Awesome part

As a conservative girl I could myself understand the emotional upheaval going in khushi especially for her parents

Beautiful part

Love arhi understanding

Aww thanks, I am also the conservative type. Everyone has their own priorities, worries, concerns. I was the same. But it is the understanding that needs to pass the test of time. Lets just hope that it does. Surprises coming in... Hopefully Arhi will survive this one. :)

Great! Khushi is very kind. ❤️

Khushi is an innocent girl, with a kind heart. Especially since her heart only has Arnav in it :)

Chapter 82

Minta: hey khushi, I wanted to thank you for saying yes to this. You have no idea how much this means to me, Tom..and Arnav. I mean, we never thought that you would ever say yes.

Khushi just sighed and tried to smile. She made two cups of tea and sat down on the sofa. Minta noticed her silence. She had seen that silence before. Minta knew khushi was hurt. She was going into her lock-down mode. Whenever, khushi was really hurt by something, or something would really disturb her, she would just make a cup of tea, and sit down quietly. She wouldnt talk, or react much to anything. She would lock herself out from the world. This was never a good sign. Minta knew khushi needed her friend to bring her out. She made her cup of tea and went and sat down beside khushi.

Minta: what happenedckhushi, i know you. What happened? I thought you were ok withcthe move? Hey listen, I mean, if it was a different situationcthen, I promise we would not have even said anything.

Khushi just looked atcminta. Her eyes were moist.

Khushi: The problem iscthat...I know.

Minta: know what khushi.

Minta looked side to side. Please,cplease, please God, Minta kept on praying in her mind.

Khushi sighed.

Khushi: I know that you two are notcmarried. Its ok Minta, I am not judging you or anyone. It is yourcchoice and honestly i am happy for the two of you. Each couple iscdifferent. I am happy that you have the ability to move forward incyour relationship. Not everyone is able to do that.

Minta looked at khushi in shock.

Minta: What are you talking about khushi, of course i got married.

Khushi just smiled and looked at minta.

Khushi: its ok Minta. Dont worry. Iam happy for you. I really am. I am still going to support this all. Yes, because you are my best friend, but more because Arnavwanted this. I think that is the only reason i agreed.

Minta: Listen, I am sooo sorry khushi. Me and tom just wanted to spend more time together, because he is also going after this year, and we still need to get to know and understand each other. Listen, We only said yes because arnav asked us to agree with him in saying this. He said this was the only way that he got you to agree. We wouldnt break your trust like this. Promise.

Khushi moved her one hand forward and placed it lovingly on mintas hand that was in her lap.

Khushi: I trust you all, dont worry.And it is a good thing Minta. It is a good chance for you two to get to know each other. Arnav and i have known each other since we were kids. So, we are different.

Minta: then, khushi, why are you upset. Are you not happy that you and arnav are going to be living together. I mean, isnt he also going away for years.

Khushi looked down again. She just stared at her chai. Held onto the handle with one hand and used the index finger on the other to just rub around the rim of the cup. She sighed.

Minta: Khushi, please tell me. I know you. Something is really bothering you.

Khushi: I am upset, because Arnav lied to me. He resorted to lying to me to compel me to say yes to this. I know he did, he didnt even look at me in the eyes when he said it. I know his every thought, his every emotion, his every desire. The problem is that...

Khushi stopped. She didnt know if she should talk to Minta about this or not. Was it right to talk to Minta about this. Maybe she would be able to help her, guide her.

Minta: khushi, bata do. Maybe, I can help. Remember the cottage trip, I was able to help you move forward and understand your own emotions. Hmm.. please tell me.

Khushi took a moment, she needed to first choose her words, choose what to say and what not to.

Khushi: Arnav wants to get more physical. We are more physical than before, yes. But, I am scared Minta, I am scared.

Minta: Of what?

Khushi: Main,,, kaisay bataon...main..

Minta: Khushi, please tell me.

Khushi: I still havent let arnav kiss me yet. We have come physically close, very very close at times. But, i am just scared. He is very persistent. What do I do?

Khushi looked at minta with a worried look. Minta was confused.

Minta: You two are engaged, have known each other since when, how long, and still havent kissed. Man, Arnav has some patience!

Khushi made a face and started to get up. Minta wasnt going to listen. Minta grabbed her hand.

Minta: Sorry sorry sorry. Ok. Listen, Just tell me why. I dont see anything wrong in you two getting closer, or an engaged couple kissing. I am going into a live-in relationship.

Khushi sighed and sat down. She really needed to explain her point of view to someone, maybe they would understand her, or they would be able to convince her or make her understand their perspective.

Khushi: it is for a reason Minta. You know this time when Arnav, I and all the siblings went out, we did spend a lot of intimate moments together. But, whenever it comes to kissing, then i am scared. No, not the nervousness scared. Man, I am not a child anymore. What do you think, that i dont have any desires, or also want to get close to him. I do. Minta, I am human. I also have feelings, desires, but. I am just scared.

Minta noticed khushi becoming a little hessitant. Minta placed one hand on khushis hand and looked at her friend with concern.

Minta: what is scaring you khushi. Arnav loves you, a lot. Man, I have never seen someone love someone like that ever. He is a genuine guy!

