The note 😭

I m just crying

"But beyond both these worlds, come back to the one we created. I’m still there, heart and soul."

Ahhhhhh! I can't breath. I can't breath thinking that the day she was writing this note, her husband was discussing them with another woman on how he is not a child to flip on life-altering decisions every other day & how the upcoming conversation would have been easier if she would have overheard him.

The contrast of feelings between two people in the same moment who were/are in love and married.

I want to be part of this world that’s so dear to you. I want to go out with you to all the places where you’re important. I’m willing to learn the ways of your world, to travel all of it in fact. In turn, I want you to be part of mine -- As they say Too little, Too Late.

The desperation of khushi to save them, to save the marriage in the note. It is one thing to know your relation has slipped away but it is just gut wrenchingly another thing to see it slipping away.

A khushi who have written such a heartfelt note in December,15 to her Arnav-her whole world and a khushi who went to meet her prospective groom in March,16- a difference of just 3 months shows how aloof/cold she has become to her own feelings and also how much strength she helds in her core.

When she asked for permission for taking the car probably we all thought she knew about L but the following updates made me think she don't, but after this one I am confused again. In my thinking of 100s of possibilities on how will khushi know about L i did thought what if the photographs were emailed even to her or what if the foot steps during the call (prolouge) were her's and so she gave up without absolutely any fight but then i thought may be not a possibility rather the fact that Arnav didn't even so much wish her on the anniversary and the confirmation from aman led her to believe there is no hope left and so she tore the rest of the letter and just went with the I Love You, rather 'yet' went with the I Love You..(a woman's heart who is still in love).

I also thought about all the dresses and jewelleries and guessed that she must have left all behind, infact my overdramatic mind went onto thinking that may she would leave her mangalsutra and wedding ring also. (face palm)

The past and present of she was lost and she is lost, and your brilliance as a writer, hats off Arpita.

I have noticed all the initials years of their marriage, struggles and being in love is always more from khushi's lens and the recent years of their distance is from arnav's, will we get a pov of recent years on what went wrong from khushi's lens.?

Rest about bitebox and shyam i don't feel much yet except he is yet to travel a long road to become what he shows. The last part of the story consumed all my emotions and overshadowed the rest for me.

As the other reader tashi26 said may be because we all are women and so we feel this deeply for this story basically for khushi....I think so too. It is always (or probably most of the times) the khushi-s in life who suffers the most even when the fault lies with the arnav-s. I have tried to feel sympathy for arnav while reading, but can't help to feel a sadistic pleasure in his suffering (a miniscule of it in comparison to khushi's), and the only thing that holds me from feeling anything is his infidelity.

You know whenever you update, the first time I read is like I read the important parts and stop because my emotions take over, I can not concentrate.

It’s weird you know at the end it’s fiction. But somewhere it has touched something in me that I can not describe. May be because of marriages crumbling around me, may be as a girl I still feel it’s always us who have to adjust more. You can be from anywhere in the world but the fact is in most cases it’s we who have to adjust. I don’t know.

Plus you write beautifully that’s for sure.

Coming back to the chapter, I feel so sad for Khushi, Shyam is not someone she wants and I hope for once she stands up for herself and just refuse.

But the question is does Arnav actually deserve her. He does miss her, he may love her but does he love her enough. Like the photo as his wallpaper, is that actually a habit which he keeps telling himself or is that love.

If Khushi had not left and remained friends like he wanted would it still make him so sad and miserable like he is now even if she was not his wife anymore.

Then he is so sure her new husband will love her, if she was so loveable why did you let her go. I really want to bang his head like Payal.

For success he is ready to do anything even let one person go from his life who never wanted anything from him just gave.

And the biggest obstacle is his INFIDELITY which is stopping him. I don’t think that can be forgiven.

But at least he should apologise.

Also, I feel Arnav was expecting that Khushi will contest the divorce. Was he expecting that she will forgive him for his cheating episode with Lavanya when she begs him not to break the marriage.

Honestly I am confused whether Arnav actually loves Khushi or not.

Beautiful update.

You are absolutely not alone, i read the updates probably in 3 attempts. In first attempt i just look for the time periods and then read just the starting of some parts and then lastly the whole thing together. I have opted for this way to lessen down the impact to a certain extent. It takes me an hour and two to complete the whole thing as i take breaks in between otherwise it gets too much emotionally

This is what I was thinking in my head. Khushi once said she can walk through hell for her parents. Had Arnav broached the topic of divorce with her, she would have walked through hell and sacrificed everything (kids, adjusting to his world and decreasing the trips to Lucknow and so on) for him, not because she is a doormat, but simply because she loved him too much.

