And like you said the pulling away will come from Aarti and not Yash. She is already feeling guilty and hurt at deceiving him. After seeing his unconditional support she will feel even more guilty that she kept all this from him for so long. In the MF there is a post by Nikki by the title: Should Aarti deserve punishment. It is a very interesting post where there are many many views that said Yash should show indifference to Aarti only then will she realize her mistakes. Aarti is a person who has already started realizing her mistakes. Because she still finds it difficult to blurt out the truth does not mean that she does not realize the grave mistake she is committing. To me there is no need for Yash to show any indifference because way before that Aarti will be drowning in a sea of guilt and self loathing. What could be a bigger punishment than that.

Kirthi, while I agree with you about the bolded part, I do want to see some reaction on Yash's part. I do not want him to accept her past without question as to why she did not tell him...because you see in some way, he is also responsible for her not being able to confide in him! His constant emphasis that he does not like lies and his past behaviour where he went berserk, that is part of why Aarti is not able to open up. True he has more than made up for his behaviour, but that kind of trauma remains in the subconscious and she needs some kind of solid confirmation that he will not freak out again before she can confess. So I want that small rift between them before Yash accepts and prepares to pull Aarti out of the mess...because that way both will realize their mistakes in their punar vivah! Yash had it too easy to come out of his funk post Mumbai...he has not reflected really on his behaviour then or what effect it has had on Aarti...just because she forgave him everything without even being asked for forgiveness!

I have posted on the thread which you have mentioned...I want to see redemption for both and for that a small rift for reflections is necessary! I don't want a separation but more a withdrawal even on Yash' part!

I can forgive Aarti everything except for the final lie...that of hiding the BMT from Yash, because while she may still have reservations on their husband-wife relationship, she has no doubts on Yash-Ansh relationship...and she insulted that when she gave in to blackmail by Dubeys.

Similarly, while Yash may be head over heels in love with Aarti now, he did treat her badly earlier and as per my feeling, he has not really atoned for it fully yet...in spite of all the lovey-dovey scenes, because he has not been able to instill that feeling of trust in her and she fears she will lose him

Shobhs, I completely agree with you especially the part in bold. When I say that he will unconditionally support her I do not mean to say that he will brush it under the rug and tell it is all hunky dory. No! The hurt, the betrayal will be there BUT most importantly the reflection will be there on Yash's part. His usual gut reaction ie the extreme anger is not what will be the ruling emotion in him. The ruling emotion will be his complete acceptance of what she went through. My feeling is that his questioning Aarti of why she did what she did will come much later. I think the first thing for him to do would be damage control especially when he realizes how vitriolic Kaki and Prashant can be.

I completely agree with you on Yash's part in this. And I think rift or no rift Yash will be able to reflect upon it seeing how much Aarti is loathing herself for deceiving him and if and when she pulls away from him completely emotionally. And like you said there might be a withdrawal like Aarti did after she the boxing match but I think it all depends on how the story pans out and the sequence of events that is going to happen. The 3rd BMT is coming up, possible hospitalization of Aarti is coming up. So these are things to take care of and the withdrawal might come after the immediate problems are solved. I think what I am saying is that I doubt Yash will pull away or be indifferent because he thinks this is all Aarti's fault. I think he will be immensely hurt but he will also begin to see his part in all this however small it is.

Oh yeah, the BMT is a biggie. In fact for me I feel, knowing Yash that is the thing that is going to hurt him more than the knowledge that she kept the truth about her marital status hidden from him. If I was Yash the fact that she did the BMT without asking is what would devastate me… not the divorce lie.

And for your last sentence….ditto my friend ditto. I have always loved Yash but that does not mean I feel he has atoned enough for the way he treated Aarti. And I think when Aarti begins her self loathing that in a way will be Yash's atonement too. Watching her remove herself emotionally from their life is going to kill him...😭

For all you know the CVs may have planned something else all together. 😆

@Sammy, I have a headache from vigorously nodding at every word of yours.

I loved what you wrote about the family and that is what I am most anxious about. To see their reactions. Unlike Yash their gut reaction might be one of anger but I would love to see a scene where SP and Gayu are sitting and discussing and remembering all that has happened from the day of the wedding until now. To me that is the biggest reward one can give oneself... the ability of self reflection.

And I think to myself how brilliantly the CVs had fooled us in the initial episodes. They gave us a different view of the Scindias, at least on the surface, and have shown us how they have evolved with time. I don't know if you remember few episodes back when the kids come back from the field trip and are sitting on SP's lap; Sp says Aarti Bahu was right and I thought it was throw back to the Parvarish debate. Similarly, more recently when Ansh climbed on the table to give his little speech about DID or some such program on Zee, Aarti darted a glance at the elders, half afraid that they wouldn't like Ansh climbing up on the coffee table but no one batted an eyelash. How far they have come. How much they have accepted Aarti. So Ya, it is hard to imagine that they would want to chuck Aarti out without processing the whys and the hows of this debacle.

Can you imagine we even accused Cas of murdering Arpita. 🤣

As for the words "deserve", "punishment" 😕 Ya it gives me a creepy feeling. I wonder when we say that someone deserves punishment be it Yash or Aarti isn't it to appease our own sense of morality?

Anyways, got to go. I just realized that you are officially done with the semester. Wohooo! Partyyy!😆