Khushi: I know, which is why i am more scared.

Minta: Of?

Khushi: That this great guy loves me,and i love him as well. I cant say no to him. And that is the problem. I know that if we do... kiss. Then i will never be able to stop him, or, even worse, stop myself.

Minta: Khushi, its ok. I mean, you will end up being together anyways. Right?

Khushi: Minta, i know that. But, its just that, i have a very strong belief that somethings should be left for after marriage. Bas. I am not one to follow the cultural norms that are always changing. Yes there are somethings in our culture that i do agree should be changed. Yes. For sure. But this, no. Put it this way. Before, we were just friends. We saw each other from a different perspective. Now we are engaged, we see each other differently. And when we get married that will be different. This, I personally believe should be left for that time. There are many people is different cultures, not just ours, that wait until after marriage.

Minta: I understand that khushi. But it is just a kiss.

Khushi: No minta, it is not just a kiss.

Minta paused for a second, the problem was something else. And Khushi was just trying to either hide it, or avoid it.

Minta: Khushi, I have known you long enough to know that it not it. You are just trying to cover up something with cultural rules and norms. That is it. What is the problem then? Why wont you let him close to you?

Minta looked at khushi with a stern face. She knew khushi a little better than she thought. Sometimes, when one is not able to figure out what is wrong, or one tries to give a reason for something, then a good friend is the one who can catch it. A good friend is a blessing that khushi had.

Khushi looked down and sighed. A small tear escaped her eye.

Minta held onto khushi hand. Khushi looked back up at Minta. Minta could see fear in khushi face, pain,but most of all sadness.

Minta: You are scared, but not becauseof physical intimacy. No, you are scared because... you have to stay apart for a long time after this.

Khushi closed her eyes and tears started to flow down her cheeks. Minta had figured it out. Khushi tiltled her head a down. Making sure to leave her eyes closed. Minta sighed.

Khushi: Minta, I am scared, yes. But for me. If I get too close, then how will I be able to survive the time he is gone? How? He has to leave for a couple of years. If I get too close, then I am setting my own heart up for heart ache, for loneliness. I wont be able to live without him. I just wont. I am scared Minta. I am really really scared. I never let anyone into my heart, And now that Arnav is there, I cant imagine him not being there. And if we come close, then...(she gulped), if will break down. I am already having a hard time trying to convince myself that he will come back, and I need to be strong. But if we get closer,than I wont be able to handle myself. I wont be able to be strong.I... I will break down.

Minta put her mug down, and gave khushi a hug. Khushi just cried while resting her head on Mintas shoulder. After a few moments, they heard a knock on the door. Minta went to get the door while khushi wiped her tears away.

Nice update. Khushi is right to feel that way but may be Arnav wants to be more close because he wants to cherish the moments between them when he will be away. Hope she conveys the same to Arnav and spend quality time together which both will cherish. Is that Arnav at the door? Waiting for the next update.

This is soooo unfair on Arnav’s part

Never expected this from him

It’s too big lie abt thr marriage to khushi

If minta tom wants to live in khushi would have been fine with it. She’s grown up and she must have seen the culture around

I am really upset with Arnav

Khushi should have told him on his face abt lie

I hope it’s Arnav on door and he has heard everything and should be repenting

Khushi’s insecurities are very valid

They both need to speak thr fear and desires to each other

Communication makes a relationship stronger

Still shaking my head for Arnav

Arnav should not have lied. Neither should have Tom and Minta. Khushi's fears do need to be dealt with. She can't spend her life with that kind of fear.

Oh God! Arnav lied. Now this is upsetting.

While I do agree with most people here, that Arnav shouldnt have lied.......but I honestly feel Khushi is victimizing herself a lot here..... I mean, honestly, all i have seen since last few chapters is everyone trying to understand her and do things her way, yet she feels she is the victim...

yes, Arnav shouldn't have lied about Tom and Minta, but Khushi herself have left him with no choice...... their relationship maybe from childhood and they know each other well, yet Arnav isn't sure how she will react to her friends going for a live-in relationship.........or rather he knows she will react negatively....... So Khushi herself is responsible for this behavior of his............ she has never been open to changes I feel.......for a level I can even let go her decision about her own self and body.........but here she seems like someone who wont even accept her friends doing something that she deems as wrong........ I am sorry but such people are not likeable....... yea I still like Khushi cause she is our Khushi and at least she doesnt force people to follow her way, so thats a positive..... but otherwise people around her will always tread the water cautiously and at times will have to lie if they know she will not understand other's point of view.......

So even though Arnav has lied, I only feel bad that he had to lie.......and feel sympathy for Tom and Minta that they were forced to lie to someone who they call their friends, only so that they can spend more time together.........

I hope at least now Khushi will understand that just like them, even she and Arnav has limited time and she is not being fair to him.......

and her point, about not able to control and how to live later if they miss the physical aspect is something i dont agree with.......after all even now they are controlling themselves, right ?........ and what if they are not physical before they separate for his education, will she not miss him more ? Is it only the physical part that she is concerned about ? and wont miss his presence around her later on ??
