Have you ever twisted a string or two? Take two strings of white and black and tie at one end. You hold the two free ends tight together and begin to twist at the other end. Keep on looping the twists upon twists till the string resembles a clutter. The black is merged with the white so much that you can hardly make out the difference.
Now, let the free ends go. The string lets off a twister and unravels. Every twist comes undone. For a while the strings seemingly would flow in the opposite directions - the black merged with white, turning into grey - but eventually, as the twist run out of revolutions, the free ends come apart - visible as black and white. You may still see the bumps on the string, but it lies at rest finally. You can now tell black from white and untie where black was tied into the white.
Moral of the story: Sometimes the only way to unravel a twisted string is to twist it further till it can be twisted no more. Then, one act of letting go unravels of all twists.
Arnav Singh Raizada & His Wife:
Arnav Singh Raizada was finally allowed a few moments of undisrupted peace with his wife, Khushi. Who knows how long they sat together, for the first time - absolutely in love, knowing it and enjoying it. Not talking, not fighting, not competing, not insulting one another. Just completely at peace with one another and the world.
After several months of wearing masks, this momentary unmasking was well worth the wait.
Even when they were called downstairs, he refused to go without her. He waited for her. When she came, he was completely comfortable walking down to his family, his wife hanging onto his arm. He was all smiles, till he saw that something was troubling Khushi. He stopped and asked, but she did not confide. Once again, the mask went up. He let is aside, trusting her, and offered her his arm again. She held onto his arm, still troubled, but probably feeling safe with him.
Khushi:
Khushi was without protection. Her man was very near, but she was so intoxicated with his love that she didn't even call out to him. He was waiting for her. He would have been there only if she had called. Perhaps, Arnav's presence near her had made her feel so secure, she lost all track of who she was talking with. The creep however was waiting for only such a moment.
By the time she realized that something wrong happened, the blunder was done. She has opened the door to the enemy. Something that was a secret between Arnav and herself, is now in snake's control.
Khushi, wanted to tell Arnav but once again chose to keep the secret hidden from Arnav. Her fears overpowered her love. While she keeps it a secret only for Anjali's sake, and in effect for Arnav's sake, unknowingly she is letting the enemy take control.
Trust is being nurtured - but on a slow steady flame.
Arnav:
A few days back, Arnav had opened a window of 6 months for the enemy. He was forced by the circumstances. He let the enemy stay in his house. He does not know that the snake can bite his own sister and even his wife, if need be.
Now, his enemy has acquired entry into his own personal sanctuary.
The Paradox of Truth and Lies
Arnav kept the truth of knowing Shyam's truth from Khushi, for his own reasons. Arnav's choice to keep his knowledge of Shyam from Khushi actually turned against him. Had he told her, she may have shown him the true picture, equipping to fight better.
As of now, his decision to keep the truth from Khushi is playing against him.
Khushi kept the truth of Shyam a secret to protect Anjali, and in effect Arnav. Khushi is protecting Arnav from something he already knows about - partially. She now has an inkling that Arnav knows about Shyam. She has the choice of telling Arnav all about Shyam, especially as she sees that Shyam is not giving up. Whether or not she figures out Arnav's reason for marrying her, if she decides to tell Arnav of Shyam, she helps him get a better chance at seeing through Shyam's tricks.
As of now, she is protecting him from the truth pointlessly.
If the deadlock between Arnav and Khushi breaks, Shyam is defeated.
Shyam knows that Arnav knows his reality partially, but has not told Khushi about it. Therefore, there is no chance that Khushi might have told Arnav anything. It follows that Arnav, according to Shyam, still believes that Khushi also loves Shyam.
Shyam also knows that Khushi will not tell Arnav on her own for Anjali's sake.
Shyam is now free to manipulate Arnav according to his will.
Shyam: The Worm in Eden
The moment he found Khushi was on her own, he slithered back. It is interesting how his shadow came into the sanctuary of Arnav and Khushi. Just a few minutes back this place was a refuge for the two heartbroken people who found comfort in each other. Now, a shadow is over it.
