Episode-184

Payal is woebegone, after all she is leaving her parents forever. Bua tries to assuage her, tells her to be happy. She suggest her to forget the bitter past of her broken alliance. Bua holds babuji's hand, tries to put it on Payal for his blessings. Mami interrupts their emotional moment. To sees Payal's clothes she remarks disdainfully that why they sent her with just a few clothes. Bua tries to defend them, but amma stops her immediately anticipating some quarrel. She shows her delight as the wedding is taking place grandly. Mami aggrandizes herself, that it was inevitable as it is Raizada family's wedding. Gupta family get crestfallen at her afflictive words.

NK brought green tea for Akash as he thinks he is haiwan (evil) pareshan. Akash mends him hairan (restless). But he is not restless. NK tries to say, he must be as he will have to take sixty circumambulations around the fire, then a pinch of vermillion and then it's end. Akash corrects him not sixty but seven. He is getting delectable, thinking of his marriage. But NK tries to frighten him. He thinks everything is going on too fast, first he will get married, then he will have kids who will call him uncle. Akash corrects him the kid will call Nk uncle and call him papa. Akash gets happier to think about his kids. And so as NK. He is saying him that he will have one boy and one girl. Akash gets scared thinking of the children. NK instigates his fear, the kids will have beautiful eyes like Payal. Akash gets completely eerie; he is getting married and will have children also. Nk is happy

Mere bhatije mujhe chachu chachu kahenge...My nephews will call him uncle!

Akash has become so scared that he really needs green tea now to release his stress.

Nani, mama, mami all are worried for Anjali as she didn't reach home yet. Mami asks nani whether she heard any bawl or sounds of collision while she last talked to her?. Nani is anticipating some peril.. Their favorite damatji also went somewhere, his phone is also not reachable. The devil damatji has gone to buy stuffs for the pooja. He is getting prepared for the funeral of Anjali. He wants to bid her bye well. But before that he wants to make Khushi of his own.

Dream devil. Only god can say who will die and who will live. To get Khushi is now your impossible dream, cause Khushi now belongs to Arnav only.

Khushi is frolicking. Inadvertently her face breaks into a smile, remembering the bindi moment. Thought of Arnav keeps her preoccupied since that. She sees that somebody wrote on the mirror, telling her to come to the terrace. Khushi recollects that Arnav wanted to talk to her alone. She thinks it must be Arnav who wrote that note on the mirror. Her hearts starts to pound relentlessly against her ribcage. She tries to stop her erratic heart beat, but no avail. She sees the note again on the mirror, tries to assume, what Arnav can tell her.

Aap mujhe kya kehena chahte hai Arnavji...what do you want to say Arnavji? Do you want to say what I'm thinking?

An extremely rosy color suffuses her cheek in anticipation. A frisson of excitement runs down her body. She smiles softly thinking of him.

Pause: How Khushi thought that ASR would write note with lip stick on the mirror! ASR can't do this type of cheap stuff. Whenever he feels to talk he tells her directly. Poor Khushi, couldn't get the sham of that devil Shyam. She got entrapped in his web.

Arnav comes to the hall to get to know what's the matter. Nani tells him that Anjali didn't come home yet and her phone is also not reachable. She tells him about the loud noise what she heard while she was talking to her. Anjali didn't even call her back after that. Arnav tries his driver's number, but he is also not reachable. But he gets a phone call from the police inspector, informs him that his car met an accident. All got aghast to hear about the accident. Arnav wants to talk to his di. But she is not there. He reminisces what Anjali told him few days ago about her not being by his side forever. He gets frightened in premonition and runs to get his di.

Shyam who was listening them furtively exults in joy,

Swaha,

Khushiji you wanted me to be single. Now I'm a sad widower.

He is watching the grief of the family and grimaces devilishly.

who can avert the destiny. I will miss Rani saheba, but I knows she also wants me to settle down again and be happy.

Arnav is scurrying fast to get to know about Anjali's whereabouts. But he doesn't have to go out; he stands inert at the threshold. Cause Anjali is back with bandage on her forehead and wrist.

Di, mujhe laga ki...I thought...he tells her in quivering voice.

He is in impediment, tears is welling up in his eyes. He touches her cheek gently, tries to feel her safe and sound. He takes her in an embrace; he can't let any harm happens to his sister. Anjali also cares her brother lovingly. She can feel his agony.

Aap theek ho na di?...are you alright di?

