Tashi, I think Lavenya absolutely took advantage of the situation that Arnav put himself in. He stayed , drank too much in a short period of time and whether he was drugged or not he made an irreversible mistake that may well cost him his wife. And even if they stay together that hurt will always be with Khushi and he will always know it.

But that is just one of the many mistakes he made. If he hadn’t in his self centered mixed up way, treated Khushi the way he did for over a year it may have been easier to forgive. As it is it just one of many bad decisions he made.

Secondly, drugs can alter your behaviour, mood, your personality, make you suicidal, that in case of dr*gs I can not even have a single doubt and even Khushi will be able to forgive him.

Even with alcohol, his knowing that it was not Khushi had gone to his disadvantage otherwise she would have forgiven this as well.

Ofcourse his past one year behaviour is something which is despicable despite understanding his mental state.

But I treat these two things (his last one year behaviour and drunken mistake) different problems.

For me khushi to actually move forward with Arnav she needs to be sure that he never cheated her. Only then she can let Arnav work on his problems, otherwise she will just surrender.

We forgive people we love and who love us dearly. That is why professionals help us see what is important in a relationship.

That he was honest rather than lying that he could easily do is actually in his favor.

Yes I am happy about this fact too. He didn't lie. He could have and Khushi would have believed him but thankfully he didn't.

I just wish he articulates what he wants to say and present his case if not actually talking then atleast by penning it down. Khushi needs to know what she means to him. Right now she considers herself as his responsibility and guilt. I hope she gets to know what she means to him some day

I think now we will see role reversal. Khushi assuming Arnav is only treating her as his responsibility and Arnav desperately trying to hold on to her. May be that note in wallet be the same as khushi's letter where Arnav knew he mattered the most

But we are surely in for more angst filled ride that's the only sure thing I know at this point.

As I said it was lack of communication on Arnav’s part. He assumed things . He assumed that Khushi is no happy with him and he decided to divorce her. He thought Lavanya is pregnant he was going around with her to do things right with her. But don’t want the baby. Is he god that he wants to make things good with everyone.
He brought Khushi back because she was marrying Shyam still making things good for her . But he didn’t realise his feelings for Khushi yet as love.

I think as you said Khushi has seen light and she will feel that she wasted ten years of her life with a person who act like he do good with everyone but not close to anyone.
And I think you already created a new entrant with name of VD.. Is Arnav’s happiness going to be his happiness?
Has Arnav lost his happiness because he was late realising his deeds and feelings? Questions Arpita Questions

What a wonderful story.

I have not been able to gather my bearings really. This FF is seeping into my life, one chapter at a time.

What can I possibly say about Khushi. Her selflessness doesn’t die even in the absolute bottom of hell. She spoke up without any intention to wound him. And when her words pierced his soul, she was the one who flinched.

I liked how you mentioned they both at times thought of holding the other one’s hand and stepped back for different reasons. This reaction told me just how wide of a gap has opened between them that a gesture as innocent as holding hands of a partner of ten years requires so much doubt.

Your understanding of psyche is so on point Arpita. In the middle of chaos Arnav thinking that if he could just hold her hand to provide her some warmth made me bawl my eyes out.

Yes, touch is a powerful language, I can’t stop imagining what if he didn’t hold himself back so many times and pulled her in his arms nonetheless. My mid can’t shake the picture what would have happened. Even if she wouldn’t forgive him, she would at least cry her heart out.

But I understand why you didn’t write that scene. This is not the Arnav of this story. He promised herself he wouldn’t try to even touch her hands anymore.

Our safe spaces don’t change that easily. They’re still it for each other and it shows in their smallest of gestures. A masterfully written chapter Arpita.

Coming to your Arnav. As someone who is not good with words, you nailed his character here in conflict. You have shown him as someone who was never good with words and I don’t expect him to be articulate especially in a situation as emotionally charges as this one. This is exactly how I would have behaved. Upon learning that she knew, and that I was wrong in all my assumptions, I would have said exactly how much your Arnav uttered. He needs an outlet. He needs therapy more than anyone else. Poor boy’s heart was never at the wrong place but he needs to fight his notions.

All and all, I will summarise my feelings for the whole chapter in one line.

Arnav may be a monster. But he isn’t beyond saving.

Here’s what I can feel of his condition 🌺

Saza aisi mili mujhko,

zakhm aise lage dil par

chupata to jigar jata,

sunata to bikhar jata…

(I received such a punishment,

wounds felt so deeply in my heart

If I concealed them, my soul would suffer;

if I revealed them, I would shatter.)

Tashi, I see the Lavenya part as part of all of his bad decisions. If is probably the worst one but I don’t see it as separate. Even if he was drugged it was as a result of his bad decision to go, stay when he realized what was happening at the party, drink too much and put himself in a position to be drugged.

Yes, I agree if there was sex and he was drugged Khushi, as hopefully most partners would forgive that part as not being cheating. But it still happened and he and she would always realize that and the fact that he didn’t stop when he realized it wasn’t her would probably always be a wiggle in the thoughts.

What a chapter!!!

Poor poor khushi so selfless even in such a situation she was worried for Arnav…

Arnav is too late now..

I believe Khushi can move on given the right partner she absolutely deserves that..:

I imagined VD as Varun Dhawan.

