Resurgence | Arshi FF | Thread 1 | Thread 2 link posted on page 149 - Page 75

I have told myself I am not going to respond to this story anymore but Swati, you are expressing my thoughts about this story so well. When one responds, one can’t hit every thought one has about what is happening. I have expressed my same thoughts as you about the children issue several times.

You have conveyed my thoughts exactly on the Lucknow family connection. He has estranged himself so she must because he is uncomfortable with their questions. Arnav has been a good responsible son in the past. And, the responsibility is still there but it is on Khushi’s shoulders which he evidently holds against her. However, Arnav as the son of the family has been very entitled. His parents and Anjali have given up a lot so he has a shot at a better life. He has tried to make it up to them but he has “grown too big for his britches” Perhaps, this entitlement fuels his belief that he is a righteous man and thus what he does is for Khushi’s welfare. Lets him off the hook. He is entitled to live life HIS way. Allows him to dally with Lavenya and as you said, ignore Khushi instead of talk, even when she reaches out and seems to hold no rancor.

I have also expressed my ideas many times about his cheating and the kind of person Lavenya is. So what she became enamored over a novel and gave up her big salary to play a small part. Whoopty! That makes her a good person?

The way he handled the divorce shows the insensitivity, ungratefulness and just plain uncaring for Khushi guised in his egotistical way, because he was unhappy, and wanted out, she must be too and thus his ego couldn’t handle his guilt. His ego and guilt fuel him to say he has fallen out of love with her. Even though she still loves him, he is breaking her heart for her own good. I talked about this and his ego in some of my earlier posts also.

Swati, we seem to see things in this story in much the same way. Maybe, because we live in roughly the same part of the USA. I’m not Indian or Polish but I do have family ties with India and I have spent some time there. But so many of the themes of this story are universal. And in the end, people are people, women are women and yes, men’s behaviors sometimes are the same the world over.

“What happened suddenly Arnav? You’re sure right?” Akash asked a few seconds later.

“Surer than I’ve ever been of anything in a long long time.” Arnav answered truthfully.

“So… the problems earlier…you’re gonna work on them with Khushi?”

“That depends on her Akash. Everything else depends on her. I just know that she needs to be back in Mumbai. Away from that place.”

“And are you going to tell her about Lavanya?”

“Yes” Arnav said in a determined voice. “I’m going to tell her everything. As soon as she is here.”

This part is what makes me think that it was not a prolonged affair? How is he not worried about telling her about Lavanya??

But then in the prologue he wishes she eavesdropped the conversation with Lavanya so he won’t have to tell her and she will agree to the divorce. So he knows that would be the breaking point. But still the thought never crossed his mind that the reason for her weird behavior the day he asks for divorce maybe because she came to know if his affair?

I’m literally pulling my hair trying to figure out.

This is a first for me too like many of you - being so involved in the story and reading comments obsessively and commenting so many times.

What have you done to us Arpita???

it’s going to be very difficult (maybe impossible even) for us to forgive Arnav for his infidelity God knows how Khushi is going to? I wish you give us an inkling about what is coming next 😀 so we stop obsessing

Readers of this story do check out new what’s app ad..

It’s about two sisters chatting about the baby issues how one sister says that she doesn’t want children of her own and how society is pressuring her to have one

It very relevant in context of this story

I knew it… Khushi had known about Lavanya that day. Can’t even imagine how devastated, humiliated and heart broken she must have felt!!!!

Something might make it possible for Arnav to repent and rectify his mistakes later, maybe he was tricked into something, but the hell his wife is going through right now is unredeemable….. Only if they had talked, if he had had the guts to tell her when it happened, it would have hurt a little less.

Its clear form the letter, Khushi had taken that step, to sort things out. Why had Arnav not thought about any reconciliation before filing for divorce papers? He wanted to talk but only after having those papers in his hand.

He has a lot of work in his hands if he is going to win back his wife.

Wonderful writing and story telling

This Khushi, is a very different character than in most stories where she is Chirpy, lively, confident..

Here you have managed to build a totally different image of a demure, graceful, somewhat subdued, a little unsure of herself.

Kudos to you 👍🏼

Swati's breakdown of khushi's miseries had me in tears in middle of my class...it took legit everything in me to not weep in front of an audience.

She has written almost everything that i feel too, some of those i wrote in my other comments also but sometimes while writing comments i get so overwhelmed and have so much to say and so many points to touch that it gets tough to articulate everything even after writing a thousand of comments in this thread.

The khushi cheating part that swati said is swirling in mind since the day arnav's emotional need and emotional indefidelity was discussed in the comments. Agreeing to everything she said, if arnav in the name of being emotionally lonely and unhappy can cheat then what about khushi? she was any day much more lonely than him (he admitted that in one of the chapters too) so did she cheat? No right..because she is a woman of substance, principles, morals and discipline, it is not just because of being traditional, many traditional people probably cheat too. He knows she will not, he knows she will just accept everything and walk away without making any fuss and so he took her for granted. Had she been someone who would have gone to take her revenge from him, he wouldn't have dared.

So i give a daamnn to his emotional needs.

It can be a man's house, but always a woman's home.

End this suspense arpita..i honestly can't take it anymore, this story has seeped under my skin. I have continuously said myself that today i am not going to feel this gloomy whole day for a fiction...but then on my way, i was listening to a Rabindra Sangeet and coincidently each line relates to khushi...this made me gloomy again and then the analysis by swati.

(I have always been praised for my insane self control, my real life friends will get crazy if they know this.)

This chapter actually made me shed a tear. A new reader of your tale and you have my heart. You have a way with words that makes your reader gets drawn into the tale and make them feel the story. I sympathize with both of them. But I still can't forgive Arnav for his affair with Lavanya, no matter how weak he was at the moment, seeing his marriage, nearing a decade crumbling. And my heart goes out to Khushi seeing her uproot her life just to find her sanity. I just hope her family isn't too harsh on her.

A sadistic part of me wants Payal to know about the affair and slap the hell out of Arnav. Sorry if that sounds too harsh. But then if Payal knows, she wouldn't be able to keep it from Khushi and I would not want her to hide it since it would break her.

My apologies for rambling, but it's just how invested I am right now and how blown away I am by your words.

SHEEEEE KNOWWWWWWSSS!!!! Finally, the cat is out of the bag. As much as I wanted this moment, this confrontation, I know that my poor Khushi is broken. I wish she had saved some money for herself just so that she could away, from all of them and just live for herself. I know that leaving one's family and everything that they love is difficult but she needs to live for herself. Everyone keeps deciding for her.

It must have been so hard for her to keep it to herself. And Arnav brought Lavanya to his place. He could not stoop any lower. I am waiting for the next chapter with bated breath.

P.S. And you used Grant Gustin's Runnin Home to you <3 I am melting. That song has my heart. It's such a gem.

And totally agree with you that the Flash has not been the same! A Snowbarry shipper here 😁

And the song, not a lot of people know and appreciate it. You have just become one of my favourite writers.

Annoyingly busy with the asli duniya guys. Will come back to the lovely comments as soon as possible. A big thank you in the meantime ♥️♥️♥️♥️
