DISTURBING CLUES
Clue 1:
Khushi wants Arnav to take her back to the secret garden after the wedding - Arnav talked about them being one, Khushi still needs the wedding
Clue 2:
Garima's concern that Khushi will not be able to live without Arnav - She knows how important Arnav is to Khushi
Clue3:
Nannav, tum to bare bekhabar ho - NKs slip-ups usually are omens
When he called Arnav ravan, Sita haran ( wedding) happened
Clue 4:
Dadi's volte face - you will wear these kangans till the wedding - why till the wedding, family heirlooms are forever - so the wedding will be never?
Clue 5:
Garima- You saved my daughter's life, she cannot live without Arnav .
Dadi - I know - sinister, very sinister
Clue 6:
Khushi : I am scared because Laad Governor is smiling - yes we know whenever LG is happy, something bad happens
THE THREE GROUPS
Group 1:
The master manipulator behind the curtain like a puppeteer
Dadi and Garima - the two players in this game - one willingly, the other unwillingly
Group 2:
Arnav and Khushi - two people whose lives are set to tear apart
Group 3:
The family - together rejoicing - you dont get to see that often - no payal mami rift, no mami buaji rift, no payal akash rift, no nani mami rift
Is it the last time before things break apart?
WHO WILL SIDE WITH WHOM?
If we see the family position when Garima was about tell khushi the truth:
1. Arnav, Khushi and Garima were together
2. Anji crossed over to Shame - so she will be opposed to Arshi - it will look like shame is supporting Anji, but reality as we know is he will be manipulating her
3. Rest of the family together away from both groups - united for now - it will be interesting to watch who sides with whom and how do they cross over to Arshi camp
THE PROMO
So dadi plans to tell Arnav at a time when Khushi will be most hurt - being stood up at the altar
She in her quest for revenge is hurting her grandson the most - but her anger has blinded her to it

On the edge of my seat -
Will he Wont he?

CLOSING COMMENTS :
Yesterday Arnav revived his childhood - and remembered the happy times
He played passing the parcel, drew a moustache on Khushi's face, ran around the room - all happy child acts
He remembered the happy times with his mama
He seemed to have put the ugliness behind him
The ugly side of the childhood is returning to haunt him
Khushi's mother is the cause of his mother's death
It cant get any worse than this
Will he? Wont he?
Will she?
