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?
