kiyu dard hai itna ter ishq mein

why there is too much pain in his love!

"you mean nothing" the afflictive words of Arnav caused a debacle in her heart. But he is incorrigible, no way he is not ready to accept that he is in love with khushi. isn't it surreal that a person can be so complex, so obdurate! but what is her fault? she was so happy for the past few days! the diwali also started with laughter and happiness, but why it ended like a devastating storm! she couldn't salvage anything to move on. First she got rejection from the man she loved for the very first time. then got victimized by the devil shyam and butchered by the inexorable buaji.

Khushi opens the door and on the door there is no other but Arnav. she is shocked to see him. He is also restless like her, so he came to see her again. He gives her the wallet back, "you left it in the car." When buaji sees him, she cordially invites him inside and as usual scolds Khushi to make him stand outside. Arnav changes his expression immediately, he refuses to get inside, but can't antagonize as buaji requested him ardentlty. Buaji introduces him with Garimaji. Garimaji humbly requests him to have sweets. But Khushi intervenes, "he can't have sweets." Arnav looks at her with a jolt, there is a question in his eyes,"mera itna fikar!" When Arnav sees babuji, he moves forward to greet him. he asks, how is his health. Amma answers, he is convalescing. Arnav tells them, "if you need anything just let me know."

(pause: what a nice gesture of him. It means he thinks Khushi's family is his own. then why you are denying that you love and care Khushi. how much prove you will show to the poor girl that she does faraq to you.)

Arnav bid bye and wishes them happy diwali. His gaze is still stuck at Khushi. Amma tells khushi to see him off. Arnav was rushing to his car when Khushi calls him "shukriya." Arnav stops, may be he is thinking "thanks for what". She takes a little time and tells him ,"for returning my wallet." Arnav got the excuse to protrude the issue, "apne cheesze yaha woha chorne ki tumhari adat hai. jaise tum tumhari payal mere pool side mei choda tha.tumhari payal mere pas thi iska koyi galad matlab math nikalna. e math sochna ke ek amir admi tumhari payal ko apne sine se lagakar baitha tha. Mujhe e sabki koi pharak nahi padta. It does means nothing.

translation: It's your habit to leave your stuff here and there. that's how you left your anklet by my pool side.your payal was with me, so don't misunderstand that a rich guy kept your payal close to his heart. it doesn't make any difference to me.

they look at each other sternly.

Khushi recollects how he put the payal around her ankle.

She repeats after him in abhorence, 'koi matlab nahi hai, it doesn't mean nothing!"

Arnav says scathingly

"shayad tumhare liye hoga. tum he to laga ki tumhari zindegi ban gayi, mere liye tumhari aur uss baat ki koi ahimyaat nahi hai.

translation: it may be important to you.you thought your life has set. there is no importance of you and that thing in my life.

pause: yeah sure, that's why you ran to her home to return her wallet and saying the words, she didn't even ask to know.

Arnav moves to her, what makes her step back. A scorching pain is burning her heart.

sad rabba vey intensifies her pain.t uhi bata mere maula starts in the BG.

Arnav huddles fast from their patio, gets in the car and bangs the door shut. Khushi jolts hearing the bang. He looks at him forlornly, can't understand the reason of his asperity.Tears start to roll down from her eyes.

She saunters slowly, holds a a column and slides down. Tears are coming out from her eyes involuntarily. Payal comes and asks whether Arnav gone or not. Khushi hides her tears from her and tries to act normal. payal notices the anklet on her foot, "where and when did you get it? why didn't you tell me?" the repercussion takes Khushi to the pool side scene, where Arnav put the payal and next his words, it doesn't mean anything. She answers with suppressed emotions in her voice, "uss bath ka koi matlab nahi hai.(it means nothing).

She runs inside her room.

Tuhi bata mere maula starts in the BG depicts the turbulent state of her mind. Excruciating pain has enveloped around her.

"na pass a sake naa door ja sake

pyaar inko khiche takrar inko roke."

she is crying incessantly.her pain is indecipherable.She is feeling she is completely mortified.

