Khushi gets emotional.. her eyes well up as she hears Arnav apologize. Her anger melts away. For a few moments they both gaze into each others eyes.. Arnav looks Khushi into the eye and says in a sincere voice, "Khushi, I am really sorry for what I said to you!" Khushi responds in a heavy voice with welled up eyes, "In fact, even I need to apologize to you! I know that my actions hurt you." Arnav shakes his head gently and says, "Di is happy and that's all that matters. Thanks, Khushi!" Now Khushi's eyes fill up to the brim.. Khushi had thought that she would never hear 'thank you' or 'sorry' from Arnav.. and Arnav shares both the valuable emotions back to back with her..
Khushi's emotions see no bounds.. her heart fills up with affection.. admiration.. love' for her beloved.. who is such a rough stone on surface but underneath a soft hearted shining diamond.. Her heart takes over.. as her eyes caress Arnav's face she bends over and reaches fro Arnav's face and plants a brief but proper kiss on his cheek.. instantly providing relief to Arnav's aching heart.. his face brightens with happiness' Containment.. the very gesture his heart was longing for ever.. Just the same way Aranv gives Khushi the gift of two most valuable phrases unexpectedly, Khushi surprises him by initiating the kiss without being asked for' Khushi's gaze continues to caress Arnav's face with affection, Arnav's eyes reciprocate same love and happiness her love brings to him. Khushi then leans over to kiss Arnav on the other cheek, she is about to plant her kiss when all of a sudden the spell breaks due to Buaji's voice, "Khushi, .. Khushi' " Khushi immediately pulls away.. looks at the door and then turns back and looks at Arnav.. His gaze still full of anticipation.. and soft.. Khushi turns away and heads towards the door.. Arnav reaches for her and grabs her by the arm.. Khushi says in a soft voice, without turning back to look at him. bashful.. "What are you doing?.. Let go of me. Let me go, please!" Arnav says in soft voice, "If I let go of your hand then.. I will never ever hold it again!" It stuns Khushi.. her heart sinks' she immediately turns around and asked with worried eyes', "Why did you say that?" Arnav holds her arm gently and says taking a step forward, "I was just kidding, Khushi! Relax.." Khushi pulls her arm out of his grip with sharp swing. As Arnav opens his mouth to say something, Khushi fires back. " I don't like such jokes!" her vulnerable heart reflects through her moist eyes.. the fear of unknown.. suppressed underneath the anger.. , ".. understood?" Arnav says in a calm understanding voice, "Okay!" "Never ever say it again!" Arnav says in a gentle, soft voice, "Okay , I'm sorry.. I'm sorry' sorry.." .. reaches out to Khushi, gently places one hand on her shoulder, another on the back of her head, gently pulls her close... holds her close to his heart in pacifying embrace.. Khushi rests her head on his chest, closes her eyes.. her hands wrapped around him. she holds him tight.. The mature lover in Arnav loves the way his 'zalli'.. 'crazy'.. Khushi finds solace in his embrace.. and does not seem to want to let go.. Arnav's face stays brightened with an affectionate, happy smile.. as he holds Khushi close, gently gives her a squeeze on her shoulder' Buaji calls again, "Hey Sanka Devi..don't you want to go home?" But Khushi does not move.. she stays as such with her henna filled arms still wrapped around Arnav, her head resting on his chest, her head snuggled underneath his chin.. and face.. her eyes closed' Arnav waits for a few moments.. then says in a soft, gentle voice, "Khushi', shall we go downstairs?" Khushi opens her eyes.. slowly pulls herself away from Arnav. Looks at Arnav.. his face pleasant. A gentle smile..a twinkle of joy brought on by Khushi's outburst and then the trust she just showed in him.. that told him what he means to her.. he says with an affectionate smile, "Let's go!" Khushi turns around.. bashful.. they leave to go down stairs..
