episode-292

Arnav gets Shyam out of the house by grabbing his collar. There is a befuddled expression suffuses in Anjali's eyes and she gives her last look at Shaym. The whole family is perplexed, what's happening!

After shutting the door, Arnav begs sorry to Anjali, he knows she is hurt, but he trusts Khushi. He is confident that what Khushi is saying is true.

Anjali totters in her place and finally faints. Arnav runs to catch her and so as the rest of the family.

Anjali's sense comes back in her room. The family enceindres her with tension. Arnav goes close to her, but she looks decadent and wretched, but her inside is convulsing in excruciating pain. Arnav and Khushi both look at each other with bafflement.

Mami tells Anjali to take rest, as the doctor said so. Anjali looks at Arnav with acute pain in her eyes, as if silently asking why you got my husband out of my life without my permission! Arnav's gaze falters ruefully; he wants to talk to Anjali. But nani wants to talk to Arnav first. Whatever happened, because of that there is a question raised in her mind. And she needs the answer from him. Arnav says in constrict voice that he will give the answers of all her questions, but before that he wants to talk to his di.

All goes out and Arnav sits on the bed beside Anajli. Before leaving the room Arnav gives Khushi an assuring nod, as if he is saying her not to worry, he will fix every thing. that's what I missed in his eyes when Shyam was humiliating Khushi.

"di you have to trust me. I could not see you in pain any more. I had to think of you and your unborn baby. di, till today, in every raksha bandhan, I promised to protect you. And today is the time to fulfill all of those promises; that's why I didn't have any other option left but to throw Shyam out from the house. I'm sorry di."

Arnav is in contrition for hurting his beloved did so much. He lies down on her lap, tries to give her some comfort. But Anjali seems just petrified in incisive pain that she even doesn't respond to his words.

Khushi who was standing outside, beside the door, breaks down completely to see the siblings sinking in an abyss of pain. Her heart slams painfully against her ribcage. She slides down to the floor, must be cursing herself, as she thinks she is reprehensible.

the floodgates opens and Anjali ebbs in the sweet memories of hers with Shyam. How he used to lift her in his arm, fed her, embraced her by saying that her place is in his heart. He brought the cradle for their unborn baby so lovingly. So many memories envelope her mind, how can she forget those!

Nani and mami also are in inexplicable grief. Both are crying remembering Shyam, his social niceties, his cordial behavior, and reverence to elders. He likes almond kheer, what nani used to make for him. Shyam used to give mami gifts and respected her a lot. They just can't believe that such a sweet person can be so vicious or they can't accept the fact that shaym is actually an evil person.

But they shouldn't have any doubt, after how he humiliated khushi in front of the family. No gentle man can behave so heinously with a woman even if she is bad.

Akash is also sitting with a grumpy mood. He is so exasperated on Payal that he doesn't even talk to her.

I can't blame Akash completely as Payal hid such a big thing from him. But how he continued the mental torture on Payal and blamed Khushi was annoying.

NK espies everybody, the whole house is mourning, the whole ambiance is melancholic and he feels a tug in his heart.

hushi is till outside Anjali's room, looking derelict. She is crying for the unfortunate thing what just happened because of her.

I felt a pang of pain for this young orphan girl. She has been bearing so much! She just came from near death, but nobody was even asking her or even thanked her for rescuing Arnav from the kidnappers. Arnav should take her to the doctor first, as she had a head injury. I was thinking as Barun was not available for some more days, why they didn't take Khushi to hospital to procrastinate the time!

Inside the room Anjali is recollecting how everything has changed in a moment. Khushi's accusation against Shyam, what Payal just revealed about his engagement with Khushi and next moment Arnav's slap. Silent tears are rolling down from her eyes in excruciating pain. Arnav is holding her hand, lying down on her lap. But anjali is stagnant as if God bereaved her completely. Arnav gets up to see tear in her eyes.

"I want to stay alone, please leave me alone." Anjali says without emotions. Arnav can't understand what to do. and Anjali repeats again,

"Arnav, just leave me alone."

Arnav perturbs to hear his name from Anjali's mouth. She never calls him by his name, always calls him chottey adoringly. In Bengali it says adorer daak.

She stands up and gets Arnav out from the room by holding his hand. Arnav is pleading her not to separate him from her, she has to listen to him, and she just can't do this.

Khushi stands up in embroilment. Akash, mami, Payal, NK, Akash, nani all gathers in front of Anjali's room again. But Anjali is incorrigible and says, she just wants to stay alone. She is not even looking in anybody's eyes. She shuts the door. All start to bang on her closed door.

"Please leave me alone." Anjali cries out.

mami says Anjali bitiya, but no avail, cause Anjali is impervious, she just says, "hume kaha naa, i want nobody. I just want to stay alone."

