The first time I read the chapter, I felt a vague irritation, an unease with the way Khushi was handling the whole thing. Thought I should give it another read and then try to make sense of what she is doing.
The second time around had me actually getting more than a little angry with her. On one hand, she has decided she is 'in love' with Arnav. She grants him liberties she hasn't granted any other person for so long. If the timely interruption from Manjunath hadn't come about when it did, she would have gone along with Arnav, her mind unable to overrule her body. Even when Arnav came back, she chose to pretend to be asleep rather than let him know that she wasn't ready. Her pretense is getting a little bothersome. I feel like her being the way she is, she is in for a complete heartbreak. And she would have no one but herself to blame for it.
I couldn't believe she yet again went being Arnav's back and spoke to Rakesh. How could she?! Hadn't she decided she loved Arnav? Then shouldn't she either chose to believe in Arnav blindly or speak to him clearly? It's as though she needs affirmation that she did indeed pick a good person and the affirmation should come from the creepy gang. Why didn't she tell Rakesh that she knew people who knew Arnav personally and they vouch for him? She could have; should have taken the high-road, haina?
I cringe when I think about how Arnav would feel when he comes to know that Khushi had been making inquiries behind his back. For a guy who already has trust issues, this would break him and in turn, he is going to break her. I see heartbreak all around, Kavi 😒
But I'll assuage myself by saying that things have to get worse before they can get better.
👏 

Take a bow, Kavi! Amazing character development. I love the way you laid the foundations bit by bit in every chapter.
