Arpita, now I have two conflicting responses to the above chapter.
One, Arnav was just drunk, like he believed, tried to refuse to lunatics advances then succumbed and had S*x with her, like he says he went all the way, even knew it was not Khushi under him. In that case it is infidelity.
He is sorry, wants her back, loves her but that will not take away that he cheated.
Now, the second point is which I still strongly feel happened, I don’t believe he was just drunk, I believe he was dr*gged, he has some hazy memories which is not letting him believe he was tricked plus their investigation so far has not been fruitful and though he says it but I believe he actually did not go all the way. Because even if he did it was rape. That’s why still believe boxers helped.
Now, Khushi has told him about the photographs and he has strong doubts, hopefully he will be able to dig the entire truth out of the lunatics mouth.
Khushi in her hurt has given him a reality check, whatever he did to her over the years, he needed to know that and that too from Khushi herself. I am really happy this time she did not mince her words for his sake. She even told him about her being callled gawaar or infertile. Arnav may be the righteous man but he needed to know that in doing that he had taken Khushi for granted where she should always have been at the top of his priority list.
God she is also hurt by Aman, it’s like every relationship she loved, she is hurt by them all. From our to everything became your for her.
My god! When she said what did you ask after you knew about she knowing about divorce, I wanted to slap Arnav ( here I know he was also going through a lot at that time but it does not take away her pain).
I cried a lot for Khushi and she may forgive him for lunatic once she knows the entire truth but it does not take away that she was wronged and it was Arnav who did it.
This feeling that Arnav might have had a child with someone else and he in his righteousness was being there for her even if she comes to know about all the lies Lunatic has woven, how will it go away.
This Arnav couldn’t even tell her that he was trying to protect her from Lunatics PR team, save her and his family by taking care of the financials but instead tells her he was there because he felt responsible for lunatic.
If he was there with lunatic because of sense of responsibility then what forgiveness is he even seeking. He thinks if he says I was only protecting you with no valid explanation she will believe him.I am very confused now.
Arnav now has to realise Khushi is way past that stage where she would understand his unspoken words, he needs to talk and be articulate at least for once.
Khushi should be made to feel that she is important and if his guilt can not let him do that then she is better off without him.
When you read about Arnav’s POV you want to forgive him and when about Khushi you can’t. Arnav has a long path to redemption but till lunatic chapter is solved the last one year mistakes redemption can not even start.
Now who is this VD? I am sure he is going to be potential love interest of Khushi who will help Khushi realise whether she can fall again in love or not. Like they did not already have a lunatic and Shyam in their life now this VD also had to come.
If after so much hurt and pain Khushi still can be moved by Arnav’s tears then I don’t think she can love another. But may be this person can help her gain her confidence back.
( it reminded me of Sridevi of English vinglish and that French chef case🙈)
Also, I hope when this VD comes and Arnav in his self pity mode let’s her go, then this time khushi will go, she will not stay even if it’s not VD that she is moving on to because it really hurt her that he was ready to let her go if it was someone else and not Shyam.
Ps they are in penthouse right and not shantivan. I think you wrote it by mistake.
