STEPS 5 AND 6.
Ah! Arnav babu has taken the two steps I love the most in this process of falling in love. Why are they my favourite, now that I shall disclose it along the way as I stand along the sidelines, watching destiny play its cards; their minds and hearts manipulating and meddling with the deepest and strongest parts of who they are (or believe to be) and how their beliefs, families, and they themselves get tampered with, played by something we know as fate, as times change from past to present to future.
The two steps that Arnav took today were none other than:
5. ACTING UPON THE HEART'S COMMAND
6. (my most favourite one!) ENTERING THE REALM OF UTTER DENIAL.
The episode starts with yesterday's scene when Arnav rescues Khushi. We saw yesterday how he dived in front of the camera, swiftly picked her up and was out of danger's way (woah. It reminded me of Edward Cullen!😆).
Before I start my analysis, I would like to add a bit of a prologue to today's analysis. It's typed in purple below!
In today's episode we'll see the two sides of Arnav Singh Raizada, Arnav and ASR. Arnav is thi sweet, caring, passionate, lively, but quiet, broken, helpless, in a coma-like state, because of his past. On the other hand, ASR, Arnav's close and only confidant, is a ruthless, power-hungry megalomaniac, rude and offensive. While the innocent Arnav, is dead but alive, as in comatose, ASR the enraged best friend is out to seek revenge from the entire human kind, and he will not make exceptions even with those whom Arnav loves, especially if they dare try to hurt him. The bruised, defeated Arnav was his heart, and unkind ASR is his mind.
So, today, I saw this huge amount of desire in Ar to hold Kh close and never let go, protect her from all evils so that her innocence is not stolen away from her as it was done to him when he was young. He literally wanted to prevent every demise from befalling upon her. He held her shoulders so tightly and so close himself, one can see that he never wanted to let go of her, especially since she was now ruling so fully and completely over his mind (to a certain extent), body and soul. He FELT things now that he had stopped feeling years ago, and because of her, and he felt alive for some reason. But this was not ASR feeling and desiring such things. It was Arnav, the quiet, broken, powerless, helpless Arnav, his heart to speak, that was feeling and desired such things. It's like Kh was the miracle to revive this long time coma patient that his heart was, and now it's trying to break free, wanting to reveal its true colours to the whole world, against his will, his judgement, ASR. It was him wanting to live after so many years! First part of step 5, completed, as ASR gave way to Arnav as he can now feel the power of his unrealised love and acted upon Arnav's (his heart's) command. His heart, The Arnav, was so much more powerful, optimistic, than this ruthless, power-hungry ASR, that he took over control over this hard shelled, rough-and-tough ASR and saved the one whom his heart calls to. Mission successfully accomplished.
But it was expected that the ASR would be back in control over Arnav since ASR is still apprehensive to protect him, especially so soon after his revival, and so he did. He again manages to be rude and uncaring and unfeeling towards her by scolding her for standing in front of the car, as if already putting up defensive walls against her if she tries to harm Arnav. As if it was her fault in the first place! But after he burst out on that poor thing, you can still hear Rabba Ve playing, and that's when I felt that Arnav is battling this ASR and trying to break free, trying to calm him down because of his ever so alive faith and optimism in love. As he starts to walk away, Arnav again fights harder against ASR and makes him look back at her shaking self (Rabba Ve is still in action!). Yes, Arnav now is quite in power. And he removes his coat (I SIMULTANEOUSLY SQUEAL AND JUMP AROUND AND THROW PUNCHES IN THE AIR WITH A HUGE GRIN ON MY FACE) and walks towards her, in his full blown sweet, caring, romantic, passionate self. Kh backs away a little bit when she sees him approaching, and yes, Arnav gets hurt, feels a bit rejected, and ASR is enraged slightly because he is hurt. Which is why ASR speaks out saying, "Yun bheeg kar kya saabit karna chahti ho? Ki tum eh bechaari ho? Ya logon ki nazron mein aana chati ho?" (ooohhh!!! low blow man!) Kh is hurt! Damn hurt! you can see she's almost about to burst with her own waterworks, because of the nerve of this man to slight her character. Arnav gets upset on seeing her so hurt, senses that she's gonna cry, urges ASR to stop. But ASR being the rude jerk he is says, "ab rona mat shuru kar dena!" woah. This was the one thing that made Kh stand back up, ready to fight with this monster that is ASR. Arnav does notice this thing, and so does ASR, but what ASR does not know unlike Arnav that now it's two against one. Arnav and Khushi VS ASR. Arnav is secretly happy that now he has the support that his weak, fragile self needs in the form of this strong woman and he mentally celebrates this occasion.