Nice .Heartbreaking update of khushi. Its not easy to adapt Husband lifestyle and emotions but khushi did it . Respect must in Marriage i think arnav never think about khushi emotions . Ego and pride is dangerous especially for men . Last coffin is cheating. Cheating never heals and it always Hurting . Next part soon pls .

This chapter was so poignant. Your heart goes out to that young girl who found her "sapnon ke raajkumar", the one who felt like a fish out of water, who most likely had to change her notions about a whole lot of things that she had been raised with. But her innate understanding of his need to be left alone even when she was young and least experienced to handle life came through. Her decision of not bringing a child into this world, for not wanting him to feel trapped. I can imagine with a decade old marriage the kind of pressure that would have come her way for starting a family. He I'm guessing is a loner by nature. The sheer helplessness that both of them are feeling came through beautifully.

Interesting that the last scenes in this chapter have Khushi finally sleeping on Buaji’s loving lap while Arnav sits alone in his office wondering if there is any point to it all. Also, what happened two years into their marriage which was the last time he really cried? At this point in their lives it seems to me that Arnav’s reactions to Khushi’s feelings have little to do with sparing her grief but sparing his guilt and even his ego as she is not reacting as he predicted. No, I don’t think he is showing he cares for her because he still has feelings for her. I don’t think he is just being a jerk. It is beyond that. When he filed for divorce he was about as low in character as you could possibly go in a marriage. He has been unfaithful, seems emotionally as well as physically absent with the added insult of preparing for a divorce from a wife that he thinks still loves him at least from the prologue’s description of their anniversary morning. And, he was prepared to break her heart to get his way as he knows how she feels about divorce. And, everyone knows but her. He has a long way to go to climb out of the gutter in my book. Khushi, on the other hand, has a long ways to go in climbing out of her perception that she is a second class citizen and that her wants and needs are of secondary importance. A long journey for both. But, somehow Khushi’s journey for me, will hopefully see her blossoming into a new happy woman never to repeat the mistake of devaluing herself in a relationship. While, Arnav I hope stews in his own juices as he comes to terms with what a low character he has been. I hope Khushi finds a life partner that will love and cherish her as an equal while my sense of vengeance right now has trouble wishing the same for Arnav. He’s sunk too far.

😅Even though it has been repeatedly stated that Lavanya is not the reason for divorce...sleeping with her did drive the final nail in the coffin in a troubled marriage😊

So readers know that she is here to stay and even if she has today miraculously reformed don't have to like her😊

Yes it just a story but you would agree in no culture ..indian or otherwise are the other woman/man ever liked. 😊

More than Arnav, I am concerned about Khushi's journey. As others have pointed out, she has lost the most. Everything at this point. We really want to see her come out this in one piece and find happiness again.

This story hits close to heart for all of us. We are feeling Khushi's pain and crying for her.

"About what?” Arnav said as he moved his queen back to safety and out of line of sight of the bishop."

Is there any deeper meaning to it? or I am just being plain stupid for still trying to find some silver lining in all of arnav's action?

When akash came to console him after khushi left shantivan and arnav said "just for that one promise of taking care of her always." And now in this chapter the queen thing, the confidential tag on the file, arnav saying professional and personal reasons regarding bitebox and finally thinking if all these even matter anymore...

Can all the dots be connected and is there still any hope regarding arnav's action or I am just being emotionally stupid? (This is coming purely from the diehard arshi fan in me even after arnav being this JERK!)

The only thing i.e stopping me from absolutely loathing the male protagonist of the story is the name 'Arnav' and the face of Barun Sobti attached to it. Had it been anyone else I would have absolutely abhored.

La is already going to come in following chapter, can we expect entry of shyamji??😉

Or can we expect a new character called Bankelalji in Khushi's life? 😃

You have succinctly covered all that I felt as I read this chapter. Be it her innate understanding or not bearing a child to hold on to her husband/marriage. A poignant chapter indeed😘

What I also observed that the 19 year old Khushi was naive, unsure,trying to fit in but not anymore. In her conversation with Payal she is mature, poised, still giving and forgiving(comment to Payal to not abandon Arnav).

She is honest,matter of fact with Payal about her turmoil but has not reached out to her for help. A battle she is facing alone.

She has reflected and knows that her own parents and Bua can provide her emotional support she needs now. Not Arnav friends.

There is a resignation and an acceptance like in her musing that she is leaving behind a toxic and unbearable life. Or when she tells Payal about the divorce that Arnav does not change his mind. Or when she observes Arnav in the penthouse and the changes in him in last 10 years. One does not fight for things that is not worth fighting anymore.

Regarding Arnav. Wonder if he even remembers how it was for him a 22 year old when he moved from Lucknow to Mumbai. From a traditional,conservative city to a cosmopolitan city. Why is he suprised that a 19 year old from a village is shocked by pre marital relations.

Their relation even then was unequal but today it seems to be in better footing. He is not dominating the conversation,she finally doing what she wants to do.

He being emotional in the train station is not unnatural. It is an end of a relationship. But he will get over it as now he finally has is personal life back.

Regarding his musing whether it was all worth it..it is. He is the same guy who reduced his marriage of a decade to a transactional relationship..when he said "thank you for everything" when she came to say goodbye. He has the right attitude and focus to succeed more in life.

Nicely written. Like it is a difficult story to write,it is difficult to read.

Arnav is the main protagonist but somehow I am not curious about his life. Be his relation with Lavanya or any other woman. Or if he will acquire Bitebox . Or what has been his journey.

No not because he cheated or that Khushi has left but because who he is as a person today.

Bakwas_serial, you are right, with the transactional attitude towards life that Arnav now has, he probably will succeed in making more money and become more powerful. And, maybe then he can justify that it is indeed worth it. But, by another token, if you lose your moral compass and become cynical and ruthless what have you gained in the end? It can be very lonely on top and can he be sure that a woman like Lavenya is only with him for his money and power. Will he still have true friends like Akash and Payal? Or maybe, he doesn’t really care as long as he is in control and would tend to see the people in his life in the same way. Looking at life through rose colored glasses one hopes that that is not a life to aspire to, however.
