A stark reality gets uncovered

The reasons for marriage are now unfurled

A desperate bid to make things clear

So deep are the wounds, it falls on deaf ears

A turnaround from all the hate

To heed to his heart's faltering state

But the evil lays out a devilish plan

Creating a hurdle between her and her man

A confession in captivation

Makes the heart erupt in jubilation

But only for a while, as she'd soon realise

There's more to it, to understand and analyse

Kyun dard hai itna, the hearts start to sing

Love goes through a furnace to come out shining

Troubling and taxing times ahead

The warring couple would be separated

Distance makes the love ignite

Welcome to BFTP thread twenty five

"yeah right... sach!" "jee haan, sach!... woh sach jisse aap meelon door hain..." "yeah right... the truth!" "yes, sir, the truth!... that truth from which you are miles away!" the sach really is we have crossed many meelon together on this trek of ours. plenty fun and nok-jhoks we have seen, pondered the impossible pulchritude of asr and the chaotic craziness of khushi both of which have severely shaken our galactic equilibrium; we've dived into the fiery seas of love and hamesha, climbed the dizzy heights two actors can take us to, visited planet shantivan and planet gh, avoided being sucked into oblivion by slimy antimatter called shyam. we have even managed to survive the attack of ott and sugary sweet homey days with pink walls... and here we are on the bridge, where we must face the truth. and since our vision is not fogged by what we saw on the terrace, all we see is we are on thread #25. it's our silver jubilee thread, yay. congratulations, all. now let's settle down to some fantastic acting and hotness, shall we, whether we have "a character" or not.

~A connection of Heart to Soul~

By

ArshiHamesha

..."agar aap aise chale jayengey tou hum saans hi nahin..."[I won't be able to breath in your absence]...Arnav who was trapped in this all along is stunned seeing his Khushi in the same vortex but he couldn't handle it again as always and left her but their connection has reached to the next level.

This is his last run away of Arnav from the love. Arnav is so lucky that he has always get chances to leave everything in his life for sometime to gather his thoughts, analyze his life and put it back to its correct place whereas Khushi she has to face very trouble in her without any help, she can't afford escape away routes and all she can do is wait, have faith in herself and being patient and she is pretty good in this but in the end there is a limit too.

Connection of hearts happened the day she landed in his arms yet confession occurred with awareness on Holi but Khushi was totally in inebriated form to accept that as compared to Arnav. Diwali night she surrendered to her love first time and then got crushed in between those gripping feelings . She had let her emotions get under the blanket of hibernation even after the realization of her true feelings for him especially after the terrace night. She got shattered in this delusional ocean of Love as Arnav's attitude and actions had changed her perception for him as her trust over him did shake it's walls. But Khushi was totally unaware of Arnav's feelings and the motives behind these acts . We are seeing again courageous Khushi at the airport where she is not afraid or hesitant standing on her grounds to prove her innocence for the man who she loves the most..."agar aap aise chale jayegey tou hum saans hi nahin..."[I won't be able to breath in your absence]... The realization is seeping in that the man who she thought of a Rakshus without feelings is the man who really loved her and now hated her for that reason. She was responsible for this Hate and misunderstanding in between them and knows how much he is in pain because of her..." aur humari wajha se aapka Dukh aur badh raha hai...[your pain is increasing because of me]...and that is ripping her inside out as a guilt... "ek baar humari baat sun lete to...jaana zaruri tha kya..." [what could go wrong if he heard me once , it was necessary to go right now]...She indeed is floating in the ocean of deep guilt and Love.

In their marriage Khushi was always the brave, courageous one, not afraid to fight just like Goddess Parvati who bear every hard task to prove her love. She never knew how to back out and she never rest until she proved her innocence which was once told by lavanyah that she is the only the who can make Arnav listen and understand and can give him power to fight and let go his past. Indeed she was immensely feeling guilty after finding herself the reason of chootth and dukh in Arnav's life. She is Khushi and she only spread happiness in other life and her one mistake hurt someone special in her life, she is determine to right that wrong.

