I know,
there's so much frustration about today's episode -
arnav left Khushi to deal with everything alone
All the women ganged up on khushi
Khushi's family didn't even give her a chance to talk
etc. etc.
As an isolated episode, it was painful to watch (not because it was bad, but because khushi was going through so much pain)
I swear i wanted to yell at nani, anjali, bua, and garima multiple times throughout. And OMG don't even get me started on mamiji. it was very frustrating, i agree.
But, in terms of the track, this episode sets up brilliantly for the future.
This episode was all about the emotions. And for me seeing khushi's pain so deep was almost refreshing. This is her threshold. She has taken so much crap for this family, and has been through so much, all the while being taken for granted by EVERYONE.
Yes, their words and actions (along with ASR's hatred) are going to break her. But only after she's completely broken will she be able to rebuild herself. She is a strong person, but in some ways till date her biggest weakness has been her undying loyalty and unconditional love.
She needs to become stronger and more selfish in a way - looking out for herself, and i think this will make her that way, as she realizes that in the end she's the only person she can depend on.
Plus i found the sheer amount of pain in this episode beautiful. There's something to be said about loving people so much, that they can break you in such a way.
And, i cant wait for the day the truth comes out. Especially when payal and anjali find out this was alll for them. I think the dramatic sequence of how all the family members react will truly be amazing and touching. I think it'll be at this point that people will finally start to value Khushi, and love and trust her as unconditionally and loyally as she loves and trusts them.
personally, i'm just waiting to see the look on garima/buaji/payal's face when they realize she did it for payal. and on anjali's face when she realizes that this whole thing was to protect her.
as one of my favorite quotes goes:
"...this life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air."
i think it epitomizes Khushi's situation right now!
