Episode 30

A MOUNTAIN OF JALEBI (kushi)

GH- Kushi is in the kitchen frantically making and eating jalebi as she is remembering all the incidents between her and ASR.😡 From the first time she met him she could see in her mind's eye😕 the runway fall into his arms and how he broke her pearl dori threatening her, and him ripping her dupatta, and him letting go of her hand and her falling on the boxes in the office and finally the incident in the guesthouse and him holding on to her wrists and pinning her up against the wall. All these nightmares (memories) were piling up in her mind😕😡😕 just like the mountain of jalebi she was frying up. Beautiful, yummy jalebi, a delicate pastry fried up in oil and coated with a simple syrup'.not so when Kushi made them. They were made whenever she was worried, angry😡 or upset. She would make the batter and FLING it into the cloth and then frantically make her circular coils rapidly, vigorously and angrily. She wouldn't stop until her anger dissipated or she ran out of ingredients. Whichever came first and usually she ran out of ingredients. She would also eat them as she was cooking them. She loved jalebi it was her favorite dessert😛, although she enjoyed all sweets, but this one just made her happy😆. Funny how one dessert could affect a person in different ways.😡😆

TURN, TURN, TURN (arnav)

RM- Anjali and ASR in Chote's Room. Chote has his back turned to Di. He turns around and Di says, "Kya?What? How could you do that?" She questioned him like he was a little boy. She was stern and concerned. "How could you?" "Di, I didn't know!" 😳 He turns back. (In this scene, Arnav just kept turning his back, I believe he did it between 3-5x unable to face his Di and unable to face himself and what he has done). She continues, "Why do you bother her so much?" "I don't know why," he replies. She again reprimands him, she continues that he is the ruthless ASR😈 who puts up this front but she knows better she can see her brother's eyes and she can read his thoughts through them. He is worried she can see that, even if he denies it a million times. "Chote, we have been through a lot", she starts, he tries to turn away from her again but she won't let him. She holds on to his wrist, she is his support❤️. She is with him. "We have been hurt.💔" He looks hurt like that little boy. "We have been wronged. But it is in the past. Haven't I told you, not to let the past affect your future!" (We will hear this again at a later date!). He turns away again and tells her," I am not stuck in the past and I create my own destiny." She walks around to face him. "You have lost yourself on the way of creating your destiny. Why can't you show your feelings in your heart?👍🏼❤️ I know you are worried about Kushi. It has affected you."

He lifts his scarred hand, the hand that held her slight wrist so forcefully that it broke the bangle that injured both of them.😭 Their blood intermingled, their destinies intertwined, like a gypsy wedding bound for life. (Thanks, Sigrid, all credit to you for that). Yes, it HAS affected him.💔

"She could have died. How was she when you took her home?" "Unconscious", he said. "And now?" she asked. "I don't know."

"You need to find out, I'll call her home." She said "I don't care." He answered.

What a crock! That is like eating a mountain of jalebi with no sugar and no syrup. You just can't'if I said it was delicious, I would be lying just like him!!!😉

GH- Mountain of Jalebi con'td. Kushi is still in the kitchen making mountains of jalebi frantically working and eating😡. Buaji, Payal and Shyam watching. Shyam asks what is she doing and Payal answers that when Kushi is worried she makes jalebi. Buaji asks her if she is going to feed a wedding procession because there are so many jalebi there that they are overflowing, enough to feed a banquet. The phone rings. Payal goes to answer and Buaji is still worried about "the glutton". Shyam says not to worry he is here and he will take care of it. AGAIN! This man what doesn't he do?

Payal answers the phone to find Anjali on the other end all concerned. Payal wasn't very nice to her, asking her are they calling Kushi to work all night again and Anjali says 'no, I was worried and I am apologizing', Payal says Kushi is fine and hangs up. Buaji is like what is with that family 'one teases and hurts her and the other asks how she feels'.

Anjali tells ASR Payal is very upset and that sisters have to take care of their younger siblings especially when they are upset. Chote says , he 's not upset and didn't ask and Anjali says you don't have to ask your eyes do. (We all know how well Barun/ Arnac communicates with his eyes!!!). He looks down. "Don't worry, Kushi is OK." "I don't care." He replies. He walks away and Anjali smiles. He may not be able to eat that mountain of jalebi but Di certainly can!

