Poona, responses in blue.



One of your best ones poona. I love the way you brought out emotions in both of them. This episode has always intrigued me.

will write why in my next post since i want to address something that both you and Arshi wrote.

@ arshi, poona,

Here are my thoughts on his question, and her answer. As I mentioned in my earlier post, this episode has always intrigued me. It is also the first episode where they had any sort of a sane 2-way conversation 😊

He asks "Kya woh hamen dekh kar khush hai?"

What did Arnav actually mean here? Did he want to know if his mom was happy with the way his life was, the way he was, or was he referring to the two of them? Or was it both?

In my opinion, it was probably both. A very deep and profound question about his being. A life that was simply incomplete without Khushi, though he still hadn't acknowledged it. But at this time his guards were completely down.

Would love to know what you guys think about this question of his.

She doesn't answer. She doesn't want to say no, and she cannot say yes. She looks at him with sadness, but silently passing on her strength to him.

Her unsaid words - Mom is not happy because you are not happy. You are not at peace. But the very fact that you asked this question means that all is not lost. This shall also change. You will find happiness.

She gave him strength with the words she spoke and carefully nurtured hope with the words she didn't.

You could see a man at peace while she walked away. Mom was probably smiling at the mask slowly slipping away...

Bidz, lovely thoughts.. but I don't think so. I seem to be in minority here as by that "humain dekh kar" line I don't think he meant to refer to both of them as couple.. not just yet! I remember this line was shown as the precap that time the day before "kya woh humain dekh kar khush hain" and his turning head towards her.. we were all jumping up and down that he kind of confessed without us knowing the full context of that scene.. but leaving that nostalgia aside,

I think at first he said "humain" to refer to both of them as independent son/ daughter to their respective mothers.. becos he knew Khushi always believed her mother to be one among the stars, and so must be communicating with her in her own way... so he thought Khushi must knew by now how her mother felt about her... but since he subconsciously acknowledges Khushi to be a better person than him, there is NO need to worry for khushi if her mother would be happy or not with her today.. where as he is certain that his mother will NOT be happy with him.. so first he refers as "humain" as they both being the orphan kids to their dead parents.. then separates him self "kya meri maa mujhe dekh kar" as he feels he is different/ imperfect where as she is not... .

And, Khushi's answer an implicit "NO", doesn't hurt him, as he himself knows it, and he is rather at peace to communicate that imperfection with her .. and she SEES that STRUGGLE in him between that Shaitan and Raj kumar first hand... she could almost read him saying "I know what I did to you is wrong.. but I can't help it.. thats just me".. and remains the reason why she is able to forgive this man.. as she ALWAYS SAW THAT STRONG CONSCIENCE in him as she said later "hume patha hai hamari har ek aansoo aap dil ko hazar bar thes pahunchata hai"..

Intriguing scene indeed with many possible meanings..

But yes the underlying fact about it is, they both seek each other, and ONLY each other in their times of distress.

Episode 122

Toh kya voh sacch mein taray baan jatay hai ...

His Di had taken out their Mama's kangan's from the locker. They both could still distinctly hear the clink on her wrists as she had put them to sleep. Di had tearfully read the letter Mama had written to her daughter in law.

Mom knows her Akhdoo has the most beautiful heart...more than Gold

His Mama's Bahu ... Does he think of the girl he has spent all day not talking to. His Mama had cautioned her about the gussa that lives on his nose and had disclosed another secret ... The Pyar that lives in his heart. She had lovingly instructed, Gussa bardast karna, aur Pyar sud samet lotana ...

That was her guidance which is taking him to the right direction.He knows by heart and it's a human nature too , a human being knows when he or she is at fault but trying avoiding it.

Gussa bardast karna ... His heart had bubbled in agony at the thought ... Because that is what she has been doing since the day she has come into his life. Even though he knows, his gussa terrifies her, she battles with it fiercely, she parries it skillfully, she holds it at bay cautiously, she giggles at it cheekily ... she obliterates it easily ... Always terrified, but always entangled, never has she let it scare her away.

That is our Khushi...fiesty and spunky as I said before ..Darti hai par karti hai..she has guts to go against him , no one can.AND he lets her...

