OOHH BABY! ASR KIDNAPPED!! YAY!! Finally..
And this is why I hate romance! Totally Dillogical!
Performances
Barun and Sanaya: Standing Ovation! *applauds* need we say how well you both did? Need we tell you that most of your Fandom's faces are wet with tears (and lack of sufficient tissue boxes)?
BRILLIANT! Mind-Blowing! Heart-wrenching!
You know something!? You both do exceedingly well without any dialogs!
Progress Points
1. Family discovers Arnav's missing
2. Arnav calls at RM house
3. Arnav tells Khushi he loves her - more later
The 1-2-3 Analysis
1. Here we go round the Mulberry Bush... the Mulberry Bush... the Mulberry Bush...
Khushi works her memories and tries to come up with some explanation of the missing Arnav. However, she also realizes that she may have made a mistake by lying to the family.
So Nani catches her and she confesses. Then MM overhears and spills it to Mami Jaan, and then Anjali hears it, and then, Shyam and Akash and Payal hear it.
And then of course, the drama begins.
2. Loved khushi consoling Nani and Anjali when she is herself scared
Who knows better than Khushi how worried she's been!
3. Shyam manages to actually look concerned when Anjali says that Arnav hasn't reached London.
However, his concern changes to anxiety and fear the moment the family moves Anjali to her room.
4. Anjali who had been already worried now complains that Khushi should have told her the truth about Arnav not reaching London.
Khushi, again, tries to console Anjali. She tells her that Arnav may have taken another flight to London and may have reached late.
Shyam agrees with Khushi's theory, but thankfully Akash used his brain.
When Akash calls and find that Arnav's phone is unreachable, finally they decide to call the police.
Shyam did look rather worried when the word 'police' was mentioned, but to his credit, he kept quiet.
6. Finally, Arnav calls and the whole Raizada clan talks to him.
Totally LOVED Nani Ji in this scene
Totally LOVED Mami Jaan in this scene
Actually liked Akash in this scene.
Arnav told Akash that he would not be much in touch as the reception is not good in Scotland!
Arnav & Khushi
I would not be getting into this conversation now. It is yet done half-way. I would like to see the full impact it has on both of them.
1. Finally Arnav calls, and finally Akash thinks of giving Khushi the phone.
Arnav, it seemed you were suddenly tensed up. You weren't looking as though you wanted to talk to her, or were not prepared to. But of course, you couldn't refuse - not only
2. LOVED Arnav telling Akash to take care of Anjali and Khushi.
Hmm... It seems that he thinks he's gonna die.
3. It seems the girl was too scared to say anything considering the last conversation they had wasn't exactly cordial. Anyhow, her heart is overpowering her - all she wanted to know was that Arnav was alright, if she could just talk to him once.
And then he calls her name - and everything else is forgotten.
4. Arnav it seems can sense Khushi's heart just as she can his (and yet the mind interferes)
He tries to comfort her: Khushi, I am fine. Khushi, don't cry. Khushi, stop. Don't cry.
Nearly getting irritated probably because he isn't there to comfort her and he can't bear it when she cries for him - or when she cries at all, even if he is the one who's made her cry.
5. And then the moment!
It took Arnav a fair few attempts to say it. It seemed when he found the words, he lost his voice; and when he found his voice, he lost the words.
Finally, he seemed to calm his mind and in a breath said it - Khushi, I love you.
The next moment was an interesting one - it seemed to start with an uncertainty and end with a smile. Arnav told her. He looked relieved. He meant it. Very much! It was the truth of his heart. His mask was off. In one small moment, he'd bared his heart to her. And it seemed, he also felt her heart.
6. Khushi may have wanted to hear that forever now, but right now, it seems to have stunned her more than give her the joy that it should've. But let's see what happens now.
Khushi's heart does not lie to her. Whether she believes his confession or not, is upto her mind. Whether she listens to her heart for his love or for his safety, we'll have to wait and see.
Others
1. Finally Anjali is worried
2. Nani is pretty weak when it comes to Arnav and Anjali
3. LOVED Payal taking care of Khushi
4. Akash used his brain FOUR times: Once, to stop Shyam from flapping like a wet hen and to take Anjali to her room; Two, to call Arnav himself; and THREE, to call the cops!; and FOUR, he is the only one who thought that Arnav might want to talk to his wife and his wife might want to speak with him too!!
Well done, Akash!
5. Where did Shyam go when everyone was talking to Arnav?
On the Lighter Side
1. Khushi lies about Arnav's call.. and bell rings.. LOL
2. MM lost way to his room' I wish he sleeps next to Shyam.. but he enters Arnav's room, and thinks it is his own! Man! I can't digest that one!
3. Poor HP never went to his wedding ROFL
4. Scotland never looked so dreary! But then, without Khushi, actual Scotland would've looked rather sad to Arnav!
5. When the Raizadas passed around the phone, I was fuming - Is no one gonna give the phone to Khushi? For goodness sake, she is his WIFE!!
6. If Shyam has kidnapped Arnav: Why does Shyam get to do to Arnav, all that we want Arnav to do to Shyam?
7. Arnav, before you get out of where you are - please, for the Fandom: punch a few losers who are holding you captive!
Precap
Mind-blowing! Literally, if Arnav moved in his chair, his mind would be blown off, that gun looks more serious than the one holding it!
Precap to Tomorrow's WIL
