let me begin my post by tying in a convo I had with Doodsie ...She asked me how was the episode ..I replied 8:00 ..I M not coming home >>>>>> 8:30 ...I M not coming home ...The episode stayed where it begun ..This then was my initial thought ..But did it really stay where it was ... Somehow I do not think so Now...I admit I am still in fugue
The reconciliation process has begun with the Gupta's ..The bridges that briefly had toppled is being restored >>not just that Khushi is bringing in Arnav into the flux...Arnav who is reluctant but obedient is following in the wake of Khushi..will he too begin to rebuild his path connecting him to Khushi ..the path that he had blockaded under a erroneous conclusion , has he begun to take that road...looked like it ...
Communication was everything today , AK informing Payal about the Con, Arnav issuing his warning to security guards , Khushi trying to get hold of Akash , could not get him, panicked and ran to the office to get some answers ...Akash it was who gave her the assurance that she wanted while Arnav overheard it without much reaction ...loved the fact that Akash stood infront of Khushi giving her the assurance , the strength she needed DESPITE a glowering Bhai in the background...I have hopes on this lad...Khushi will be a tornado who will break thru the obstacles put up by the great ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA ...
The war has begun in right earnest now ...The legal Suitor vs a illicit Suitor , A Jilted lover Vs a Truthful Heart ...Here we come to the characters ..Arnav, Khushi, Shyam,Akash,Anjali ...
Arnav ,A man who does not trust anyone except his Dii.. A man who is prone to misjudge, react and then think ...
Khushi ; A busybody who wants good for everyone, a girl given to intuition which sometimes propels her 10 steps ahead of Arnav whilst decoding , A girl who refuses to look at unpalatable truth and wish for rosy dreams instead ...
Akash ; Mediator, negotiator, calm, outwardly indecisive but has a opinion and a view , sticks to it without rubbing anyone the wrong way ..
Shyam ; A focused individual , Quite comfortable in a mansion & in a hut , exudes a charm that soothes everyone.. calculative, intelligent mingled with cunning, emotional manipulator ..A destroyer
All these are characters ..but can they exist without a shadow ...That shadow is Anjali !!..Strong Powerful, appearing larger than life yet without substance ..the substance gets filled with the character she is reflecting into and right now it is Shyam ...
Now comes the equation ;
Khushi is out of the RM demanding to know the reason , Shyam wants to separate Arnav-Khushi by getting at the truth so that he can get Khushi at the same time his treacherous self has to be exhibited, Anjali can no longer be in suspense , she needs to be made aware of the truth , Arnav must come out with the reason why he married Khushi ..Khushi must be made to return without her losing the face ..How will they balance the equation so that All the aforementioned things happen ...
Shyam has begun his manipulations game...He started it on the day of Payal's marriage itself when he implied that his relationship with Khushi is far deeper and stronger than what Arnav has understood . Today he has chosen Anjali as his pawn , he has begun to fill her with doubts ..The doubts which may force Arnav to establish his rights over Khushi to evade any suspicion of duplicity ... To what extent will Arnav be driven ... or overcome by his own obsession, his overweening confidence in his own cleverness, Will he PING so much that he himself becomes the reason for his downfall..
Khushi went PING first with her heightened neural activity ..She has processed that Arnav married her for his sister's sake , so now the issue is not marriage but why is she being indicted of a perfidy and why is her crime not stated ... She means to find out and she has set things in motion by first creating a impression that it was Arnav who was sending her and then by stating her terms & conditions for her return...With Arnav zipping his lips..How will she find out the truth.. we had a vague inkling y'day and today ...A loquacious Shyam wanting to establish his credentials may slip up and the already PINGING Brain of Khushi may go PING>PING>PING , gather enough data to confront Arnav , There was a hint long back in Haldi rasam , I had mentioned in that post that Shyam wiping Arnav's Haldi from Khushi's Dupatta looks as if shyam tries to besmirch Arnav but an alert Khushi snatches the duppatta away in time and keeps the haldi with her suggesting that Khushi it will be who will finally save the day , save her love, save Arnav from Shyam's diabolical game else as we saw today, Khushi may begin taunting Arnav [ she begun by taunting about how he married her] ..Arnav has low threshhold to bear any slur on his ability, goaded beyond endurance , he may pin her to the wall and hiss out the reason why he considers her beneath him, why he hates her etc.. Khushi will finally get her answers ... How will she react is another matter altogether ..
Arnav ...In the volatile state he is in, hovering inside the MU cloud cover ..Anything will set him off ..Shyam knows just the buttons to push to increase that cloud cover Sending His Brain PINGING in the wrong direction leading either to confrontation with Khushi or a face off with Shyam which either Khushi or Anjali witnesses or as I mentioned it could be Khushi who will tip him off the precipice , forcing him to disclose the reason..will this then lead to confession and acceptance ..will they unite and act against Shyam ??
Akash : The silent one, a watcher , slow to act but when needed , reacts decisively ..Arnav is dependent on Akash to keep Khushi within his confines, Arnav is confident that when the time comes Akash will do his bidding without pausing to think for a second but what Arnav has forgotten is that under that submissive, docile exterior lies a will as strong as iron , a independent mind which is capable of taking its own decision and follow it ...we saw that mind at work during photo shoot, when Lavanya wanted Khushi to wear a revealing dress when Arnav ordered Khushi to wear that dress, Akash demurred, agreed with Arnav but mildly suggested that the Sari will keep AR connected to root... Point is Akash managed to Arnav to do what he wanted !!..second instance is when Khushi has staged a plot to bring Akash and Payal together.. Akash overrules Arnav's suggestion and sides with Khushi ...So here is a Young Man who can think independently, not get swayed and be rational..what is more , his opinion is accepted ...This Guy will emerge as a key player !! A mediator
**Sigh** How will this equation play out..it is beginning to look like a Russian roulette !! ..The war which has begun can go anyway ...
OR...That brief moment when Arnav gets entranced as Khushi's wet hair brushes his face sensuously indicate that things are headed for attraction to triumph and that Shyam may lose control on knowing the truth and collapse like a pack of cards leading to his own exposure ...
Also liked the talk on Class..nice subtle touch that one... Arnav snidely remarks that Khushi does not have class , A stung Khushi immediately pours cold water on this hot head ...Arnav in flaming temper retaliates in kind by throwing the water on her...In one simple,swift move making them equals..making them belong to the same class ..The class of Passion,love,pure heart !!
Edited to add;
I had mentioned that Anjali is the only person Arnav trusts, relies on ...what if she betrays that trust..How will Arnav react ??would not he be literally without any shackles binding him..would this be akin to his rebirth or will he then find the worth of Khushi who trusted him, who supported him ..will it be Khushi who will unite them ** Pardon me, a sleepy brains wild fantasy **
