Hey Swati !


From my first few comments not Arnav's affair, but behavior/actions, towards soon to be divorced wife, Khushi, had bothered me.


I have not called or seen it as cheating but disrespectful, self love, entitled...the list is long!


The last chapter covers that how Khushi has also perceived it. In fact much more factoring in Khushi's personality and their relationship with each other.

The chapter also covers how he has cut her off even before the ONS.

As I clearly stated on my detailed thoughts and my many comments before, I have long ago moved on from the ONS. For me just like law, this is mutual without scientific evidences. I hate to say this but this is how law perceives things because Arnav and Lavanya will provide exact opposite statements and there is no third person as witness or medical tests to prove more to it. They did not go to the law and walked away without arguing is another reason to say they took equal responsibility for the mishap and I am waiting for the La chapter. What I feel personally (Viagra or drink spiking happed) has ZERP value.


If Arnav's behavior with his wife was crass since one year (Dec 2014 onwards) but my specific point is that his behavior after Lavanya incident in Pachgani, from Nov 8th - Dec 18th 2015 when he finally first time talked to Khushi about the divorce, Arnav meeting Lavanya because he has sympathy, care for her and he claims to provide emotional support for La is CLEAN BROAD DAY LIGHT EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL and CYBER CHEATING in worst possible way and there is no two ways about this. Arnav's excuses or his experiences with his sister making him do certain things does NOT change this fact.


Regarding why he bought La stories and ignored many stupid statements of hers in the restaurant and focused on only few...maybe some will get covered in subsequent chapters.

****

1. Also to me this ONS is not infidelity (irresespective of what really happened) because of the repeated nos of a drunk man ! Is that acceptable to Khushi his wife or many readers..nope.

I totally agree with you, as I said above I have moved on and never called this infidelity. Grave drunken mistake, maybe. Or I am ok with whatever writer calls it or how Khushi proceeds on this. Though for now Khushi has refused to forgive him for Lavanya.

2. To me when "any" woman after a "mutual" drunken ONS with a "stranger" wants to carry a baby to term not abort..the onus/responsibility is on her. This stance of mine may/was unacceptable to many.

This is 200% right across the world. Onus here was only on Lavanya. Arnav claiming responsibility and honor is the worst excuse I have ever heard, when in fact she is his shame, guilt and dark secret that he is hiding from the world.

In reality, the ONS is shameful adultery for any married man / woman, Arnav himself has proved it too by going miles to catch photographer and dispose of his compromised pics with La. If he was so righteous, why hasn't he come out in the open, accept responsibility in public when he is a public figure?

3. Shyam aggressive and forceful behavior in past and today is of the worst kind.

Shyam is pathetic excuse of human being and I have always refrained from commenting, not worth it. I have declared it Khushi's biggest mistake to even opt for seeing him and moved on.


So each one of us reading this fiction based on our beliefs and perceptions. 😘

Let me reiterate, my main concern is Arnav's cheating by meeting Lavanya later in NOv-Dec 2015 timeframe.

If Arnav's behavior with his wife was crass since one year (Dec 2014 onwards) but my specific point is that his behavior after Lavanya incident in Pachgani, from Nov 8th - Dec 18th 2015 when he finally first time talked to Khushi about the divorce, Arnav meeting Lavanya because he has sympathy, care for her and he claims to provide emotional support for La is CLEAN BROAD DAY LIGHT EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL and CYBER CHEATING in worst possible way and there is no two ways about this. Arnav's excuses or his experiences with his sister making him do certain things does NOT change this fact.

This is a fact no one can deny - The story writer and readers that support Arnav in this story, readers like me who do NOT support Arnav from this story and neutral readers who feel sympathy for both Arnav and Khushi. There is open proof, BLACK and WHITE in the story that Arnav was sympathetic, caring and emotionally involved with Lavanya while keeping his wife in dark about the Panchgani ONS incident, his meetings with Lavanya, phone calls and texts.

