That which does not kill us, makes us stronger

Get it together people. It's a promo. How many of you viewers really thought we were going to get rainbows and unicorns and ArHi sharing a milkshake with two straws??? Snap out of it people. Nafrat - the word is right there in the tag line for premise of the show. In one of the first promo pics, they had Khushi standing with a rose, blood dripping down her hand. Have three weeks of lovely fireflies, flying dupattas, stolen smooches and bangles tinkling erased your memories of guest houses that go bump in the night and trust issues as deep as the Grand Canyon.

Yeah yeah, hate marriage, separation - it's all coming. And you know what I think. Well, I am gonna tell you anyway. It should. Bring on the impending doom *dances with joy*.

This is where we are in the story. Arnav who has been the one to override any feelings he has with his dimaag, has finally just let his feelings do what they will and instead of using his dimaag to fight off those feelings, is using it to understand what he is feeling. That is why when he finally allows his own dhak dhak...he uses dimaag and immediately, it comes out of his mouth 'Khushi' - connection made. See in realization and acknowledgment of love, you need both dil and dimaag to work together. And now he gets what is happening and what he is allowing to happen to him. He finishes Akash's sentence about love. He has given it a name. Khushi, who has been feeling the dhak dhak since she smeared basan on her face, has not used her dimaag yet to connect the dots. All she has done is realized she feels something when ASR comes around, he feels worried about her, he buys her things, he is acting all strange around her and she is enjoying. But, she is all dil and not giving a name to what these emotions mean.

So the promo shows ASR going towards confession and he stumbles upon Khushi and Murderer without a clue. Things are going to be bad. And they will be, because in the midst of all of this lovey dovey rabba ve, I see you seeing me see you - one thing has been missing. Trust.

And that trust issue between ArHi is going to be worked out either through this fake hate marriage everyone talks about, or this separation that the other half talks about - but you know what - regardless of the path - this huge issue is going to get worked out. And I think it is much more intense to watch a couple try to resolve these issues in crisis than over cotton candy. They will get through it and be stronger for it.

Either way, we will get ArHi in angst. If there is a misunderstanding (which I think LM said would be the reason they would come together) I hope it is cleared up because honestly, there are too many characters that know what Shyam is and what he did...unless there is a funeral involved here.

What I am more interested to see actually has to do with Shyam's words being heard by ASR, that he hates Anjali/loves Khushi. I want to see how this aspect is handled by ASR because how he approaches Shyam will determine the collateral damage in all of the other characters.

One more thing on this ridiculously long post - please don't think that this is the same nafrat/mohabbat thing we saw before. This is the first time ASR has opened up his heart, against his better judgement, and is going to get burned. It is going to hurt like nothing he has felt before. And Khushi is getting answers right now, but she hasn't figured out her dil dimaag connection when all the rules of the game change again for her, with the same man - and this time on something that she has been keeping from him all the time. I am chewing off my nails thinking about how SaRun are going to make me cry. Damn, somebody throw me a rabba ve for old times sake.
