This was my first line. Even if Aman tells him he was drugged, the fact that he has a few memories of the night and not stopping is enough for this man to lay down his everything.

so I’m just done. It’s still painful for me to think Lavanya violated him. It’s even more painful for me to think he is never going to forgive himself even if he gets to know drugs were involved. Him remembering things fleetingly were enough

Well he is an idiot, that is proved beyond all doubt with this one. I mean ideally I hope he realizes that there is a very high possibility that his drink was spiked with this whole fake pregnancy scenario, plus the info Aman dug out about La. Instead of she is not pregnant, he should've said she faked a pregnancy🤔. This Khushi would've listened if there was any sense to what he is saying. Maybe sense is too much to expect of astute businessmen!

I hope Khushi realizes that she doesn't need a man to find meaning in life. If she wants to have a child, that is also possible in today's times without having sex with a man. Or so many orphaned kids who would be fortunate to have a mom like her. There are plenty of single moms and dads who raise wonderful children. Plus the way she loved Arnav, it would take years to move on from such a thing, and it wouldn't be fair to another person if she is not able to love like that.

And I would tell everyone to stay away from VD, if you get my drift!!!😉

Agree to all points especially the VD one 😂😂😂

However Arnav didn’t say she wasn’t pregnant or it was a fake scare. He outright said she lied. This is enough for anyone to understand Lavanya faked the thing.

I completely agree with you.

The difference between saying "She was not pregnant " to "She faked the pregnancy " is as huge as North and South poles.

If these two don't stop treating their lives like a daily soap, if they are not open in their communications, if they don't think logically, then sorry to say, they can never be at peace or be happy.

But once again guys, he said she lied. He begun with that. So at least this part is something that’s clear to Khushi

What a chapter Arpita. You changed the mood entirely. I read it last night and couldn’t sleep thinking about them and the hopeless situation they find themselves in.

I agree with everything Isha and Akansha said.

My heart breaks for both of them.

Regarding Arnav you can hate egotistical and self-centered persons but how can you hate Arnav for being stupid and assuming things. Since when is not able to communicate a crime. Yes he made a mistake in fact several of them and he deserves the guilt and grief he inflicted upon himself and his Khushi but I can’t hate him for it. A long road ahead of them starting with lots of therapy is what I see in their future.

The only reason Lavanya was able to take advantage of him is because she counted on his innate sense of doing the right thing??

Anyway I’m emotionally exhausted to comment anymore.

Arpita, you are a genius to able to take us on this emotional roller coaster and show us the picture with your powerful words!! 👏👏

We see two different manifestations of guilt with him. He felt guilty towards both Khushi and Lavanya, but his actions were totally opposite.

With Lavanya, he was all supportive. He went every time she called. Why did he need to go with her to pick up the reports? She knew how to do that herself. She shed tears, he was comforting her.

With Khushi, it was total avoidance and ignorance. He froze her out. Not one kind word came out of his mouth.

I have now read the whole chapter and many comments too. Honestly many of you have already said what I wanted to say here.

What an emotional roller coaster chapter!!. Arpita you are absolutely amazingly talented author. I felt as if you are answering and discussing all the questions I have on khushi’s behalf instead of Arnav’s musing and reply to Khushi.

Therefore I have to admit that I felt nothing knew when khushi asked exactly the questions I wanted to ask from Arnav.

Definitely heartbreaking yet not unexpected. I love how you write each line with hidden deeper meaning.

1. I still firmly believe that Arnav has not done infidelity or cheating and somehow has not even done full deed. I know that he replied to khushi that he remembers he was on top and it was not khushi. However, that is his point of view with very scattered and foggy memory, and full of guilt with his so-called righteousness. No one can tell exact details except the lunatic unfortunately 😡. Therefore, I still feel that line written by you is still dubious. Also, he was definitely taken advantage of by the lunatic, and there is no doubt about that. Hopefully we will find more details with further investigations. He was under influence for sure either alcohol or drugs. It would be very difficult for him to go all the way🫣even if he thinks so with his scattered memory— can not expect him to push and pull boxers back you see😜🥰—-(anyway let us stay in our happy bubble)
2. Khushi’s pain was so palpable, and her anguish and hurt will not go away soon enough. Arnav single-handedly took the decision for the divorce and decided he does not love her anymore and also she’s not happy with him. These are all his presumptions, which he never cared to discuss with Khushi.
3. Khushi is possibly more hurt with his decision of divorce than his ONS. She is an unconditional loving person that she will forgive his one night stand when she will find out exact details how he was taken advantage into this by the lunatic. When khushi asked if it was not shyam— he would not have come to help khushi— that was khushi’s breaking point.
4. Arnav is definitely flawed, and that’s why we are reading the story. He made all the bad decisions in last one year and kept Khushi in dark. This is his personality disorder and costed him all his happiness. His actions has brought so much of grief and trauma to Khushi .
5. I cannot believe that after knowing everything some people are still saying it’s Khushi’s fault as well. My heart is breaking for her since the beginning of this story and much more after revelations of last chapter of Arnav’s thoughts and behavior. Her only fault is that she is a traditional female full of Grace , unconditional love and devotion. Since when these traits in any female are considered crime or weakness. I am sorry, but I get very angry when people start blaming her in this whole fiasco. Yes, she has some insecurity, and did not care for financial independence. But they were leading a 10 years of happy marriage, in whichArnav was always a decision maker and “she was happy with that. No one was compromising during that time. So It’s normal in couple that one partner is different than the other and they just learn how to live with each other and love each other . She thought she loves her husband and he also loves her back. Now her whole foundation of marriage is questionable and trust is shattered. Arnav single-handedly decided not that he has fallen out of love. She tried to discuss with Arnav in the last one year on multiple occasions, but he always ran away from her. He was even getting suffocated by the domesticity.
6. Another thing which I did not like (just my opinion)is his behavior when he was in conversation with Lavanya and taking care of all the mess and khushi was there under the same roof, and how he ignored her was also totally unacceptable. He was doing the right thing for Lavanya but what about his wife?.He definitely took her for granted. That part was the worst part for me when he was not meeting her eyes. Yes, we audience know that it was because of his guilt but it was devastating for totally unsuspecting wife of 10 years. I don’t think I can ever forgive him for that if I am Khushi

