Hola people 🤗
Would not know where to start and where to end - an episode that leaves me in tears - is the episode which I deem to be the best. And today was one such episode. No doubt - being an Arnav pankha - I would say it was his very presence in the episode that gave me happiness while it was the conversation between the two star-crossed lovers that gave me tears. I don't know the message of the episode because the first half established - Khushi's righteousness and the second half established the importance of Arnav in the family and his own feelings at par.
Starting off with Khushi's righteousness won't be much difficult for anyone to decipher - it has been happening time and again that Nani has been the witness to all of Khushi's righteousness. Be it Khushi taking care of Arnav when he lost his voice, be is today when she hid the truth from Anjali to save her from any pain. Nani is the one person who has time and again been there for both Arnav and Khushi and understands both of them. She has seen Arnav's love for Khushi and she has seen Khushi's for Arnav. She has also always understood Khushi more than anyone else and that is why she will help Arnav when time comes. She will make Arnav understand the reason behind Khushi's silence on the Shyam issue - she will be their guiding force - she will explain to him and push him to bring back Khushi. Not that I don't think that Arnav does not understand that - he does - but he will anyways need that push and the push will be from Nani.
Anjali on the other hand may not accept this very easily. She will again need a guide to push her to the realms of reality - and again it will be Nani first who will reach out to her and make her understand and then will Khushi step in to lend her support and make her understand the whole situation. The last person who she will finally listen to - will be Arnav - for he means the most to her. When it comes to 2 important people in her life - Arnav and Shyam - she may hold on to Shyam at first - but she will listen to Arnav later. After the much needed guidance from Nani and Khushi - Arnav will be finally able to guide Anjali to the final truth and the reality of her marriage and therefore to light in her life.
Well before I step onto my favorite scene of the day - I guess we have all established that Shyam has kdinapped Arnav and he has not gone missing on his own. Also I was in doubt about the phone call that Shyam did yesterday but the precap convinces me that Shyam could have had a role to play in that phone call as well. Shyam's over- confidence and his invading Khushi's privacy without any hitch - was a proof enough that he was quite at ease. More so - his deliberate interruption of not letting Khushi to go to London was again screaming of something wrong. And no - yesterday he was not stopping Khushi from going to London because he wanted Khushi to himself or something - but because he did not want anyone to know that something was wrong.
Today again - as soon as Shyam came to know that Arnav was missing - he tried to sway away the topic and the nervousness was quite visible. More so - as soon as Anjali and Akash talked about police - he panicked and he ran off the room - with nobody noticing his absence. And then came the call - on the landline number.
Akash's "Aman ne mujhe kyun nahi inform kiya!?" - Yess - a question we all pondered upon. That was because Shyam had asked Aman to call up Khushi to stop her from leaving to London. At that moment Akash did not figure anywhere in the picture - Khushi had to be stopped and that is why Aman did not inform Akash - but informed Khushi. Not a surprise I guess that Arnav's darling Aman is Shyam's accomplice in it.
Now coming to the most lovable scene of the episode - the care and concern that everyone had for Arnav was adorable to watch! Anjali, Nani, Mami, Payal, Akash and Khushi - all coming together for Arnav Singh Raizada. Very rarely are the emotions actually expressed on what everyone feels for Arnav - and today was one of those days. Anjali went in shock as soon as she heard Arnav had not reached London, Nani began shaking in fear and needed Khushi's support to calm herself down, Mami the practical one - worried where he was and Akash and Payal supported the family in their concern. Khushi not to say anything - but her panic and concern was visible all over her face - the thought of losing him was there.