"iss pyar ko kya naam doon"

On the other side, Khushi's teary eyes reverberating in Arnav's mind.He stops the car and leans his head on the seat. he is in the turbulent ocean of pain. The divulge of guilty feelings is gnawing at his heart.

Shyam wants to go somewhere. but his mother like wife 🤣is insisting to go along with him. how the swindler can take her with him. he is going to accomplish his mission to get married Khushi. He calls someone and instructs to do all the arrangement. later we will know what arrangement he was talking about.

It seems like buaji will get her peace after taking Khushi's life. She is blabbering and screaming at Khushi, "sanka devi closed the door without agreeing for marriage. you can't get a good guy like shyam. " Buaji 's incessant pressure irks Payal too. she is a caring sister, she can see how vulnerable she is. She tries to make buaji understand. Amma also is trying to defend Khushi. But buaji is tenacious, she even starts to scold her pyaari payaliya. Honestly I am more pissed off on buaji than Shyam.

Buji's pyaare shyam comes at the spur of the moment. Buaji becomes delectable to see him, "shyam bahua you came! diwali was so dull without you."The devil feed her sweets. plz buaji marry Shyam and spare our innocent khushi.😡

Shyam came with his next plot. so he is in the process to implement it. he says buaji to check the light out. When buaji goes there, she hollers, "hai re nand kisore!" everybody rush out to see what's the matter. they sees Khushi and Shyam's name is written in a heart on the wall. so this is the arrangement what Shyam was talking about. Insidious Shyam concocted this to push the family to the edge.He is now on his next move. he screams and gathers the people. People might didn't notice it. but he is calling the people to defame khushi. I can't believe that a human being can be so heinous! including bua the rest of the family want to leave the matter. but the nefarious guy wants to let the people know about him and Khushi. The neighbors seem know nothing about shyam and Khushi. So obviously it's not their job, but evil Shyam's plan.😡

When the rest of the family was outside Shyam comes inside to manhandle babuji. First he gives him a mocking smile and says derisively,"If i would know who did this heinous act" he stops and twist his words,"to itna choti harkat bada kam kar jate he mausaji (sometimes some trivial thing matters to complete big thing.)" Babuji looks at him grimly. if he could he would smash his face. but poor guy unable to do or say anything.

Buaji gotta chance to lacerate Khushi. She bangs khushi's door makes her open it, "what happened buaji?" Buaji vehemently drags her out and shows her what is written on the wall. Amma is trying to stop her, "what is her fault?" I can see the difference between amma and bua. Payal also feeling bad. she also agrees her amma. But buaji has become relentless today. she has planned to slaughter the poor girl. she begins her tirade, "faisla na karne ki galti. apne amma-babujiko parwa na karne ki galti. tumhare babauji ki dil mei kya beeth rahi he iss bath ko na samajh ne ke galti.

Khsushi is in convulsion. Buaji is deranging her completely. she is repugnant what to do.

Pause: buaji, how cum you are so ungrateful! a young girl who is trying so hard to earn for the family, to make them happy, you are accusing her that she doesn't care her parents! Shyam is so important than your niece!

she is blaming khushi, "dekho tumhari mauno brat ki karan kitna badnami ho rahi hai.(see how disgrace we have to face because of your silence.there is no place left to hide our face.)

where back in the room Shyam is farcing a sweet in babuji's mouth, "diwali mubarak ho uncleji"😡😡😡 when bauji starts to gasp, shyam screams, "what happened uncleji?" hearing his scream all of them come inside to check. They get panicked. Buaji again puts the blame on Khushi. she starts her tumult,
because of you, your father is getting ill. moreover so much disgrace, people are mocking at us. what do you want to do? you just can't do a little thing for babuji. the whole family ruined because of you."

Khushi is ebbing in riot of emotions. she is tremulous in fear massaging her dad's leg.

Amma is feeling bad for the poor soul "why are you after her jiji?"But buaji is obdurate. she is still putting all the blame to khushi.Payal is also defending her baby sis.

Khushi can't bear buaji's tumult any more, she stands up and gives them her decision,"alright, i'm ready."

She recollects Arnav's words for the last time, "it doesn't mean anything."

Shyam is exulting his victory.he is giving a devilish smirk.

buaji wants to make sure again, 'so you are ready to marry shyam!"

