Wise men say that in the best kind of marriage, you keep falling for your partner time and time again. After 6 months of marriage, it is time for Arnav-Khushi to fall all over again .. And isn't falling good? Ask Mr. & Mrs. Raizada.

This was one of the few episodes that I will re-watch without skipping a single minute - there was nothing, nothing at all, that I did not like and the dialogues were bang on. For me, this whole episode was about this two falling again - falling in love, falling for each other. A major part of this was Khushi's awakening paired with Arnav's instigation. Their love story has now reached a stage where the man is acknowledging and the woman is waiting. A tale of Fall & Rise in love is being told in the very unique manner that only these two unique lovers can offer.

So what did Khushi's eyes tell Arnav? "Accha huye hum gire." Whom was Arnav referring to? Khushi? Arnav? Or both? Was it good that she fell in her arms in Sheesh Mahal? Or was it good that he fell today? Or is it good that they both fell? The first time they fell together was in the storeroom which led them to question their yearning for each other. The second time they fell together over the Rangoli and that led to ignite their first flames of desire. They fell again on their supposed honeymoon night only to lift up their relationship to a new level of comfort & understanding. They fell off the ladder to share their first laugh together leading towards their first conscious stand in their marriage. And then they fell together while running away from danger rekindling their desire & longing for each other - their first conscious fall in love. They have fallen again - together - and this will take them another step ahead in their story.

Arnav has finally acknowledged his love for her. He knows what she means to her. And now he is on his way to make her understand that and get her to accept his love. He understands Khushi, he knows what will crack her, he knows what he needs her to feel. It is not about her return to RM - it is about her return to him - forever. This is why Arnav did not ask her to return to RM in exchange of the money - he bought some time with her - the time he is to utilize to make her feel loved, to re-ignite her longing for him.

Is Arnav Singh Raizada trying to make up to his wife for the 12 months gone in 12 days? I think so. And he has started just the way things started for them - Khushi working as his employee, pursuing a challenge by Arnav.

Is Khushi really happy about the challenge? To satisfy her ego, she offered to work for him. The old Khushi would have delivered without a word - but now Khushi is delivering reluctantly. She is shocked that Arnav is acting up to the challenge. She is irritated that he is making her work. She is questioning him taking advantage of her need. Can we match this Khushi with the one serving a challenge one year back at office? No, we cant. The difference lies in her acceptance of the changed relationship dynamics - and Arnav is on his mission to make her admit and accept it fully.Of course, we cant match Arnav also. What is he really making her do? Smile? Talk? Sing? Dance? Wrap gifts? Does not she just love to do these things? They both know this challenge is nothing but a farce but they are playing along.

So do we see any progress in Arnav's mission? At least I see. She lets him hold on to her while walking back to their room - loved the way they limped together. She reacts as he starts unbuttoning his shirt. Hasn't she already seen him bare and even gave a bath? Loved how Arnav tells her comfortably, "Come on, help me." Why did not she move away an inch when Arnav pulled her near him? Why did I feel she even leaned on him? What was she waiting for? Why were her fingers trembling? Why did it hurt that Arnav thought she was happy that he fell? Why did she waited to know what Arnav sees in her eyes? Arnav Singh Raizada, good job. 😊

So what else did I love about the episode? Nearly everything. Loved how Arnav'sexpression changed when Khushi was asked to give him a massage. Loved when he said casually to make Khushi comfortable, "Problem shirt me nehi hain, mere back me hain." Loved the return of Khushi'sdhak dhak as she proceeds to help him with his shirt. Loved theuse of light on Arnav's body - he was looking freaking fabulous. It was more beautiful than hot. Loved how Khushi quips, "Aap ki 24 ghante hain, jo karna hain ki jiye" and Arnav not missing the chance. Loved how he teased her with their proximity and ends it with a cute nose flick.

Loved how he was in control - making her tensed one moment and then trying to ease her. He has succeeded in making khushi Kumari Gupta flustered big time. At one moment he points to her trembling fingers and on the next he eases her, "Tumheto bahut accha laga hoga na ki maine gira.Socha honga hai Devi Maiya accha hua Arnavji ko unke kiye ki saja di." He knows his faults, he knows what he has caused Khushi .. But he also knows Khushi never wishes him any harm.

Loved the hot turned beautiful flip followed by a dialogue that spoke volume, "Jab tum chup hoti hon tab tumhari aankhein sab kuch sach sach bata deti hain Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada." Another full circle - Arnav reciprocated what Khushi told once, "Jisko ji jaan se chahte hain, jab usko nazron ke samne pate hain, tab Aankhei bolti hain, jubaan nehi."

Loved how Khushi gave in without an iota of protest. Loved how she waited to be read, to be claimed, to anticipate. Loved how she voiced her longing to know, "To kya jawab Mila aap ko?"

Loved how he gestured her - you don't need to understand and then again a nose tap, "Fir se laal ho geyi." Loved how he praised his wife, how he smiled - a smile of a man in love, a smile of a man at peace with love. Loved how he kept flustering her, flirting with her, "Tape ki jaroorat idhar nehi .. idhar hain." Loved how he smiled as she called, "Miss kar rehi hon mujhe ...I am fine Khushi, thanks."