Di had looked at him and wondered what Mama would think of him, if she saw him now today ... Not an awkward, restive adolescent, but her six foot tall, confident, successful, handsome brother ... He had cut her short ... Pehchan nahi pati mujeh. His eyes bloodshot, his throat aching with his unshed tears, he had stalked out.

He said that with hurt , as he knows his mom will see him arrogant colorless and without nice smell[reputation] as he is known as an arrogant tycoon...and hw can a mom be happy when her son is not... as that is the biggest reason he had Mom's garden...her ROSES and the fragrance of which is still keeping ARnav alive within him...and who became owner of that rose from that garden ..KHUSHI but it's today..where the foundation has been planted ...Humanin daikh keh as her parents and mine..are they happy...yes they are...but Khushi can't give him YES because she got from him the biggest set back and she doesn't want another one...Diwali night has broken this girl , shattered her completely but she is a courageous girl and standing on her feet.She is not going to let him and she didn't till he opened up on Payesh and then AGAIN terrace...

He had run straight into her. She is stunned to see the raw pain seeping through his eyes. He had averted his eyes, hooding them and had walked off, not wanting to reveal any more.

Ipoona you think he averted his eyes...because I think he actually deliberately let her peek in him an she did , then he moved away...

She finds him, a short while later, standing still, his hands in his pockets, his head tilted skyward, staring at the brightly lit night sky. Her heart goes out to him. She feels his loss, his loneliness, his desolation. It mirrors the one in her own heart, the one she has learned to soothe. She moves silently behind him, not wanting to disturb him. She had expected him to ignore her, as he has been trying to do all day. Instead, his back to her, he asks her, Toh kya voh sach mein taray ban jantay hai ?

This is a start of their new relationship where all rituals will be done symbolically...sorry as some ppl don't believe in it...it doesn't mean those were not there...

A breakthrough ... A turning point ... The story of our Khushi and Arnav turns to gently face a path that leads to his healing. He had rejected her offer of an aid just this afternoon. Now he is ready. She does not prompt him, she does not lead him, he seeks her. A man who hides the worst of his despair even from his closest confidant, his Di, seeks her, a kindred wounded spirit. He knows without a doubt, if anyone is capable of unlocking this knot in his chest, it is she ...

He knows it as the KEY is back to him...she doesn't need it any more...she is just baffled about his decisions and actions but KEY of all of this is in his fist

A day where words were prohibited, spoken language was gagged ... A conversation. Their first ever. No contemptuous rejections, no feigned detachment, no snide barbs, no unwarranted accusations, no invigorating challenges, no clever gimmicks, no frivolous shenanigans ... He asks,She answers ...

A faithless, godless, unapologetically irreverent, unreservedly cynical man, asks her, Is his dead mother one of the stars shining in the sky ? As ridiculous, as illogical, as farfetched a question as any he has scoffed at numerous times before. Yet he asks. He longs to have what she has ... A faith ... A belief ... A fairytale ...

Not a question really, but a quest for fellowship ... Take me into your fold ... Show me what you see ... Make me believe ... A restrained a quiet plea ... Release me from my prison ... Lead me out of here ...

She knows what he seeks. She gives it to him. She shows him a path to go there. Baat sacch ya jhoot ki nahin hai ... Baat yakeen ki hai ...

That's the point, he knows it and that truth is scaring him , holding him back but he can't run away either.

Yakeen ... A word that demands no proof, that requires no validation, that seeks no reason ... All it requires is an honest acceptance ... An unquestioned submission ... A blind agreement...👏👏👏

The same thing happened during Terrace..scene his lack of belief made him go for a hasty decision but that was the biggest and beautiful decision he ever made...

She steps up to be by his side. She points to the stars and introduces him to her Amma and Babuji. She tells him of her belief that they twinkle because they see her ... Aur ... He interrupts her, stuttering, as though he cannot wait a moment longer to hear the answer to his next question ... A question that eats at his heart ... Kya voh humay dekh kar khush hai ... Kya meri M...Ma mujeh dekh kar khush hai ?😊

He knows his mother is not happy as he is not what she was seeking in him...Kanton keh saath Ghulab...this is another reason...he knows he is punishing a rose because of his thorns spread in his life...but he will understand it latter..