Her subconscious is reeling the moments of their connection in such a way that her guilt is taking over her conscious . She never knew of Arnav's collection of their connective objects and the reason of their captivity .That is coming to her now but her remorse is pulling her towards this maze strongly that she is losing her balance of mind but again their connection of hearts is shifting to soul connection .They are reaching to next level where their frame of reference doesn't need their presence any more and they can feel each other's distress and trouble from miles...She some how is feeling his distress and he is feeling hers and that's why he is calling her over and over and not letting her disappear in this DARK maze of guilt and vortex of despair. He is awakening her Love. 👏 👏

She had given him the mannat chaabi and left him but her blood meaning her heart brought him back to her , the Payal she left for him unintentionally yet his heart found the connection but he put on her to accept this connection , and the pearls which are scattered on the floor under her feet meaning she was misunderstanding the purity of his Heart and Love just like he was doing by throwing em away once.These Pearls are emotions of all colors which they share with each other inside the ocean of their hearts.These are their deep wishes which they have for each other more than the depth of an ocean.These are the pains which they share by destiny and bring uproar of this ocean in their lives when they feel it.These are the eyes through which they acknowledge each other and dignify each other .These Pearls are the stars which are the reasons of their existence in this world and far from the distance smiling at them at their pure but delusional hearts.These are the desires which are longing ,yearning ,and embarking in their hearts and making them agitated to be with each other.These Pearls are the purity of love for each other which is so precious and flawless among them regardless of the presence of evil and darkness around em. These pearls today are screaming at her to accept all this just like once these were screaming at Arnav to accept her purity . These were floating around and being thrown but now Khushi is collecting em and Arnav will put em in one Dori...one chain...one thread.The beauty is Khushi never knew these were in his possession but today these are putting her in the ocean of guilt deeper than ever but at the same time bringing her his true feelings for her at the surface

I love the above lines, they are beautiful. Fantastic connections of pearls. Arnav broke the doori of pearls, the scattered pieces of pearls are like their messed up lives under the shadow of misunderstandings and guilt. Khushi always found a way and like that she gather all the pearls back and Arnav will put them in the thread of their relation which would be very strong because of immense love and trust for which they have strive and fought for.

Today in her dream she visualized how their "heart connected together"... First pearls as this arrogant broke her abyss and entered her soul but she was bruised , Second, Mannat ki chaabi which unlocked their hearts by the forces of divinity and the Payal which Arnav put on her to make her HIS and above all " made promised to protect her" (as silver Payal has always symbolized keeping away the negative forces)as I explained in Maha 57 .

So collectively, Khushi in her dream is getting lost in this maze with fear of losing him along with the the guilt of hurting him which is pulling her in the riddles but this also meant to connect Arnav's soul to her ..Arnav will help her to come out of this riddle and she will find her love , her Arnavji...and He will protect her and their relation from every evil . That loop is closed today which started from Epi 1^st but the next loop of putting scattered pearls in one thread still needs time but Khushi will see a second sequence which shows her deepest desire for all of these pearls in one thread and Arnav will fulfill her dream. 👏 👏

Naniji also helped broken Khushi to understand Arnav and his painful world. She told her everything which can make her understand better as compared to Anjali... "Aur chup gaye ek bade se pateele ke bartan maan aur atak gaye, phir bartan ko kaatna pada" -[Brass symbolizes judgment upon adulterer , but also reprsents self repentance and self judgment ] as he will connect the dots to repent "mujhe aur khuch nahin chaiye Khushi..."[ I don't need anything else Khushi...] is his next destination. Awesome connection 👏 👏

Khushi's worries over Naniji's statement..."phir to Arnav ji ko bhi chot aayi hogi" [Arnav must be hurt too]...Yes in this whole repentance process he will suffer, he will take all "Chot" which he inflicted on Khushi...Naniji's "woh Chotey hain,chotey...chot ki khaatir nahi,murga banne ki khaatir roye "[ He is Chote, he cried for being chicken not for getting hurt] ...[Chicken , according to African beliefs ...guides souls and according to Chinese Zodiac a decision maker and Sharp while it also wards off evil and Lust]...Yes if Khushi will reveal this serpent , Arnav will decide to cut him off.