Overall, it was a beautiful episode, again rightly balanced. It is the first time I felt they were conversing as a married couple, taunting each other, missing each other, keeping each other awake - again in their unique ways buy you can never miss to read the love in between. This track will end the day they will rise in love - rise above their ego, their hurt, their fears, their flaws.

Last but not the least, I am one happy soul that he decided to come back to RM for Anjali. He will live up to his words ... Things may go rough but he will try his best to make both of the women her priority. I will ignore the use of BD here but it was too obvious.

A few Random points:
1) "Shaitaan aise sharte bhulte hain kya" - the horror of contract marriage yet to be diluted
2)Khatre ki ghanta - on Arnav or by Arnav?

Message to Fandom: "Jyada khush hoke meethai khana shuru maat karna." 😊

Congratulations Archu🤗🤗 Your first crooner and you have done such a marvellous job🤗🤗. I just loved it😃I so love the title and the quote Archu!

The episode was all about Arnav Singh Raizada😳 and his attempts at striking a balance between the two most women in his life.

Arnav-Khushi:

Arnav has only 12 days to win his wife over...with just one day up, he has managed to stir his wife's desires😳. Arnav has only one goal in mind and that is to make sure his wife becomes aware of her feelings for him. He knows she loves him but she hasnt yet expressed her feelings to him. Arnav can see the love she has for him in her eyes but she need to accept it, acknowledge it and express it. When Arnav started taking off his shirt, one could notice the immediate change in Khushi. She felt uneasy, she started trembling and became extremely quiet. Khushi couldnt take her eyes off his lips...trying to gulp down the hesitation, she continued to stare at him while his eyes were fixed on her eyes. This was a contrast to what had happened in the past. This is not the first time Khushi has seen Arnav shirtless, but earlier she never paid attention to him the way she does now. I agree with you Archu, this kind of physical awareness was not shown earlier but maybe the circumstances there were in could justify it to a certain extent. Now with all the MU cleared and Arnav making noticeable advances towards her, it has become tough for Khushi to ignore the desire that is awakening within her😛. Arnav could feel the trembling hands on his bare back and understood that the game he was playing has stared having effects on her😉. Without turning to her, he asked her if she had asked for something bad to happen to him...he noticed the silence and then turned around to see the pain and love in Khushi's eyes and immediately pulled her towards himself. I just loved the few minutes of eye lock they shared...one of their best. Each knew what was in other's mind😳. I could not help but notice that Khushi did not shy away...she did not resist...she did not protest...she was slowly giving in😳😳. Did Arnav notice the lack of protest from Khushi's side...Its high time ki tum meri saath aage bado and she once again did just that. He sure did...his smile said it all😳. The few minutes of proximity left her flabbergasted probably wanting for more but Arnav will never force himself on her😳. He will wait for her to accept this marriage whole heartedly and only then make her his in the true sense😳.

Once he was done with the awakening bit, he moved to the issue that was troubling Khushi! She had to earn 24,000 and he had to make her do some work. She didnt want his "ehsaan" and was willing to work for him. Arnav didnt want to hurt her self-respect by not making her work...what better way to keep her engaged...he asked her to wrap and unwrap the gifts😆😆😆. He didnt leave any opportunity when he saw the tape on her face. He touched her lips slightly tingling those senses once again😳. Khushi being Khushi didnt take it too lightly..she wanted revenge😆. She didnt spare him for a single minute and kept irritating him till he came running back to her and asked her to shut up🤣🤣🤣. I felt Khushi was exerting her haq as his wife by calling him every hour...something which he would have appreciated during the day for sure😆😆. Loved the Jahanpanah, your aaka is at your service!!!🤣

Arnav-Anjali:

I loved how Arnav went back home inspite of telling Anjali that he would be spending the night at Buaji's place. This small gesture re instilled the confidence, faith and trust Anjali has in Arnav. She always knew her chotte would be there for her but today, he proved it once again. Arnav knew Anjali wanted to share the most important news with him. She wanted him to see the video of the baby. She had made some badam kheer just for him. How could he have not come over? Arnav was only glad to be part of this beautiful moment. He will not have the same feelings as Anjali would have but he being there for Anjali spoke volumes on their delicate relationship. The two women are the most important people in his lives...period! Its sad that people in this forum fail to see this.

Other points:

1. It was interesting to see how Arnav and Khushi had some meetha...har shubh kaam se pehle kuch meetha ho jaye😉

2. I am in love with Garima...period!😃

3. Sanaya looked beautiful in the night suit...can she please wear the same during the day? Those suits are 1000 times better than her tents

4. Loved the way Khushi was being so sincere and loyal towards her work. It was way past midnight but she didnt go to sleep because she wanted to earn her 24,000 b being honest. No Ramanchi here😊 (Btw, it feels great to use the word Ramanchi in real life...I used it on my husband yesterday, he was like what ramanchi🤣)

5. Raat baaki...baat baaki. Arnav is back to GH. Lets see what these do to kill time😆😆😆. Day 1 of the 12-day mission has been successful👍🏼. One down...11 more to go😃

6. Barun has had a tiny winy hair trim...looks better now but cant wait for him to cut it really short.

7. Barun and Sanaya were in their element yesterday. The passion, desire, love, pain, joy everything portrayed brilliantly. Daljeet was good too but couldnt help notice the BD in that scene.

8.