He knows the answer. He has just told his Di, his Mama would not know him. He has lost the boy that was his Mama's Chottay. All that remains of that boy is a bereft scream locked deep in his heart. He knows, he is not at all the man his Mama had hoped to raise ... He is the epitome of all she would have not wanted ... Yet he asks ...

Her heart lurches to her mouth, she cannot utter word ... Her unspoken answer hangs between them ... He turns to look at her, his throat convulsing. Her answer glints at him in the tears she holds back, it hides from him under her lowered blinking eyelids, it stutters to him in her evasive mumble ... 👏👏👏

Her eyes gave him what he needed that moment..peace within..solace and he was at peace after so many years ...may be for a while yet he was.

She leaves reluctantly, aching for him, pining she could give him more. Her heart breaks at his resignation, at his hopelessness ... Her confident, proud, bossy Laad Governer. A man she has repeatedly accused in the past of conceited self-absorption, of offensive, brash arrogance, sees himself as a failure tonight. She turns back and asks, Aap theek toh hai. He turns his face sideways and gives her an assuring nod. An honest answer ... He is surprisingly okay. An inexplicable understanding, a gentle calm settles on him ... She has shown him the path. He turns to watch her leave, as she walks up the stairs.

The other side of town, a shy, gentle boy woos a quiet, unassuming girl, with undesired flowers, with unwanted tinsel, with unnecessary sparkle. But with genuine, heartfelt, nervous reminders of their simple, unobtrusive love story ... He speaks nervously, but honestly. He stumbles, but only because he is so tenderly earnest. He will fail, she will break his heart because the quiet girl knows of the divide between them and the price of such a farfetched dream.

Faiqa... Ipoona this episodes takes me to their remarriage suhagraat.
all he felt today will be confessed on that night. his haunting past and the void created by his mothers exit which was filled by hatred and insenstivity and fully guarded under a stern exterior was out in the open ...his vulnerability..his
fears..his hurt..his longing for peace came tumbling out of his heart.

Excellent connection...👏

he who had learn to hate to keep the hurt at bay was now unconsciously letting the past go and was only keeping the moment spend with her close to his heart.only his heart knew that her every smile and every tear make him go weak
"farak padta hai" with her existence..no matter how much his head denies.

Indeed, with every tear of her , his heart sheds tears...

and today after seeing those Kangans and her moms letter to her bahu
he knew they were not going to the right person...he could make everyone believe that La is for him...but he cant feign where his mom comes...he knew he is not doing right by making La his pawn. his conciousness pricked him and he admitted that his mom would not have recognised him if she was alive today.

Well said Anju as I mentioned the same thoughts in recent posts, he knows his mom is not seeking her DIL in La...it's Khushi but he wants some one to confirm it.

also the msg she had written..he was already doing all that to khushi...venting his anger on her..and she giving just unconditional comfort in return...he has still to show her that love filled heart..and her moms words made him realise the wrong he is doing to the righful owner of her Kangans.

Di is the one who he adored after his mom...but today he needed someone else...👏👏👏

his soulmate

and only she knew how to set his mood right...hamesha se...⭐️
and where his mom and inner feelings/emotions come...there no one can take Khushis place,his urge for her closeness made him let go of his ego and Deal and all he wanted was to go with her to the celestial land where he could feel his mom...he was ready to believe in everyword she said...felt comfort in her closeness...felt contented hearing her words and wanted her to say YES that their parents are happy to see them TOGETHER ...

Parents gave them their blessings today

no pretense..no artificial shell..no anger...just a little vulnerable, sensitive and innocent boy who wants just Khushi to alleviate his painful past...unknowingly he left Di,s comfort and advanced towards her as she only holds the KEY to his happiness.but in denial

She completed her bandaging on his wounded soul by asking "Aap theek to hai na" and he more at peace with himself affirmed and his eyes followed her till she is out of sight.

Each star in the sky symbolizes one reason why I love you.
Your love is like the north star; you guide me when I'm lost.👏

Wonderful writeup...hats off to both of you girls

- Annju