In Anjali's room.. Anjali sits on the bed. Shyam sits on the edge of the bed. He hands Anjali a piece of apple, she takes a bite and says happily, "I am very happy' everything is slowly getting the way it was before.." Shyam plays along, "I am also very happy, rani Sahiba, that at last Saale Sahab agreed. To tell you the truth, Saale Sahab and Khushi ji are made for each other.. We will get them married on a large scale! The whole atmosphere in the house will be different, Rani Sahiba!.. Everyone is going to be so happy.. especially you! Why not, it's your Chhotey getting married after all!" Holds Anjali's hand and says, "I am very happy that I will be there for their marriage! Now everything will be alright, Rani Sahiba, you stop worrying now!" Just them comes a knock on the door and Dadi enters. Anjali says, "Oh, Dadi ji! .. did you see Khushi ji and Buaji?" Shyam immediately stands up. Dadi says, "I will meet with them later.. Now you need to relax first." Dadi and Shyam tuck Anjali in.. As soon as Anjali closes her eyes, Dadi says to Shyam, "I want to talk to you!" "Yes, Dadi ji!" Shyam says obediently. They both leave the room.
Down stairs, Buaji says her good byes, "Okay, Nand Kisore' We should get going!" Nani ji suggests, "Madhumati ji, shall we celebrate 'Haldi'.. turmeric ceremony.. slightly differently this time.. so that the color will spread around and take over!" Bauji agrees, "Well said.. absolutely.. whatever you wish!" They head to the door.. Arnav walks in, looks at Khushi leaving, calls out in a soft whisper, 'Khushi!" Khushi hears him as she is about to step out of the door.. She steps back in as Arnav walks over to her. Arnav looks her into the eye and says, "Thanks, Khushi, for returning me my Di!" Khushi smiles gentle and wide. Her eyes twinkle. Arnav continues in a soft sincere voice, "My anger might have led to the separation of my Di from me! .. Now Shyam is back' I don't trust him at all!"
I just loved it that Arnav openly acknowledged that he does not trust Shyam at all.. I hope he stays vigilant! Khushi reaches out to Arnav, gently holds his face in her hand affectionately, says, 'I know!" caress his face softly to comfort him and says, "I will take your leave!" Arnav nods and Khushi starts walking towards the door when he calls her again in a husky voice, "Khushi.." Khushi's heart brings her right back in front of Arnav.. he says looking deep in her eyes, "I promise you.. .. You and Me'." Khushi adds, "' always..right? " It brings a smile to Arnav's face. His pleasant smirk.. brings smile to Khushi's face.. he says softly, "always.. " and Khushi leaves with a smile on her face. As soon as she turns around, she mutters under her breath, "He cannot even say what's in his heart in Hindi!.. Laad Goevrnor.. of nowhere!" and smiles affectionately. That also brings a smile to Aranv's face..
I just thought that two beautiful but poles apart situations were mixed together.. the seriousness of their promise cannot come across due to lack of clarity in the dialogue.. and then the light remark Khushi makes.. contrasts with the seriousness of the promise. Would have loved to see these scenes slightly apart' Khushi turns around before leaving and smiles at Arnav' Arnav gives her an affectionate smile back' Khushi blushes.. Arnav certainly loves a shy Khushi. his heart leaps with joy into his eyes.. as his gaze follows Khushi out of the door.
Arnav smiles to himself.. all dazed.. deep under the spell of the beautiful moments he just shared with Khushi.. he walks up the stairs in a trance.. smiles to himself.. intermittently looks back at the door.. As he gets up the stairs.. the broad smile vanishes from his face when he spots Shyam knocking on Dadi's door. Curiosity takes over as Dadi pulls a section of curtains apart to let Shyam in before opening the glass door. Arnav's curiosity deepens as Dadi pulls the door closed and the curtains flushed as soon as Shyam enters the room. Shya asks Dadi, "Dadi ji, you wanted to talk to me?" "Yes! .. After what YOU have told me about that girl, Khushi.. I don't think then the right things are happening here!" Bravo! I knew it.. Shyam spilled the venom about Khushi in Dadi's mind.. But Dadi, if you are so experienced, how did you decide to trust Shyam who you had never met before? Did no one tell you not to talk with or not to trust the strangers? And I still have my question unanswered, who has given Dadi the right to make any decisions regarding Arnav's life?