Naniji's next words are golden for Khushi to tie this whole thing up..."galti unki rahi...hamre chotey hai na agar woh kisi se pyaar kare hain aur unke liye kuch nahi kar sake to khudi kohi sazaa dene lagat hain...aise hi hain hamaare chotey"[ chote punishes himself if he is at fault and can't do anything for the person he loves the most]These words are tying up with Anjali's words,"Chote sab kuch baant sakte hai par apna dukh nahin..."[He can share everything but his sorrows and pain]

Khushi's fear, worries and his decision of going London now is going to hurt him but as Naani says "aise hi hain Chote"...[that's how he is] - if he realizes,that it is his mistake and if he sees he can't help the person he loves the most (Di ke laadley...murga khud hi ban gaye)... then he punishes himself , as for Anjali's sake he did punish himself that dreadful night and has to live with serpent. Now his soul has a burden as he has suspected and hurt Khushi so for this realization ,he'll punish himself...

Naniji words are truly golden. Chotte is going to hurt himself and will take all the chootth and pain which he inflicted on Khushi. He will punish himself for not listening to his heart, on his stupid decisions and him being the reason of distress in an angel life who fell in his arms to take away his pain and darkness but in returned he darkened her life.

The sequence of fbs reel in front of her trueand honest picture of Arnav's actions "aur aap jo humain bachane keh liye khud ko chot de rahe thay..."[u were hurting yourself for saving me all along]...when , Guest House night he realized his mistake ,Rain night by giving her coat he made initiative to correct his actions of making her suffer, wounded wrist scene ...realization of her pain which in return hurting him all along ,the bandage scene ,action towards correcting his mistakes by healing her wound and the last one, leaving the hands at the airport shows the guilt has shifted the anger and hate as he is leaving with the knowledge of his wrong actions of hurting and crushing Khushi...

that's why..."Khushi mein ne tumhain hurt kya ...mein khud ko khabi maaf nahin kar paoonga" ..He can't forgive himself what he inflicted upon her all this time and then he will emerge as a true protector of her dreams...The protective connection of heart to soul has completed and locked today and now it's the time to just embrace it and that will complete it's coarse during Telepathy.

An Anniversary Poem by aarwen

Our hearts had started beating fast

And instinct would know right from the start

It was not to be a simple love story

This would turn out as something legendary.

Innocent Aphrodite reincarnated in glittering gold, pink, green up on the stage

He was the wearisome raj kumar in black who opened his eyes in a haze

She fell into those waiting arms, love had its first victory

But we knew things would not be this easy, as soon as he ripped that pearl dori.

Suddenly in his orderly life she injected chaos everywhere

Welcome to hell in exquisite anger when he challenged her to dare

Vision in red trembling she stood, his lungs needed air to breathe

She raved and ranted that night in the guesthouse, "Khushi" her name on his lips would seethe.

A tentative right step into his house, orange jooce made it's first appearance

The cutest smile possible would soon light up his whole countenance

Reminder of what all he has lost, reckless rage directed at the girl

Compelled to say sorry, he notices her cheeks glazed with liquid pearl.

Something has changed, ethereal rabba ve knows

Fights and breezy hey hey hey come together in a healthy dose.

Sultry temptress encircled by flickering diyas, he went aflame in desire

Disorientated he broke away, soon they would be playing with fire.

