What a lovely chapter. Like you said, this is very important chapter with lots of info to be digested.
First.
Arnav was 20 when he first came to stay with Kapoors after Arti’s demise and Payal 7. From the past it appears that Priya had got pregnant 2nd time as a last ditch attempt to keep Manohar away from Aarti. She must have probably seduced Manihar without his knowledge knowing that he loved Aarti and had asked fir a divorce from Priya. No wonder Payal felt she was unwanted
That being said maybe Priya and Manohar seperated before Payal was born and Arnav have been around 13 or so when ManoTi married and 20 when Aarti died. Payal calls Aarti Ma. Maybe she met Arti when she was alive or learnt to love her after knowing about her from Arnav.
Akash is her loving Bhai but when push comes to shove it appears that she will support Arnav rather than Akash. Arnav who treated Payal as his equal played with her and gave her brotherly love when she was bereft of any kind of love from family. One’s heart goes out for little Payal who would have felt her mother’s resentment and her father’s abandonment as a baby.
You have connected the dots so well P. I was a tad bit confused about the timeline of Manoti's marriage and now, its crystal clear
So Arnav had ample time to assess Manohar and Shashi.
