Part 31 : Temptation
-Jo Humne Dastan Apni Sunayi-
Arnav and Khushi --- Khushi and Arnav---
Just when Arnav and Khushi had a public display of their cat-mouse fight...stubborn Arnav decided to wait outside next to the car and knowing that she did not play this prank, Khushi went inside leaving Arnav alone...They started their day earlier on a wrong note ...not really eager to know what was in store for them for rest of the day...
Today saw the beginning of the roothna- manaana in a very subtle fashion and also saw additional layers of Arnav unraveling gradually...
Arnav finds out from the police that all the missing parts of his car have been recovered. He thanks them and ends the phone call. He remembers accusing Khushi wrongfully earlier that day... and feels bad. Just before entering the house, he happens to witness a conversation between Buaji-Garima and the grocer. From the conversation he comes to know that Buaji-Garima ended up giving money for the lunch delivery and now they do not have any more money to pay the grocer...they request the grocer to be flexible but he gives them excuse of his boss and demands that if they have anything to sell or borrow money against then they should go to his shop.
Garima and Buaji get very worried as they have no groceries to cook for that evening. As Arnav stands outside listening to this conversation, the reality of their life stares him in face and he remembers how Buaji got him cooler when hs had the AC installed and he also remembers how Garima had requested Buaji to accept Arnav's actions as he is not used to their style of living. Arnav in a deep thinking mode...remembers that Garima and Buaji paid for the food delivery from restaurant as they rather not have Arnav pay for it. As the grocer is about to leave the premises, Arnav politely asks him to step aside with him...
Garima and Buaji struggle to find some piece of jewlery to borrow against...As Garima is about to leave, Khushi suggests that whatever they need from the shop, she can go get it - she does not know why Garima is going to the shop...Garima insists on going herself, just then the grocer arrives with major delivery of groceries and food material. As Khushi, Buaji, Garima and even Shashi are taken by surprise at this delivery they ask each other how come the delivery has arrived when no one of them had ordered...As Buaji wonders what's going on , Arnav walks in declaring pleasantly that he ordered the delivery... Everyone is pleasantly shocked. Arnav instructs the delivery folks to place the groceries in the kitchen. Khushi and Buaji look at each other with questions in their gaze. As the delivery people move towards the kitchen, Arnav does not make eye contact with anyone but his gaze depicts that he is unsure what the reaction of Khushi and her parents is going to be... Before anyone gets an opportunity to react, the grocer comes back from the kitchen declaring that the kitchen does not have any space left. Arnav instructs them to leave rest of the stuff there and says that they will make space in the kitchen afterwards.
Arnav confirms with the grocer that he has been to ASR's office to have his accounts settled. Arnav hands him additional money, he thanks Arnav and takes leave. Garima politely, softly asks Arnav why he felt a need to do this. Arnav looks her in the eye and says calmly, "Why? Why cannot I do this? After all, I am your son-in -law!" Everyone is pleasantly surprised at his statement. Buaji and Garima become very emotional. Khushi cannot believe what she just heard him say - her Arnav just asserted his right as the son-in-law of that family for good reasons! Buaji objects why Arnav got so much stuff...Arnav's cute answer, "I eat a lot, don't I! You feed me a lot too.." Arnav actually smiles pleasantly. This brings smile on everyone's face including Khushi. Even Shashi smiles happily. Khushi's father has always shown his liking for Arnav expressed through his eyes. Arnav ji abhi aapne Khushi ji ko aur unke gharwaloan ko ek anmol tohfa diya - achraj ki baat hai ke yeh tohfa tha hassin ka! Arnav just gifted Khushi and her family with his smile - his cute answer accompanied by the rarest sight - his smile. Unbelievable! Who would have thought that Arnav could gift smiles to Khushi's family this lovingly!
Garima asks Arnav affectionately what he might want to eat for dinner. Arnav says with a boyish charm and a pleasant smile, "Anything is fine as long as it not that health food...I want something normal..." again everyone smiles. Arnav does not stop there, he says, "Please, Auntie!" Now that's a surprise, that is one of the toughest word for Arnav to say and he very nicely says that to Garima...Just then Khushi says in a soft voice, "At least now, call her Amma!" Garima and Bauji notice Arnav's face changes from soft to firm and self restrained..he does not look at anyone but keeps quiet while Khushi goes on, "You just called yourself the son-in-law of this house - you brought all the groceries... At least now you can call her 'Amma"..Arnav does not say anything and leaves...Khushi follows saying, "You call Buaji as such..then why cannot you call my mother 'Amma'?" Arnav does not answer, he is restraining himself, continues to walk when Khushi puts her hand on his shoulder to stop him... insists, "Call her at least once.." Arnav loses it - he turns and yells at her, "Just Shut up! I do not have a mother - my mother is dead!"