He asks her with lot of concern. Anjali tells him what happened when she was talking to nani on the phone. Mohan told her that the break was not working and the car collided. Armav doesn't even want to hear the horrible incident that happened with his beloved di. It reprimanded again that how much Arnav loves his di. He takes her in. Anjali tells Arnav that the driver was badly injured and her phone also broke, so she took him to the hospital. She is worried for him.

All are flabbergasted to see wounded Anjali. They run towards her. nani is crying to see her beloved grand daughter in pain. They take her to her room. Arnav calls the hospital to make sure that his driver gets the best treatment. Anjali looks back at her brother. She is relieved that the driver has been taken care of by her brother. She is such a good soul.

Pause.: as anjali told Arnav about the car's break thing, why he didn't ponder this? How he just let it go without investigating!.

Nani is dressing Anjali's wound. She is crying for her. naniji emoted her love for her orphan grand daughter so beautifully! Anjali asks about her devil husband. Mami tells her he must be busy with marriage preparations. Yeah he is sure busy with preparations, not of marriage but of Anjali's death. Anjali doesn't want him not to know about the accident. Sigh, I wish she would know that he is not only aware of the accident, but he himself concocted it. Anjali wants everybody to behave normally. She doesn't want anybody to know about her accident. She tells NK to accompany Akash and tells mama to take mami downstairs to attend the guests. She will join them soon. She affirms them, she is absolutely fine. So all should go down to join the wedding, as the auspicious time is getting over. All finally agrees to leave.

His head is down; Arnav is standing on the door of Anjali's room. He looks despondent, languid and his eyes are red with tears. He is unable to express his compunction what is gnawing at his heart now. He thinks he is not capable to protect his di. Anjali tells him that she is fine and calls him lovingly to come near. He lays his head on her lap and starts to cry like a small kid.

Di I'm so sorry

Anjali asks him why he is apologizing to her. he tells her ruefully,

Because for every time to talk to you rudely, for every time not listening to your words when you asked me to do something. plz don't ever leave me di like mom.

Barun was simply brilliant in the scene. He was just looking like a devastated young boy who was crying for his mother.

He is tremulous in fear to lose his di. He wants to muffle her from any harm. Anjali is caressing her brother's head and face lovingly. She is his mother and he is her chotey, who can do any thing for his mother like sister. This is surely the prelude of the upcoming storm of Arnav and Khushi's life.

Episode 180

Tick...Tick...

A worried man paces back and forth and his sister asks if he is okay. You see he doesn't usually attend these poojas without complaint. She tells him he should go and rest she won't mind but he says he is fine and will stay. Anjali walks away from Arnav with a smile on her face. He is waiting for her, the one he gave bangles to. Khushi comes down and he looks away not letting her see he is waiting for her. Her arms covered by her dupatta. He is straining to see and Khushi finally looks up at him and he quickly looks away. The pooja begins and he is straining to see beyond Khushi's dupatta bundled wrists. Is she wearing his gift?

Shyam notices that something is going on between Arnav and Khushi and his jealous self, looks annoyed.

Khushi also sees Arnav's curiosity and tightens her dupatta around her hands. There is no way that she will give him the satisfaction of knowing that she is wearing those bangles. Anjali is giving the offering and gives to Shyam and then to Chote. He has an idea; he takes the thali from Anjali and goes to Khusi to give her the offering. He stands there holding it out to her. His eyes boring into her; daring her to bare her wrists to him. She tries to take it with a covered hand and is scolded by Buaji. She finally shows him her adorned wrists and he places the offering in to her hand wih a satisfied smirkish grin on his face. My heart thumped a bit at this Rabba Ve moment, so cute. ❤️ He handed back the tray to Di. She continues giving everyone the offering and when she gets to Nani they are both snickering and smiling about the situation. Aakash asks his brother for the car keys to take Payal and her family home. His preoccupation with Khushi and his happiness upon seeing her wearing the same banges cannot be interrupted by a question so easily. He is proud that she is wearing his gift.

He turns to go and she asks him if he bought the bangles and he answers her as if he doesn't know what she is asking. She is determined to have him tell her the truth.

The family picture is being taken by NK and he keeps moving Khushi near Arnav. She decides to aggravate him and plays with her bangles.

NK comes up and apologizes for the bangles not fitting and asks where these bangles came from and her answer is Arnav and then she adds he doesn't even know where they came from. They must have fallen from the sky!

