Satisfaction ... that warm fuzzy possessive feeling he gets when he sees her wearing his bangles ...
Satisfaction ... that warm, fuzzy confused feeling she gets when she knows he did get them for her ...
The star of the evening was Anjali ... after her tube-light flickering dimly off and on for eight months, it's now burning bright with full shining wattage š ...
from teasing Arnav with her guileless, innocent "Chotey, it's perfectly all right, you don't have to attend the havan if you don't want" ...
- to catching onto the reason for Khushi's sulks and becoming an instantly willing collaborator ... "You don't like the bangles? You may be right ... why don't you just take them off?" ...
- to becoming a master Cupid, far more effective than all the La's and NK's put together ... "Khushiji, could you go to the poolside please?" and I'll do the countdown as to how quickly my baby bro follows you there ... š after setting up your latest fight ...
NK seems to be not far behind ... getting Khushi right next to Arnav in the photographs ...
Arnav ... am sure Sush is going to complain about his mushiness again ... š tch tch, Arnav, at least try to hide that you're peeking at her hands constantly ... and his look of pure male possessive satisfaction when he saw that she was wearing his bangles was positively dreamy š He didn't even care about Khushi talking to NK this time, she wore his mark for all to see ...
Khushi was fabulous, switching between teasing, confusion, uncertainty, determination ... I will get him to confess, DM ki kasam" ... tch tch Khushi, bangles are a small matter, get him to confess his feelings ... now that will be the biggie!!!
I loved the last Arhi scene ... poolside, ... sulking, taunting, squabbling like lovers already ... and the last part when Arnav turns back into ASR, yet a much softened version ... even though not ready to face his feelings, he can't hide behind vicious, bitter barbs any more ...
Diwali night - she asked him - why did you keep my payal - he told her, she meant less than nothing to him ... she had no right to question him ...
Tonight she asked him - why did you buy the bangles ... he told her - I don't have to answer every question you ask ...
Not questioning her right to ask the questions, not even denying her right to hear the answers ... some of them ... he's just not ready yet for all ...
Girls, jump in ... will be back later with more ...