Wondrous star gazing together, forming a bond eternal

Time for jealousy, fark parta hai kyunki life without her would be dismal

Divine dance claiming right expressed in teri meri

Swirl of dhak dhaks no longer controlled by just a sweet sanka jilebi

Besotted lover with his flirtatious "hi" and striking looks

The sweetest kiss spreading crimson blush would keep her on tenterhooks

Beautiful in a twinkling bindi, baat karni hai on an unforgettable night

Fate had its say, heartache could not be pushed away try hard as Arnav might.

Into the darkness desolate he drove, outrage against life in his yell

6 month wedding to his unfaithful beloved, the solution as far as he could tell

Shattered dreams, broken promises she knew not why

All this agonizing hate, oh how we would cry!

Enchanting magic, hyperventilating hearts, would get added to holi history

How all this was left behind to move to the next phase still remains a mystery

From Harvard he studied MBA, we get to see an unfamiliar soft side

Leading to the revelation of the betrayal he so badly attempted to hide.

Overnight a girl grew into a woman as she heard her loved one's confession

Staying apart, the longing grew and now there would no longer be any hesitation

Most loving hug bringing two souls in the closest embrace

Fireflies turned up the heat, Reunited they sizzled under devi maiya's grace.

Infinite unwavering belief once he returns will be his redemption

But fighting to keep her for life still needs some attention

Engaging teasing, red nose, no wonder the bride is shy

"I love you dammit" he yelled out, now I can happily die!

Tar Dilon Ke...[A connection of hearts...]

by

ArshiHamesha

"The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. "Unknown...

Khushi opens the curtain to connect the Sun [ a star , parents's connection] to her Sun [ Arnavji] who is keeping his eyes closed from her "aapki anhon par waise hi jhoot ka parda hai..." [ your eyes are closed under lies].. but his heart and it's connection is disturbed seeing her withdrawing from all the connections, she has built with him so far.The connections of bathroom fights to her Dabba service to her cherish smiles just by giving him troubles has reached to an end ..."ek khamoshi"[Silence] from her side..."Humari taraf se sirf Khamoshi milegi.." [ u will get just silence from me ] ...The conflict of his thoughts in between these connections and understanding that she is changing him the way he was before "Khushi! tum kya kar rahi ho"[What r u doing]...and her painful disconnection..."ise phir se apka bana diya" [I changed it again yours] and all he could do was get affected and yet pretend indifferent !!!.."kyun main uske baare mein itna soch raha hun...uska hona nahon kyuon itna pareshan karta hai...mujhe koi fadak nahi padta..."[Why am I thinking about her ...why everything about her is bothering me...No it doesn't matter to me]

Her silence is killing her playfulness , Her silence is shattering the togetherness...Her silence is disturbing the ocean...collecting the clouds ...indeed Storm is on the way...but all he could show indifference..."yeh mat samjho ki mujhe nahi pata tum kya karne ki koshish kar rahi ho...mujhe koi fadak nahi padta "[Don't think that I don't know what are you doing..but it doesn't matter to me..]She who can't stand any rift in this connection, any knot in this Dhaaga...Tar but declaring that " "hum ne Dhaga jan bhooj kar nahin bandha par ab jab baandh liya hai tou..."[ I didn't make this knot but if we are connected through it then]..

Her khamoshiyan always effected Arnav because then not her mouth but eyes speaks and he knows very well that her eyes never lie and that's what urging and pushing him to questions his accusations, notions for life which she always proved wrong. But all he could now do is showing indifference to her, controlling his conscious by believing that a cheater can't effect him. He has now crossed the red line and that will let him to understand the language of silience and their, then, relation will change and enter into next phase of Pyaar where words will not matter at all. Guilt will dominate every feeling but love will conquer their hearts again for eternity.