Khushi beckons.

khushi took the decision by thinking of arnav. If Arnav wouldn't say those harsh words to her, she never would decide to marry Shyam.

But can she live without arnav?

How beautifully you have described one of the best episodes of IPK... Reading everyone's descriptions gives so much pleasure... The diwali episode turned out to be so painful. It is the most hear-breaking episode.

Ok I would like to share my take on Arnav's reaction to the almost kiss & his complex nature.

Arnav never committed to La. He just planned a live-in relationship with her, just GF-BF. He has clarified her that she can never become his wife. He has openly told her that he doesn't care for her. He never gave her any false promises. He was falling in love with Khushi. He knows this but doesn't know himself how much he loves her.

Remember Arnav told Shyam (when nani was looking for a bride for ASR) that he would never give someone so much importance/love in his life that living without that person becomes impossible (sorry I don't remember the exact lines. But he said something like that). That's what he said to Anjali also that if such a person comes then he would keep her away.

So this almost kiss was a warning to his uncontrolled emotions. He feared that he is becoming weak that he may not be able to live without Khushi. He feared to love her to that extent, but already he has. So he thought to marry la to stop his growing feelings for Khushi.

He was angry & jealous that khushi got engaged & he decided to get engaged to la. He didn't say no to la as he realized he cant live without khushi. At one point, he realized he was acting selfish & using la to make khushi jealous. He wanted to redeem his selfish acts & hence he broke up with la. He realized he cant live without khushi only after the ambulance incident.

This is my view upon Arnav's complex personality. Once again wonderful description dr' Keep up the good work'

I am just thinking of the red saree dominant in every frame. By the end of the evening, it's speaking a different language, of a bleeding heart, of a budding rose crushed, and of an underlying fire of hope never to cease. How these episodes have covered the entire spectrum of positive and negative emotions associated with the color red. What a night and the lady in red!

Episode 112-113: Heartbreak

Has a piece of mittai (sweet) ever tasted so bitter? LOVE THIS ONE

👏 super edit

The girl with the mega-sweet tooth swallows it like a bitter pill that it really is... She simply couldn't say no to Nani who was feeding her in celebration of Arnav's engagement announcement. The very announcement that in an instant made a billion pieces of her heart.

With his presence, he gave her dhak dhaks, he came when she needed his strong shoulder to lean on, she associated the word "pyaar"(Love) with him when she saw him everywhere, she felt the sitare(stars) from the sky with him nearby. He made her dream. And for the first time today he gave her a high like nothing she ever experienced before, and after that phone call came her first heartbreak, excruciating pain also something she's never experienced. She cried and cried as he watched through the big glass window.

So true he did give her the sweetest moment and then the most the most bitter one at the same day.

All she wanted to do was get out of there, in the background wishes still pouring in for the engagement announcement. unable to contain her tears she tries to run out of there, only to be stopped by La. "What happened to you, you're crying?" Khushi forces a smile and assures her they're tears of happiness. I feel La senses something, she asks twice if Khushi is happy for her. "I'm really happy" khushi assured before La hugs her. Arnav witnesses the embrace, he swallows hard knowing what heartbreak is hidden behind that smile. Poor girl doesn't even get to leave, she has to paste a smile on and hold back the tears

👏 that was way too painful for both of em.

Always good at hiding her pain and problems from her family, who gave her so much after her parents died, but for Khushi forcing a smile has never been harder than today. After Nani feeds her the sweet, she goes into her special mode that makes Arnav question "kis mitti ki bani hai yeh?" later on.She stretches that smile on her face, her voice to a forced high.

She was in agony

"badhaai ho! aapko apne naati ke liey bahu mil gayee...laaye OPji, aaj hum sab ka moo meetha karenge"

"Congratulations Naniji, you found a wife for your grandson...OPji, give it here, today i will sweeten everyone's mouth"

Maybe this is how she's dealt with pain since she was 8, self preservation mechanism perhaps...block it all out and pretend all is fine, eventually the mind will follow. Today the pain is unbearable. When she acts similarly after he reveals the reason for the forced marriage, again she is also incredibly hurt that he could think so low of her. This is how Khushi lives up to her name.

