Episode 41
The mandir is crowded today, Puja/aarti is in progression. Two hearts in this crowd only see each other. In all the noise, they hear each other loud and clear, their constant magnetic force towards each other is heart stopping yet so subtle meant to be a secret just between the two. We can feel both hearts aflutter, with a dose of confustion added in...
Arnav slowly steps up beside Khushi to do aarti due to Anjali's insistance. The most loving look in his eyes for her, he looks down at the thaal
He takes a hold of both the thaal and her hands, causing a spark (zor ka jatka) felt to the core by both...☺️
Khushi, a bit taken back by his "batameezi" as his face reads it was intentional, quickly removes her hands and steps back but no control of her own eyes, they only seek him.
A normally devout gal to her God, had some trouble concentrating today, her mind and eyes kept defaulting to him...
[Aarti is usually performed together by couples as they are considered one in Gods eyes, here they both hold the aarti thaal together, just for a moment hinting to the future...]
Arnav passes the aarti to La, no hand holding here, just a quick pass with one hand and his head automatically turns to Khushi, and she almost waiting for him to do so returns his looks.
The song brings these words "ek dooje ke bandhan mein band gaye hai aise(we are binded by eachother)" these two sneaking look from sides of their eyes like...so cute
The aarti ends and the pull between the two loosens...just a bit as Arnav make his way to back of the mandir. A heartbroken Anjali looks around with envy as fasts are broken. one can't help but be elated as Khushi gets to eat, yay!!!
Lavanya finds Arnav, asking him to break this fast. He was going to break her fast because Di told him to, but before he had a chance, she hands him the sweet, grabs his hand and feeds herself, kind of cute, but does that count?
While La indulged in her sweet, Khushi in the back froze, almost pale, overcome with an unknown emotion to her, she looked as she wanted to cry...as she tried to come to terms with this feeling,
La asks Arnav "are you happy i kept this fast for you?"
Somewhere he feels bad because he knows she is more vested than he...so he tries to let her know with out breaking her heart "you know i don't believe in this stuff, tum ye bewaja.."
"Bewaja nahi ASR (its not without reason)!" she cuts him off "i like doing it for you" Arnav stay mum, doesn't want to break her hear, what a softy inside ❤️
La notices Khushi standing on their right, she had noticed how he took the aarti thaal from her, so what a perfect opportunity to mark her man she thought and plants a kiss on ASR's cheek.
Also aware of Khushi, instinctively he turns straight for her and found her with that emotion on her face staring right back at him
...she musters up some courage, and looks away, taking a moment then frantically tries to light her match...all the while him watching her every second ...all of it...
"love you ASR" La brings his attention back back to her, "i better go, getting late" with Arnavs nod she leaves
and Arnav tries to make sense of Khushi's expression again. She looks back at him and i swear i hear him asking
"What happened? are you ok?"
she answers "nothing" and looks down
he is not convinced...
La give her a not- so-pleasant look before leaving...understandably. Khushi and Paya say their byes to Anjali and walks towards their exit...Akaash and Payal look at eachother with a soft look. Akaash was not ready to say bye to his future love, and neither was his brother. Every step she took, he watch, so lovingly, she tried to not be so obvious but uncontrollably she had to turn around and look at his one last time...DHAK DHAK DHAK DHAK (silent ones for now)
Arnav and the rest of the family try to advise Anjali to eat something while she waits for her husband. Stubborn at times like her brother "aaj hum kisi ki baat nahi sunenge, not listening to anyone today, i have full faith in my God and my husband and i'll continue the puja till he gets here"
She looks back to God, the wind starts to blow,a conch sound and music adding to the drama, indicating something big is about to happen. she makes her way back to God picking up the candles and continues her prayers, the whole family surrounding her and all of them a bit heartbroken for their beloved daughter.
A dark shadow emerges in the back, Anjali feels it and turns to find her husband. unable to control her smiling tears. He is here, he is FINALLY here.
After showing her gratitude to God for bringing him, she walks to him as fast as her one good leg would allow. "I knew you would come" she tells him, we hear his voice "phir bhi aap phone kar ke poochh ti hai? hum aapka bharosa kaise tod sakte Raani Sahiba (how can i break you trust, Raani Sahiba)"*que dramtic music *gasp! I KNEW IT!!!!*
Its revealed the Anjali's husband is none other that Shyaam babua, explains his weird behavior when the Raizadas were mentioned, he turns out to be a dark shadow indeed. The rest of the family smiles at Anjali's happiness and gather around. Before long, she notices his crutch "Yeh kaise hua?(how did this happen)" she asks. "Jijaji, aap baith jaaiye" Arnav insists. this show his concern for the man that keeps his Di so happy. IMO After Anjali, Arnav is the biggest victim of Shyaam deciet. Shyam took so much from the two women that mean EVERYTHING to him.
Arnvs smirks seeing his sis so happy!!! amazing little details
"no big deal saale sahaab, it was a tiny accident, will tell you when we get home, for now the first think i want to do is open my Raani Saaheba's vrat" everyone in awe of his love for his wife.."Raani Sahhiba, aapki hasi ki tarah aapke aansoo bhi kimti hai, inhe apne paas sambhaal ke rakhen, yu inhe girne mat dijiye (your tears are just as priceless as you smile, keep them safe)."
He sure knows how to talk and is obviously a master of deceit. Every good story needs a villain, it remains to be seen if he is our villain or just a guy who made a "ghalati, jo chahne par bhi sudhari nahi jaati (mistake that can't be fixed)" , but one thing is certain, this story got a whole lot interesting!
"bhaiyaa ji, rukiye!" Khushi stops her rickshow the second she realises she forgot her thaal. Understandably, she was very destracted today from the second she walked into that mandir to the second she walked out, but she blamed it on her hunger "bhookh insaan ko kya kya karva deta ha, hai na?"
The episode ends Khushi's horrid look while Shyaam breaks Anjali's fast inside...did she see him?
Makers brilliantly give us a preview of the future in the first 3 minutes:
-Teej, sindoor, fast breaking, and now holding Aarti together in front of God, all pointing towards Arnav and Khushi's union in the future
-Arnav doesn't stay with La in the front, he steps back with attention and eyes completely on Khushi
-Khushi steps aside when Arnav comes to console Anjali, not wanting to come b/w the brother and sister.
-Akaash and Payal celebrating Teej together as they are also meant-to-be
-Maami's looks at Payal with disgust when Payal is performing her aarti, foresight into her nasty behavior with future her daughter-in-law.
