From Arnav to Khushi:

"But you're so busy changing the world

Just one smile can change all of mine"
~ Jack Johnson

One thing had been constantly nagging me.. Until I finally figured out why!!

Seeing Arnav hell bent on keeping Khushi smiling, I could not help remembering something Khushi told him in the past!

I am sorry I keep taking you to their past moments.. But the past and the future of Khushi and Arnav are so beautifully entwined together.. that one is always left to wonder about the other when talking about ONE.. There can be no present and future without past reminisces!

Arnav's redemption is truly on its course.. Well Of course.. ASR style..

Coming back to the scene of the past..

One day in not so distant past when Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada used to be only Khushi Kumaru Gupta.. ASR had hurt her by reminding her of her broken engagement.. Khushi being Khushi had told him the reason behind her actions.. That she wanted to bring a smile to her sister's face.. And to bring a smile to Payal's face.. She can do ANYTHING!! But he Arnav Singh Raizada.. for whom everything was about money and status, has no clue what it feels to bring a smile on someone's face!

Today.. he is making every effort possible to bring a smile to her face.. He tried being sweet.. He tried being mad like her.. recreating moments they had spent together.. which they will cherish FOREVER! When nothing worked.. He ORDERED her that she had to SMILE for him..

He values her smile.. He values her happiness.. When he had made her smile by the poolside by intentionally blocking her path, Just so that she will come out of her misery.. He realised how precious her smile was to him.. And he never wanted that smile to slip off her face!

He wants her to live up to her name---- KHUSHI---- As Khushi once said.. humaare to naam mein hi khushi hai!

HE wants that Khushi! A Khushi who always had a smile.. A Khushi who could bring a smile to anyone's face.. A Khushi whose RADIANT smile was able to thaw his FROZEN heart.. A Khushi who SMILED in the face of all ADVERSITY! A Khushi despite what life dished to her, never backed down.. A Khushi who stood up to a mighty and powerful Arnav Singh Raizada.. A Khushi whose zest for life and her EVER READY smile was able to break through the dark clouds of misery that surrounded him after the revelation of truth and once again was able to bring light to his LIFE!

Her smile is what brings out the SUN in his world! Keeping a smile on her face, has become his purpose' And there is nothing he would not do to get back the KHUSHI he fell in love with!

He knows that he is responsible for her misery! He has hurt her! In the past he has made her lose that very smile he craves now innumerable times! Now that he has lost it.. He has found out the true value of it..

For him her smile is PRICELESS!

"Most couples have not had hundreds of arguments;

they've had the same argument hundreds of times."

~Gay Hendricks

Arnav and Khushi take nok-jhok and arguments to a different level! However much they try.. they can simply not agree to the other.. If Arnav says its black.. Khushi has to retort, why? I think its white.. You are not always RIGHT! I am telling you its white..

Each argument is for one and one thing ONLY! The urge to be recognised by the other.. Pleading to notice each other as EQUAL! Wanting the other to acknowledge I am also there! I matter! Every thing Arnav has been doing past couple of weeks is for her to give him his rightful place as her HUSBAND! Every time he says "haq hai tumhaara, mujh pe" He wants to hear her say.. " Aap ka bhi haq hai, humaare par.. Aap humaare pati hain"

The truth she is proud to announce to the rest of the world! That he is her HUSBAND.. and she is his WIFE! but is afraid to tell him! To whom the words would mean the WORLD!

All there arguments stem from the fact that she is not ready to accept him and he wants her to accept him wholeheartedly without any qualms!

Intention vs Action

Whatever Arnav's action might be..the only thing that matters is his INTENTION! His only intention right now being to make her realise and accept her love for him! To make her believe that this marriage is for keeps! His intention is to be with her every second of the day! Hence the 24 hour deal!Khushi overlooked a very simple fact.. That by asking her to work for him for 24 hours.. He wanted to impress upon her that he wants to spend every single moment of the day with her!

Being an opportunist.. ceases every chance to be close to her.. Physically and emotionally! He seizes the opportunity to be taken care by his lovely life when his Mother in law suggested! Throwing in the dramatics when she tried to back off! Putting an arm around her shoulders, drawing strength for her.. and giving strength to her.. They walked together to their sanctuary! His intentions very clear! To extract as much TENDER LOVING CARE from his wife as possible and giving the same in return!

Read it in my eyes!

It was Khushi who had once asked Arnav to look in to her eyes and see the truth for himself.. Khushi who had asked him that whatever she has done was for him and the happiness of HIS family..

Today it was Arnav who reminded her that it was not required for him to listen to her words.. She can deny all that she wants about how she feels.. But he can read her feelings in her eyes! However nonchalant she might try to be.. She may try to show that she was unaffected by his proximity.. She may hate him on the surface.. but deep down he knows that she LOVES him as much as he loves her.. He can see the truth of her feelings in those beautiful wide eyes of her! which follow his every movement.. The eyes which are full of longing for him.. The eyes which speak volumes to him! Not only that.. he can see her NEED for him.. He can see how much she loves being close to him! How his touch affects her.. How his proximity rattles her.. How as he moves closer.. Her eyes are asking him to close that last of the distance between them..

I was simply bowled over by his tap to her nose twice! So tender.. so loving! so full of emotions! He had come so close to finish what he started.. But Arnav Singh Raizada has made a resolve to himself.. That no matter the cost to his self control.. He will make Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada bridge the last gap between them.. It will be her ACCEPTANCE of him as her husband.. He has proven again and again what he feels.. Its her turn to prove that she is willing to walk towards him and ultimately with him!

Now since I am mentioning the tap on the nose.. How can I not talk about the sweetest of the caress to her lips! He pastes a tape to her mouth after removing it from her cheek.. and when she pulls it off, hurting herself in the process.. He gently soothes the hurt with his caress.. Trying to soothe her pain! An expression of immense tenderness and deep love visible on his face..

Finally.. a Khushi who wants him to read her eyes is visible.. A wife asking her husband.. does he really think that she would wish him any hurt or misfortune.. Khushi wants him to see the love for him in her eyes! And asks him what did he see? His response that good we fell.. startled her.. Because it was what she was thinking.. The fall brought them a little closer to each other! Once again the events after the fall proved how comfortable they are with each other..

Giving back as good as she gets!

Mr Raizada may know his sweet little wifey inside out.. But there is always one thing he forgets! That she may be sweet.. but she is also a minx! If he troubles her.. he will not be allowed to walk away unscathed! She will make sure that he suffers all the way with her.. He always commits the blunder of underestimating her! She may not use her brain.. doesn't mean she doesn't have one.. And her brain is hard wired for pranks! He should never forget Newton's third law of motion---- Every action has equal and opposite reaction----

She will not let him be.. if he wants her to be a radio, she will darn well make sure that she is at least the ALARM CLOCK which he can put on snooze but not turn off!

Arnav Singh Raizada-- The Trapezist

Ever since Arnav confronted his di about the truth of his feelings.. and became aware of her insecurities regarding her place in his universe... he has tried to walk on the thin rope..

I loved Arnav and Anjali scene for this reason.. The balancing act which this gentleman had so effortlessly pulled out.. He had been lost for a while in his love for Khushi.. but once he realised what a delicate state Anji is in.. He is making sure that he showers her with attention..

The act of his going back to her for eating the badam kheer she had made for him.. And his being aware of the fact that she would not have eaten without him.. Reassured her of her importance in his life! It was a huge gesture of love on his part for his sister.. the result was that he was welcomed with an open heart and beautiful smile of his di.. A person whose happiness will always matter to him the MOST!