Good one Ami yes this is her self mechanism to block all the pain behind her smile but I always wanted her to come out of it but it took a while in her case and she was relying on her Devi Maya in the middle of night even after their acceptance of love Dammit

Arnav, puzzled with her OTT behavior but sure of one thing, she is hiding enormous amount of hurt underneath. She endures more of it when Anjali brings out the special halwa and tells Arnav that she made it, a harsh reminder of the love and care she put into it. She takes off in a haste insisting she would be ok going alone on this Diwali night, much to Arnav's concern.

While talks of the marriage and meeting La's family are initiated by Naniji, allArnav can think about is Khushi's safety. Even when shyaam comes to wish him, nothing registers till La repeates "mrs. and mr. raizada, wow i can't believe it" ... is it just sinking in what you've done ASR? Mamiji talks about fast mangni and super fast wedding suffocates him and he explodes...

"Enough of this non-sense everyone! i agreed to get married, I didn't say i'll get married tonight, so you ppl pleast stop setting the date for it and booking the honeymoon tickets" ...a bit much even for Chotey. Since Khushi started working there, the family had noticed a change in chotey, like forgiving and sparing JP when he spilled tea on him...he had just learned what forgiveness means.

Opposite of her his self mechanism to shut the pain is anger👏👏

He leaves, he has to make sure she's safe. koi ahemiyat nahi hai?...she has not importance huh?

Khushi on the middle of the road, almost disoriented painfully lives through those moments then his abrupt announcement, while her question play in his mind like a broken record. His signature screeching breaks startles her and bring her out of her thoughts, she's surprised to see him. She goes back into her special mode, with the smile back on, "Arrey what you doing here, you should be at h-"...he interrupts

"Sit in the car" he is certainly aint buying her act "mein ghar chhod doonga( i'll drop you home)" such a sense of care and resposnibility in his voice. He is her protector no matter what. She tells him that she'll go on her own, he tells her to "shut up and sit in the car." she obeys. after all that's happend,she obeys, is it because a part of herself understands him being here after all that's happened?

Love the description and the edit

The quiet tension in the car can be cut with a knife. Again going into her mode, leaving him even more perplexed when she wishes him and La. "i'm so happy to know that you and Lavanyaji are getting engaged...its a holiday and top of that such big news!" He still doesn't get her act but he sees right through it.

"toh tum khush ho? So you're happy?" in typical ASR tone

"arrey, i'm really happy, hum to yeh hi chahte the ki- (thisis what i want that-)"

"oh really? tum yeh hi chahti thi? (this is what you wanted?)"

I feel like he wants her to admit her true feeling even after he's crushed then to pieces. Why ASR why, you hurt her so she would hate you then why do you want her to still admit otherwise?? good question even she says yes which is impossible as she is his mirror image What is going to happen next nothing his attitude would remain same as nothing matters to him

"yes ofcourse, why are you asking like this ? you and La are getting engaged, what can be better than that? and it good that you'lre dropping me home, you must meet babuji and amma, they'll be so happy about this news too" her voice reaching that unnatural high again(Sanaya is brilliant here). he lets her finish her nonsense (seems that what he think of her act)

"thodi der pehle tum mujhse kucch pucch rahi thi (you were asking me something a bit ago)" ...so now he's ready to answer the question.

she denies it "hum kya pucch rahe the (What was i asking)?".

"apni payl ke baare mein" about your payal?

she laughs it off, "acchha woh? no that was nothing important, the important thing is whatever i came to do is done"

He interrupts her nonsense "toh tum apni payal ke baare mein nahi jaan na chahti (So you don't want to know about your payal?)?

She ignores his question and continues to talk about the wedding..."you two make a great couple." irritating him further. He slams the breaks "get out."... She looks at him "dekh kya rahi ho? i said get out!"

She realizes her home is here. That darn seatbelt again, he opens it for her and flings it, but when she tries to get out her saari pallu is stuck, on her facea as she tries to pry it open, she breaks down, the agony of detaching herself from a part of him. In the process, she drops her wallet. the seatbelt, the pallu, the wallet all working to keep them together.

