R believes the word M is to be applied to all crushes, infatuations, and even beginnings of love, regardless of whether it is indeed truly and deeply, and whether it will stand the test of time.
S believes in the M word but is unable to process its beginnings nor to let it grow and continue toward greater depths let alone see if it will stand the test of time.
ARI believes the M word will bring him pain and so is mainly unprepared to even fight to see if he can turn the tide from pain to pleasure, and if this new-fangled emotion in him will stand the rest of time.
So all three lost when the test came.
R, because he didn't believe in his love enough to find out the details from all parties, and even if the news was true, to wait for his love.
He loses hope too soon.
S, because she thinks a monster is incapable of feeling love and so shuts herself off to any overtures of gentler emotions in the past, present, and future.
She does not allow hope to build.
ARI, because at the first quake, he allowed his world of cards-of-love to shake and tremble, to lose its top tiers, struggling to erase the foundation himself without checking all facts and without deeply understanding the object of his affection. If he had done so, he'd never have believed any of it, regardless of all proofs presented to the contrary.
He clings to the tether of hope even as he tries to drown it.
M, is indeed, their test, and, so far, all are failing.

Well said...
Mohabbat has various stages ...
and this was the beginning...
slowly and steadily they will all become believers.
Jigar moradabadi sahib ne arz kiya hai...
ik lafz-e-mohabbat kaa adanaa saa fasaanaa hai
simTe to dil-e-aashiq phaile to zamaanaa hai
ye kisakaa tasavvur hai, ye kisakaa fasaanaa hai
jo ashk hai aa.Nkho.n me.n tasbiih kaa daanaa hai
ham ishq ke maaro.n kaa itanaa hii fasanaa hai
rone ko nahii.n koii ha.Nsane ko zamaanaa hai
vo aur vafaa dushman, maane.nge na maanaa hai
sab dil kii sharaarat hai aa.Nkho.n kaa bahaanaa hai
kyaa husn ne samajhaa hai kyaa ishq ne jaanaa hai
ham Khaak-nashiino.n kii Thokar me.n zamaanaa hai
vo husn-o-jamaal unakaa ye ishq-o-shabaab apanaa
jiine kii tamannaa hai maranaa kaa zamaanaa hai
yaa vo the Khafaa ham se yaa ham the Khafaa unase
kal un kaa zamaanaa thaa aaj apanaa zamaanaa hai
ashko.n ke tabassum me.n aaho.n ke tarannum me.n
maasuum mohabbat kaa maasuum fasaanaa hai
aa.Nkho.n me.n namii sii hai chup-chup se vo baiThe hai.n
naazuk sii nigaaho.n me.n naazuk saa fasaanaa hai
hai ishq-e-junuu.N-peshaa! haa.N ishq-e-junuu.N-peshaa
aaj ek sitamagar ko ha.Ns ha.Ns ke rulaanaa hai
ye ishq nahii.n aasaa.N itanaa to samajh liije
ek aag kaa dariyaa hai aur Duub ke jaanaa hai
aa.Nsuu to bahot se hai.n aa.Nkho.n me.n 'Jigar' lekin
bi.ndh jaaye so motii hai rah jaaye so daanaa hai
