Until recently, Arnav wasn't even aware that he's part of a game, a game started by Shyam who already won a few rounds. Today, he's not only fully cognizant (thanks to NK bhai) that Shyam is ahead of the game, but also comprehends that not just Khushi and him, but Anjali is also the target in this vicious game. Imagine, one fine day you wake up and realize you are right in the middle of a war, what choice do you have but to fight, right? But to do that, you need to know who the enemy is, what are his/her plans so that you can strategize and then prepare to attack. Arnav took the first step, pretended that he didn't know about the cameras, checked Shyam's laptop and the pieces of the puzzle are slowly beginning to fall together.
Today, Arnav and Khushi, the partners, know that Shyam was responsible for Anjali's baby being aborted. To Arnav, his Di is very precious and he loves her like his own mother. How do you think he feels knowing that the loss of his Di's baby was not an accident of nature, but an accident deliberately caused by a human and that too his worst enemy? He's enraged and wants to confront Shyam immediately. Khushi now understands the repercussions of her actions of bringing back Shyam, deeply regrets her earlier sentiments and apologizes. She cautions Arnav not to take hasty steps because they don't have evidence and what they collected is just not enough to nail Shyam. She reminds him how during the kidnap fiasco whatever little evidence they provided was overturned by Shyam. Since Di is blindly in love with her Shyam, to break her trust in him, they need to collect concrete evidence. For that, they need to work together and come up with ideas. Yes, united we stand to win the war.
Arnav and Khushi start collecting information about the dhol wala who was at the function and figure out that it was indeed Shyam. Next, when NK gets mami ji to confess her mistakes by pretending to be DM, Khushi's brainwa mein seedwa lag hi gaya. She discusses her ideas with Arnav who agrees very reluctantly. Their first step to stop the enemy in his tracks is to get the house painted. Shyam is totally worried that his hidden cameras will be found out and removes all of them. What a nice way to get all of the cameras out in one swoop (whoo hoo, lovely strategy). First round to Arnav and Khushi 👏.
Ahhh, freedom at last from the disgusting cameras for the love birds. 'Hum jo chahe kar sakte hain' says Khushi. Don't even get started girl, don't you know what's going to happen? But Arnav bitwa who's never slow with such things, gets his cue right away. His whole persona changes and Khushi bitiya is able to read him better these days when he gets THAT LOOK in his melting brown eyes. He slowly walks towards her and she gets all flustered and bothered only to say she didn't mean they should... bitwa, who's deliberately misleading her, teasing her, walks past her and bends down to pick up his phone on the bed. Khushi is surprised and a little embarrassed because she thought he was going to do something to her (hayye, what a delicious thought, but you need to wait a bit more my dear😉).
A: Kya hua (very innocently)
K: Kuch nahin (poor thing doesn't know what to say)
When she's about to leave, he pulls her towards him, slowly bends down his head towards her
A: tumhe lag raha that ki main aise kuch karne wala hoon' (did you think I was going to kiss you baby)
K: stammers, Nahin hum soch rahe the ki humara agla kadam kya hona chahiye (nothing but to get into bed with him for the missed SR)
It's back to practical matters on hand. A lover's tiff ensues when Arnav feels Khushi's plans to trap Shyam won't work while she has total faith in her plans. Khushi is all pouty because he's not supporting her. Shall we wait and see if they kiss and make up tomorrow?😉
Bahut Mazaa Aaya:
1) NK bhai, the true friend, follows Khushi's instructions to a T and drags Shyam away from his bedroom to help open the gifts, even though Shyam is protesting. Of course, Shyam is not given time to even look around to see if something is amiss. I wonder how NK, the skinny guy was able to push the hefty, bulky Shyam, it just made me laugh, great going NK.👍🏼
2) Is Anjali living in the real world or is she from the pariyon ki duniya? How can she not realize that her feet are hurt and why isn't she doing something about it? No medicines? and lo, I thought this family pops meds like there's no tomorrow, why not now, hain?😕
3) Liked the way Arnav walked away in anger and distress, not waiting for Khushi, after he comes to know from Khushi's looks that his Di's feet were in fact hurt by the glass pieces. We still see some left over traces of ASR in him.
4) 'Humhe maaf kar dijiye Arnav ji, hum hi Shyam ji koh iss ghar mein wapas le aaye'. Wow, I'm so glad Khushi said this. I wasn't very happy when she brought back Shyam and for the first time didn't like her actions because it was a serious error in judgment.
5) NK hiding behind the moorti of Devi Maiyya, pretending to be DM, addressing mami ji as balike and getting her to confess her sins😆
6) Mami ji was too funny and asks DM 'Engliss may bhi batiayat hain' and telling the fake DM that she'll email her the list of sins in private and in detail😆
7) Once again nani ji proves she's a truly a wise and kind woman who sees behind the faade of makeup and sharp tongue of her good hearted daughter-in-law. But she also knows Manorama will never admit her mistakes 😊
To Ponder
1) Memory fails me but is it Anjali's right leg or left leg that's in a brace or does it keep switching based on convenience? Moi totally conphujed 😕
2) Why didn't Anjali tell anyone that her feet were cut by glass shards? Does she know whodunit?🤔
3) What is Shyam's game? Is it just revenge on Arnav and Khushi? Then why try to kill Anjali? Does he think he'll kill her, separate the love birds and then marry Khushi and live happily ever after?
4) I wish the five fingers in different sizes and shapes that mami mentioned (she was referring to pooris) will turn out to be Arnav, Khushi, NK, Akash and Payal who'll fight against Shyam like the pancha pandavas, yes, yes yes👍🏼
5) Will Khushi's plans work? May be they will, may be they won't, but during kidnap track she did operate alone and NK helped her and she did finally succeed in reaching Arnav. Are we sure she didn't give the suggestion about painting the house and look how well this plan worked to get the cameras out. Either way, even if her plans fail, Arnav is still there to take care of things. Why not give her a chance.
6) Yeh kya, aur ek naya HP or is it IP, JP, KP or ZP?? Can't even keep track of the names of theej ebher changing phasewa😕
Thank you for reading the post . Hope you enjoyed it. I'm really sad to know that REDUX is closing (just read Satya's post), but am so glad to have met so many wonderful people who shared excellent ideas and it was almost like a wonderful circle of friends was created with people from different parts of the world and can one forget the feeling of love and affection that are very much part of REDUX?
Love,
Lucky2.
