer had asked why he doesn’t want to tell Khushi about Lavanya. Back then, he was sure of divorce and said if she had agreed, there’s no reason to hurt her more. However when he went to get her back, he has confessed to Akash that he will tell Khushi about Lavanya and then everything depends on her decision. He ONLY went back to get her away from that place… as he said to both Akash and Payal.

- Arnav and anamika’s relationship. Arnav was the one who was aware of the responsibilities and wanted to stay away. Anamika CONVINCED him otherwise. He was terrified that Khushi wasn’t happy with him either. At that time, he was doing the best he can.

- Khushi constantly made efforts in the last year. It says that Arnav’s repeated shut downs finally got to her. Even then Arnav told her that by waiting for him, she was adding to his stress. For all that we’ve seen Khushi doing, we know this is the last thing she would do.

I know lot of questions are still unanswered and that is by design. A lot of things are still speculative and I’ll patiently answer all those in the next few chapters.

But I can’t help but feel that There are so many things like these which are getting lost between the words. Things which have happened in the FF already. I’m seriously contemplating cutting down the length of the chapter, I’m not sure if that would be a good solution, because one chapter or two, things are going to be just as messy. So I’d really appreciate some feedback’s here.

Edit - another important point fro Arnav and Khushi’s 2014 conversation. Arnav tells Khushi about kids. He says “I have told you even the thought of it makes me….”. So they’ve had these discussions. Arnav had only had one answer that it bugs him and that’s about it. It’s not like they’ve never had the conversation.

No Arpita u don't have to change anything. I think if there is a confusion because sometimes its hard to remember every little nuances from earlier chapters. Also this story sees spirited debate. Some of the perceived notions also feel as true cause everyone is invested

So I don't believe u will have to change anything. We are just too invested in story that sometimes we project our thoughts out which might not be in line to the story

Rest of the photographs we need to wait for Arpita to disclose, because they seem to be as everything that happened was properly planned. The mighty ASR might have played into an obsessed but a very good actresses hands.

Still they could be the complete truth, we will come to know soon.

But one thing is for sure, whoever sent them to khushi had personal reasons. Addressing the envelope as just ‘Khushi’.

Somebody mentioned Arpita once denied in her comment Lavanya or Manali disclosing about the affair to khushi as it was professional suicide. Only that’s why I am confused of who could it be.

I still wouldn’t compare him to Shyam.

Shyam’s wife wouldn’t endure this much pain, she will have to give up her LIFE because her husband refused to step up to his mother. It clearly states that doctors were telling there were complications and his mother chose to call a midwife for delivery.

Now Arnav of this story could be a lot of things, but I don’t have an iota of doubt in my head that he would never let anyone force Khushi into a situation like this. He ran to save her from her family when he heard of Shyam Jha.

Even when he didn’t have a lot of money, Khushi’s treatment and dabba service had his immediate support. And Shyam was a damned banker in a city. Clearly more well off than Arnav and still pushed his wife to death. I have no idea what to call him if not a monster.

He didn’t mind manhandling Khushi while his daughter was a feet away. All because he couldn’t take the rejection of Khushi pulling her hand away from him. This much entitlement when he wasn’t even married to her. I don’t put his character above forcing himself on her.

Here I may differ from a lot of people in the comment section, but I will take someone over Arnav than Shyam at any given day. Yes, Arnav had hurt Khushi in the sense that would crush her, but he will NEVER, EVER stoop to the level of SMJ of this story. Because if cheating from a husband who is still taking care of her from afar had done this to her mental state, I don’t even want to think what it would do to her to have a husband who has no regards for her life or consent when it comes to intimacy.

Again about Arnav’s role in Khushi’s suffering - he is aware. The ff cjeariy said that his anger that was bouncing around on everyone for hurting Khushi ended up ponting at himself. The good thing is, he can step aside his own emotions and go to Khushi when her family was about to sacrifice her in the name of societal pressure.
