Arhi FF: The Matchmaker #3 - Page 54

Afya,

I will start with a heartfelt apology for my tardiness in commenting….

Khushi, keeps thinking about her Arnav, surprised that he was not in the room where he is, does he know the puja is over, should she inform him….and then just not wanting to care so much, just goes to change, but leaving the door latch open in case he come in while she is in the bathroom! I loved how her he is slowly always on her mind…

Khushi still affected by Arnavs gesture of putting her payals and that action giving birth to her questions and her current state of mind where she is trying to figure out what it meant, where he found it? She has been looking out for it herself and then realized that she maybe unnecessarily reading too much in to nothing thinks it must be just carelessness on her part and lets it rest!

I loved how she notices his sleeping form in the morning, oblivious to when he joins her in bed, I love her noticing his hands and how they looked like they were holding on to something for dear life and loved her feeling the warmth and gentleness of his touch and the smile that settles on her face…her longing and desire to reach out and touch him ..her realization that there was something about this man and the pull she felt towards him and then suddenly she reminds herself to get a grip on her emotions and runs to the bathroom in fear of doing something silly that would completely give her away….beautiful and so natural!

I Love nani's perceptiveness and astuteness on why the Kapoor's had called them over a rishta for Akaash..…her experience in such matters and how she wanted Khushi to join them, as Khushi being the daughter in law should be included in family decisions, but Khushi's knowing the truth of her marriage does not want to get more and more involved so excuses herself on the pretext of pending work….

And loved how once again she starts thinking about him, he seems to have consumed her totally…..loved how she has to repeated remind herself to stop….

And then her surprise at his early arrival almost thinking she is day dreaming about him again..and thinks that maybe there is something wrong with her as she has now even started seeing him and not just thinking about him….and with that thought voices her thoughts without realizing that he is indeed there and runs off nervously, confused, like it was way too dangerous for her to be near him without doing or saying anything silly, but there was something about him that left her heart racing and her feelings out of control…. And here is left trying to tell her that he was not feeling well, perplexed by her action, thinking maybe she was busy he goes to their room has a medicine and falls asleep…

It was only when the women returned that she finds out the reason behind his sudden and early arrival of course feeling guilty having avoided him the entire afternoon, in case he needed something!

I can totally visualize her talking to herself about her feelings, not knowing what is happening, why this man is affecting her like he is, why her heart reacts to him like it does, and her staring at him and what he must be thinking of her ….

I liked the video, the do seem custom made for your story, adding a brilliant touch…loved that scene where she goes to aplogise, blaming her dhak dhak and acidity so innocently and honestly and her besan hands that soon become her besanafied face which in turn causes him to laugh…openly and with full abandonment!

So now Mami is interested in Payal for her Akaash, interesting, but that leaves him with another problem, he needs to find someone else to manage the Bombay office as now with talks of his brothers wedding he was no longer an option to send him for a month.

I liked Anjali and her bonding, Anjali trusting her and taking her to the doctor with her, her happiness at the prospect of being pregnant confirming Anjali' suspicions, they had been waiting for so long for this moment, she had been trying for so long, she had already started selecting names but the happiness was not to stay and it was so sad when she was told that she had miscarried, I empathized with Anjali about the loss of her child and the anguish and turmoil she faces….Khushi acting as her strength at his crucial time, feeling her loss as much as Anjali, shedding tears while trying to stay brave and calm, it was so emotional and well described! Trying to explain how the birth of this child would have resulted in an abnormal child and it was God's wish…Khushi unsure of whether she should inform Arnav but feeling it might not help under the circumstances just deals with it the best she can..

Back home, after scheduling the operation for the next day, the time for the family to informed had come and so she calls everyone she tells the anxious and worried family what had happened, with full details, answering all their questions and concerns about the ultrasound, the surgery, here I felt Afya that maybe you gave us too many details…it was well written but here I would have liked more Arhi interaction…him thanking her for taking care of his di.

The next day at the hospital, everyone worried, Shyam's absence, his work taking precedence over his wife did not go down well with mami, I liked her speaking up! It also gave us an insight to her thoughts and a bit more to Shyam.

I love Nani for acknowledging Khushi's strength and kindness and wisdom, crediting Varsha for her choice… (and her matching making…..) Arnav noticing it too, I hope he can soon express it to her in words or actions!

I loved her taking care of Anjali post the surgery and Anjali putting on a brave face, Khushi for one identified with pain and could see Anjali hiding hers, like she hiding her own and knew time would heal Anjali and her…eventually.

I look forward to the story moving ahead with more Arhi interactions….for them to see more of each other, I liked that in this update he sees her strength and dedication to his sister….her selflessness and love and support for his sister, her calmness , wisdom and maturity in such trying circumstance…..all making her beautiful from inside and outside….
