oh you got it perfectly. I thought my description was too vague regarding what she was carrying and offered him at first. But then I was not sure of IF policy regarding these. 🙃

I just edited it.

How could she put dried mushrooms in his drink without him seeing or feeling them as he drank. It’s not like they dissolve.

Also, some of the responders write like it was all Lavenya’s fault. She tried to seduce him, he didn’t leave because he wanted to let loose. She planned it all, she drugged him, she raped him. Well, he is a grown a** man. He could have left but he chose to stay, drink heavily, and consequences followed. True he was not in a good mental state but I’m sorry that does not absolve his choices.

We don’t know if he was drugged so I for one am not going down the rape road. And, sorry girls but it takes two to tango. Arnav by his poor misguided, f***** up choices brought much of it on himself. As someone pointed out, the boy needs serious therapy. Now, because of his actions Khushi does too. She could have used some before but by and large I think she was a pretty sorted person. But, not now. It’s going to be a very long road for both of them. Can they emerge together at the other end? I guess we will see. But, in my mind Arnav will have to make super human efforts to undo the damage he has done.

Swati I read up 'A wake up call!!' while i was sick. I absolutely loved your Khushi ❤️❤️❤️

Will check out the other works soon! ❤️

TY so much Aprita, coming from you means a lot to me...

I wrote these when my friend was going through divorce so you see in all stories Khushi is strong.

The female lead being weak was not an option for me at all during those days..

The spouse, family and friends cheering, counselling can help only when we acknoledge the problem, motivate ourselves through darker period of life...

But I won’t blame the readers either. I know what followed between him and Lavanya does read like Arnav was drugged. Whether it happened or not depends on the what the characters reveal. At least as of now Arnav doesn’t suspect foul play.

His fault had been letting loose at a party where a thing like that happened. I won’t absolve him of anything though. Maybe he was at the wrong place wrong time but it’s true that Khushi will get affected by this who had no hand in how things played out in Panchgani.

If this had happened to Khushi or someone else we would be calling it rape. Also he thinks he slept with her as he couldn’t remember much because of the drinks. So is there a possibility he didn’t ?? Maybe??

He was asking her over and over to call his driver but she didn’t want to loose this orchestrated opportunity and came on to him pretty strongly. Infidelity is unforgivable but rape?? 🤷‍♀️. I’m confused. November 9th she says she thinks she is pregnant and during their anniversary on November 15th she was holidaying and then promoting her film so I strongly think that pregnancy was a ploy. When men are principled and you want to get them to bend to your will you hit them where they are the most vulnerable. I’ve seen this happen in real life too. Once you get them drugged and do the deed or make them think they did whatever the case maybe then guilt and remorse will take over the rest. The fact that he apologized to Lavanya says that explicitly. But she seems confused with the apology as she thought she finally accomplished what she wanted to. When that didn’t work she tries the pregnancy angle thinking it may lead to his divorce and then marrying him or getting together with him? Well the divorce assumption worked but she still couldn’t seem to get him to get together with her.

Im sure by now she and Manali are behind the pictures but that only achieved the divorce and still she is struggling to get him to be with her.

I think the disdain and scorn he has toward the La and Ma duo stems from the fact that they tricked him into sleeping with her? I don’t think he knows the being drugged part yet.

I can’t wait for the other half of the chapter to know what happened but I still feel the pregnancy was BS

Yeah this is also an important angle. He doesn’t seem to dislike la and Manali as of yet while in future timeline he is extremely rude to both of them. At present, he thinks he is at fault. Which is not going to do anything to his already guilt ridden heart.

Additionally, Arnav’s personality also matters. He is used to point the first finger at himself. In all cases. Even when the Ff suggests that he may be a victim of a deeper ploy here, he is mad only at himself.

In one of my first posts in thread one I mentioned that I hoped that the old trope of him sleeping with Lavenya when he was drunk wasn’t going to be used. Well, he did sleep with her under such circumstances it seems. Or he was drugged. But you are such a skilled writer you brought more into the infidelity than just just the alcohol so it made it seem more than just a cliché.

Ok first of first, i need to make a confession. After so much of angst for arnav, before the update i thought that if by any chance it turns into a drunken thing then probably i would be disappointed after this much build up of 3 months.

But but but, after today i can say i was wrong with my own feelings, i don't know how to explain this, i feel so light it's like a huge weight has been lifted of my chest after 3 freaking long months. I feel free.

(i first thought of saying this after monday's chapter, least arpita takes this as a challenge 🤐)

I won’t don’t worry. Everything is going to follow as planned 😂😂

Now coming to the chapter.

IT IS RAPE.

I don't know much on this but if arnav gets a blood test won't it show in his reports that there were drugs? Or it doesn't show after a period of time?

That way after getting the reports, if they lodge a report the WITCH can actually be jailed.

All this is true. But Arnav’s first reaction was to just get away from everything for weeks. Besides he doesn’t think any of the foul play happened because he was drinking excessively.

Arpita, when you started the ending of this story challenge, i didn't gave you any ending because i didn't know what i wanted at that point..but i do now, arnav & khushi can take therapies and heal and decide what they want to do with their marriage but,

I WANT THAT WITCH WH*RE IN THE HELL-EST OF HELL. SHE HAS CROSSED ALL POSSIBLE LIMITS.

Yeah they can take therapy but all of this has caused Khushi a lot of trauma in a very short span. She learned of his cheating, got separated, lived away and then had her family just send her back to the man who broke her heart. It’s going to be a lot to deal with.

