So whose the withered rose, Khushi keeps in her diary ??

Has to be Arnav, only he is cheesy enough here to give her a rose ❤️

Jokes apart, N

Firstly, congrats on the new thread 🥳You totally deserve it.

You have outdone yourself with Withered.

Coming to the teaser, Khushi agrees to give their marriage a chance and Arvav signs on his death warrant ?? 😭

Hopefully, by the time Khushi loves him, its not too late.

Payal loves Akash, whose a dreamboat. We already knw that 😛

Priya accepted Manohar back ?? 😲So Manohar was at fault.

This is the penalty he pays for killing my mother 😔

N!!!

Congratulations on the new thread. And I see many more coming.

So it's not much of a cryptic teaser this time. The quote is beautiful!! I'm guessing that Arnav is the withered fragmented flower while the diary belongs to Khushi. The pages in it are her memories. And between those resides Arnav. Try as she might Arnav has been already written down in the pages of her mind's diary. <3

I'm guessing that something has compelled Khushi to give her relationship, to give Arnav a chance. A chance to love. Which I hope will turn out to be a chance to cherish.

Oh boy!! Aakash makes another entry here. Though they're thoughts. Payal's perhaps. So now there's two people, Khushi and Payal, who are seen to be describing Aakash as the ideal man. But is that all that is to the man in question?

I see myself grinning here. I did mention in.my comment for chapter 3 that Manohar was mainly financially supporting Arnav. Looks like there's always been a reason as to why that was so. I'll cut Manohar some slack and believe for now since I don't know much, that he didn't make the best judge in assessing situations which eventually led to Aarti's death. A great error in judgement which has caused Arnav to do this to his father.

Will have to wait for that to be revealed.

So Shyam's here. And that man can only mean trouble. Arnav definitely is being reckless here. No doubt he has a hidden agenda, perhaps something that has got to do with avenging his mother. Hopefully Khushi will help him see the light.

The teaser you have posted is very interesting and it begins with a poetic verse which clearly indicates that for Kushi Arnav is nothing more than a wilted flower and has faded away from her life but still somewhere in her heart he still resides .That indicates separation of these two are imminent soon.

On the other hand kushi keeping aside all Arnav’s shortcomings seeing the love he has for her has decided to give her marriage a chance but hoping this step taken by her is not too late.

Then coming to Manohar and his family his son Aakash is regarded as a true gentleman has qualities which any girl would fall for but also at the same time make any parent proud .Next Payal who considers herself unwanted by her parents. Finally Priya Kapoor who grudgingly accepted her husband who went astray may be she accepted him after ensuring he would cut ties with Arnav.

Last but not the least the head of the family Manohar all we know about him apart from him being a lawyer he married twice looks like he jilted his wife (Priya)and married Aarti and after her death forcefully went back to (Priya).

Can’t understand why Arnav holds him responsible for his mother’s death and he sees him as a ATM machine where anytime he can go and collect money and he doesn’t regret this action of his .Only time will tell whether he is right or he has misjudged his father

Lastly the interaction between Arnav and shyam I could not decipher their political jargon like he has signed a death warrant and how it is going to spell doom for him. This can be understood when you put up the chapter.

Hi N

I think this is the 1st story where I am actually reading the comments and your replies in peace.

I think I told you before I like how you interact with the readers and let them express what they think about the story and the characters

My confidence in expressing has taken a beating because I always worry if my opinion may offend the writer.

Secondly I may not be on par with the rest who can get to the depth of the characters and can articulate things much better.

Like see in this comment. I expressed two different things together in a sentence.

I meant is his purpose to join politics to bring Manohar down?

Isn't he already making him pay feel guilty but why sign something with Shyam which would destroy him? It seems he may be digging for something which he can do only after he gets some power.

I wonder Has it got something to do with Khushi's father's death? did her father have some proofs against this party? Does the death warrant mean literally they kill him or he loses Khushi. Whatever he has signed will most likely to cause him Khushi or create some misunderstanding.

Arnav was thinking of doing something because Shashi helped his mother. Could it be he is risking himself for do that. Marrying Khushi isn't a help it's for his own good or was it to kill the speculations of any foul play in Shashi's death by the party. Arnav being married to Khushi gives them a clean chit brings Arnav in their good books only Arnav is going to expose them.

Arnav can be a Casanova or anything else but Arnavs in N stories always have something up their sleeve and are very sharp. He is taking money as payback he can't be naive or stupid to join something without a purpose. The Villain underestimates him and that's when he attacks back.

Regarding the money what is he doing with the money he is taking from his step father regularly and not a small amount by any means. He can use that to do something with his life. Like building something in his mom's name like NGO for kids. I want to know what he does with all the money? We don't know is it a possibility that he is using the money for some cause and Khushi saw that side of his and she is willing to give it a chance disregarding all the doubts she has.

I am not sure about her and Akash being in a relationship or in love. I do believe Khushi was affected by Arnav but she doesn't like him as a person while she likes Akash as a person for his work etc.

That quote be with someone who loves you and not someone who makes your heart race.

In the present it seems like Akash is that guy good guy who loves her back but in the future it might turn out Arnav is guy who would love her and Akash was the one bad one after all.

