He is smiling and greeting people, going through the motions, while his mind is elsewhere. He knows he has done the right thing, but has no words to explain right now with any clarity, neither to himself nor to his family. And what answers does he have for the questions in Khushi's eyes? There was disappointment in them, for letting her down; an anger and hurt for leaving her friend broken; and traces of an unhappiness that he cannot understand.

But wait a minute - what did she say just now? She understands how it feels to have someone you trust break your faith and commitment to you? Her engagement is broken?

How dare he - that Shyam or whoever - how dare he hurt her, break her trust, cause that shadow of unhappiness and sadness to come into her eyes. Was that why she cried the other day? And rushed to her Devi Maiyya for solace? Is she okay now?

Arnav Singh Raizada is a cornered man today.

His whole family is clamoring to know what happened. Lavanya deserved to know what happened, but all he could tell her was that he does not feel for her what she feels for him - shaayad kabhi karta bhi nahi.

His precious Di wants to know why - isn't she the one who asked him again and again if he was happy, truly in love? Wasn't she the one talking about his breath stopping when he finds his love? Can't she see what happens to him when Khushi is around?

What can he say - how can he explain - when he himself is flailing and desperately trying to keep his head up in this whirlpool of emotions that are sucking him in!

All he knows is the irresistible pull she has on him, from the time she fell in his arms; from the moment he set his eyes on her, it has been her and only her - everyone else has been a blur; that no matter how hard he tried he cannot push her away from his thoughts and life; that he hurts every time she cries, and his spirits soar every time she smiles; that the maelstrom of emotions that churn through him calm down and settle when she is around; that for the first time in many long, lonely years, it doesn't seem so hard anymore to share a little bit of his lost soul with her.

He doesn't know if this is love - he would rather not give a name to this intense hold she has on him. He doesn't even know what he wants out of it, and from her. Isn't he the one who always said he doesn't care for love and commitments? So what is it he craves for?

He shouldn't have been so impulsively reckless in announcing he wants to marry Lavanya. If he is the kind of man to bang his head against walls, he would. But he is Arnav Singh Raizada, the self made man who does not turn back on mistakes and failures. He breaks walls, not watch helplessly when his life is about to go out of control. So he went and did damage control. Painful, but necessary.

Now all he needs to do is figure out what to do with Khushi. To get her to admit that he means as much to her as she does to him. Then they can figure out what is it that pulls them to each other so strongly.

Now, how long do you think it will take for his shaatir dimaag to kick in and realize that though she sounded angry and hurt to be deceived in her own rishta, she was more broken up about Lavanya's broken heart. That she in fact looks unburdened of a heavy weight. She is no longer looking like the ghost of her original self, walking around lost like a shadow, she is back to her spunky self. That she is in fact free of commitment to some one else, just as he is!

I don't know about Arnav Singh Raizada, but I, Inspired Soul, am throwing a party and waiting with popcorn in my favorite spot to watch him stake his claim on his Khushi! Let the games begin! 😉

A song to get your romantic juices flowing - lyrics I always felt very appropriate for the way ASR watches Khushi, especially in the upcoming episodes! (Just ignore the line about crying, though!)

Listen to the song here:

Every Breath You Take - by Sting

Every breath you take

Every move you make

Every bond you break

Every step you take

I'll be watching you

Every single day

Every word you say

Every game you play

Every night you stay

I'll be watching you

O can't you see

You belong to me

How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make

Every vow you break

Every smile you fake

Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace

I dream at night I can only see your face

I look around but it's you I can't replace

I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

I keep crying baby, baby please

Every move you make

Every vow you break

Every smile you fake

Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you

Beautifully written Poona and Arshi.

Though some how somewhere I am not convinced that their friendship was to last forever. In the future episodes, they showed ASR talking with LA (after she reached London, during the stupid suicide track), however, not once did they either show or insinuate Khushi talking with LA. If the friendship they forged now was to last forever, why was that connection not shown later??

Anyways, coming to the episode, overall an okay episode for me. Reasons below.

1. Khushi didn't let ASR speak a word on why he broke off they engagement. She went on an incessant rant which didn't really go down very well with me. If she had only let him speak a bit, she would have known why he broke off with her. And no, she should have known he was not about to confess his love for her. He would probably have just stated that he and Lavanya were not meant to be.

2. Khushi stating that her engagement was off. I don't know if this was a direction issue, but it just didn't come out right. "Hamara bhi dil toota hai". Honestly?? Was she really broken hearted because of her broken engagement? I never felt so. She might have been upset that the man she was engaged to is di's husband, but the way she said it sounded a bit far-fetched from the truth. She was really broken hearted after diwali, not now.

3. Anjali's reaction - I can understand she is upset that her brother has called off his engagement, however, I would have liked to see a little bit of understanding here. This is the same chote whom she claimed to know really well. Where is the understanding here?

I loved nani here. Her reaction seemed the most appropriate. After the initial hurt, she realized that there must be a very big reason behind this...

I somehow always felt that even though di claimed that she knew her chote very well, I think in practice it was nani who always understood him the best.

4. Shyam's reaction was spot on. If only he knew at this moment the reason behind Arnav's broken engagement. May be his reaction might have been different😆

Bidz, agree with you absolutely on everything. This is THE episode that Khushi started looking like a stranger I haven't known at all. It didn't sit well with me is an under statement.

I and Ipoona had a rant about it on the 145 thread.

Here she tried to meddle with ASR-La breakup as if she is trying to patch up between her 5 and 7 yr old kids! Give them some space and don't suffocate them. This is the exact phase where, post his break up with La, his character was elevated several notches up and hers slid fast and furious that some how I couldn't help empathizing more with that man during their haste/ hate marriage than a girl who was unfortunately coerced into it!

Had a hectic Monday ahead. not sure if I can come back here.

@ Ipoona...must say one of the best insight into the bond shared by la and our Desi girl..reminded me of the time when they both were oponents on the score board in ASR office..when la gloated over her miserable state..when she named this downmarket girl "Chamkili"...indeed a long journey...

and Khushi as usual all sincere and devoted to her duties..her mind just see her goal to help La make her place in the house and in the heart of his nani...No cheating even if it means her own emotions sacrificing and breaking her heart into zillion pieces...you have described the bond and friendship in a beautiful way...never thought of that way...the bond so strong and both ready to let go of their first love for each other..

A man who did not want to marry, will marry. Just not her. The clear as day, inevitable truth shines in her downcast eyes. She knows, he will find his way to her ... Eventually

really hurtful realisation but she acknowledge that with grace ...what i felt bad for her was that after achieving what was expected of her...she was denied life long commitment by her man as well as his family...but to compensate she earned the respect which she herself was oblivious of...but she made her own choice and that spoke volumes about her growth in RM
