I finally got a prediction correct! I knew that Garima was going to disown Khushi. Sorry, I'm just so glad I've finally got something right!
Well, anyway, I think all us forum-waale need to calm down! Yes, there's a tragic storyline going on, but isn't that what we started watching for? To see how these two polar-opposite individuals would fall in love despite all the problems and differences between them? My mum, for one, hated this drama with a passion (I have to watch it online every day) and now she's started watching it cos she loves the drama going on! She so badly wanted to know why ArHi were getting married 😆
We need to go back and put ourselves in Arnav's (Arnav, not ASR) position. You found the woman you've just realised you've fallen in love with, the one woman you hated so much to begin with, the woman you were going to confess your love for, in the arms of another man. And not any man - your sister's husband, the sister you would do anything for. She appears to be telling him to leave his wife, and you assume the worst. You can't bear to hear any more, so you leave, therefore you don't see the confrontation that follows, the hatred in Khushi's eyes for Shyam.
When Arnav leaves, he's thinking of all the pain he's gone through, and he doesn't want to believe that Khushi was capable of bringing him such pain again. At that point he decides he'll do anything to protect his Di and make her happy, at least until her child is born, when he'll perhaps tell her the truth. Khushi, meanwhile, is oblivious to all of this - all she notices is a change in Arnav's mood, but she is unsure of why he is being like this.
To fully understand what is going on, we need to look at both perspectives - Arnav is hurt, and no matter what he feels, Anjali will always be his priority. He will do anything to protect her, including hurting the other woman he loves. Also, he thinks that Khushi deserves this pain - as much as he hates putting her through it, as much as we wishes he had misunderstood, it appears as if she had been playing a game all along, and he is hurt. He wants her to feel that hurt. That's why he uses the 'I'll make sure Payal's wedding doesn't happen' card, because he knows how guilty Khushi felt the first time that had happened to Payal, and he knows she wouldn't refuse the marriage. But one thing we need to note is that he didn't force her to agree. yes, he made her feel guilty, but he didn't force her at all.
Khushi, during all of this, is confused. She thought that Arnav was going to confess his love for her, she practically said as much when we saw the conversation between them. So seeing this side of him was a shock for her. She hadn't seen him like this for quite some time. She knows that she cannot be the reason behind Payal's wedding breaking again. and that's why, after much hesitation, she finally agrees to the wedding. She's hurt by Arnav's sudden change in behaviour, but she feels as if she has no choice in the matter.
Now, the wedding. When Arnav puts the mangalsutra (sorry if I misspelled it) and sindoor on her, he tells her that this means nothing to him, and after 6 months they'll no longer be married. He refers to the 6-month thing a lot, as if he is trying to convince both of them that this is temporary, and there never was anything between the two of them. He also mentions that in his eyes she will never be his wife, again he is trying to convince himself of this as much as her. He almost ridicules this tradition when he speaks to her, because he knows how sacred it is to her. It is almost as if he is trying to make her hate him - it'll be easier for both of them if they both hate each other. But instead, Khushi is heartbroken, confused, and she is still trying to figure out the meaning behind all of this.
One thing that neither of them were prepared for was the reaction of their families. In all the rush of events, I don't think they even stopped to think about what the reaction would be. Everyone's demanding to know why they got married, and they all seem to be questioning Khushi. Besides saving Payal's marriage, she doesn't know why. She lost everything - her family, her pride, everything precious to her - all for a 'temporary' fixture. Now everyone just sees her as being cheap, not telling Arnav that it's wrong to get married this suddenly, and just running off with him. That too, during Payal's wedding, as if she had every intention to sabotage it. Mamiji was annoyed me to the max with her input in this confrontation. She just made everything worse for Khushi. Arnav just managed to get away from the situation, but he's torn up inside too. He wants Khushi close, so he can protect her, but he also doesn't want to be anywhere near the woman who ruined his Di's happiness (nafrat paas aane na de, mohabbat door jaane na de). You can see this confusion when Garima slapped Khushi, the anger on his face shows his love for Khushi, but the way he looked away from her shows the battle he is fighting within himself, fighting his love for her.
This is why I'm still calling him Arnav - ASR had the hatred inside him, but he wasn't able to feel - he didn't have all these feelings for Khushi. What Arnav is doing now is trying to shut his caring side away - he is trying to bring ASR out again, but we know it won't last. His feelings towards Khushi are too strong. As they say, love conquers all!
Damn, I've gone waaay overboard. I've written so much! Arre, aap sab to sau gaye! if not, you deserve a medal! But from all this, I just wanted to give you guys an outline of what is going on - this isn't easy for either of them. We can hate Arnav all we want, but he is just doing what he thinks it best, what's always worked for him - distancing himself from everyone and his heart.
Regardless of what is going to happen, I just don't want the CVs to stop the Rabba-Ves! Keep them coming! We need something to stop this ArHi depression. Sab kuch teek ho jaye ga, bas ab sabbar karna hai. Just remember this - the sooner everything gets better, the sooner the serial will end and the sooner we'll all have no purpose in life ðŸ˜
Okay, I'm done babbling. I need to go do some homework. I'm hoping for a bit of ArHi in tomorrow's episode - it'd be a nice birthday present! 😉
Oh, and guys? Please do give some feedback - I've spent over an hour on this!
