I agree with most your post.
However, the moral dilemma was Purvi's first and foremost.
Be selfish and build her own life or think about the lives of Aai and Ovi and in turn the whole K and D clan? She was hosed either way. She never thought Arjun and herself to be two different entities and with that in her mind she made the ultimate sacrifice.
And then, the only time she cried for her abject loneliness, was when her mother finally went home. Much as everyone will deny it, she WAS the catalyst for that event.
Purvi not only kept a brave front, but genuinely tried moving on.
But destiny is strange, na?
It was a royal mess from the get go. The feeble protests from all family members, those very same that saw the bottomless love between Arjun and Purvi; those very same who let Ovi be Ovi; those very same who constantly sited the unmatchable love of Archana and Manav. The only person who could be by Purvi's side? Had his hands tied...
It is more of a royal mess right now. The drinking and the mistrust; the sweeping of Ovi's shenanigans under the carpet; the sudden volte face; the obvious shell of a man that is Arjun; the selling of Onir to all and sundry as prize damaad material when Purvi has clearly stated otherwise; the thankfulness of all family members towards Purvi for all she has done; and most of all...the elephant in the room, Purvi's obviously advanced pregnancy...
It is going to be the epitome of a royal mess pretty soon. This when the blackmailer reveals all; what is the bargaining chip here, anyway? Or at the very least when the truth comes out. Reactions?
Ovi, in her new avatar ..I don't know
Arjun, I expect him to go ballistic (wishes are mostly not horses here though, watch me NOT flying)
Manav will blame Archana
Archana will probably look to slap someone...Onir, I think? Everyone else is otherwise occupied!
Onir with his un-understandable character sketch...I don't know
And again last but not the least, the moral dilemma is Purvi's.
Should she have told Arjun, then? Should she not tell Arjun herself now? Does her child deserve to know its natural father, as she never did? Doesn't the father deserve to know and decide for himself? Does she realize that her child could possibly grow up to feel as obligated as she herself does? She has realized that she has done wrong by Arjun...should she let this continue?
The first dilemma, Archana couldn't help her...
The second dilemma, Onir is not helping her ...
[/QUOTE @ bold your description is well done. you made me so emotional
@ red I love how you bring out the point. Some tend to forget ovi's wrong doings and only remember's purvi's. you summarized it excellently
