I loved what is written in the Quote. It aptly defines the relationships.
All the stories that we used to read end saying – So the prince and the princess got married and lived happily ever after.
These stories somehow give us the impression that life is now happy.
Unfortunately that is not the case.
Any relation needs to be nurtured with Tender love and care daily. Its like watering a plant daily to keep it alive, growing new leaves, bud that slowly flowers and withers later giving rise to a new leaf, bud and a flower.
Here one feels that Arti marriage actually means that their relationship will last. Alas that is not to be. Arhi marriage was based on an understanding by Arnav that all is well, he loves Khushi and she does not have anyone in her life and she will fall in love with him and they will live happily ever after.
Little does he know that Khushi is a woman with her own mind and principles and she had loved Akash. Her relation with Akash floundered because neither she nor Akash cared enough to make something of it nurture it, alas it withered into nothingness and now Akash is trying to revive the withered relationship by going back in time which is not possible. Khushi has moved on, a new leaf, a new bud Is already in place. She is on her way to let Akash out and move Arnav into her life.
The quote also applies to Arnav’s relation with his friend Aman and mentor Shyam. Soon he will realise that the relationship with them was a sham and it was their selfish intention that made them befriend Arnav hence this relationship is on its way to be broken soon.
Manohar too had felt that Aarti was like a new leaf in his life, a new flower that removed him from the desert that was his life with Priya to the Oasis that was the life with Aarti and Arnav his adopted son. Alas this relationship couldn’t stand the test of time and when Manohar needed to nurture the relationship with Arnav, he left him stranded and went back to the life he had before Aarti. back to the life with Priya, a loveless one at that. Maybe he did this because he knew he had left his kids in a lurch in pursuit of the Oasis that was short-lived.
A father daughter relationship with Payal was doomed from the beginning when Manohar left Payal with Priya and now Payal who is used to a loveless life is not ready to accept Manohar as her father. Will he be able to bring back happiness in his life?
Withered, the story takes us from one aspect of life to another delving into the intricate lives of the protagonists and antagonists making us laugh or cry or falling in love, hate them.
I feel Khushi is now letting go of her past completely. She has accepted Arnav to be at par with Manohar. A far cry from the time when she never gave time of day to Arnav. She is trying to nurture her marriage but I feel by the time we reach chapter 20, we will find Khushi to be a person who is totally in love with Arnav and by then Arnav would have learnt some truths about Akash and Khushi and we will find a totally indifferent Arnav who again will start hiding his hurt within him and release Khushi to pursue her happiness. Will we really see a separation between them or a misunderstanding that will push them apart. Is it possible that chap 20 will have Khushi saying ‘I Love You’ to Arnav for the first time and Arnav acting indifferent?

Bravo…. Kudos P
What words have you used to describe the journey of Arhi in the story.

Because life begins, when happily-ever-after ends.
Arnav, Khushi, Akash, Payal, Anjali, Aman and Vidur, all are under misconceptions and that will shatter very soon.

Arnav has yet to reveal his real state to everyone. He is portraying himself as an idle person but he has a shaatir dimaag.

So the apocalypse has hit the Kapoors. Waiting to see the ramifications of the same in each person’s life. Shyam is acting as a support to Arnav who is maligning himself along with the Kapoors whilst wanting public support for PSP.

Looks like Arnav had shrewdly given the interview before going to dinner with the Kapoors.

Anjali n Payal are contrast to each other.
Kudos P , no one picked on it..yet… you are just superb

Am feeling sad for Khushi for she is in a dilemma. Arnav’s confession about the past had left her in no doubt that she should and she is with her husband supporting him against Manohar but the revelation made by Arnav has put her in a tight spot for she is working with Manohar and Arnav has revealed his rift with Manohar to all and sundry.

Once Akash realizes that Arnav isn’t going to retract his statement, he is going to file a suit against Arnav for defamation. Am sure Shyam or Viraj will not be there with Arnav for support. Moreover they are going to drag the drug business without informing Arnav. What will his reaction be? Khushi is also going to be affected now. If Aman endorses this, Payal is going to have his hide. Will Aman betray his dear friend for the sake of the Party? I have a feeling Manohar will come to talk in support of his son Arnav and take the blame for the drug habit that Arnav got into after Aarti’s death.

Loved the way in which Manohar brought out the truth of his actions to Arnav. Arnav had only thought about taking revenge on Manohar and Akash but did not realise that Aarti’s name also will be dragged into the mud. From what Manohar says, Arnav will soon realise that his hatred was baseless and he was never guilty of ruining Aarti.
It is sad to note that Manohar who only wanted a life with a loving family was left with everything but what he craved desperately for.
We know that Manohar has an ace up his sleeve. How will he use it remains to be seen.

Hmm, your words on Khushi are so profound and heartfelt.
With Viraj vs Shyam.. read between the lines sweets. But yes, one of them is a bigger villain

Its Arnav vs Manohar…
But your juxtaposition is stupendous.
Thank you

@Bold - Word.

Arnav is a person who goes all out for bringing happiness to the persons whom he loves the most. Khushi is closest to his heart. He is ready to throw away his happiness and embrace pain if he feels that Khushi will remain happy. Waiting to see what is that which drives him away from Khushi when Khushi realises that her perceptions about Arnav were totally wrong and she cannot live without Arnav.

@Bold - My reverts

There has to be something 'big' for Arnav to let Khushi go. 😉

What if bringing the past out, somehow Arnav gets implicated in Shashi's murder? It may be the work of Viraj/Shyam but they make it look as if Arnav had a hand. Maybe at that point Arnav will give the benefit of doubt to Manohar.

The justice has pointed out that Arnav has wreaked a havoc in his life by his one action of bring the past out without knowing the true implications. In the days to come, Arnav will realise the folly of his actions. While he set out to slander Justice and Akash he managed to bring pain to his closest people- namely Khushi

Hmm. I need to go thru the chapter again and check up on Viraj/Shyam. Aman is privy so some info during the days with Arnav when the latter was at the lowest. Let us see what Aman reveals to the duo Shyraj

That's why I love you so much, you read my quotes in between the lines too.

Yes, its from Khushi's POV, and her destruction...has begun

Love you too.

I know, the moment she woke up alone in her marital bed, it was obvious that something has changed 😭

Oh wow Nandz
That was some comment….
1. Anjali defo is more perceptive than Khushi
2. Garima has a guilt to keep
3. Arnav will be responsible for his downfall and for rising from the ashes.

BUT, your lines on Khushi were so heartfelt and endearing. She wont even know what will strike her, and we are hurt the most when we are unprepared.

I can feel my heartbeats quickening at the way you have said it.

God knows how will I live with it.

Yes, you make sense Raji. Everything comes with an expiry date, whether its hatred or love. There has to be a limit to it all.

So that means everything is transient and ephemeral ??