- Swati

I want to know your opinion on Arnav's behavior during Nov-Dec 2015, nothing else.

Arpita, Please don't say sorry. I am happy with the story the way you are presenting it. As far as I am concerned this story is exploring human emotions so beautifully and they are very close to reality.

From the beginning you have been saying Arnav and Khushi are flawed characters and that is what they are to me, nothing more nothing less. Even when the prologue started with an affair between Lavanya and Arnav and ended with Arnav's plans to divorce Khushi, I was sure there is more to it and I should not jump to conclusions. With every chapter you are proving that there is a lot more we don't know yet and there is a lot more the characters themselves don't know yet.

I am up for this emotionally challenging ride.

Take your time and take care!

Cheers..

Hey Swati.


I read the whole thing. Thanks for putting every thought in order and making me understand what exactly it is that’s troubling you.


I will respond to all of it today. After my office. And I hope it clears my stance. But just for immediate respite, here’s a couple of things I want to clear right away.


I have read several discussions around it even though I was not the active part of it. I think a good chunk of you guys indulged in those back and forth discussions.


Which is why I believe many of these points have been touched already. Have been talked about already. And a few of them I’m sure have been clarified by me as well. I will however go over them once more which answering your questions because at this point I feel like I am repeating myself every other page and it’s getting lost between a sea of things.


You have put in a lot of effort to collate this all and rest assured, I will be giving my explanation to all. By the end today hopefully ♥️


Also, I hope it’s understandable that a lot of topics cannot be touched directly without giving away important things that are yet to come. But I think at this point this issue has grown so big that what i wrote in the FF is not explanation enough. I will anyway reiterate that. Arnav was reminded of his sister and his best friend when he decided to offer his support to la in the first place. He is clearly emotional about that situation. I thought the explanation was enough but then again, this is the lack of clarity in my writing I was talking about. I am already working on it.


Another thing I have clarified before and I want to clarify again. Is that FF and prologue day was written like this intentionally. If there was Arnav knowing the identity of the caller, there was also Arnav saying “I have a lawyer Khushi but…”


If Arnav was shown as uncaring towards Khushi, it was also shown that he cried the day she left Shantivan and he cried the day he went to penthouse to meet her. I like to believe I left enough hints for FF to go both ways which is why some readers had the hope of this not being an affair. And I chose one way to expand the details then.


I will respond in detail. And I fully accept even by the end of the explanation it may not make complete sense to a lot of you. I am okay with that too ♥️ At that point we will have to agree to disagree because I see no other solution.


All I can promise is that this will not impact the FF and you guys will still be at liberty to choose to hate or like a character. I’m never gonna force that on any of my readers! I never have. Any reader, national or international can still choose to dislike either Arnav or Khushi based on their actions here in the story. I am more than aware of that. Any of my personal views have been strictly kept to comments and never in chapters.


You told me to see things from Khushi’s pov and I had promised you that I will not hold back from Khushi’s pain and I will see things from her pov once we arrive at that juncture. I believe I have delivered on that promise in the last chapter. So no, when I am explaining things from Arnav’s point of view, I am not undermining a wife’s pain who I too believe has been wronged. That character is also written up by me. Her pain to me is as important as Arnav’s dilemma. I will again point towards the last chapter.


Whatever direction discussions here take, I have never once hinted in the FF that Arnav is absolved of the mistakes he made. If anything, Arnav’s character in the story agrees with all that you said. That he has hurt Khushi and he is too late.


Lastly the thing that I am worried about. Is wasting anyone’s time. I have already made me peace with the fact that end/ plot will not see a united audience. I have always said that. It includes people who are let down by plots or story turns. It matters to me ♥️


Will try to write it all down by today. ✌🏻♥️

Arpita,

Maybe I confused you by writing a big comment but I wanted to show you the whole picture. I am not concerned about the impact on FF or changing the end etc. That is your liberty as a writer. And it's ok for us readers to like or dislike any characters in a story, I agree with you on that too.