The righteous Khushi is a wounded soul right now and justifying her side by taking his signature to save this connection but her connection with her mind is getting stronger in case of Shyam and his filthiness but she will have to disconnect the ink from these papers after paying a heavy price.That price will make Arnav wake up as Sun did reach to his eyes but took a little time to convey the message to his brain to see a real divine connection in between him and his Khushi where no Zahri [ apparent] connection is needed as their soul has this divine connections already.She gets panicked over his disconnecting her calls" yeh humra phone kyuon kaat rahe hai" [Why is he disconnecting me?] As he is leaving for London...on her mother's 56^th Birthday Where 5 is divine Grace [sun ...a star ...his mother has showered shine on him today] where 6 is the scarification and poisonous number ...interesting He is meeting both in one day...But his mother will be there to protect him...to awake him...to bring him back to this connection.

Shyam will himself force Arnav to such extent that he will have no choice except to remove the blindfold and then the reality, the harsh truth will dawn. Shyam started this all and he will be the one who will end and he won't even get a hint that how the turns against him.

Khushi's pain and wound is getting deeper knowing he is in pain she is again the reason increasing it... For Khushi "hum unko jaane nahi denge...aise to kabhi nahi jab hamaare karan unka dard aur badh raha hai..." - time was running out and she had to see him... the entire background and foreground to Anjali-Khushi conversation and how it connected to Arnav who just want to be alone without Khushi..."Stop calling me Khushi..." he knew how she was being impatient and running around to show him the truth - he just wanted to go away without making it more difficult - but when he entered the airport he was still lost in her...

Then This Mehsoos ...the connection of wind ... he feels here presence [Finally in years ...mehsoos is back]- and turns around with happy old Rabba Ve ...when both the lovers smile and get connected through their tears to see each other in the first instant...

But ASR has to be rigid... he won't stop and listen...the mention of Shyaam is stabbing the wounded heart...walking away is the only answer for him and disconnecting her is the solution but is it???...No !!!Arnav , who couldn't walk away with the knowledge that she is waiting out for him , her tears are falling on his heart , that connection has crossed the barrier already ...he has hope that the truth will redeem the pain...

"Koi hai jo yeh prove kar sakta hai ki hum bekasoor hain " [There is someone who can prove that I am innocent] ...BUT does Arnav need anyone to prove her innocence ..NO!! He has crossed that barrier...Khushi is innocent and her herself saying that is more than enough for him at this point ... She has exposed her scars to him openly and his bruises are unveiled to her ...but to avoid the tension for words and the arguments just breaking them in pieces and his raw painful wounds starts bleeding again after her revelation...""Di ne bataaya aap kyun ja rahe hain...agar aap ruk jaate..."[Di has mentioned ,why are you going today?] " which he doesn't want to share but wants to share at this moment...he will do later in her embrace and she will be his healer...

Time and circumstances are the great teachers. Because of his past, Arnav started speaking the language of facts, proofs and contracts but time will again shake his life where he will recognize that his communication lack the basic thing, trust which over power every fact, proof and contract. Arnav doesn't need anyone to prove her innocence. Her khamoshi, being restless and impatient are enough to deliver him the message. Soon the time will come after his rescue when Arnav again will enter in RM with Khushi but with trust depicting in his every word and action which will led to downfall of the evil plans of Shyam.

but now at this moment- he gives her waiting time to prove herself... "3 minute hai tumhaare paas..."( number "3" signifies masculine number but always brings victory...attainment) - he sees her panicking -She pleads , commands, forces him to listen to her"aapko sach sunna hoga.."[U have to hear the truth]...And finally he gives in"kyun Khushi,...kyun fadak padta hai tumhe..."[Why it matters to you Khushi]...She embarks with her Right... "kyun...fadak padta hai kyunki baat aapki hai...issliye Fadak padta hai kissi aur ki hoti tou nahin padta...aur agar aap hi chale jaayenge to hum saans hi nahi" [Why it matters because It is you what matters me the most...not anyone else and if u leave like that then how will I breath]

Yes It matters to her to prove her innocence to him because she loves him, she can't live without him either and can't see any suspicious in his eyes. She would rather rise than fall , SHe would rather die than his refusal.