😳 meanwhile ASR throws the coat at her saying, "yeh coat pehenlo! (ASR is also feeling a bit bad! probably due to his friend's influence!😉) or apna yeh hulia thik karo mere company ke khatir." He managed to take baby steps into behaving more politely, but not enough for Kh. Seeing his rude behaviour, Kh will not accept any form of thing remotely close to an apology, even if its a coat. She refuses to take his coats, and gives it back to him. AH! ASR is now at his wits end!😆WTH! I tried to be nice to her and this is how she treats me?! he felt sooo rejected and that he looks affronted at the DAMNED coat of his, snatches it away from her with brute force and walks away, his already fragile and supremely tender ego hurt! huff! Arnav silently watches all of this, feels bad for his friend, but he knows that in the long run he'll get what he wants. He acted upon his heart's command but got rejected and returned with a shattered ego. Oh he's gonna make her repay for the damage done! (in the form of working all night long with his reports) meanwhile, STEP 5, taken.
Back in his car, ASR is livid and hurt due to rejection!!! ASR NEVER gets rejected!!! Thinking about all those instances that he previously met her. Arnav is now pleading him to cool down. He stops his car, and stands out in the rain, and this is how the conversation goes between them:
Arnav: you know you did the wrong thing. you were beyond rude.
ASR: No! (slams his car door) I'm right. whatever I did was right.
Arnav : well then why are you thinking about what has happened before? why does it feel like you're regretting? why are you only thinking about her and what you did to her? Just her?
ASR: no. i can't feel bad, therefore i am not feeling bad. no. especially not for her!
Arnav: (sighs defeatedly)
ASR: (after having ample time to gain back his lost ego ,nurture it to grow into the mountain it previously was, with that stroke of lightning nearby, but was broken because of that RED COLOUR DYNAMITE😆) nahin. Arnav Singh Raizada is affected by any girl or anyone.
(note the bold letters. ASR is already affected no matter he claims!😆)
STEP 6 - performed. Full on Denial Mode is achieved.😆
Extra Bits:
1. Ah. Kh and Ar have their destinies so intertwined that they're even affecting their family members! Look how Akash's pink dhupatta, as in the one he bought for her 😆, reached the person he wanted to! That too when she was Khushi's sister! How he must be thanking his FATES for searching the girl for him through the olive branch that he offered Kh that same day!😆😳 Fate. Funny thing it is. 😳
"We create our fate every day we live" - Henry Miller
2. Notice how Ar and Kh sneeze the same time? Excellent cinematography!👏 and they played this scene so very well, literally demonstrating the depth of the link between these soulmates destined to be with one another! And then Fate once again plays its cards as nani makes him think about her again. Now he wont even get enough time to think about the well-being of his sister.😆😳
3. I told you he'd make her pay for his damaged ego! Now Kh will have to pull an all-nighter!😭 Even Blah, as in La, noticed that Ar is paying too much attention to this chamkeeli!😳 ah! and Ar just snapped, "shut up" to her! 😆 But poor Kh. 😭
okay, that's it for today! i hope it met all your expectations!😳
EDIT -
OMG! i forgot to tell you why i loved the episode today! well, it's because it reminded me of Pride and Prejudice (i love this book!) when Mr Darcy was first rejected by Elizabeth. it was so similar to the coat scene today!
All Kh could see today was his abominable behaviour towards her (like elizabeth) and rejected him plain to his face. Ar tried to be polite (like darcy) but ended up insulting her even more (just like darcy)! since elizabeth and darcy are my most favourite star-crossed lovers of all times, i had to say, that this scene reminded me of their enigmatic relationship!😳