It's a beautiful emotional story, topic is so difficult and hats off to you for even touching it.

Coming back to main point, I want you to address ONLY one thing that is the big elephant in the room and nothin else -

Arnav's behavior with his wife has been accepted by himself now as crass since one year (Dec 2014 onwards) but my specific point of focus is that his behavior after Lavanya incident in Pachgani, from Nov 8th - Dec 18th 2015 when he finally first time talked to Khushi about the divorce, Arnav meeting Lavanya because he has sympathy, care for her and he claims to provide emotional support for La while Khushi has no clue, is CLEAN BROAD DAY LIGHT EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL and CYBER CHEATING in worst possible way and there is no two ways about this. Arnav's personal experiences with his sister in the past making him do certain things which his wife and readers do NOT know and eventually will be exposed in upcoming chapters does NOT change this fact.

This is one fact no one can deny - The story writer and readers that support Arnav in this story, readers like me who do NOT support Arnav from this story and neutral readers who feel sympathy for both Arnav and Khushi. There is open proof, BLACK and WHITE statements in the story that Arnav was sympathetic, caring and emotionally involved with Lavanya while keeping his wife in dark about the Panchgani ONS incident, his meetings with Lavanya, phone calls and texts. Also he knew his was hurting his wife by his behavior but continued to ill-treat her while going to the other woman.

And no excuse, I mean no excuse on this planet allows anyone including Arnav to cheat so blatantly on his / her spouse. This is all I wanted to point out and wanted you to address.

I will wait for your reply to reconsolidate my thoughts.

.

Swati I had the exact same thoughts while reading it that he was sooo human and supportive towards Lavanya where as with khushi his behaviour was completely crass. If nothing but the 10 years of relationship needs some respect from his side towards khushi. This makes me feel so bad for the good people like khushi have really no place in this world anymore . It’s like being wrong is sooo acceptable by families frnds and society in general.

The first line of this post is genuinely hurting to me ; that despite being absolutely patient with very polar opposite views, I have always maintained and even interfered in discussions to defend anyone’s right to say anything over here; and that has come off as me being openly supportive to one of the characters.


I would have even understood the accusations before the last chapter. But I am genuinely confused and mighty hurt to listen to this after I specially dedicated the last whole chapter explaining exactly how much Khushi has been affected. By everything. Including his behaviour during oct-dec’15. I have made no adjustments to Khushi’s retorts and replies based on what I and the readers know of Arnav’s behaviour so I’m left utterly dazed with this whole thing.


Also the last paragraph. No, nothing gives Arnav the right to do to Khushi what he did. But I have repeatedly listed my reasons for him to do so and I was going to the same thing again today. With much more detail and hoping to fill in the gaps which I believe are there due to long chapters and timeline jumps.


I neither expected everyone to be onboard with Arnav’s action nor have I made Khushi try to understand his point of view. She is hurt and angry and broken and that’s all I depicted in the last chapter.


I personally wrote the character who made these mistakes, the one who chose to go comfort Lavanya. I know more about his psyche and life history than what the plot has revealed. I am the one who has purposely written Arnav’s mistakes. I am bound to understand his reasoning. As I am bound to understand Khushi’s hurt.


Which is why Arnav was not let off the hook by Khushi on any of the points that you mentioned. He was even grilled on points by Khushi that all of you missed.


One more thing that I don’t understand about the last paragraph- every single reader here started this FF with an image of Arnav way worse than meeting Lavanya because she was pregnant. Everyone thought he had a full fledged affair and still kept reading the story. Now that the nuance is him meeting a woman he feels responsible for (that too, thrice. Kept meeting her represents something else entirely), there is a bigger lashing out? Despite me never letting him off the hook in the story for any of it???