Me too!” Lavanya’s giggle was louder this time. “A proclivity for addiction I meant” she said as she put her head down on his shoulder. ---- she was talking about her addiction for arnav since 6 fu*king years. I actually got the ITV's typical dayaan vibes from her in this whole chapter. I felt like pucking on her face so many times. Can't believe she actually waited for 6 years to act on her Arnav Singh Raizada coming home with her tonight statement.

She actually needs to be in a mental asylum.

I just never thought La & Ma could actually plan this nasty and can take even the ASR on a ride.

(The whole thing reminded me the film Aitraaz of akshay kumar, pc and kk)

Now, what do i say about arnav, one part of me is so so so mad and the other part of me feels bad for his man too.

He made himself the villain of his own story. How terribly he has behaved with khushi, as i said in past also that his intentions could be anything but he made khushi feel like a PIECE OF SH*T. Just one major issue in the marriage where they both were not in the same page and the marriage fell like a house of cards due to his running away from conversations.

Khushi had been just so considerate through out the marriage, even with his nasty working schedules from being an employee to a businessman now, anyone else would have blown up.

It is true. Khushi had been an unwavering support and he ran away.

He needs therapy and a lot of it, his struggles have not left him and have actually transformed themselves to life long traumas.

When you are away from family for so long and have no one to open up your feelings, gradually with time it becomes a deep rooted habit specially if you are in your early years. Your brain kind of tricks you to believe that nobody will actually understand what you are going through and so there is no point in communicating and with time you become this closed person who builds castles and conclusions in his own mind and act on them, saying this from a very personal observation. Not sure if this was the case with arnav or there is more to it.

His "What's next" made me think about this whole mad start-up culture or hustle culture which is the coolest thing currently, yes no doubt it is good professionally and everything but there is a dier need of drawing a line. These days people are running/hustling so much on one goal after another that it fu*ks up with one's mind and the beauty of peace and stability is lost. Stability has become boring.

Yeah Arnav had been taking his work to extreme ends too. Notable that Khushi had never complained about that either!

Now if it had been any other normal arshi story, i would have said the actual deed didnot happened because of the boxer angle (but i have a question, just to make things more real why lavanya didn't opened his boxers herself? but then ofcourse how could have arpita put that twist!) and that she is not pregnant, but the pens are in arpita's hands so i am not saying any such thing and also just this morning i have said i am not predicting anything anymore, i need to stay put on my words atleast for a day.

All in all Arnav needs a lot of therapy for his traumas and khushi for being his wife.

What a lovely song you chose. !!! 😍😍😍

Ok, finished reading it. But I have so much to say after this.

First will address only Arnav and that batshit lunatics part( going to call her BL from now on 😜).

I am very sure she was the one who had knowingly drugged Arnav, when he was calling Manali she might have slipped in his drink. My god she gave him Hallucinogen. I have read so much about this drug, and Arnav was pushing her but the drug showed it’s effect.

We all know she and Manali had set up the balcony.

If it was a girl who was drugged we all know what it is called. And you know for a man to go through something like this is much worse, one because they never realise they were forced to be intimate and that they they did not want it.

Second laws except few countries do not even recognise that adult men can be abused too. So it is always seen as a man’s fault. Plus the man in his guilt can ignore that their right to “No” was violated too.

I have read so much about it and it’s a very sensitive subject.

Now the photographs, their placement like, meeting in the restaurant, shantivan were placed before the balcony ones. BL knew about Khushi’s absence from Mumbai, she coming with her pregnancy news might have just been the last nail in the coffin.

All of this clearly shows the conspiracy and I feel it has more to do with BL than Manali.

Now, before reading the chapter I felt that I would be sympathetic towards Arnav , his life struggles etc.

And I am for the drugged part but honestly just for that, for rest I don’t have any ounce of sympathy for this man.

He might have been troubled because of not wanting to have a child and might have valid reasons too but he never could share them with his wife, he kept himself busy with work, pushed her away and never discussed anything.

I always felt it takes two to make a marriage work but here I see that it was Arnav who was stonewalling Khushi, who was not ready for communication. So, if their marriage broke I would only blame Arnav, he never listened and just made assumptions.

Khushi might forgive him for BL, I am sure her work in NGO might have taught about episodes with drugs and all but will she forgive him for the rest. I don’t think she would be able to do that when she has been made to question her self worth by every relation of her life.

Totally agreed. Arnav is equally responsible..He is basically a sadist.. everything is about him..so narcissistic behaviour..apart from the Cheating, Arnav's brutal behaviour towards Khushi is more more hurtful..he was mentally abusing Khushi.. it's nothing but Mental cruelty..

I still hope Khushi go on with divorce..

I agree with you 200%, this is completely Arnav's fault. What happened to the seasoned player of this game? He forgot his own rules??? He is aware clearly shit happens in rave parties and Khushi was so against these things... And when there was no business or networking, he should have simply walked out...

It's different story La and Ma conspired against him, but if not Lavanya, someone else would have taken advantage of a rich, young film producer who is drunk heavily and wobbly... All anyone needs to do is take him to nearest room, make him and herself naked, take few pics and sleep without doing anything; it's sufficient for the shock, guilt next morning and the blackmail starts and money flows.. No doubts about it..

This is no rape for sure, Arnav clearly remembers giving in to Lavanya's aggression (Them tumbling inside the room, shedding their clothes on the bed as the feverish skins came into contact; tongues duelling, hands digging into flesh), it was consensual; his reactions indicates the full act was done though not sure he remembers completely or not but it was due to the influence of alcohol and drugs... But nothing can bail him out for life for this sin!

The fact is he wanted to let loose and was on his sixth drink is enough... Six drinks can do the same job without drugs or spiking the drink.. And his trusted crew was not there around him to handle things, double whammy!