Now he doesn't need anything else but holds her in his embrace, he is speechless, he is stunned seeing raw truth in her eyes which he can't handle just like before when he couldn't see raw connection and tried to wash away..."mujhe koi Fadak nahin padta kissi larki se"... as this is a way of saying I care, it is a way of expression of their innermost feelings all along that shows a deep connection with which they are knotted together.But He has run away again just like before till this TAR brings him back to his Khushi and her innocence...as His heart is screaming that his Khishi is right but his mind still need time..."main ruka tha...kyunki kahi ek hope thi..."

Very true, he doesn't need anything except a hug which will wash away all the dirt and pain in their lives but his mind dominates his heart again.

She holds on to his hands..."mat jaye"...just like he connected himself to her on that dreadful night...by transferring strength , today she is transferring strength in him ...just like she stopped him to move away from her on Holi and connected him with the strongest connection of all in between them. Superb connection 👏 👏 👏 👏

Today she is strengthening this relationship and even he is forcefully removing himself but with other hand he is tightening the knot by himself...Just like he made a promise holding her hand in the night that he will never let this angel go away...and he will do whatever it takes to hold her close to him..such a beautiful lines 👏 👏

He walks away by his last call but for him - walking away from her is the most difficult act - "aisa kyun hota hai jab aap hamaare kareeb hote hain to hamaari dil ke dhadhkane tez ho jaati hai..." - they are connected by heartbeats - tearing apart is never the way forward...

"Jab jo bura kaha uska koi matlab nahi...jab jo bura kiya uska koi matlab nahi...iss pyaar mein sahi aur galat ka koi matlab nahi...bas ek cheez ka matlab hai...ki main hamesha... hamesha tumse.."

These words make him realize the connection which doesn't need explanation because no matter what, he's been always in Love with her and this connection is way above all as La's words..."pyar sab se bada hota hai....

Soon ..."I don't need anything Khushi "will come to make this connection stronger...The connection of pain is what made them realize and questioning their feelings as always.

Khushi's tears halt him..."Kyun aisa feel kar raha hoon...kyun Khushi se door jaane mein itni takleef ho rahi hai.."[Why am I feeling like that?...Whey is it so hard to go away from Khushi..? He finally has found the Tar...the connection...And he turned...to go back to her...But.. an unknown person..[TIME] asks for him..."I'll be gone...but our connection is strong and "jo tum mehsoos karti ho who main mehsoos karta hoon...kyuonke humari dhadkanain ek hain"[ I feel what you feel as our heartbeats become one].. as Khushi is right ..."in sab keh baad hum aapko jane nahin daingey"[after all of this I can't let you go] and indeed he can't break this connection...a connection of hearts...Tar dilon keh...

"Oh, why did people have to be separated before they understood how much they meant to each other?"

Linda Crew

Yes he turned towards his Khushi as he always does...and from now on he will never let her go away from him either...but still they have to cross the barriers of pains to reach to each other's SOULS...

Kyuon Khabon peh tere saiye Hai

Dil kyuon hai Tanha mera

Kyuon Khamoshi hai zuban meri

Ashkon se keh paoon na

Kyuon dard hai itna tere ishq mein

Rabba Ve ...Rabba Ve...Rabba ve

Pressure Cooker

BAS!!!

It all seemed to build and build until finally the explosion occurred. He tells her the reason why he had married her and for only six months to protect his sister.

Arnavji finally asks her for an explanation.

It all came out and she stood there flummoxed and silent.

He poured out his heart in anger and frustration and finally those beautiful twinkling stars that she cherishes around the room and left for him, her dying wish, he flings.

It is finished.

He has been cooked to the point of done. His pressure cooker's "knob" has been released, it is finished and Khushi now knows what he held inside.

Rabba Vey slowly plays in the background and you could feel their hearts bleeding, paining, exploding with release but she doesn't respond.

Shell shocked...no words.

He leaves in disgust with his nafrat and she dumbfounded, watches him.