Khushi has changed and she learnt to be independent and progressive. She will eventually learn to say no and and live for herself. She is miserable right now. But, she is figuring out things by herself and for herself. If one is pushed to the wall, there is nowhere else to go. They have to eventually turn around and and find their way out.

Arnav may have done it thinking it is good for Khushi. But, he will eventually learn that it is neither good for Khushi nor good for him.

What an irony! 10 years later Mahesh thought he should have given priority to family before business just like Arnav. By the time he realised and giving priority to his family, Arnav has changed and now business is everything for Arnav.

Anjali and baby Kavya made an appearance. The husband looked fine when he took charge and made sure everything is fine with his wife and daughter. Many scenario's are popping up in my head.

How is Anjali and where is she now? If she is Anjali Raizada, then Kavya's father is not in the picture any more. Did he change later? You know the obsession for a boy kid and the jazz.

Kavya is about 10 years old now.

Arnav's anger towards his family is certainly related to Anjali and Kavya. Did Arnav's parents unknowingly support Anjali's husband and reprimand Anjali?

I am glad Khushi learnt about Shyam sooner than later.

I am glad Akash is pushing Payal in making a headway with Arnav.

Another wonderful chapter.

We love the 17K or 20 K chapters.

Cheers..

Taj Falaknuma reminded me of the 101 dining table

I heard that the table features an acoustic marvel. You can hear the person sitting on the opposite end of the dining table with ease.

Cheers..

Fabulous.

Just cant describe how beautifuly you have writte. Was stuck to it from he beginning till chapter 8. And very happy you write long updates.

Please continue soon and bring them together. My heart aches to see them apart and sufferring

Brilliant story. It’s been a while checked IF. Suddenly your story popped and it has hooked me totally. Eagerly waiting to see how their journey goes.

Arpita, you are such a skilled writer. I look forward to Sundays and your updates. The comments this chapter elicited are really thought provoking. I am becoming less sympathetic with Arnav and am really not liking him right now. Payal is right, Khushi deserves someone much better. Much, much better! But by the same token, I want to shake Khushi in the same way you just get tired of seeing people repeat the same mistake over and over and not seeming to learn anything by it.

Even though Arnav agreed to try for a baby, Khushi realized by his behavior that it was under duress. In fact, it drove them further apart. Thank God, she stayed on the pill. But neither talked about what was happening. What their reasons seemed to be. I find the first part of Khushi’s anniversary letter particularly heartbreaking. He is talking to Lavenya about the divorce and party and their affair and Khushi is telling him she loves him and she is the luckiest woman in the world. And then the undelivered letter part just cements Khushi’s heartbreak and mine too for her. And then Arnav adds in his mind that besides the baby issue, the Lavenya affair adds to his decision for the divorce. It will be interesting to find out his strong reasons for not wanting kids. It seems Khushi doesn’t realize the deep depths of his reasons. I am not judging him as being wrong for not wanting children. Some people just don’t. But the problem is it has to be a mutual couple decision. In an arranged marriage I realize this aspect is harder to ascertain. In most marriages it is just assumed there will be children, not just in India. But, it seems Arnav may have arrived at that later in the marriage, by things that happened perhaps to his Di.

Now, Khushi. She is slowly realizing that even if Shyam has changed she just doesn’t like him. And she has changed enough that she realizes that the mother in law would be a nightmare. Shyam is probably not a bad sort now. And you can’t fault him for wanting a wife in all aspects. And while he may have incorporated some more enlightened views than a traditional village man he has just not matched Khushi’s growth. She likes the little girl but perhaps is realizing that is not enough. She is giving it a chance only for her parents. I wonder what will happen when her parents realize that Khushi can have children?

Arnav is at a crossroads. Will he take a chance, go to the village before time runs out or go to Dubai and put his business first? As one reader pointed out; does he miss her out of habit or because he truly realizes he still loves her? I’m still waiting for the Lavenya component. Infidelity for me is an almost insurmountable obstacle in continuing a marriage. But that’s me. Khushi is Khushi where Arnav is concerned.

OH MY GOD

OH MY GOD

Superb story telling ❤️

That in the end means somthibg happened between the morning and evening of Anniversary party....

Did someone talk to her, told her about Lavanya perhaps??. So she now thinks that there is nothing to salvage and thats why she was ready for divorce.

Please next update soonish😊, I am sure Arnav will find out the truth. The suspense will murder me slowly and surely in the meanwhile
