We are into the eleventh chapter and I think now the story will begin as it is poised at a stage where we are going to witness many new happenings and dramas which will add spice to the story.
Main drama will enfold when Arnav and kushi will go for dinner to the Kapoor headquarters. A place where Arnav hates to go as he considers all of them his enemies excluding Payal. We can see how desperate Manohar is to strengthen the bond between him and Arnav via his bahu. Hence he approached kushi and invited them for dinner as he very well knows kushi is Arnav’s weakness and he won’t say no to kushi.But what kushi does not know is the dynamics of the relation Arnav has with the members of the kapoor family which she will see soon.
Manohar to me appears to be a complex character . One can’t help wondering in spite of knowing that Shashi disliked Arnav and preferred Aakash as his son in law so also ignoring Aakash’s feelings towards kushi He went ahead and proposed Arnav for kushi. Was it love for Aarti ? as he couldn’t see her son going astray Only time will tell.
Arnav and kushi’s relation is like a see saw .kushi knows she’s married to Arnav but finds it difficult to control her feelings for Aakash ,After seeing him again in office and after him talking to her you can say she was dejected that Aakash turned out to be a man with feet of clay who in spite of having feelings for her never reciprocated then and now when she’s married he’s pointing a finger at her by telling her of her wrong selection of a life parner. At this point I can’t help thinking that Aakash wants to create a rift between Arnav and kushi by sowing seeds of doubt regarding Arnav in her mind. Or is it a case of sour grapes.?
Even though Manohar went back to Priya for the children but Payal went astray now she’s dating none other than Aman Arnav’s right hand. Wonder how Arnav would take it but Aman seems to be very serious regarding Payal. Here one can’t help doubting Aman is he Arnav’s true friend despite knowing the dangers lurking around shyamwas association. He never discouraged him from associating with shyam .On the contrary Payal may be characterless but she wants no harm to her brother she wants the best for him.
We can also see a new friendship blooming between Vidhur and Anjali .waiting to see kushi’s reaction if their friendship develops further.
In the end I can only say no doubt Manohar loved Aarti but this love witnessed a change in the family relations and he had to compromise and sacrifice many things . His only gain was he could live a few years with Aarti. But today he is back to square one he is with his former wife Priya.