She wouldn't keep her mask up anymore 👏

The wallet becomes her heart tonight. She leaves it with him, hey i felt the same she was clutching it as she was clutching his collar 👏 👏then he comes back to return it, fitting for tonight, later she will clutch it tightly to when the hurt becomes too much.

Even in this dark night, a glimpse of their love for each other, their one-ness shines through as Arnav is invited into the GH by Buaji and meets Khushi's parents for the first time...Khushi jumps to answer "Nahee amma, inhe meetha mana hai"(no amma, he's not allowed sweets) when Garima offers him sweets. they share a brief moments, quietly so much is said.

I found this moment so beautiful and touchy as he knows she made sweets for him "sugar free" and then the way she jumps in for his safety and concerns ,at this point there is nothing left but again he is too much sometimes.

Arnav can't stop being the husband type either. first he couldn't let her walk home alone and now he shows concern for her father like a jamaai (son-in-law) would. Khushi is also moved by this gesure. He takes off, Garima asks Khushi to go see him off.

"shukriya! (Thank you!)" i get the feeling she wants to thank him for the way he was with her babuji.

He stops, the music gets intense, and the anger on his face mounts

"for returningmy wallet" she finishes

He takes this oppurtunity to do what he was trying to do earlier. but her lack of cooperation left him irritated.

Iy sounds really sick the way he was behaving all night

"apni cheeze yaha, waha chhod ne aadat hai tumhari, jaise apni payal mere pool pe chodi thi...tumhari payal mere paas thi uska koi ghalad matlab nahin nikaalna, yeh mat soch na ki ek amir aadmi tumhari payal ko apen seene se laga kar baitha tha...mujhe iss sab se koi farq nahi padta, shaya tumhe padta hoga" shaking his head, "doesn't mean a thing

"leaving you stuff here and there is a habbit of yours, just like you left you payal on my pool, don't make anything of the fact that your payal was with me, don't think that a rich guy was holding it to his heart, all of this doesn't make any differenc to me, maybe it does to you, doesnt' mean a thing"

Very double meaning words...

Thats why he was pushing her to ask again about the payal, so he could tell her and emphasis how much she doesn't make a difference. clever as always, but he still didn't answer one question Khushi asked earlier. "Why didn't you return the payal earler, aaj kyu? why today?" Khushi is still trying to swollow his bitter words to ask him. even if she thought to ask him, does it really matter? he just told her "deosn't mean a thing"

"Koi matlab nahi hai? It didn't mean anything?" she asks as flashes of him putting the payal on and almost kissing her apear in her eyes.

Yes he never answered his questions in the Suv or now he was manipulating things so he can have his upperhand over the situation.

"shayad tumhare liye hoga, tumhe to laga hoga ki tumhari zindagi ban gayee" (maybe it had meaning for you, you proobably thought that you life is set), He knows she has deep feelings for him and uses them against her, also once again playing the gold digger card just to hurt her and push her away even more.

his takes a step of intemidation, in his eyes, pure determination, he hits the nail in the coffin

"mere liye uss baat ki ya tumhari koi ahemiyat nahi"

"For me, that moment, or you hold no importance"

"uss baat", that beautiful moment where he held her like she was his world, 👏 👏 ..where she was willing to let him change her world holds no importance? She holds no importance? this words were worse than daggers, she looks up to him displaying every ounce of hurt in her eyes that her heart just couldn't bear anymore. He saw it, he felt it but ASR was in command, he wouldn't dare show it. He leaves.

she sits there crying clutching her wallet, her heart when Payal comes. Khushi wipes away her tears. Normally she would even force a smile but that just can't be done right this minute. Payal asks where she found the anklet, to which a broken girl gives and honest answer.

"uss baat ka koi matlab nahin tha jiji ( that didn't mean anything jiji)"

She runs to her room, locking the door completely breaking down, letting out the excrutiating hurt while the words to "tu hi bata mere maula" fill the somber mood. In parelle scenes Arnav sees only the tears he has given her all night, it all becomes too much, he steps on the breaks, drops the ASR mask and closes his eyes, utter agony on his face too.

couldn't see her crying😭

Love these two edits

Things playout in Shyaams favor tonight. he plays a low dirty game and puts Khushi's honor as risk to gets his way. Then he uses her babuji and her love for him to manipulate some more. Buaji falls for it and unknowingly lends her hand to evil. Does he not resemble the devil with his pointy ears?