Shyam asks Payal who called and she says Anjali. Shyam looks away. There is always a question in the air with Shyam when any of the Raizada's are mentioned or if any of their cars are in the neighborhood. Hmmm, fishy?😕

Buaji has called Kushi the Jalebi Machine and is still concerned because she hasn't stopped. She doesn't want to worry her parents and doesn't want Kushi to know that the Raizada's have called to worry her some more.

Shyam now enters the kitchen and does his smooth talking and for some reason he actually gets Kushi to stop making the jalebi with some of his philosophy. He suggest for her to forget the negative and think positive and see how good the jalebi actually taste! He hands her a jalebi and she tentatively takes it from his hands and eats it. (I almost feel like she is cheating on ASR).

Buaji says ,"I believe God has sent Shyam him for a purpose, like to master this crazy girl."👏

With the mountain of jalebi sitting on the counter, Payal takes Kushi to bed.

Shyam says to Buaji that he saw her so worried and that is the least I can do for this family. She blesses him.⭐️

RM- Nani, Anjali and Mami. Again the discussion of Lavanya and ASR. Mami thinks ,"Lavanya is better than Kushi, NO?" Nani knows what she has to do since Arnav is stubborn and once she makes a decision it is final. Uh, oh what is she up to? She leaves. Mami- the quiet before the storm!

GH- Payal is trying to put Kushi to sleep but she just can't. Everytime she closes her eyes she relives the guesthouse incident especially him holding her wrists.😳 She is visibly upset.😕😡 Payal is so concerned and says this is all her fault because she let her work. Kushi says she has a contract and Payal doesn't care about that she will not work there,😡 she was upset all day and Kushi doesn't want her parents to find out because they will worry. Kushi go to sleep!!!! No more making mountains of jalebi tonite!

Next day Buaji on the phone with papaji and she proceeds to tell him about the mountain of jalebi Kushi made, so he knew his daughter was worried, but everything is all right Shyam was there. He took care of everything, he handles Kushi and she won't go over his word. Thank God for Shyam⭐️, Buaji thinks. (we know better though)

RM- Akash asks his brother ASR didn't you sleep all night? Of course he didn't! His guilt kept him up all night he would have been better off putting himself into a diabetic coma eating the mountain of jalebi!😛

The brothers walk down the steps into the living room and lo and behold sits Nani, Mami and the priest with a family with a proposal for him! 🤢

Quick get the mountain of jalebi the wedding procession is here!😡

arshihamesha, hi 😳
at last i read 29. marvelous. your sacred car thought ois layered and deep and meaningful. these episodes so very densely conceived and fluid, teeming with meaning and omens and peeks into poast and future aren't they. this ia a deadly weak at ipk. wonderful recap of episode, beautifully detailed. thanks so much.

Yes Indeed these early epis have so much going on even I finish mine I can se where more thoughts could be poured but then as you know not everyone has that patience of reading that much so trying not to do that.In this epi Khushi was dreaming his SOFT side and was baffled about and that was something I would want to go on with her character and why she is like that and what is going on behind her SHELL but becoz our beloved CVs has destroyed her character so just leaving that IMAGE in my head of hers.WE all know ASR has dark side but KHushi has too but they showed us only OTT.Thnx for reading it😊

ha ha, cynthia, so how was your trip to the mountains? lovely take. mountain of jalebis indeed. in red my fave parts, but all of it fun and full of insights. i like that gypsy wedding thingie. loads of passion in that thought. and much later in that reverie of his, in his loose white shirt, wasn't he sort of gypsy? in these episodes khushi is really beautiful, wish they hadn't messed with her look and layered on the goop, fixed on that bump on the head. but right now, all is perfect, lau your thoughts. come let's go to the weddingwa.

Episode 28

Arnav manages to tame the tigress as he gripped her wrists tightly against the wall and directly looking into her eyes with countless emotions: anger, guilt, passion to name a few...

...*rabba ve* She also looks into his eyes as if she is trying to read them...

Then in his soft mellow husky voice "Maine kaha na, mujhe nahi pata tha ki yahan ki haalat ITNI kharab hai" he tries to clarify.