The phone call was a solace to the worried hearts. (a bit superficial when I compare with GH ladies - but havent the RM ladies always been like this!?😛) Hearing Arnav's voice gave life back to a shocked Anjali and brought a relief to the one close to her. She scolded him as he lied that he had changed his meeting plans - Next Nani eager to hear Arnav's voice - tells him that she will not forget another of his mistakes - but because he called - she is forgiving him for this one. As much eager - Mami took the phone from him and inquired about him before she started off with what he was going to bring for her and for Masala Mama. Then It was Akash's turn to speak to Arnav who did sense was something wrong - for he was not aware of any meeting in Scotland and without wasting a time - he questioned Arnav. Arnav carefully doged the question - postponing it for later - after which he said ;
"Di ka...aur Khushi ka khayal rakhna..."
When he said this one line - I thought - does he say this because he thinks he is going to die!? Yes - somewhere he was scared that he was not goint to be there for the 2 most imporatant women in his life - Anjali and Khushi - he knew that maybe - just maybe if he does not survive - he needs to pass on his responsibility to someone else - to Akash - the protector. He did exactly that. One would expect Arnav to think about Anjali first - no two questions about that - but Khushi has begun to figure importantly in his life and no - he does not say Akash to take care of himself or of anyone else in the family - but only for the two people he lives and breathes for - Anjali and Khushi.
Look at it this way :
Anjali's two important people - Arnav and Shyam
Arnav's two imporatant people - Anjali and Khushi
Shyam is bound to hurt Anjali - he has tried and he is working towards it slowly and steadily and Anjali holds no clue about it - On the other hand - Khushi has not done anything wrong persay and Arnav held her responsible for spoiling his di's life. Life is such.
Akash takes Khushi's name and Arnav's breath stops for a moment - and so does Khushi's. Its their first conversation after he left and they both are caught unaware - as they both are hurting themselves and each other. Khushi slowly takes the phone, her eyes brimming with tears but she does not say a word. He also does not utter a word as they take in each others silence completely aware of what the other is feeling. He knows she is crying silently when he takes her name - 'Khushi' - she closes her eyes as she hears her name and a lone tear drops off her eyes. He understands that she is crying missing him - and he tries to console her and tells her that he is okay and she should stop crying. However, it is difficult for her not to let her emotions flow for the man who means the world to her and in whose worry she had sleepless nights - No she cannot. She wants the moment to freeze as she let's her heart out while he wants her to let go of him and yet not let go. He wants to comfort her - he wants to be there for her but he cannot.
He struggled with himself as he tried to tell her his feelings - he struggled with himself as he could not hear her cry - He struggled with himself as he mumbled her to keep quite -
"Khushi main theek hoon... Please rona band karo..."
He understood her feelings for his heart had won over and finally he could muster up the courage after a couple of hesitating words -
"I love you Khushi...".
He said those words - in both hope - it was the words of a man who was unsure about what his future held and it was also the words of a man who sought help from the one he trusted to understand what he meant. For her it was what she always wanted to hear from the man she loved - but will she believe that he had always loved her all along that even if he was giving her a hint - he was also speaking from the heart!?
It was the most touching moment of the episode where only two hearts understood each other and what they meant. Yes the Raizadas were concerned for their chotte - but when it comes to understanding - its Khushi who understands Arnav and Arnav who understands Khushi - the best!
They say - Silence speaks louder than words - today Khushi said nothing and Arnav still understood the torment she had been through with him gone - will Khushi understand what he wanted to say when he has said everything!?
Today's episode showed what a touch of ASR can do to the episode. If till yesterday the episodes were nice and good - today's episode was brilliant - The Arnav Khushi magic was back and how!! The silence, the pain, the understanding and the final I love you was beautiful! I don't care if Arnav said that as a hint in its actual sense - for me it was definitely a dying man's urge to say the most important words hidden deep in his heart - wanting to burst out and it did. Khushi will decode it - and may not consider that he actually did say what was in his heart - but she will realize it later that he had confessed his hearts truest desire to her when he felt he was about to lose her forever. Hint / confession - take it as anything - it was beautiful!
Love :)
P.S : I have not done justice to what is written for I can feel it myself! Nonetheless I Loved the episode! Favorite characters segment not included but it is undoubtedly Arnav Singh Raizada and KKGSR.
