Does Aarti deserve severe punishment for lying? - Page 8

I loved your post, @TM! 😊

Aarti definitely needs a reality check for the way she has hidden the truth from Yash for so long because though initially, it was not her fault with her coming to know only on the day of the wedding and then Dubeys blackmailing her, she had umpteen chances to tell him later! Why did she let herself be blackmailed by the Dubeys into keeping quiet again and agagin? And while I can forgive her everything else, I cannot forgive her for going ahead with the BMT without telling Yash...not after the numerous times when Yash proved to her that he trusts her and cared for her! She still does not trust him fully...probably it is a backlash of the post-Mumbai trauma! But still she overstepped her limits here and once that was done, the rest was inevitable! Prashant entered her life, her home, invaded her privacy and she had to keep quiet...it was a lie begetting another lie and so on! I would not be happy if Yash took her at face value and supported her...I don't want any separation but I do want her to realize how wrong she was and only Yash and his anger, hurt and indifference will teach her that!

At the same time, I am not completely happy with how Yash got away so easily with his mad behaviour earlier! His temper tantrum during Palak's birthday and humiliating Aarti in front of all family cum guests was really shocking. His behaviour post-Mumbai was worse. He was physically and emotinally abusive towards Aarti. Post his boxing match, he calmed down, but he expected Aarti to be the same old Aarti...wasn't that the heights of insensitivity? He was puzzled because she was silent and withdrawn...he never reflected on how his behaviour might have had a hand in that! Then she ran away (which was wrong in my opinion, but I understood her panic!) and finally he came to terms with himself and with his punar vivah after a reality check from his father. But all through what followed...discovery of the complications of pregnancy, his caring and looking after her...we did not get any self-thoughts from him or any FBs on how badly he had treated her. On KC night, he admitted that he felt bad when he remembered how badly he had behaved, but that was not enough...I wanted to see his regrets. There is no need of a verbal apology, his actions spoke for his words, but I wanted to see him regretting his past behaviour...maybe while watching her sleep or playing with the kids! If Aarti is still scared of him after all his care and love, then it is because of his anger and madness post-Mumbai and so in a way, he has still not atoned fully for his madness.

Hopefully, the upcoming track after the truth is out will be redemption for both Yash and Aarti...maybe we will get his regrets when he realizes that he was also partly responsible for her hiding the truth from him...and we will get her realization on how wrong she was to hide her past from him! From what I have seen so far, I feel we will get to see this...I hope and wish!
