Episode # 46:
The awesomeness continues... Such a smooth, well paced episode that carries the idea forward, and stops for the weekend break at just the right juncture. Lucknow beckons one, and looms for the other. Both are all at once fathoms deep, and utterly out of their depths. By the end of the episode all I wanted to do was give each a jadoo ki jhappi😊
And while these two are fighting it out, RM is playing host to zalim zamana in the form of two Teerath-returned aunties, the divine neighbourhood having done little to curb their catty tendencies. But bhy to fear, when MM is here? She decimates them with few choice barbs, but is unable to prevent Naniji's renewed misgivings.
Shyam continues to play his game in his usual calm, reasonable manner.
But the epi belonged to Arnav and Khushi... explosive passion, sizzling chemistry...these are such cliched expressions, but after watching these two, I am left scratching my head...aur kya words use karein in donon ke liye?
This is part of something I had written after this episode first aired in August 2011:__________________________________________
Arnav Singh Raizada frightened her...and yet, strangely enough, made her feel alive...he had been beyond cruel to her...tortured and tormented her...then why did his eyes now beckon her so?
She had gone to the office to retrieve her Devi Mayya. Why were his eyes pinning her down, making it impossible for her to look away...she owed him nothing...she was not obliged to listen to anything he wanted to say...was she?..."You are afraid that he will accuse you of trying to ensnare him again...that is why you are not letting him speak...you know that will break your heart...whatever remains of it anyway..."-the little voice returned.
Why was he so angry?? His eyes were spitting fire...did she see hurt in them today? No, that could not be...he was just mad at her because she wouldn't let him speak...did he have to stand so close and yell ...and then go silent all of a sudden?...She couldn't breathe..She had to get out of there...
Why did she think of him all the time...she was done with him...once and for all...she had made the decision...she would go back to Lucknow...back into the loving arms of Babuji and Amma...forget she had even met him ever...forget this city, this man...this was the right decision to take...Buaji was sad, but Shyamji would support her...yes, she needed to be as far away as possible from him...everything would be alright once she reached Lucknow...everything would be back to as it ever was ...normal.
Why didn't he stop her when announced that she getting out of his life for ever and ever?? Why was she crying?...