Arnav's suspicion leads him to take the poolside stairs to Dadi's room. He approches the galss window and stands there quietly, listening to Dadi and Shyam's conversation. Dadi says, "I don't like that girl, Khushi! at all!" disgust in her eyes. Shyam says in a vulnerable voice, "What should I say, Dadi ji?" " There must be some way to correct this mistake'. Now you tell me a solution to this mistake!" Dadi asks. Shyam goes to answer the question when he spots Arnav's reflection in the mirror standing outside the door.. His shrewd mind quickly changes gears. To Arnav's surprise he says, "No Dadi ji! Neither would I solve anything.. nor would you say a thing!" 'Dadamd ji!" dadi says. He interrupts, "Yes, Dadi ji! I accept that whatever happened until now was wrong.. but now, everything will go right! I won't make a mistake.. In fact, I will reform myself! I promise you, Dadi Ji!" Puzzled, deep in his thoughts Arnav takes off.. Shyam notices him leaving,.. his face becomes sharp as he whispers to Dadi, "Arnav!" OH, come on! Now Shyam, who is pretending to be such a sincere son-in-law of the house, he and Dadi both are living at the cost of Arnav.. Now Shyam calls him by his name instead of his usual 'Saale Sahab'.." How should that fare with Dadi?.. But wait a minute, I am not supposed to use any logic.. I guess than, I just have to let go! Shyam rushes to close the glass window, but before that he makes sure that Arnav is still not around. Then pulls the curtain close.. " I understood what you are trying to say, Dadi ji! Don't worry! We will find a way definitely!"
Next Day:
At Buaji's: Khushi looks at her henna clad hands.. says with little frustration, "My mehendi.. henna has not brought in rich color.. and he claims to love me!" Buaji happens to pass by and hears her' she says, "Hey Sanka Devi.. Angry young woman, what are you muttering.. under the breath!?" Khushi puffs up her cheeks like a child and shows her hands to Buaji, "See, Buaji!" Buaji holds her hands and says excitedly, "Haye re Nand Kisore.. how red is your henna colored nicely!" she wards evil off, then says with fake anger, "Do you want it to become black like the coal?" Khushi looks at Buaji with disbelief.. Just then walks in Garima, asks, "What happened, Khushi?" "Look at this Amma, my mehendi has not gained much color!" Garima goes, "Oh, yes! It's really..' just then her eyes catch Buaji on the other side gesturing her not to say so.. Khushi's eyes follow Garima's gaze and find Buaji making signs to her. Garima now goes, "Oh, no, Khushi! Look at the color.. it's beautiful!" "Lie!.. You both are lying to me!" Khushi says frustrated and angrily, "And the biggest one.. he said! If he really loved me then my mehendi would not have such pale color!.. Laad Governor of nowhere!" and walks away.
Sun is up in the sky by now. Bird chirp outside.. Arnav still asleep in his bed.. his face calm.. He wakes up.. as he opens his eyes and looks around, a happy smile spreads across his lips brightening his face. As soon as he sits up in the bed, he notices his engagement ring missing.. He starts looking around in the bed for the ring. As he looks up and down, underneath the pillows and the bed.. Anjali walks in, "Chhotey?" Arnav looks up at Anjali's questioning eyes.. just then walk in NK and Mami. "hello Hi Bye Bye! It's the day of Haldi.. turmeric ceremony.. and the groom is in bed..! I mean.. under the bed.. ?" Anjali smiles but Arnav still seems worried' Nk asks, "Nannav, what happened? What are you looking for?" "Yes.. that.. Khushi'I.. nothing.. nothing.. nothing at all.., " Arnav says Anjali goes and picks up the ring from the bed, smiles mischievously and says, "Chhotey, were you looking for this?" NK and Mami smile at each other.. "Yes.. thanks!" Arnav's face once again brightens with a happy smile to get the ring back.."
