Where do i start from, like i want to say so much but my heart also feels numb, all at the same time.
Ahhhhhh. It felt like khushi peeked in my heart and asked arnav all the questions that i wanted to or may be vice-versa, i am the one who has peeked in her soul.
So many of her questions and turmoil made me put the phone away and think damnn i thought the exact same, so many of them reminded me of my many comments that i wrote from her perspective, i remember commenting after chapter-3 that not just arnav but so many of her relations have failed her including aman whom she considered her brother and now after so many chapters she is saying the exact same thing.
She is still holding onto the hope and asking did you not know it was not me? Why didn't you stop then? what if it would have been someone else in place of shyam? She still wants to hold onto her arnav. This woman!
I visualized Hassan here saying amir, for you, a thousand times over.
The part where she says if he had ever loved her than it wouldn't have been so easy for him to dessert her so easily, is the exact question i wanted to ask you arpita after arnav's DML when you gave us the 2 question only thing.
In arnav's dml when they have the conversation before her going to lucknow and him to panchgani, he understands that he has behaved vile with her, he understands that she must be crying her eyes out now but he still choose not to go and console her, this part made me feel, may be atleast for that period of time he really fall out of love with her and it was not just what he made himself belief.
Now coming to the ONS, i am confused here arpita, in his conversation with akash he says just for one moment when la came onto him he understood it was not khushi, but here he says he understood it was not khushi not just for once but even when she was under him, this makes it a proper cheating then. That his body was not listening to his mind. So unless lunatic has not given him viagra or something of that sort, it turns itself to a proper cheating. Yes i know she forced herself on him and i am the one who have gone to lengths in saying it rape and talking about man's biology and all, but the admission that he did to himself in this chapter compelling me to think otherwise. It was not just while kissing but also in bed he understood it was not khushi beneath him and still continued till the very last.
In arnav's dml you feel so so bad for him but when it comes to khushi i am lost. In arnav's situation atleast he got to make the choices, all this miseries were his own choices but for khushi she just have to bear the repercussions of the choices she never made.
There were certain paragraphs where i had to put the phone down, stare at nothing and then re-read the whole thing again. At some part you were just brilliant arpita. --- “Do you know what heartbreak does Arnav? At first it leaves you blind with pain. You’re just stumbling across in darkness and then one random day, all the light comes back, and you start seeing things you should have seen all along. Things that you happily ignored all this while because you were blinded by love and trust.” ---These lines arpita, take a bow!
About DV if he is going to be the new love interest of khushi, i don't know how i feel about it. This khushi has loved this arnav just too much to not end up with him.

The whole photo part, where khushi sends her Devi Maiyaa the prayer to look after her world.
Awww puja. Thanks a lot. I knew the chapter was going to be hard on you all ❤️ ❤️
Thanks for pointing out the obvious thing which i missed. I think a lot of readers may have thought what you thought, maybe i would be clearer in future.
When he talks to akash, he is specially talking about the time when she kissed him. He is telling Akash that he maybe should have said no one more time. That at the beginning of it all, maybe he could have gone away. He already told Akash he slept with lavanya and Akash isnt questioning that. That was the only point of that conversation that he was fleetingly aware at the start. It did not make sense to add the whole thing there because he was just talking to Akash about the window of saying no and not actually thinking about the whole act. After that he admits he lost control.
But when Khushi asks him the question, she is actually asking about the act. Here also he didn't say everything but in his mind, he goes through his extremely blurry memories. Even to do the act, he needs to have some kind of recollection right? Even if it was very fleeting. There's a reason he is very harsh on himself after Lavanya episode.
And yes you're right here too! as i highlighted in bold, he did truly think he had fallen out of love with Khushi. He wasn't acting on a hunch. He pondered for months before arriving at the conclusion.
Although in the FF you guys are free to choose your POV and i will not interfere in that at all. But my personal belief will stay the same. Even if he fleetingly knew under alcohol's influence, its forced and the consent is acquired through fraud.
EDIT - He also only has 'FLEETING' recolection of the woman being someone else and its his belief that he should have been able to stop. He isnt really considering how utterly wasted he was.