My heart is breaking.

***

credit Ami, ufff deadwa!

He stands on the porch of the Gupta house. The shutters of his mind flicker pictures of reminiscent scenes of their moments. How could she? They had that beautiful moment during Holi...it seemed so real...her breath is taken away when he comes close to her.

Isn't that what she said?

Confused thoughts enter his mind and then his reality, not hers, haunts him and he sees Shyam hugging her and proclaiming his love for her and not Anjali.

How dare she not respond to his accusations?

A few seconds later a whirlwind flies by him in a blue outfit acting as if all things are normal, they must get ready to go home, isn't that what he said they were leaving? She can't leave all her clothes here unless he is buying her all new ones at Shantivan she proclaims happily. He looks at her as if she is nuts, what is happening that she is ignoring what just occurred with no explanation.

Khushi does act as if nothing has happened making jokes as they are packing and getting ready to leave and Arnav is getting more and more frustrated and you could see the gussa building up in his pressure cooker. Even her mother and Aunt see his displeasure and ask if she is fighting with him. She says that he is just upset to leave the Gupta's. He goes into Khushi's room and is finishing packing when he finds a star. He holds this star in his hand twirling it with care, it reminds him of Khushi and wonders why is she behaving so normally? He throws the star his anger evident. He wants an explanation.

Deep down, I believe he knows something is not right.

She comes inside and is still blabbering trying to pack things. He grabs her and says stop acting as if nothing has happened and she asks him what has happened. He starts to angrily discuss their incident and is interrupted by Buaji.

It's time to go but not before the Gupta's apologize for any inconvenience he experienced and how small the size of the house and the great Arnav Singh Raizada responds with something so totally out of the ordinary, that I know he is changing, when he answers her,

"The love I received here was more valuable than the house's worth."

Buaji kisses him on the forehead and feels blessed and Garima caresses his cheek. So sweet and Khushi chimes in jealously aren't you leaving any love for her?

Khushi holds on to the picture as she gets into the car with care. They say their goodbyes and are off.

Khushi is blabbering away on the phone call she received from Di and when she hangs she says she is happy she will see everyone again. She names everyone and jealous angry Arnav says "and Shyam?" She ignores his question and says she can't wait to show everyone their picture and then his pressure cooker needs release. He pulls the car over and grabs her out of the car.

THAT'S ENOUGH! ENOUGH!

What is going on?

He throws their beautiful portrait down and the glass breaks on the road and he proceeds to yell at her. Concerned she doesn't feel any remorse, no explanation he goes on and on. He proceeds to say to her that it is sad that both families love her so much, she hides her true colors, but he is aware of them.

Khushi silently listens.

The pressure cooker has been turned on.

And then it begins.

He is glad that her mom and dad are not alive.

"Don't talk about my parents."

She firmly states still under control but her eyes are aflamed.

He asks her why? She thinks they are stars. How does she look them in the eyes?

"BAS" she yells.

The pressure cooker needs release. She has told him not to talk about her parents. Her finger pointed at him, she swallows her anger and calms herself down, walking towards the car she says they should go home, Di must be waiting.

And now his cooker blows! He slams the door,

"No way, we are not leaving until you answer my questions!"

At this point I was clapping my hands saying finally! Thinking finally everything will be cleared. It's about time!

"How can you betray me and my family so easily? How come you didn't say anything?" He angrily asks her and then in the most gentle and caring voice, almost like he let his guard down, he says softly,

"Khushi...don't you think it's important to explain to ME?"

That question asks it all. Didn't you love me? Why? Why did you betray me and our love?

And now her pressure cooker is totally blowing and in need of release. Her pride is hurt. How can he think this of her? When has she ever made him believe she could ever do that disgusting act? She won't even lower herself to give him an answer. How could he even believe she would ever do this to him or Di?

And then the question to him, why didn't YOU ask me what happened before you forced me to marry you for six months?

The pressure cookers have been released!
