When you win anything, an award, a game, good marks in exam or just plain happy... who do you want to share it with?
The person you love most or a relationship that means nothing?
You congratulated and hugged the child. Good.
Now when Sheetal, being a mother, came to congratulate the child, you were standing there watching her hugging the person she loves most, but you don't think that now I should share my joy with the person I love most. Where is my wife? I need to hug her, share my joy and hear her congratulate me.
Forget even looking at her, you were so engrossed in Sheetal and Aarav (the seemingly "meant nothing" relationship) that you didn't even notice or think that your wife is not there anymore. She left while you were busy elsewhere.
I'm not even talking about the family because if insensitive was a gene, they are the ones who passed it on to you. But you? You claimed to love her more than anything in the world. If this is your love, then she was better off with your hate.
Fifth, the family comes home, still oblivious to Khushi's absence. They sit down and Aakash says that he enjoyed today very much. Arnav agrees that they did. But does he once look at Khushi and thanks her for taking the effort to arrange this "fun day" for him? No. Because she is permanently at his service, who the hell thanks a maid for doing her duty to keep her master happy? Pfffttt...
He moves on to his favourite topic, his "awesome twosome" relationship with Sheetal that "meant nothing".
Oh sorry, now "awesome threesome:" Such a happy trio.
Then another awkward moment as Sheetal and Arnav tries to hi-five. But does it once pass his mind that if it feels as awkward to him doing it, how it would feel to his wife watching it? Does he once glance at Khushi to see, if she is okay? Again, a big no.
It's as if Khushi has suddenly became this invisible elf, who is at everyone's beck and call, but nobody sees her or even thinks about appreciating her effort or acknowledging her presence.
Sixth, hallelujah, finally Arnav remembers that he knows someone named Khushi. So he asks for her. Her face just glows with happiness that her husband is looking for her. It was just painful to see that how little she needs to get over her insecurity and even that seems to some people too much to ask.
Seventh, Mami says to Arnav that practice makes perfect. So when he has his own child, he will be a good dad.
Usually, husband and wife looks at each other when someone makes a comment about their child. But Arnav just keeps looking at mami as if she will be giving birth to his child while Sheetal looks uncomfortable.
Is this the same Arnav who teased Khushi when Nani asked for great-grandchildren in Janmashtami?
Oh wait, then he was desperate to get a suhag raat, but now it's done.
I always think ASR just can't get any more insensitive but CVs just keep proving me wrong.