He looks Khushi into her eyes - does not blink - his eyes full of anguish, deep hollowness, restlessness...Khushi and everyone else shocked! Arnav turns around with an anguished face and leaves...Khushi's eyes fill up with tears... Garima says to Khushi that since their arrival, Khushi has been bothering Arnav just too much! She says further that she had asked her not to do that and also had asked her to keep quiet..Buaji also seconds garima, says, "He is already having difficulty staying in these suboptimal surroundings and on top, you keep bothering him non-stop!"
Khushi realizes her mistake...Anguished Arnav enters the room, pulls door behind him... tries to control himself, his emotions...but the demons of haunting memories from the past about his mother chase him - afresh on his mind, make him more anguished.. not knowing what to do, he rips off the mosquito net from the bed... he finally just grabs his laptop, sits on the chair at the table and tries to work ... his jaw clenched, his facial muscles taught - his eyes still hiding that anguish...
Khushi enetrs the room. Heistantly says, "listen...".. Arnav does not look at her...Khushi turns around, pulls the door closed...walks over to Arnav and restless movements of her hands continue...face soft, eyes aware of the hurt she caused him...she says in a sincere voice, "Forgive me...I know that I hurt you...but that was not my intention.." Arnav gets up and says in a firm and hurt voice, "Enough, Khushi!" His face still anguished. Khushi makes a gesture as to, 'Please listen, at least once..' Arnav spreads out his hand to ask her to stop! He collects his thought quickly, looks her into eye and says, " You have no idea how much you have hurt me with your words, neither would you ever understand... so don't even tell me that you know how much you have hurt me..."
Most powerful moments: Khushi's face genuine.. both their eyes teary...Arnav continues in his frustrated voice, "Here I am, trying to stay here with you and your family in this suboptimal house..." the moment these words fly out of his mouth, Arnav realizes his mistake..what he has done... he stops... his face and eyes immediately change.. they still have the anguish but now softer..a realization of mistake committed reflecting in those eyes and a readiness to accept what is about to come from Khushi... Khushi's eys further well up, tears start tricking down...deeply hurt Khushi says, "This is how people live, Arnav Singh Raizada! I know that you find our house suboptimal but this is how normal people live. When there is no electricity, we open our windows and doors for a breeze when going to bed. Every month's groceries have a limited budget... not having enough water supply is not a big deal in ordinary people's lives...we learn to live with it." Arnav's eyes mellow..Khushi's pain and hurt reflects from Arnav's eyes...her deep hurt reflects in tightening of his jaw muscles... guilt reflecting through his eyes.. as Khushi continues, "we are not like you rich people who think they can buy everything with their money.." Arnav listens...Khushi hurt, in tears, turns around and leaves when Arnav says, "Khushi, that's not what I meant..." ... Arnav's face soft and eyes accepting..when Khushi turns around -- he looks her in eye when Khushi says, "I can understand your anger at me... you are right about that. But, even I am angry with you, Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada! I have multiple reasons to be upset with you!" Arnav has an accepting look on his face..cannot meet her eye then. "However, " Khushi says, "I have never taken out my frustration on your family members...neither would I ever...not even by mistake...but you.." Arnav swallows hard...he realizes that she means every word she says...he somewhere still stuck on his guilty feeling that he caused her hurt and made her cry..both of them teary eyed... Khushi runs out of the room as Arnav calls for her from behind, "Khushi..."
This is the most precious moment in Arnav and Khushi's life... they unintentionally caused hurt to each other..they accepted their mistakes to each other right away... they tried to mend those - both unsuccessfully... but they both told each other their true heartfelt feelings...they shared their tears, their anguish, their frustrations, their anger at each other...they both listened to each other...and then they both stopped each other just outside the protective shell they have built around their hearts..or so they thought without realizing that this is the moment that brought them closer...
hamara Dard-O-Gham Hai Yeh Ise Kyun
aap Sehte Hain
yeh Kyun Aasoon Hamare Aapki
aankhon Se Behte Hain
ghamon Ki Aag Humne Khud Lagayi
aap Kyun Roye
jo Humne Dastan Apni Sunayi
aap Kyun Roye
Why do you bear the burden of my sorrow
why do my tears trickle down from your eyes
why did you cry when I caused my own gloom
why did you cry when I shared my suffering with you
As Khushi starts wheeling Shashi on his chair for a stroll outside, Buaji and Garima stop her to ask about what happened behind closed doors between her and Arnav to no avail. Garima and Buaji sense that things are probably not right...Khushi leaves with Shashi.