Ami that is wickedly cute and suits him too.👏👏👏 love this edit

Like a pressure cooker, she builds and builds the pressure on Khushi, there was not stopping Buaji after what happened.Garima and Payal tried to tame her, but she used Sashi's health, his happiness to lay a guilt trip. With Arnav's sharp words still fresh in her head, "mujhe iss sab se koi farq nahi padta, doesn't mean a thing" she finally gives in.

"Teek hai! hum...taiyaar hai"

"Fine, i'm...ready"

Everyone went still, even Buaji couldn't believe it, and her poor Babuji, not able to speak a word, but his devastation was in his eyes...if only she could see.

Shyaam give a victorious annoying smile.😡😡😡..because putting a girl's honor at risk and hurting the man she loves the most to manipulate a forced "yes" out her in marriage...its gotta be "love" right? right?...despicable!

Buaji confirms, "syaam babua se shaadi karne ke liye tum taiyaar ho (you're ready to marry Shyaam babua)?"

A light nod from Khushi...She certainly said yes because she cares about her father, but also because tonight her belief, faith in love was shattered.The belief that kept her from saying yes to Shyaam before, that made her instantly turn the proposal down again, the faith that made her disobey her family for the first time in her life...to her at this moment that faith, that belief ka "koi matlab nahi tha"...didn't mean a thing.

Yes if he wouldn't say yes she wouldn't settle for Scorpion either

DROOL CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!! (so need this after these two epis!)

❤️ Only if there was a way to jump into my screen and give him tight hug ❤️I wanted to hug both in this epi

episode 114

if he hadn't said "shadi kar raha hai," she wouldn't have said "theek hai" this evening.

absolutely

she stood there watching her father in agony, breaking up, then she let a dream go. this man meant more to her than anyone, and when the only other man that had mattered said she meant nothing to him, what was left to think about, dream about.

Without Arnav, her life life is valueless. So she can allow any one to play with it.

an obscene man had won the evening. perhaps because a man of conscience did what he never should have... run away scared. but we are not creatures of should and ought only, we are human, fragile in a million ways, often doing "how could you" things. and arnav singh raizada had done just that.

the repercussion of that doing was now on the two. in smartly designed parallel scenes their dear siblings try to find out if all is as it should be. and are the two happy. khush. anjali and payal are close to their younger ones, they can sense them often. something tells di and jiji that these two are not ok.

loving sisters always there for their baby siblings.

the decision was taken in haste... jaldbaazi. clever use of same words in both scenes. the writer is not taking sides. both his protagonists are feeling equally wretched. in their own way.

"kahin tumne yeh faisla jaldbaazi mein toh nahin liya na?" you didn't take this decision in haste, did you, asks di.

his mind flies to a girl with silken lips, curious excited eyes... how he still wants her.

how can't he, he fall in love with a girl for the first time.

he can't answer this question with his customary abruptness, he can't find words... not yet.

"chhote, hume batao... tum khush toh ho na?" chhotey, tell me, you are happy arent't you?

he swings away, not prepared to go there.

"of course, di." bad liar.

he can't lie, so he turned from her to avoid eye contact.

"main khush hoon." i am happy.

di is happy, prattles on about the dither when you decide on marriage, talk of jeejaji...

"chhotey, jab faisle dimaag se nahin dil se liye jaate hai na, toh sab accha hota hai." chhotey, when decisions are taken with the heart and not the head, then all goes well. poor girl. if indeed all decisions of the heart were so right would hers turn out to be so off the mark?

she is unfortunate.

maybe a comment on the importance of both dil and dimaag in life. asr has both. so does khushi. just that each thinks the other has one part missing. or maybe a comment on the inevitable... fate, destiny, call it what you like.

anjali had chosen shyam. and look what he did with her loving trusting heart. a situation full of the tragic element of life... here she is going on about how terribly happy she is with her man... and there he is getting engaged to another woman. later, he will use this very loving generous nature of hers to get money out of her to buy his engagement ring for khushi. digusting.

