Maybe Manohar has no whiff of it

Though she is from middle class and a sole bread winner of the family, she is an advocate - I don't think she would fall for a thread!

In Prologue, she just wished she wasn't the protege of Manohar, and in Chap 2 Arnav was grateful to Manohar for bringing Khushi in his life. It was just our speculations where we thought Manohar forced/persuaded Khushi to marry Arnav. Not saying he didn't, but it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the last 3 updates. Or did I overlook something?

Khushi says she owes a lot to Manohar and with the demise of Shashi, Manohar seems to have got Khushi under his wings and when she rejected Arnav's proposal then I feel only Manohar would have made her change her decision! But there could be something more to, as she is a mature girl though lacks in the subject of heart and love, I'm sure she is smart with brains - so there could be something more other than Manohar's influence..

Yes, looks like he pursued her for 2-3 years before she agreed to marry him. It's still a mystery to us as well as Arnav (I think) on what made Khushi change her mind

Yes that could be the answer to Khushi's secret as well

Manohar being the reason for Khushi to marry Arnav seems the most sensible speculation at the moment. But knowing N's penchant for twists, I was trying to let my imagination run wild. Guess it ran right off the field 🤣

Aah good I asked then! Thanks for clarifying P. I was thinking on the lines of bambaiyya tapori language - "ab-bey kya kar-rela hain" types 🤣

Ha ha. Bambaiyya tapori language, I dont think Shamzy is familiar with that, lol

N, you are making us work overtime.

As far as I understand the story so far, Khushi never had any association with boys until she met Arnav. For now I would like to think she doesn't have a broken heart. She is out to unearth something for sure. Most probably the culprit behind Shashi's suspicious death.

@P, I liked all your theories. Mostly your theory on Aman trying to prepare Khushi and her reactions if and when Arnav becomes a prominent figure in politics.

Your theory on Kapoor and associates made me think something else. Who are the other partners in Kapoor and associates? Is it Arnav's biological father or mother?

@EC, I liked how you deciphered the quote and related it to Arnav and Khushi's current and future life.

@ Aishu, I like how meticulously you analyse each character and their traits.

@G, I love how quickly you pick points and make comments. I am very slow and I can't come up with a proper revert like you girls do.

Cheers......

Thank you, Raji

Broken heart or unrequited feelings, would be the same. Lets see

Yes it’s for Babe

Bae is a new short word which is used a lot by English people this days calling your partner this days so instead of saying babe we say bae 😌😌

Oh wow, I didnt know that, Shamz

Thank you for sharing. 😊

And good to have you back here

I’m sure there something more then just Arnav imagine that’s stop her, and if you don’t love someone why would you give yourself to that man even if there no feeling for him she maybe had few dreams or hopes but she’s listening and reading what people have said written that she’s not actually actually giving him chance, I’m sure she will fall for him slowly 🤷‍♀️

I so agree with you, Khushi is so convinced that this marriage has no future that she is being unfair to both Arnav and herself

Wonderful, EC !!

So Akash and Khushi's angle is null and void or it still holds ??

My hands are itching to pen down the answers.

But I will control myself 😆

For once, I am enjoying being on the other side of the table.

You are such a sadist 😳

Here we are spending so much time on guessing and you are enjoying yourself.

But no, N dont open any cards now, its somehow takes away the suspense.

EC and P

Very insightful conversation. I dont think even I have paid so much attention to the supporting characters.

So we are compelling you to do so. 😆

hope as a consolation prize, you give us a teaser 😉

Now that I will be busy with editing the chapter, can I pose a question to all my lovely readers here, who have thronged this place with their brainstorming sessions.

Does Khushi love Arnav? Why or why not? 😛

NO!!

Khushi doesnt love Arnav. What she feels for him atm is just a bit of care that she respect out of the love he explicitly shows for her.

She doesnt respect him.

She doesnt love him.

And she got into this marriage with eyes and mind open, hence, consummation by no means is a measure of love. Infact, Khushi was a virgin at the time of marriage and she cannot really distinguish love from lust, unlike Arnav.

Arnav, on the other hand, loves her. But he hasnt realised the extent of his love to show Khushi what she means to him.

Originally posted by: Savera84

She loves him, but, can't say it out loud because, she thinks there is no future between them as couple. She thinks by saying "I love you" she might be trapping Arnav into a relationship he does not want.

Why I think she loves him - because, she gave herself to him without any inhibitions. If there is any apprehension in her actions, Arnav would notice. The intimacy they are sharing is not one day or one off thing, right?

Cheers.......

Oh my, Raji

We have absolutely divergent views on this 😆