Garima and Buaji enthusiastically prepare snacks for Arnav - they choose to use honey for added sweetness to the dish without causing harm to Arnav. Garima wonders if Arnav will like her cooking. Bauji says that she will go get him right away as Khushi may not come till later. Bauji comes back surprised that Arnav is nowhere to be found. Both of them wonder if he left the house angrily after his argument with Khushi.
Little while later, as Garima and Bauji set the table for snack, Arnav walks in with a delivery guy. He pays the guy. Buaji wonders outloud if Arnav has bought more groceries. Arnav says very politely, "No... actually I .." he pulls a packet of small puddies out, "I actually got 'Gol Gappe!..."With little hesitation in his eyes and actions, as he takes out stuff from the bag he says, "I came across a shop on my way home..so.." Garima say, "But there was no need to bring all of this..I made so many snacks.." Arnav looks at the appetizing snacks she made. His face mellow, eyes guilty...his mannerisms very polite.. he says, "I am sorry, Buaji! Sorry, Auntie!"
Whaaat? Arnav Singh Raizada said 'sorry' back to back twice? Remember, this is the word he has most difficulty uttering? He had practised so long before he could say sorry to Khushi one time...He did not even realize because he was most sincere in his feelings...
Most Emotional Moment: Garima says, "No need to apologize for that! I was just saying that I made stuff at home.." Arnav interrupts her, "Actually I am apologizing for my behavior earlier..I should not have been so angry..what Khushi said was right.." "Listen, regardless of whatever Khushi says you call me what your heart desires.." Garima says gently and affectionately. Arnav almost breaks down when he says, "Actually I cannot call anyone "Ma" .. I know you felt bad earlier.." Bauji immediately walks up to Arnav, gently caresses Arnav's face with motherly love and warmly says, "It is not a problem, dear! Whatever your heart harbors, share it with us if you wish...there is nothing to feel bad about..." Garima adds in a heavy voice, "Call me whatever you want - that does not change our relationship..." Arnav's face like a vulnerable child - soft, mellow, eyes reflect unknown peace and resolve...the feelings Arnav's eyes never expressed before till today...
Buaji lovingly adds, "And don't mind Khushi - she is a little crazy.. that's why I call her 'SankaDevi!" Arnav's face changes like a first time lover - Buaji talking about his Khushi - HIS CRAZY Khushi! That's when Khushi walks in with Shashi in wheel chair..
Lover's Tiff: As soon as Khushi spots Gol Gappe on the table - she screams with joy... excited she comes running... grabs the packet.. uses her teath to open the packet with the piece of plastic spitting in air straight to Arnav's surprise... In a very happy, hearty chirpy - the original Khushi style she continues her chatter as her hands work on putting the snack together... Arnav is watching his carzy girl in her full madness at a hand's distance.."Oh, how I wished for a yummy snack! ...A bit of sour... a bit of sweet..a bit of spicy..." her hands working hurriedly to get the snack to her mouth - as she is about to eat, she hears Bauji say, "Khushi, at least thank the person who got this snack... Arnav!" Khushi stunned . shocked...her eyes wide open..drops the gol Gappa from her hand.. Arnav slightly upset at her.. looks at her.. Khushi looks at him.. his eyes do not fail to tell her that he is not pleased with her not eating the Gol Gappa he brought ... for her...Yes, only Arnav knows that he brought the snack for Khushi...Now I would like to know where he keeps his diary.. may be on his computer... he seems to be revealing another side of his personality that has taken keen notes on Khushi's likes...this first time lover is hurt and his eyes tell his beloved just that...

They all settle down at the table. Khushi eying the Gol Gappa ingredients with hungry eyes... trying hard to resist the temptation, says to herself, "I will never eat the Gol Gappe brought by the Laad Governer.. But if I do not eat the he is going to get upset with me...himself puffing up like a Gol Gappa!...Hmmm may be I should eat just one.."Buaji and Garima enjoy their snack...Khushi watches them intently.. Arnav sitting right across at the table from Khushi...sipping his tea and eying Khushi keenly...