While packing up Anjali asks Khushi about the bangles while Arnav is talking with NK. She says they are very nice and Khushi answers they are unattractive and the wrong size. Arnav's eyes nearly fall out from his face. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Anjali is playing the game and egging Khushi on. So why not take them off? Khushi answers these useless bangles at least keep my wrists from being bare but the moment she gets home she will definitely remove them. Absolutely, Anjali agrees. She is looking at her brother and now she has thrown fuel on the fire. She asks Khushi to go to poolside and get something for her. Khushi agrees and then Anjali starts the countdown. She already knows her brother will follow.

"Tick, Tick 1...

Tick, Tick 2..."

He's off to poolside.

She laughs, now the real fun will begin!

Khushi is looking around for the platter when Arnav comes and asks her if she doesn't like the bangles why doesn't she throw them away.

She asks him why he likes bangles bought by someone else? Anyway they don't fit she says. He answers her, perfect fit.

With crossed arms, she tells him he has to answer her question because she won the bet at Sangeet. He crosses his arms in response and says ask him the question.

Buaji is looking for Khushi, NK says he will go look for her but Anjali says she sent her for work she will be back shortly and she looks at Nani. Nani understands. Anjali tells Payal that she is looking forward to having her come back to the house tomorrow as a family member. Aakash says he can't wait!

Arnav tells her to ask her question.

"Did you buy these bangles for me?"

"Haan, I bought those bangles for you."

Eyes go wide as if she is shocked. She releases her arms and asks softly, "Why?"

He takes a breath, there is no way he is answering her that question. He turns around to walk away. She runs after him. He turns back to tell her that according to the terms of their bet he only had to do one task and he has already answered her one question. If you don't like them take them off. She says she only said that so he would admit that he bought them. So wear them, he says. She says, she has!

Everything has changed. He sees his bangles, the bangles bought by him on her wrist.

The feeling awesome, overcome by his emotions of seeing his Khushi wear them so intimately, just beautiful. Maybe a little too intimate for them right now, they turn away from each other.

Meanwhile Mami is making a scene as always, not being nice to her future in laws and making them feel bad that the wedding is at the RM house instead of the bride's house. But wasn't it the Raizada's idea that the wedding be at the groom's house? Wasn't it she who would be embarrassed?

It's a terrible thing Mami. Mamaji tells the Guptas not to worry all will be well.

She quietly asks him, why did he buy bangles for her. He is looking at her. In his head I am sure he wants to scream out how much he really cares about her but something stops him. He answers he doesn't have to answer every question of hers because if he did she would know how much he cares for her.

She is angry with him but she holds and looks at those bangles with such feelings. Love is absolutely in the air!

He is rushing out from poolside only to bang into Shyam who has been spying on them.

Tick...Tick...Tick... the clock is ticking what will happen next?

ARSHI"S INDEX

EPISODE 181

Face to Face...

Realization of hidden fondness ,love , tenderness ,warmth , devotion , endearment ,caring and attachment is the main reflection of this epi which has a deep connection to the future.The war of Dil and Dimagh is merging today at one focal point on both sides.Arnav/ASR and Khushi found their way of heartbeat together at the same moment by motility of their inner desires...to be in each other's vicinity while being far... far away.Telepathy comes later with strong belief yet has been titillated today with its tiny yet tender steps within pure hearts...❤️

Arnav who is pacing with his dark fears while remaining in dark.The only thing is reflecting his convulsive and dreadful state in dim light...The paroxysm of the frenzy moment flashes in front of his eyes when he was running behind the ambulance while calling his life line...KHUSHI!!!

👏 yes, she was in a way his life line, his connection back to joy, animatedness, happiness. without which life is really mere existence.

A girl who makes no difference to him made the great Arnav Singh Raizada paralyzed at the moment where the whole universe got frozen for him..."Mujhe laga mein ne tumhain kho diya hai...What if I've lost you?" ...[I thought I lost you..].and that's exactly what Khushi asks him,"agar aisa huwa bhi hota tou apko iss se kya farak padta hai..."[What does it matter to you if it would happened even]

He gulps down this dark truth which is coming to the light now for him...love the way he goes back...from darkness to light on his face...Epi 7 Nani's words...stop and think...He is realizing that difference but as he steps back from this true realization being unable to face the reality and the depth of his love...as he is still hesitant...and needs a push which is coming in her Di's voice...

PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:On Dargah when Khushi in white and he in black avatar walking side by side of the Chadar...a Dupatta...a thin line of RESPECT...and he has to stop while Khushi's white Duppta touches his face...don't forget he also has covered his head with white...and he doesn't remove her Dupatta either...doesn't get angry but trails her all the way end...TODAY is the day where that Mannat ,Dua ,prayer is coming in reality.Khushi who is spreading her pure chandini...moonlight in his "amawas" dark life ...that day by touching his face and TODAY is flaring that light within ASR's heart...as Dimagh has to accept it...Dil has been surrendered the very first sight in Sheesh Mahal.She is his respect and he will bind that respect and will cherish it in hate or love no matter what.He never lets anyone outside the family disrespect her after marrying her forcefully..."Khushi meri patni hai..Raizada gharane ki bahu hai..."{Khushi is my wife ,DIL of Raizadas]..and later even family member were not allowed to touch or speak harshly with her..."mein ne kissi ko apni patni ko haath lagane ki ijazat nahin di hai..."..."Jahan meri patni nahin aa sakti mujhe nahin lagta wahan meri koi zaroorat hai.."[I did not give anyone touching my wife...I don't I have any need to be there where my wife can't come]

Arnav closes his eyes with the brimming reality and that takes him with the past with the jolt which his Di tried to make him realize "Dekhna jiss Din who Ladki tumhari zindagi mein who ladki ayeigi na..jiske bina tumhari dadkane ruk jaeingi...jisske bina tum ji nahin paogey.. tumhain aisa lagega jaisey who tumhain na mili tou tumhari sansain hi ruk jaiengi...

Translation:Just wait and watch..one day a girl will come in your life without whom your heartbeat will stop..it will be hard to live without her and you will not be able to breath ... Di's words are making him face this truth...that indeed he couldn't breath in those moments with the fear of losing her...

PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:That day He was standing under the stars along with her as parents and divine forces were making ways for these souls to come close...and today again he is by the window facing stars and she as usual taking to her parents before sleeping...as all the divine forces along with parents are happy to see these souls happy...

A perturbed and restless ASR walks towards the window where he faces his true reflection...light towards his golden heart of Arnav which ASR always avoids to peep in...Brain and heart is joining today as brain is detecting the heartbeat..really proof of vitality within him and it's vital reason.It's emoting all the tender ,caring , and loving desires with its integral and intrinsic REASON which is important for the survival of both ASR and Arnav...and both whisper that reason...KHUSHI!!!...with one solid voice...

PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:There are only two spots where ASR really reflects his own actions and looks back...One now and second when he realizes how his hasty actions has made khushi go throw hell..Today he is meeting with his dual nature to merge at one focal point ..KHUSHI and that day he will be facing again dual nature of him for KHUSHI..but today is realization and acceptance to embrace his love and that day is realization and redemption of his actions towards his love.BUT one thing is done so beautifully and that is the merge of ASR and Arnav...They will always be intact together in case of Khushi...He will be Arnav dominating ASR for his Khushi...reverse role in all time...

That solid loud voice of his reason reaches to his other half who holds her throbbing heart tightly with the hand which has "His Name" and the bangles which are binding her with him...meaning he is listening her heartbeat...and today from here, she is starting her journey towards realization...how he was worried and concern about her but why?.."woh ghussa kyuon thay.."[Why was he angry?]...She is trying to put two and two together regardless the signatured feelings confirming this thought but still non registered echoes still reverberating the mix sounds around here to distinguish the facts.

She is unable to decode this fact that great mighty ASR gave him bangles...and that thought evokes a hidden sweet smile on her face...and she touches those bangles with her most inner desires imagining as she is caressing his face...Sweet smile changes into enchanted tinkling one along with the bangles sound as his name is awakening an immense joy in her and spreading in her fragile visage...She is sharing her happiness with the stars and he is sharing his merging elation with em too...

Symbolism and connections:Love the moment when Khushi is coming towards the light and he calls her name right after...She is as one stormy night she was trying to find the reason of her DhakDhak "Arnavji" and today she is finding Why is he the reason ?

beautifully interpreted and observed... thanks. 😳

When He calls out Khushi,Khushi's face is half covered with Dupatta ,as she is his protector and his family...ans she is wearing jewelry given by him for him...4^th phera of the seven Pheras... [To protect the whereabouts of the family and the commitment among two souls and bride always dress up for her hubby...Mehndi...Choori..and all] ...First three Pheras were done during Havan...regardless Arnav didn't do pooja but he didn't leave either...