7. His actions after his ONS have been also unacceptable . Even if he had decided for divorce by that time and also to let go of Khushi, however he should have some kind of respect for his 10 year old wife . This is not how a normal couple behave. When he did a mistake, and he was guilty, Normally, his first reaction should have been to go and talk to Khushi immediately. This was a big event in their decade old marriage. It was not a trivial thing to wait for correct time. Unfortunately, these incidents will further confirm khushi’s question about foundation of their marriage. Basically because of his personality disorder and guilt, he made things much more worse.

8. I have been always for happy ending forever for Arshi. Right now Khushi is very hurt and for her to come out of trauma she does need to get away from Arnav and be independent and gain her self-respect back. When she is on equal platform, then maybe she will think about anything . After this trauma in this marriage, I feel it would be unlikely for her to start new relationship with anyone else. New entry may help her to heal some of her grief etc but don’t see any romantic angle there.

I still feel that Arnav is redeemable despite all the mess he has created because khushi still loves him and I want her to be happy. He also is good person by heart. I understand Arnav tried to do right things in his head but lending up hurting khushi immensely .

As someone said— he will have to move Jameen and aasman to seek forgiveness for his miscalculated deeds.

Poor Arnav and khushi— our star crossed lovers. Lets see what destiny has in store for them.

I am still optimistic ❤️🥰.

A truly balanced take Mrieshka. Agree with all the points you mentioned.

As readers our reactions are affected by the additional knowledge that we have. Khushi doesn’t have that luxury. Arnav doesn’t have that either. And so they’re bound to make mistakes 🙂🙂🙂

As a reader Arpita, this chapter has some of my favourite lines from this FF. Heartbreak aside, this was a joy to read. Listing down a few of my favourites lines

“Each step towards the bedroom was a climb that felt like scaling a mountain of his own misdeeds, the summit an elusive chance at forgiveness at her feet”

“Her desperation to forgive him was bigger than his desperation to be forgiven”

“should have resisted the lure of temporary pleasure that would come at the expense of a lifetime of love”

“He knew she would believe him, just like she had done up till now, and that would just kill him a little bit more.”

“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.”

“It was a good thing human heart was not as fragile as it was made out to be in poems because right at this response, Arnav’s would have stopped.”

This is a very redeemable relationship. Both do love each other. They went wrong in communicating their needs and feelings, he more than her. They need to work through a lot but its doable. They are good people and deserve to be happy. It will not be easy for Khushi to be happy with someone else anytime soon. So for her sake, more than anything, I want them to work out.

But they should start with a new foundation. There needs to be equality, understanding, and respect between them. No taking anyone for granted. He needs to open up about his secrets. Make decisions with her not for her. Only then can she feel like an equal partner.

Common interests need to be developed too or they might find themselves back on the same road. They don't seem to have traveled together at all. He always went ona his solitary trips. That needs to change. They need to do more together. Like she said in her letter, be part of each other's world.

Yes 💯 agree. This is still redeemable. But Arnav has to do hell lot of efforts to make Khushi feel important in his life

May be a small seperation where Khushi goes away to do her masters might work too. Arnav felt he is not important for Khushi than a child, he got to know it as a lie. I think now it's Arnav's turn to show Khushi how she is important to him

He also needs to face whatever is stopping him having a child. He needs to confide in Khushi about the root cause of his fears. No more secrets

Make sure take genuine interest in each other's world's. Take long vacations.

But before that they need to make sure they can communicate in whichever form or shape they are comfortable

Hey BollyBabe,

I also wanted to reiterate what Isha and Arpita said. I think your take and your words have full right to be here. And at the risk of speaking for someone else, I don't think Shraddha meant to disrespect your opinion either. I really hope you do not stop expressing your opinions here, because believe it or not, I learn a lot from your point of view, even if I may not agree to all of it. I readily accept that people are different and that their experiences color their judgements and opinions too. I hope you continue to share your opinions on this story. Despite this just being a story of a couple (as stated by the author), it has forced me think about many issues that I don't necessarily have the time/need or context to think about. It has forced me to take a stand. And it is truly impossible to understand what your opinion is and to have conviction in your opinion without listening to all possible point of views and evaluating where you stand in the scheme of things.

Cheers!

Perfectly written mrishka. I think u have summed up most everyone's feelings here

We all feel khushi's hurt. She didn't deserve this. Understandably we all want Arnav to beg, grovel at her feet, atone for his sins against her

Many of us still feel the marriage is redeemable with lots of efforts and they both love each other to actually put these efforts in. They also need professional help. Atleast Arnav definitely needs it to get out of his guilt

Khushi needs to stand on her own two feet. This will help her also to feel equal. I won't say it was her fault but the insecurity that she is not good enough to fit in Arnav's world held her back from demanding things. She did not consider herself equal and Arnav messed up taking her for granted. Her independence will help both of them here

But i am still hopefully. They love each other too much for me to think otherwise. VD or no VD