Bauji asks Khushi, "What are you thinking about, crazy girl! Get started.." Khushi says, "No Buaji, I do not want any..." Arnav's face once again changes to reflect disappointment, " I mean, I cannot eat.." arnav is so cute when he realizes that Khushi is deliberately refusing to eat the Gol Gappe he brought for her...Aww, so so cute... first time Arnav has tried to woo Khushi sorts of directly that she and he both are very aware of...after their hurtful argument earlier... another beautiful first!
However, Khsuhi has tough time from being tempted.. she keeps on looking at the snack ingradients and goes.."A bit of sour..a bit of sweet and a bit of spicy.."looks at Arnav - his hopes coming up with every word of hers.. she realizes he is watching her - she goes, "Something happens to me with all of this..." then she tries to stay away by forcefully saying, "I don't want any.." as she utters all those words - Arnav's eyes and eyeborws arch..Hmmm...Khushi trying to resist...still ...
Then before Khushi knows, she reaches for Garima's bowl to steal her gol Gappa - says .."I can eat at least one.. nothing will go wrong with one..." What ensues after that is a delight to Arnav's eyes and music to his ears -- no no no--his heart!
Jo peeni hai in aakhoan se
pyaas hai aap ki
jo kehni hai aap se
baat hai dill ki
bhala ho in aakhoan ka
keh deti hai anjaane mein hi..
I wish to sip with my eyes
it's you that my thirst desires
want to tell you something
it's my heart's desire
Bless those eyes
just let me know every bit unintentionally
Khushi's face reflects pure joy and delight as she savors every drop and piece of the snack...she gives it her approval with a beautiful hand gesture to Arnav for a brief moment - their eyes talk.. then Khushi cannot control herself... she goes wild - original Khushi comes back... happy, chirpy...enjoys small things to the fulllest... as his carzy Khushi savors the snack whole heartedly - her face gentle, radiant, happy, full of delight and life - just like the day on Holi - then she was under the influence of bhang...now under the influence of Gol Gappa or is it the Gol Gappa brought by ArNAV? As khushi stuffs one piece after another in her mouth...enjoys every bit of it...it creates the most ravishing visual for Arnav...Just for his eyes only...he cannot take his eyes off this ravishing beauty..memerised, he savors every bit of Khushi with his eyes...bringing peace and twinkle back in his eyes...Khushi suddenly notices Arnav's eyes on her - sipping her through his eyes..his thirst obviously refecting in his eyes... she becomes very conscious of her moves but cannot get her eyes off from his...their gaze entwined...most beautiful conversation of two lovers through their eyes only bringing first conscious attempt of resolve to fruition for the first time!
Untold Emotions:
Khushi and Arnav had many fights before but they opened up to each other for the first time today. They took the next step by actually starting the communication by sharing their heartfelt emotions in that argument. Their argument was focused on me and mine...it was not me and you...yes, they have to sort out the entagled weave before thay can focus on 'you and me'.
Their tiff started this time with an unspoken expectation from their own self of either coming to resolve or not. Arnav actually went out of his way to get Khushi Gol gappe! Another facet of Arnav that was never seen before - remember, he is so passionate that once sure, he never hesitates to display his affection. Only Khushi and Arnav knew the secret behind the Gol Gappe... when Khushi says that something happens to her with a bit of sour.. a bit of sweet ...a bit of spicy...She MEANT Arnav!
I think Arnav understood it! When Arnav's thirsty eyes were soaking her delight and happiness...she could not resist his eyes...are yaar, yeh mujhe pagal kar chhodenge dono! They drive me insane with their eye communication - simply marvellous!
Khushi tempted by the gol gappa literally and figuratively - Arnav
-Arnav tempted by mesmerising Khushi...
Arnav said 'sorry ' twice - Khushi did not witness that - she missed out on his layer that built a new strong relationship with Garima and Buaji today...He actually felt it necessary to explain to them why he could not call her 'Amma'. He also acknowledged that he knew that Garima was hurt...
Arnav is blossoming into a lovely human being, opening up layer after layer of his beautiful heart...touched by an Angel - Khushi...who is back today in all her genuine self...delightful and able to communicate with Arnav!
These two lovers had their best day today after a rough start to the day.
Here come the fist time lovers, trading the path of their first love, one wooing another, one resisting the other..finally falling for his act... potentially realizing that it was an act of love...
❤️ ❤️