Just then enter Aakash and Payal, all dressed up, "Arey, what are you guying doing here? Come on, get ready fast! Dadi ji is all ready.. (he means Nani).. We need to leave.. " Payal adds, "Otherwise we will be late for the Haldi ritual.." Arnav asks with a lot of hope in his voice, "Has Khushi arrived?" Everyone smiles and look at each other mysteriously.. Anjali says, "I knew that you would ask this!" NK does not pass on the chance to tease Arnav, says, "Nannav, look at him.. my bro.. missing Khushi ji very much, right?" "That's why we decided that Haldi will be celebrated at Khushi ji's place!" Arnav looks at Anjali surprised as a happy smile soon replaces the surprise for his face.. .. Anjali teases him, "Look at my Chhotey!" Everyone smiles affectionately at Arnav. "Oh, yes!" Anjali declares, "You all listen to this carefully.. particularly, you Payal ji! No one should let anyone at Khushi ji's know that we will be going for Haldi to their place! This will be our surprise!" Everyone agrees.. and then they rush out of Arnav's room to get ready.. The pleasant smile.. depicting Arnav's hopeful heart does not leave his face as he rushes towards the bathroom! Another happy moment shared by the Raizada's old style!
Garima and Buaji wait outside Khushi'r room, "Arey, Khushi, are you ready yet?.. Khushi.." The door opens.. house is beautifully decorated' from behind the decorative curtains. Emerges a stunning Khushi.. al decked up in white.. flowery ornamental jewelry.. and a white Bengali style saree' complete her beautiful outfit.. Khushi looks simply gorgeous! Buaji's heart jumps out with excitement and affection, "Haye re Nand Kisore..!" She wards off evil.. Garima takes a little kohl from her eyeliner and put it behind Khushi's ear to ward off evil' and says, "Jiji, doesn't she look gorgeous!" They both affectionately drool over her, "No one should cast their evil eye on you!" Buaji says and then says, 'Garima, let us go! Let us get the Haldi ready.." They are about to make a move when a bunch of ladies show up at the door.. Buaji asks with surprise to Garima, "Did you call these song-dance group?" 'No, Jiji, I did not!" Garima says. As they watch surprised, puzzled, Nani enters with a smile on her face.. followed by the members of the Raizada clan. Buaji exclaims, 'Haye re Nand Kisore!.. you all.. here?" rushes to welcome them. Mami says, "Where else? We have come for the turmeric ceremony' " Nani adds, "Madhumati ji, I thought that let's do it together!" Khushi asks, "Together?" Payal says, "Yes, Khushi! Whole Raizada clan is here.. to celebrate your Haldi'!" That rings an alarm for Garima.. Just then enters Shyam through the door.. , "Namaste ji!" Every face shows disgust for him except Anjali's. Mami chimes in helping the situation, "Oh, come on! The groom's side has arrived.. no welcome.. no special treatment?" Buaji says, "Haye re Nand Kisore.. we will give you such special treatment that you will forget 'Hello Hi' and would say, 'Bye Bye'!" Everyone bursts into laughter.. Buaji says, 'I am just kidding! Come on in!"