She looks down at his lips( hmmm) and back into his eyes like she believes him but remains silent. She tries to break free but his grip is too tight. She looks at him, visibly in pain but is unable or unwilling to say anything...

Then a drop of her tear and another tear fell on his hand making his heart hurt two-thousand times.

His gaze back on her, he realizes his grip is causing her pain. He immediately releases her hand and broken pieces of her chudi(bangle) fall out along with blood on her wrist.

Her wrist remains there pinned up, even without his grip (interesting). She is at ease and at peace when she looks back at him, almost like she trusts him... she lets her exhaustion catch up and closes her eyes..

"Khushi?" Arnav almost whispers with concern.

He keeps her from falling, and holds her delicate body up with in his arm and her head seems like a perfect fit for his palm. He tenderly looks at her face, so much tenderness as if his life depended on that face..

With immense care he moves the hair on her face and wipes her tears ever so gently like he'll break her face if he put any more force on it. if she is ever at the edge of his office again, ready to fall, he would NEVER EVER let her.

As he picks her up relief is on his face as he found her but also a certain uneasiness as he lost a piece of himself, his heart and is overwhelmed with this awareness...

the scene of him carrying her out in slow motion...haaaye! no words just speechless...

He pulls up to the GH, and takes a moment as she is leaning on him [this is symbolic as in their relationship she leans on him during her worst moments, like when her father is in the hospital, and when she finds out about Shyam, he is her rock...that starts here right now]. He doesn't want to let go of her, he takes is time getting her...

He puts her back on the seat and takes every chance he can to see that face...such sweeet sweet sweeet moments. how can the "kadva karela ASR" be so damn sweet? he's not even allowed sugar dammit!!!

He looks up at her humble home and then back at her, yes Arnav, she is much more than her "hesiyat"

Payal and Buaji both become hysterical when he walks in with their Khushi in such a condition. they bombard him questions but he more concern about getting her properly situated. "Iska kamra kahan hai?" (where is her room).

more questions but no answer, so he finds the room himself. More question as he gently lays her down on the bed taking extra care of her head.

He is too engulfed in Khushi to hear anything Payal or Buaji ask.

He is unable to stand up straight after getting her situated because she has a grip on his collar (yipppiii first collar grab!!!).

He looks back at her almost wishing she was conscious while doing this. and although he doesn't want to, he slowly take her hand off of his collar and puts it down gently. Still oblivious, Payal snaps him out of:

"Ek minute, aap hi hain na Arnav Singh Raizada?"

His silence was enough to answer her question

"haath mat lagaaye usse!" (don't touch her) she pushes him away and shields Khushi when he wants to carress Khushi's wound (awww)

"This is all your fault, you put her through so much just so she would give up and break the contract and surely you're the reason behind her condition right now too!"

Nothing to say in his defense, she puts him to shame...

Then she asks a million-dollar question: "Kya bigaada hai isne appka?" (oh payal where to start, she is in his head, in his house, in his chair without his permission, and she's turning him into a big softy and a hopeless lover and he doesn't like it one bit!)

"Jo bhi hai ab BAS hua, darwaza udar hai!"👏

Buaji's threat to Arvan LOL, ASR was not happy but stayed mum.

Standing ovations for Payal and Buaji!!!!!

While leaving he hears Shyam's name from Payal and stops for a second, but shakes it off... Shyaam hides himself from Arnav also... daal mein kuchh kaala hai!

Arnav is ready to leave but a glimpse of Khushi through the window stops his feet...more tender looks at her while she is being taken care of.

Looks deep, like it's going to leave a mark 😉. He takes a deep breath and makes his way to his SUV.

He was so engulfed with Khushi that he didn't even notice his own injury.

What do you know? she left a mark on him too...and she also left a little piece of herself behind...with him

👏 Another MAGICAL episode!!!!!

On a side note, if he be looking at me like thish...

me would faintyaing like thish too 😳

DROOL CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I could've included every frame this epi, he looked deviiine!!! )

Too many favs today but, this one of him steal a look at Khushi in front of Buaji and Payal (while being yelled at), as that wound is bugging the hell out of him!