The marriage preparations are at the peak while Anjali remembers the Shagun and bridal outfit to be taken to Gupta's house on time.Again two beautiful are going to face to face for this "yudh" [fight] but this time The King takes out his sword first"mein bhi ussi tarah ja rah hoon..." to vanquish the ravan of his Love Lanka...Honestly I just love him here...so cute...

But he is totally unaware of lurking Basilisk's intentions...who is making his circles narrower to squeeze the souls of innocents.

He is loosening the nuts of car so it can keep running to take Rani Sahiba's life.What a nut case he is?

PAUSE HERE:I salute CV's for this as he indeed loosen up the last nails of Arnav's heart through Anjali and of course Shyam our Cupid did it as always...AFTER seeing and listening Anjali to realize why is he holding himself for so long and not loosening up.He decides to tell Khushi "why does she matter to him?"

Symbolism and connections:Anjali's and Shyam's reflections together and in opposite emotions the very same way on the day when He was taking the money from the woman and Anjali suspected something and today is the same thing.That day he was scared and today Anjali has that...She kept herself unaware and again is going to do the same ...

Arnav comes to Gupta's house with Payal's bridal outfit which brings smiles at house ladies.My grabber is Buaji calls him "Nand Kishore aiey gaye..."[Nanda Kishore has come..]...Indeed He is the chosen one ...who is the protector and the Horus of All...

PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:He is the one and the only one protector who came one night with money to take his Khushi back for his Di..Anjali...and today he is here for his Khushi but for him yet unintentionally Anjali will be the reason...

The eyes of the King is only searching for his queen who is no where to be found.The disappointed heart and thirsty eyes were ready to leave when Krishna finds the location of his Radha.The glimpse of his queen spreads a peaceful smile on his face.The queen is busy with her relishing food and cooks.The moment Khushi comes closer to place the disposable plates.His presence pumps out of her heart.She clutches her heart with closed eyes as she never want to let go of him.He watches her with proud knowing his effect on her.Her eyes locates her desirous man which spreads smile on his face .

This is the first time when both smile at each other with springing love and affection.My grabber is they both are walking in the same direction just like in Durgah and in temple after bandagement.The only difference is this time their gazes are fixed at each other despite the fact they have distance in between em.From now on they will always be keeping an eye on each other no matter what. They will be in the vicinity of each other no matter how much distance they have in between em.In Durgah they were walking parallel, in Temple they were walking parallel and here again but with acceptance of each other.In Durgah...he gave her the key of his heart ...the shagun,In temple he bound her with him by Roca...and today he is stepping ahead accepting her as his other half and they both finished their loving journey with desirous and longing eyes at each other.

They are so lost in each other's eyes . Both couldn't take their eyes off from each other for a single moment. Both of them seem lost in the world of ebulliance. Cow's mooing gets Khushi back from her Arnav Land Where she discovers that she was feeding the cow with "patals"[leaf plates.]... Oh god what I just did.

She is miffed at her carelessness. She accuses Arnav,"Sab apki ghalati hai.."[It's all your fault..]Arnav steps down to her,"Excuse me. You fed the leafs to the cow, then how it is my fault?"...Impulsive Khushi without thinking,"par dhiyan tou..."[But my focus was...]That makes Khushi out of words with quivering lips. Khushi diverts herself thinking about the half chewed plates and guests but a softly persistent Arnav comes towards her and inquires her again ,"Khushi tum ne bataeya nahin meri kya Ghalati hai"[You didn't tell me what is my fault?]..Khushi begins to get upset and bewildered. seeing the gathering agitation, Arnav calms her down seeing her disquiet.He is there as always to take her out of her distress even if he has to buy the "patals " for the whole city.He is true King to his queen...My grabber is Arnav comes down from the corridor steps and stands at her level to help her as from now on he will always be there whether in hate or love...but Khushi will remain his first priority as always.

Pause Here:His Di is the one who will make him realize later helping him meeting this side which he is totally unaware of unintentionally right after when Khushi takes care of him the whole night.

He said RELAX twice...today...instead of Tum Theek Ho...and that is the indication towards that realization...