He slithered in on her weak moment, took what he wanted and left.
Now, he has a duplicate key to Arnav's paradise.
Anjali: The White Dove
How beautifully this is depicted in the Holi sequence.
It was Anjali who tricked Khushi into drinking bhang (at the behest of Shyam), which brought her close to Arnav. Anjali saw their love again - Arnav's love for Khushi and Khushi's love for Arnav. Who would have thought that Anjali would come to Khushi's rescue! Arnav wasn't even aware that Khushi was in trouble again. It was curious twist that Anjali saw Khushi in tears, asking about Arnav and she brought her to him, and left.
Though there is a dark shadow haunting Arnav's paradise, the sweet white dove brought Khushi to her rightful place. Anjali walked into the sanctuary and brought Khushi out to Arnav.
How sweetly she left Khushi with Arnav - 'Here is your Arnav', she said, and left them go off on their own.
Lovebirds...
1. LOVED Arnav and Khushi by the pool - hand in hand, in love, secure, at peace.
Sweetest, cutest pair! They need no words. Their eyes and their expressions say it all.
2. LOVED how he would not let her leave. The moment her hand went off his dil, he pulled it back.
How Khushi loved it when he would not let her go. When he shook his head to stop her from getting up, it was so child-like. There was so much relief on her face and unstated understanding.
Arnav, you just stopped the Fandom's heartbeat.
And Khushi, why were getting up, darling? Arnav's heartbeat is getting the much needed re-charging. His heart had gone into a coma following the terrace shot. It needs to be charged again.
3. LOVED LOVED LOVED when she rested on his shoulder and he offered it ...
There was no more any fear or doubt or even hesitation. A bit of surprise , and a bit of wondering if this is all really happening'
Arnav's face was tell-tale. Aww! She is resting on my shoulder, my pride and joy! This is the best day of my life.
Oh yes, dear. Been saving this space just for you! You can have a copyright on it.
4. LOVED how she loved that he would not let her leave, even when Anjali called.
He was so irritated with the nimbu ka achaar! - No! Don't leave. We'll stay here. Just sit by me. Who cares about some nimbu ka achaar!
5. LOVED how he waited for her -
Arnav: *Rolls up his arms stubbornly* No! I'll wait.
Khushi: What for? My heartbeat?
Arnav: *smiles wiiidddeee* I'm waiting ...
Arnav, buddy, you're waiting for SEVERAL months! Step forward!
6. Khushi wanted to tell Arnav once again, but once again she chose to keep quiet. Arnav heard the worry in her voice without her even saying anything but his name. It was enough to make him stop and ask. Khushi, but again covered it up - whether on purpose or because of bhang, who knows!
Though after, they started to walk again, she was still worried and scared.
7. And then the nimbuda breaks the spell.
Embarrassment! Disbelief! And even hilarity at their expense.
8. Once in the RM hall, Arnav and Khushi sat at a distance, in two opposite ends. Payal sat with Akash, Mami Jaan sat with Mamaji, even Shyam sat next to Anjali.
But Arnav and Khushi had the family between them. Still some time, before the lovebirds are effectively together.
8. Arnav immediately realized what happened. Not so sure about Khushi. She was embarrassed but it looked more like it was from the video.
Others:
1. LOVED how Anjali brought Khushi back to Arnav.
2. So, NK was not around. Anjali was shooting..!
3. LOVED Mamaji's comment ' He's an odd one out. I run away from my wife and he's running after his wife! ROFL!!
4. Aww! Poor Mami Jaan got rashes! Now apply some besanwa!
5. Shyam is back again - but then ASR hasn't really left!
Much fun ahead!
Precap:
It's not got its share of nimbu ka achaar. It's still hanging on some tree by the pool!
New Tagline:
Will Arnav allow Khushi to take over his room?
Hmm... There we go! Shyam has done it again!