Shyam's act makes me spew.

and look at poor khushi's state. the only man she had ever loved as a woman loves a man, felt dhakdhak for, in just one evening, he'd taken her to bliss then thrown her into the abyss of the door slammed shut, the this means nothing, and now in a situation where she must consider others before herself, she is getting engaged to that man's beloved sister's husband.

then there's asr. mute, unable to explain his fears his pain, hurting everyone, khushi, la, nani, di with that utterly wrong spur of the moment decision.

can't agree more.

sometimes things just happen the way they happen, nothing seems to be able to stop it.

"tumne yeh faisla dil se liya hai na?" you've taken this decision from the heart, haven't you? payal asks khushi.

"batao na, khushi, hum tumse kuch pooch rahe hain, kya shyamji wohi insaan hain, jinke saath tum apni poori zindagi guzarne ke liye taiyaar ho?" tell me khushi, is shyam ji the one you want to spend your life with?

jiji, i have decided now, and did you see how happy everyone was. to her that matters most. to him too only his sis's happiness is of importance... but this time even that didn't figure.

"aur tum?" and you, payal persists.

"hum? humara toh naam hi khushi hai." me? after a painful pause and struggle within.. why my name is happiness. both lied beautifully, one even managed to smile and act cute.

She is an angel inside and out.

payal's continuing questions, are you sure? didn't rush into it, did you, etc., took khushi to the memories of the poolside, a man she had wanted to experience...and from a very young girl came a philosophical take on the evening's madness.

"kuch cheeze bas yoonhin ho jaati hai... bina soche... bina samjhe..."
some things happen just like that, without thinking or understanding...

payal is not listening, she goes on, but buaji wants an engagement quickly... are you ready?

engagement... and she hears him say, "main lavanya se shadi kar raha hoon..." i am marrying, lavanya.

his cheek rests on la's hair in her memory. but he's looking at her... he watches her as her tear falls. khushi remembers, face growing sadder, hurt, puzzled, bleeding within...

rabba vey.. and his most hurtful words cascade... ending in koi ahmiyat nahin... you're of no importance.

nothing matters only he matters.

"jo bhi hua hum use bhoolne ke liye taiyaar hain..." whatever has happened, i am ready to forget that, she answers payal.

i am prepared to forget... not i am prepared to marry. this marriage is just for her family, her babuji.. if only she knew the truth, she would possibly kill shyam with her bare hands

i wish if Arnav could see it!

payal has no idea what khushi is saying, of course.

"aur waise bhi ab hume wahan jan hi nahin hoga..." anyway, i am not going there any more.

what are you saying, khushi...?

she is going to start afresh.. and this is the best way... so that had really been her decision. a young girl... her inner energy for life, for tomorrow dictates a choice. no sad sack, pillar hugging and crying heroine she... naya daur... new phase. a modern contemporary streak in our desi girl.
like that idiot she loves. the one who is standing silent, feeling tortured within but determined to get the better of this hold on him she seems to have.

very well said.👏

"devi maiyya hain na, woh sab sambhal lenge. dm will take care of everything." how badly khushi needs her god now. when life feels particularly terrible, dark, hopeless, we turn to the eternal and say... this is all in your hands now... take me through... sambhaliye. some day, he will come back to do what was his duty... but for now there's dm. always.

a key drops out of a bag.

"zara suniye..." she remembers that day at the dargah...why were some meetings so unforgettable?

"aap ki mannat ki chabi gir gayi." your mannat key has fallen.

but he hadn't made a mannat. maybe the key had a mind of its own and decided that he needed something... someone?

"yeh kaisi chabi hai, parameswari," what sort of key is this, parameswari, asks her bua in her usual scold love way. you've kept it as though it's the key to a treasure.

ah, a treasure... khazana... more, actually.

khazana sure, only link left to meet her Arnavji again.

"kuch nahin buaji... " it's nothing, buaji.

then let it go..."phenk do isse." did she hear a cold, wintry voice say... "phenk do."

the payal has done its work. now it's key's turn
