Ok...so we have studied, sliced and analysed ASR's character every which way possible. We have explanations for why he is the way he is and why he behaves the way he does. We have our versions of how his painful past might be affecting his present and possibly his future. But what we have not addressed so far is "what is it exactly that he expects Khushi to do?"
In the weeks before Diwali, HE was the one ogling her through the million eyelocks and even otherwise.
HE chose to return her payal. HE chose to start the kiss with her, which ofcourse never got finished (dammit!!!!) Then HE realized that he was being weak so HE lashed at her and announced his intention to marry Lavanya to hurt her. Then HE was upset with her for not being upset about his announcement. HE called her names and told her that she did not mean anything to him.
Then HE never wanted to see her face ever again. Yet HE followed her to the mandir to take care of her wound AND to remind her how he never wanted to see her face again.
Now that he has announced his plans to marry Lavanya, he is "taken". So Khushi cannot confess her feelings to him, as that would be out of the line. But upon hearing about HER sagai he is livid and feels betrayed and lashes back by announcing engagement to Lavanya (if the rumors about the ME are true).
Now how exactly is Khushi supposed to react to all of the above? If she confesses her true feelings to him then she would be bertaying Lavanya and disrespecting the La-ASR (informal) engagement. Not only that, HE could also call her a gold digger trying to phasao a wealthy man.
If she lets him be and gets on with her own life, then he does not like it either.He is not letting Lavanya go, neither is their relationship going anywhere.
If Khushi declares her love for him, then not only would she make a fool of herself for all she knew, coz he had made it crystal clear that he NEVER EVER wanted to see her face EVER AGAIN, but she will also betray Lavanya who trusts her so completely and thinks of her as a friend and confidant. Its a matter of principle for her.
So how in the world is Khushi supposed to go about this situation? She is doomed if she does and doomed if she doesn't. WHAT THE (blank) is ASR expecting her to do?
