1 Corinthians 13:13 -- "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love."
Fantastic Crooner, Priya!!! Beautifully penned & in keeping with the rollercoaster of emotions we all went through today! "Without you, I can't breathe." This line could be true for us as the audience, Khushi, for whom he means the world, and for Arnav, who finally lived his moment of truth. Today was a test in our faith, love and hope for an actor and a character. A cathartic moment for Arnav and Khushi in a journey that has seen so much pain, angst and dare I say it, togetherness...growth...and out of all that, love...And this very moment will also test ArHi's love..like never before! Even though a part of me believed we would see this scene today, and I even shared my thoughts with all of you on the same yesterday, I was not expecting it, and more importantly, I was shocked at how stunned I was upon watching it. As you know, I did not watch the promo so I could take it all in first hand, without the taint of the promo shot...Today we saw a declaration that did not come pre-meditated; with no secrets revealed...It was just that which needed to be said. It was what she needed to hear from him...He sensed it; he felt it...and it was heart wrenching and beautiful!
That first "Khushi"...so heartfelt...a lover calling to his beloved...Her tears and silence are enough to get remind him..."Humari saanse ek hoh jaati hain..." Through her tears, he understood her pain, and what her heart was earnestly begging of him...Nothing else mattered in that one moment..."iss pyaar mein sahi aur galat ka koi matlab nahi...bas ek cheez ka matlab hain ke mein hamesha, hamesha..." today he answered the last part to that epic statement..his thoughts no longer scrambled..."Ab bas...Stop"..He might as well be talking to himself--the denial no longer has a place in his heart--..."Khushi, mein Khushi, tum, Khushi mein...I LOVE YOU..." The Rabba Ve in the background encompassing every emotion perfectly...said, unsaid...
Your Sinclair quote captures his moment so beautifully: "to be damned by the darkness that lives inside of me...To be saved by her love..." Today, I was convinced AR and K are and will always be together...the timeline does not matter!
"I Love You"...Those very words will be the beacon of hope and faith--exactly what she needs to move forward in finding him and ultimately, to be with him...We have hypothesized whether this is an SOS, a mayday call, etc. etc. No, it was none of that--by intention...However, it will serve as all those distress signals. She now wants to see him, hold him, be with him, more than ever before. We can expect that phone call to be disconnected as soon as she is able to say something...She will want more than just to hear those three words...Thus, her search for him will start. The word "search" here also has deeper meaning...Finally, the "search" to the "iss ansuni, anjaane si, ankahi si ehssaas" is defined...The turmoil in her heart is beginning to "find" solace. Her journey to him starts today. She may not choose to believe him right away, but in her heart, she will accept those words completely!
Ah, your reference to the 'Eclipse shadowing in ..." so apropos to describe his state. His request to Akash to take care of his di and Khushi--I was breathless in that moment! Can we come back to the chess board for a minute...For the first time in a long time, we had the players in place-- except for mamaji --on our chess board today...We could see the anxiety on Naani and Anjali's face. Akash asking about Aman and why he was not informed of the plans...His next move will be CRITICAL to solving ASR's whereabouts...His due diligence into the when, where, what of all potential AR European deals will fill the "holes" for Khushi...It will be Khushi and Akash's game plan for here on out. Our bishop will help & protect the queen.
Anjali was a revelation today on several fronts...Her pointed words to Khushi, yes subtle, but very obvious in its intended purpose. She is a doer, and yes, she showed who wears the pants in that household...mobilizing action to get her Chotey back...I did find her reaction a bit OTT...Almost as if she knew this was coming...To all of a sudden realize that he has not contacted her, and get hysterical over it, was a bit too contrived for me...or it could just be those pregnancy hormones kicking in?? Which of course leads me to my next query: what is it with her and not taking her meds?😕 Surely, the baby comes before anything for her, right? Why such carelessness!? Loved Naani...again, a wise decision maker...And yes, loved the little exchange between Arnav and Maamiji...He knows his people so well...knows what they expect to hear from him...and his reassurances are like none other...Today we got confirmation Shyam is NOTHING more than a coward...Totally, a "KID-NAPP(Y)ER"🤣 And oh, lucky Laxmi, her HP remains ever faithful!!! 😆
Can't say enough about Sobti, Sanaya and the entire team...Sobti's forte is emotions and emoting...he just gets it; every minute on that screen, magnificent! I can honestly say he has been desperately missed, yaar! Loved ASR's "faltu" moment, courtesy of Sobti!😆 Sanaya's ability to define pain and longing is just mind blowing! These last two weeks have been a showcase for her immense talents! We are the lucky ones!😊
I am waiting to hear Khushi's part of the conversation...but something tells me we may not be so fortunate! Still scratching my head on the whodunnit...I stick to my original theory of an ultimate entrapment--a trap within a trap...As you & I have always maintained, Shyam does not have the smarts to carry this out...The phone call today also seemed longer than I would expect in a "straightforward" man-napping😆...not to mention the serendipitous timing of it...a new breed of "mind-reading" man-nappers, perhaps!?😆...Hopefully, we get more than a few clues in Wednesday's epi! I am so psyched to solve this riddle...GH, bring it on!!!😆
