Stand By Me

Prologue

What if after the "I Love you dammit" show down, Arnav and Khushi end up consummating their marriage? What if Daadi was in Shaantivaan with some other plans and not helping Shyam? Shyam and Anjali were meeting as usual but daadi wasn't helping them. Daadi is trying to separate Arnav and Khushi whereas Anjali is trying to get Shyam back into Shantivaan. In all this mess, Sheetal also comes into their lives with intentions of separating Arnav and Khushi. What if it is a devastated Arnav who sees the positive test results of the DNA test? Will Arnav and Khushi go their separate ways or continue their life together after the deeds of their pasts come out in the open?

I have always felt that Arnav was treated quite unfairly by his family members and those around him. The root cause of why he became cruel and the hardships he had to suffer was never looked upon carefully. He gave up everything to become successful so that his family gets all the comfort but no one from that family tried to comfort him. Even after his kidnap, people only cared about Anjali and ironically she was supposed to be the elder sibling. I mean look at things from his perspective, he works day in and day out to provide his family with everything and the moment he comes home they start bothering him with multiple things. People never respected his thought process but he always respected his family's thought process and whims. This is my take on an emotionally drained Arnav, who is sick and tired of dealing with his family problems, who just wants to live his life peacefully.
