If Only: The way Arnav saw it - Page 4

Originally posted by: PhenoixTears

In the end, Khushi only forgave Arnav so we are to hold grudges against him, still he was wrong and whatever he did was way away from sanity. Total "SHAITAN" in Khushi's term but I agree with you, his world was totally twisted. So coming back to "IF ONLY" it was very beautiful, you wrote it exceptionally well. Description of Arnav's inner thoughts were awesome. In the end I was like "Aww, If only Arnav trusted on his love and discussed with her about his feelings & doubts" (I know then show would have ended in Feb only instead of Nov 😆)  Really very nice update, loved it. 

You know that part towards the end- "If only..." is the highlight. It creates an entire whirlpool of emotions inside you.
And then the way they read hurt in each other's eyes, with just a mere glance, I wonder how can they ever misunderstand each other.

But again "If only..." they realized what the other means to the person.

I so loved it ! 😊Edited by sk2405 - 10 years ago

simply brilliant.loved itc

I really enjoyed this OS as well, even though I thought that I would never sympathize with Arnav. We know that Khushi's pain did bother him, even though he tried to hide that fact from her. Can't wait to read more of your writing.

It made me emotional.. 😭
if only the world make him believe that there is no true love in the world
if only he hold onto trust the girl who bring back him from ASR to arnav
if only he hadnt called her characterles..
If only he can see the unconditional love that was there always for him.. 😭

I'll edit this soon!

Edited: Oh, this was as good as Khushi's POV! I really, really liked it.
You're quite right, this has been done a lot of times - explanation of Arnav's behaviour etc etc. But never has it seemed so real to me. Reading this, I totally bought his side of story. I could feel his confusion, and his inner turmoil, and the difference between his inner character and outer facade.

It was nice to read how he wanted to Khushi to fall in love with him, and yet he blamed himself for her not being able to do so. He considers himself to be good enough for her? He compares himself to Shyam? He thinks nobody can truly fall in love with him?
You know, these are some of the things nobody has ever pointed out before, well many have, but not in this way, not with pointing out the exact details.

I love how you've picked the very intricate detailed depth of their feelings from the show.

You know, I'm actually really bored of reading the stories which have a lot to do with dialogues/story/characterization of the show (IPK)? But these, your If Only OSs make me want go back and live it all over again.

I'm so happy that you'll be continuing this. Can't wait to read more.

Hey Pocahontas! (I hope you don't mind me calling you that)

A part of me, a significant part, I must say, gets reflected in the way I write the If Only's. Specially when I wrote Arnav's if only..

I wished to point out one thing.. If he had someone in his life, older than him in years and experience, to tell him he was loved, to gently point out his mistakes and lead by example, he would have been a different man.

And that's true of all of us. All we need, sometimes, is a kind, caring guide.

And you understood that. You understood what I was trying to do with this shot.

Thank you so much for that!! 😃

Thank you for liking what I wrote! It amazes me that wonderful writers like you think I write well! 😳

Will be writing soon!!!

Ha ha. You call me Pocahontas if you want. I don't mind at all. Why would I? She's strong and she's beautiful!

"A part of me, a significant part, I must say, gets reflected in the way I write the If Only's"

I believe you write the best when you write something which you have experience of or truly believe in. As a new writer...I've come to accept these as the main terms and conditions for writing. 

"If he had someone in his life, older than him in years and experience, to tell him he was loved, to gently point out his mistakes and lead by example, he would have been a different man.

Amazing! I loved ASR's pov! Very well written.