Everyone follows Buaji except Khushi.. her eyes eagerly look for Arnav.. she nervously rolls her hands over each other,.. NK spots her.. restless. Eagerly waiting for Arnav to show through the door.. He walks over and says, "Khushi ji!... Ia m really sorry, Khushi ji.. but Nannav did not come.. I'm sorry!" "What?.. Why?... It's his Haldi also!" Khushi says. "yes, but, Nannav does not like all this Haldi.. whatever.. so he said, for the time being put the Haldi on me.. so, here I am.. I am Nannav for today!" he straightens his collar!.. As Khushi's jaw drops and she looks away, NK smiles mischievously. Khushi says, "Okay?.. If it's so much trouble for him then why is he going through the trouble of marriage?" "exactly!" says NK excitedly, then asks, "Khushi ji, they lift the veil after marriage.. why would Nannav lift 'zehmat'.. 'trouble' after marriage?" Khushi gives a friendly tap over Nk's forehead, says, "You too.. Nanhe ji.. !.. " then folds her arms and says, " Go and tell your Nannav ji, Then I will marry Salman Khan ji!" "Excuse me!" Khushi's pleasantly surprised to hear Arnav's voice.. her face changes as the happiness sinks in to see him.. Arnav walks in. his gaze steady on her face, looking handsome in his white Kurta.., "What did you say?" Khushi does not give in easily, says with a challenging gaze, "I said that if you don't like to come for rituals then no problem! I have Salman Khan ji!" Arnav says, "I guess so! He is waiting for you at the Laxmi Nagar signal.. stop light.. Go and marry him!" Arnav challenges her! SOOO CUTE!
Khushi complains, "Has I put the mehendi in his name then at least it would have gained deeper color!" throws an angry glance at Arnav before she leaves.. Arnav looks at her amused.. wonders, "What 'chiz' is this girl' What exactly is she?" Nk gets all excited, says, "Cheese?.. where is cheese? I love cheese, yaar! Oh, that reminds me ,.. I am very hungry!.. Very hungry.. cheese!" He runds his nad in circles on his tummy.. Buaji comes over, "Nand Kisore.. Damad ji.. son-in-law--.. you are here.. Very good!" NK rests his hand on Arnav's shoulder and hides his face from Buaji.. Garima's heart starts pounding with fear as Buaji asks, "Is Dadi ji not here yet?" Nani ji informs, "Subhadra has gone to the temple' to get the holy water for later on after haldi.." Garima is relieved. Buaji welcomes Arnav.
Khushi still continues with her aggravated.. angry.. tantrum phase.. says to herself as she reaches for boxes on top of the cupboard, "Who can say that he is such a big fat liar just by looking at his face!" "give it to me!" pops on the scene Arnav, offers helping hand. But his sweetheart is all upset about her mehendi not having a deep rich color.. "Move aside!' she says as she stumbles getting down. Puts the boxes away on the bed.. Before she can walk away, Arnav grabs Khushi's arm and swirls her around to face him.. Khushi struggles to free her hand from his grip.. "It's red!" Arnav says. "What?" Khushi asks. "Nose.. Your nose has turned red!" says Arnav with a subtle mischievous twinkle in his eyes.." "Because.. you don't love me.. that's why!" Khushi yells at him. He asks her teasingly with an innocent face, 'Really? Was it in the morning news paper?" Khushi yells back after freeing her hand from his grip,"I am not kidding, Arnav ji! You really don't love me!" Arnav looks at her with surprise first.. then his gaze changes as he realizes that Khushi is serious about what she said.. his face shows deep hurt.."Look at this.. I have a proof!" Khushi shows him her henna clad hand. " Such light color of the henna.. on a bride's hand!" Arnav's jaw firms up.. his features sharp.. his eyes turn cold taken over by hurt and anguish.. as Khushi continues to yell at him, "If you really loved me then my mehendi would have a rich deep color! You liar!" She says and like a child turns around to leave.. Arnav grabs her by the arm.. his teeth clenched.. his eyes determined.. He pulls Khushi close to him.. looks her deep in the eye and says in a soft but stern voice, "Don't you dare say that again! Never!.. My love needs no proof!" Khushi finally calms down when she sees the fire in his eyes.. she says in a softer voice, "Arnav ji, that's not what I meant!" "Then.. what did you mean?" he asks her softly.. "Forgive me.." Khushi says. Arnav holds Khushi close. Very close to him.. one arm wrapped around her waist. As his searching gaze penetrates deep in Khushi's eyes' his other hand reaches for Khushi's hand resting on his chest.. His eyes don't leave Khushi's face.. deep affection oozes from his eyes as he gingerly hold Khushi's hand into his and slowly brings it to his lips.. His gaze still steady on Khushi's face.