Payal adores Arnav clearly they both have more in common than she has with her real brother. If Akash is the good son and a good lawyer. He may not necessarily be a good brother. A good son may most likely to be pretending to be an Heir.

Manohar went back to Priya but she accepted him now so why didn't she want him back in first place. Arnav was telling her about the money. She put the condition to not let Arnav stay there so she was the one who was in a position to dictate terms to Manohar. She gives the money or knows about it.

You mentioned that both Arnav and Khushi's bubble will break.

Khushi was somehow convincing herself by assuming only bad things about Arnav and Arnav might realize Khushi doesn't love him back. She married him because she was compelled to. Just when Khushi considers giving him a chance he figures she doesn't want him.

Please I hope I haven't gone too far ahead. I read the different things and I wrote what came to my mind.

I could be completely wrong but I like to think Arnav isn't in vain.

I appreciate you and P always being so kind and supportive.

Thank you.

Radz.

Arnav is taking the money and his destruction warrant are not related. Tow mutually independent events

You must be busy with your in laws. Any plans to go out tomorrow?

I read all (you, A, EC, P and others) your comments and even though you all agree on few things, some opinions are completely different from each other. I really wonder how few lines from N evoke so many different opinions.

Guess what? This marks something else!

Cheers.........

No plans as such, Raji. Just went to couple local places.

Yeah, every line gives rise to 100s of speculations. None of mine were even close. Back to the drawing board 😆

@bold - What do you mean? Something seems to be cooking in your mind! 😉

When I read the quote I don't why but i got the feeling that Arnav thinks himself as Withered fragmented flower and Khushi accepting him with all his flaws.

Now Teaser

1) Khushi wanted to give her relationship with Arnav a chance.. for Arnav. Because Khushi knows from the begining Arnav loved her but she thought it was a passing affair... may be her meeting with Anjali and Garima and what they told about Arnav and the conversation with Arnav while returning back when Khushi saw a glimpse of real Arnav, whom Arnav hid behind the mask made her to think from his pov and wanted to give a chance ... only for Arnav. (as per what Arnav described Khushi's nature I am thinking this)

2) We got to know that Payal loves her perfect olderbrother Akash just like she loves her other brother Arnav.

I think Priya and Manohar marriage was an arranged one and when he met Aarti he fell in love and left Priya for Aarti and after Aarti's death he went back to priya for his kids as Arnav never accepted him as a father and Priya seeing Arnav and Manohar's strained relationship she felt secured for her kids future and accepted Manohar back in her life.

3) I guess Arnav said it to Priya when she taunted him for taking Manohar's money when he openly shows his hatred for Manohar.

4) Arnav did everything that Manohar adviced or warned him not to do. Arnav joined Shyam even after knowing about his image and some how Shyam also know it and he made Arnav to sign agreement that states Arnav should not leave the party what may come.

You know N that I am not good at guessing but anyway I always do that😆

Oh Gauri, I just dropped you a text sometime back thinking you will be busy with guests especially your friend. You rock girl 😘

For your thoughts - Yeah there is a possibility that Khushi is giving a chance to Arnav for Manohar - But still wouldn't it be the same as her marriage? She indeed married Arnav for Manohar and now keeping up with marriage too for Manohar - But it's only Khushi who had a glimpse of Arnav's vulnerability who longs for love which he hides behind the mask of behind happy-go guy - Khushi knows in her heart that Arnav is a kind-hearted one but one reason is all she needs to give him a chance - And now she is giving him a chance without having any reason and now she will realize she has more than one reason to love Arnav and more!!

Love your take on Priya and Manohar - I'm not able to see Priya on a good light as every puzzle in my mind ends at her!!

What say? Come back with more

Hey Aishu!! I think I saw N's comment somewhere that "him" is Arnav. It will be interesting to see what caused Khushi's change of heart.

I am not so sure of Priya. She appears to be a shrewd woman, but not an evil one. So far the only thing we know about her is she did not accept Arnav. But I don't hold it against her. She is an important player in the story, along with few others. N did confirm that.

Bandhaiyaan Pataakhe 🤗

You have turned green from golden 😛

Whoa, Itne khayal kaide aaye?

So Aman is also an enemy to Arnav, maybe hand in glove with Shyam??

Arre, then whose team Arnav?? Manohar?

Thanks EC. This is what I was talking in my other comment.

To answer all your questions:

• If K has a promise to keep or debt to clear, IMO she will be careful before falling in love. In spite of that if she fell in love, then I rather Khushi trust that person she fell in love with than succumb to the demands from the external forces.
• Arnav referred that death warrant to be his by throwing caution to winds and ignoring consequences. Arnav spites his father, but I don't think he wants any harm to fall on his father. He knows what he did was risky and as I told Aishu, I think that is somehow related to Khushi (which he may or may not be aware)
• Aman may not be a black character. He may have just played into the hands of the bad guys/girls for some harmless selfish reason.
• I think we celebrate Queen's birthday in June because, we don't have any public holidays between April and December. And we celebrate labour day on first Monday of October instead of 1st of May. We also celebrate an additional Christmas in July because that is when we have snow (not in all parts of the country though)

Cheers.......