And this is exactly what I apologised for in the previous comment. I thought the writing has had gaps. I will apologise for this as well if it came off as taking sides. I have only ever openly spoken if I felt like character was being accused of something they didn’t do. And I have done this for both Arnav and Khushi. Happily. I’m once again sorry if it came off this strong.


I will still answer all the question you had in your original comment because I had begun collecting my thoughts to flow in a better way and hoped that I will be able to fill out the gaps that have been left by my writing. Because I’m sure more readers have similar questions. Allow me time till tomorrow or maybe weekend because right now I don’t want to deal with a single part of this story.


Edit - despite me coming off as supporter of one character over the other, I will still defend your right to say anything on the forum. I will never force any readers to like or even agree to Arnav’s actions. I will still try my best to answer all the questions you meticulously laid down. And hope that it might shed some light on where I was coming from when I wrote the sequence.

Hi Arpita,


I am extremely sorry that you are hurt. I can understand your emotions right now. It’s the worst kind of feedback for an author when readers attack the basic premise of the story. I am once again very sorry you are hurt. You are a brilliant author and you come across as a wonderful human being and I’m sorry to see you in this situation.

Also please be clear you just reacted and responded to the comments. Not many writers take the time and effort to do so. Which was very magnanimous of you. You responded to all comments without any bias. I can vouch for it but I’m sure they are many who will agree with me.

Since you said this is our forum and our space too I’m going to take the liberty to say my piece. The author writes a story and puts it out there. Every reader interprets it as per their personality, their personal experiences and their situations at that time of reading a book or story. I’m a voracious reader and I can claim this to be true. It’s your duty as an author to tell your story and it’s upto us readers to interpret it in our own way. This being a forum we have the luxury and privilege to interact and share our emotions and thoughts with you and with each other. That being said it should not be misused and no one reader can force the others to accept their theory or opinion about the story. I do not need proof black or white or any other color to form my opinions. This is a very well presented sensitive story. Not a legal case with the law involved. I will not agree that Arnav cheated emotionally or otherwise and no one and I MEAN NO ONE can convince me otherwise. I have a right to my opinion and I stand by it. I have empathy towards the character Arnav and I will not change my opinion. Similarly I feel for Khushi a lot but that doesn’t stop me from empathizing for Arnav. I will have my opinions and like I respect others opinions I expect mine to be respected too. Arguing and having opinions is nice only till it’s a healthy debate. After that it ceases to be a debate.

I hope I didn’t say anything that would further hurt you Arpita. If so I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Let me reiterate that you are one of the best authors I have read to date and I hope you continue to write wonderful stories in the future too.

Good luck and lots of hugs and love to you 🤗❤️❤️❤️

Hi Arpita


Sorry to jump in here but I can't see u feeling hurt. U have given us this wonderful story and you feeling let down by the comments board which u enthusiastically encouraged so far is really disheartening. I think you have made your points clear but I still want to add my thoughts if it's alright and I apologize to extend this further. But I can't help it too


Your point in red bold - absolutely. You have explained the reasons very clearly in Arnav's DML.he faked sympathy and support due to his sense of honour. Now everyone can have different opinions on this and that's alright but as a part of story I think you were absolutely clear on Arnav's stance on this matter. And we have that clarity too


About the purple bold point - yes people were appalled that Arnav is having a full fledged affair after initial chapters but now if he did a something which he felt his honour demanded then he has become a more heinous villain? I am surprised.

To be honest right from start I kept finding clues and possible reasons for Arnav's behaviour because somehow I never believed he cheated. That was too drastic a change from your Arnav of 2005-2006.


You had left us enough clues to know that there's more to the story than meets the eye. Which I feel is still the case. There are many things, incidents which are hidden yet which will bring more clarity to the plot


I would request the fellow posters that having an opinion is absolutely fine and we should have healthy discussions. Let's not badger Arpita to define her stand halfway through the story. Her stand is her story. We will know at the end of this beautiful journey.lets just enjoy it


Arpita I am sorry if I said anything that might have hurt you. Take care.lots of love❤️❤️