I hope he is all that Khushi deserves.

I want a happy ending for this khushi..

Such people needs too be cherished given how scarce they are..

I even want Arnav to get his closure. I hope he mends way with his family, gets treated for his mental condition.

You are an amazing writer..

You have outdone yourself in this chapter..

Take a bow dear Arpita..

Forgot to add

It doesn’t matter anymore if he did the deed with Lavanya anymore.

I am now not even curious to find what happened or Anjali and her child.

All that matters is present

Okay, I have cried cursed and slept over it. I don’t think I could have said anything yesterday. My brain pretty much behaved like Arnav’s and things jumbled up.

first of all, I am beyond bummed that the boxers lost the match. In hindsight it does make sense because then pregnancy was much more believable to Arnav.

However, if he really was drugged in any capacity, I will personally write enough curses to Lavanya that I might just get banned off IF. I swear. He’s dying in guilt.

Coming to Khushi, you make my heart twist in pain for her. Despite knowing of all the circumstances in which Arnav did what he did, this chapter hurt me as much as Khushi’s interlude. Her winds are so raw and this is the first time we see her acknowledge the intensity of her pain. Needless to say, it hurts.

It did not even occur to me how it would have seemed to her when Arnav’s asked her who told you instead of how are you? As a reader I know he was going absolutely crazy at the time, but she doesn’t know the extent of it. Khushi would have reached out to wipe his tears if places were swapped. In fact right now when she was in absolute low, she still was tempted to reach out to him instinctively 💔💔

I am again bowled over by how much this woman actually loves and believes in him. She accepted his answer that he did not have an affair because she still believes he is a decent enough human being to not lie at this stage and if anything that killed Arnav more.

And to acknowledge that she still didn’t say a single thing with the purpose of hurting him or demeaning anyone else. She simply stated what she felt and even that was unbearable to Arnav. Her turning away from him has caused him so much pain. A good reality check to what she must have felt.

Also, I am so glad that this chapter did not focus on Lavanya alone and Khushi called him out for shutting her down. If we have any hopes for them in the future, this problem needed to be addressed. I hope it knocks some sense into both of them about their priorities.

Now coming to Arnav. I wanted to rip my hair out. I am hurting for him too but him realising how bad he is at communication is literally the worst thing possible. You as a writer nailed it, me as a reader just cried realising it.

The way my heart twisted when he shut up because things had started to sound like excuses in his own head 💔😭 I am glad he still fought his natural instincts of running away and told her majority of it. I wish if he finds out that his drink was hampered or even if he remembers how vehemently he said no to Lavanya, he would let her know. I seriously wish whatever our lord saviour Aman comes up with, is enough for Arnav to look Khushi in the eye. Someday.

He needs to apologise and tell her with more conviction that what he did was for her benefit. I guess in some ways he already said that and Khushi also accepted it. But her question was too valid. How come she is the one who ends up getting hurt if everyone was trying to protect her only. 💔💔💔

I am still team Arshi who believes they need a lot of therapy. I had to go back and read Arnav’s memory lane again to remind myself of what the reality was. Not that it makes Khushi’s pain any less real. I needed to remind myself where his heart was when all of it happened.


coming to VD. I see what you did there.

His last line was ‘let’s find your happiness (Khushi)

you really did not go subtle with breaking my Arshi heart there di 😭😭. My hopes of seeing them end up together in this FF are slashed by half after this chapter. I have the same feeling as Arnav. He is too late.

Khushi realising that she had put herself behind everything was the only silver lining in this chapter. I hope in coming days, she comes out of this paralysing pain and puts herself first. She still getting moved by Arnav’s tears is my last hope for both of them and my own sanity.

ps- on a lighter note, now that boxers have lost the match , we will fill pages thinking what is VD’s full name 😭

take a bow di. Take a bow. Every time I think I’ve become normal, this FF pulls me back into madness.

Saved my typing again. Every word perfect. But I would like to add that this is first time khushi opened up her pov !!! I am thinking when will Arnav break to the point and come clear with his. He still told her half stuff with again his guilt taking precedence!!! The way he told her that he was in rave party as if he was there to enjoy (I’m so mad at him) and lavanya is nearly death knell to a woman’s heart!!! At this point his treatment to her really unacceptable !!!! He still chose to tell her half truths his mind has conjured up using his guilt.

I can sympathise with khushi, can’t relate to her pain because I for one believe if you take sh*t you will end up getting more of it!!! She might be a good person to the world but created a real miserable life for herself . I might be the only person happy that her blindfold is gone, I hope she rises up now. At this point she feels she is cheated by everyone, good now she must learn to fight for herself. She can move on I don’t expect her to be understanding to Arnav’s mental health issues after what she went through in last year. I believe in her pain she has forgotten or looking at everything to be tainted . Hopefully someone will be able to convey to both of them about what lacked in their relationship and also how everything is not how they perceive it to be. But I would like khushi to finally grow a spine before she ventured into any relationship. No one (husband, parents , in-laws) is worth reverence other than the almighty!!!! You have to put yourself first because no one will .
Coming to Arnav, he in his ignorance and self pity topped with ever present guilt has lost something really precious, I just hope someone pushes him to a therapist at least now.

They both need help!!!!

Beautiful presentation of their emotions , well done Arpita!!!