MOMENT OF THE DAY

hello ami,

where i come from, bengal, krittibas's ramayan presents ram, at least in the version i have heard, as a human being, a fine hero character in the human realm... even if he is an avatar, in bengal as far as i know, there is no worship of ram... it's at his behest shakti in the form of durga descends to earth when she is not supposed to and helps him fight ravan. subtlety here: ram is kshatriya and not learned enough to invoke shakti, his purohit is ravan the knowledgeable one, who brings durga down so ram may slay him. oh there's beauty there and mystery. but popular versions make eveything so flat and black and white. i have heard the original valmiki ramayan, very few versions of which exist, if at all, was far more earthy with a much more fiesty sita... seems interesting.

ram is the ultimate prince, man, etc., but even as a kid, that sita being sent away to the forests and then asked to give agni pariksha, uh huh that did it as far as i am concerned.

the world hasn't treated women well for the longest time and we have perhaps just started accepting this as the norm. daily war is not possible i guess. but certain things i can't deal with and i won't. sita, draupadi, even surpanakha, amba, ambika, ambalika, kunti, gandhari, kaikeyi, kaushalya, chitrangada, where is fairness to woman?... (mahabharat is more subtle, in fact i am so keenly looking for a way to do a weekly chapter reading of the epic and do on a forum exactly what we do with ipk.)

and so it is that the whole family breaks upon khushi demanding an answer... even nani ji. she is okay with chhotey being the way he is, what to do, but khushi?!!! how could you? and what of bua ji... you prove again you're not of our blood. what is this? amma slaps her? really. no one wants to know what made her do it... was she in trouble. only payal perhaps, the next day... this is khushi who does anything and everything for everyone... doesn't her character count for anything?

asr loved her and that emotion coloured his judgment. but what about the rest.

sad, na?

no one messes with chhotey because they daren't.

khushi must be the keeper of faith and tradition.

why?

but for all this i could not blame asr... he never adhered to these ideas. he is truly a man of the times. a bit paternalistic, definitely overbearing, but completely comfortable with the idea of women and men being the same in an essential way.

to me asr was never ram. he had shades of archetypes, including the flaw that greek writers and shakespeare pondered in their hero characters, the tragic ones.

but to me he was more than that.

he is, in fact. he is real, here, flesh and blood and my world could do with more people like that... man woman whatever. he honours women. hugely. he never expects women to be less or different. he never even expected his girl friend or wife to change anything about them for him. above all, when he realised his father was wrong, and the way his uncle treated them, he refused his father's name, a big thing in patriarchal societies which means more than half the planet, and took his mother's name. he is an individualist who doesn't follow a group's thinking, but he takes responsibility and loves them the best he can. what's more he is broad minded, never stands in anyone's way to practice as they please. he has his own moral and ethical yard stick and lives by that. he is called atheist because he says he does not believe in an idol who is bhagwan, claiming he makes his own destiny. shocking in a largely theistic world. yet look at his conscience, his understanding of right and wrong and how he acts. better than many pooja doing people.

and such a keen mind.

a big love for those he does love.

and that himmat.

an essential innocence.

and the cleanest heart and being.

yes, he may say what he wishes to her but dare anyone else belittle her.

only when it comes to mami, for reasons of fam he refrains from admonishment but you can see he is dying to shut her up.

about khushi and shyam... i believe three things really hurt him and threw his world into a claustrophobic storm. first was perhaps a spectre from the past... a woman breaking up his beloved di's marriage, like his maa's. second rose from that was to do with his sister's happiness... and third: it just broke him to pieces to see the girl of his heart, his dhadkan, in the arms of another man. he couldn't bear to have her taken away like that. what if khushi actually loved this shyam? can you imagine his hurt? after years of no faraq he is standing at the doorway to a dream, tentatively having opened it... now this.

it was never about sexual morality... he didn't expect her to be a vestal virgin while he was free to have a live in girlfriend. it was about emotions. i loved the fact that he accepted her not because he was sure she had not played around with shyam... even straight after the terrace scene he was always concerned for her... oh the aircon off scene. this while he thinks she did indeed have an affair.

hmmm lots to chat about... we must do something about the pace of thread...

...a flying thought

While she sobbed helplessly, her dupatta fluttered to him, tickling his face as it always does. This part of her attire, a part of her has always seemed to know the heart of gold behind the cold/hard steel of a man hasn't it? Since the darga, it longs for him, countless times it has flirted with him and on the other end how he enjoyed these encounters with it...

Even on this dark night where he has done something so wrong, her dupatta reaches out to him, still believing in him, feeling for him...at the sometime carrying Khushi's pain and maybe even trying to tell him the truth, "im yours, only yours...no need for all of this"

...but he who is suffering from a great deal of pain, is consumed by his second nature trait...his gussa (anger), rejects the plea by the flying drape.

... almost strangling it for his blossoming heart had endured a similar outcome...what a sad heart-wrenching moment.
