why is it that his dialogue stubbornly remains ' i want you to marry me..?' why can't he say 'I want to marry you' , reason being the same! Why is it so hard for Arnav to take the ball he's been controlling so far, in his court?
Reading this chapter, amzingly my irritation and anger, that i hold for Arnav, reduced by some bits!
It surprised me too, the line of my thoughts! Then i thought, Arnav essentially is a Human being! Humans are selfish.. He is ensuring goodness for himself.. Is it that wrong?
His methods are wrong, blackmailing and manipulating Khushi is wrong, but all this might make him look mean and downright self centred.. Does it all makes him Bad? I don't think so!
At some point in our lives, we all manipulate for things to occur in our favour!
For a guy who's spent his entire childhood, teenage cribbing in deserts and droughts, its fair enough for him, to ensure a life time of food and water!
Besides what he feels for Khushi is genuine.. He wants his chance at normality.. He wants his take at happiness, and if Khushi is the source to it, he would definately not let her go!
Best part is, he's ready to move on over his past, with Khushi!
His past has a major levarage in all this though.. But if it comes to an end here, then it woud be for the best.. But i guess, arnav's scars are deep, he might not notice them, but once Khushi does, a lot of questioning would follow!
His Ace card though seemed unfair.. And it would have hurt me had he used it! But coming to what i initially said , he playing at 'Everything being Fair in Love and war', and this is Both!
For Khushi, he giving in, was execpted! She did fight back! The contract part, had me grinning, Poor girl : has no clue about what's happening! I still think she'll wonder for a few seconds about all this being a dream!
But won't her instant happy positive reply to Sumer, would rise some doubts too? Afteralll Sumer knows his Ladoo well enough!