All prefers to leave her alone. While leaving, nani's look goes to Khushi's crestfallen face. She goes to caresses her. But mami seems harbored so much acrimony against her that she doesn't even want nani to love her.

I wish if mami had a daughter, then she couldn't be so harsh to an innocent girl!

Akash is livid; Payal pleads him to listen to her,

"You have to trust me and Khushi, cause we are telling the truth."

Akash asks her why she didn't tell it before. Payal wants to say, the reason. But Akash is not ready to hear anything,

"Such a big thing, and you didn't tell me"

He leaves with anger.

Payal leaves her thought to pacify her indignant husband, but she just can't evade her thought to support her sister, when she is in pain and anguish; she hugs her with so much love.

I really loved seeing this sisterly bonding growing again. After her marriage it was just lost.

Poor NK just watching everything with heavy heart.

Anjali stands in front of shyam and her portrait, she is crying with enormous pain. she can't accept why all of a sudden her perfect world became so complicated and painful!,

"I can't live without you. rehe nahi payenge apke bina" her voice constricts with so much tears that she even can't utter words from her mouth. She feels completely mortified as her and Shyam's life have taken divergent path.

Anjali is still in denial that Shyam actually deceived her.

By hugging Payal, Khushi tells her that she can't see Arnav and Anjali like this. She can't see them in such state. Copious tears are rolling down from her eyes..

Arnav finally enters in his room, still in his dirty clothes.

Go man, first take shower then think.😆

He is in compunction. he mutters,

"I hurt di so much! I never wanted her to suffer like this. But it was important to bring this truth to everybody. But I can't see her in this state. I just can't see her like this"

The sad music in the bg makes the air more gloomy.

Oh my man, he pretends to the world that he is heartless, but his heart is just soft and tender like a baby. Oh my bachcha come to me, I'll love you more than Khushi.

Khushi has changed in her pristine white night suit. Clad in white she is looking opalescent. While wiping her hair, her look goes to Arnav, who is standing outside facing the pool. Khushi recollects the horrible event that occurred today, especially Arnav's slap on Shyam for humiliating her. She dithers, recalling Arnav said he trusts her. her heart suffuses with gratitude.

HP brings coffee for Arnav. Khushi takes the tray from his hand and saunters slowly towards the pool. Walking towards the pool, she struggles to shake off a vague disquietude in her heart, which almost felt like guilt. Her hands are quavering in agitation and her heart is thumping to intrude his sanctuary, as she knows very well that he is vulnerable now. A sudden wave of despondency and hesitation hits her, washing away all her courage and energy. Arnav turns back sensing her coming. An uneasy, feelings crackles between them. She keeps the tray on the end table and turns to leave without saying anything. Arnav holds her hand to make her stop. She turns towards him slowly and comes closer with tiny steps. Rabba ve in piano plays in the BG to depict their turbulent mind. Arnav gazes down at her tenderly. There is a soft glow glimmers in his eyes. He keeps his hand on her arm and she just can't control herself any more, crushes on his chest with myriad emotions. She clutches him tight and tears escape from her eyes and rolls down her cheek leaving long shiny tracks in their wake. She cries with all her pent up misery finally finding a release. Arnav also muffles her trembling body in his arms, caressing lovingly. He holds her back with one hand and her head with another. He can feel her pain, her anguish, her turbulence. The reassuring strength of his encircling arms, makes her even more emotional.

"kiyu khwabo mei tere saye " the sad Rabba ve plays in the BG makes the moment more surreal.

Khushi lifts her head from his chest and looks at his caramel pools. Genuine trepidation is flashy from the hazel of her eyes. He also looks at her with eyes swirling with emotions too deep for her. He fondles her beautiful face and caresses her tendril gently as he is so longed to touch her like this. As an intense protective tenderness rushes through his heart, he lifts the fragile doll in his strong arms and strides towards the room. He knows she must be weak and tired after a strenuous vulnerable day. Khushi snakes her arm around his neck, tries to seek comfort in his nearness. Both just stare at each other with eyes full of emotion and myriad love.

Again I am repeating, how perfectly she fits in his arm, as if made for each other. Never saw such perfect looking couple in my life. May be that's why I still can't accept them with any body else.

Arnav crosses the threshold of the room carefully and even more carefully he puts her down on the bed as if the porcelain doll will break in mere carelessness.

After putting her down and covering her up with the comforter, he stands up to go back by the pool. He is tired, but his mind is so disturbed that the sleep eluded from his eyes, even after spending horrible two weeks in the hostage.

But Khushi holds his hand to stop him. She also needs him badly by her side. She knows how she spent the last fifteen days, when he left her in the crux of the moment of a terrible misunderstanding.

Khushi clutches his hand and pulls him towards her. He sits down beside her and again caresses her beautiful face and her errant tendril lovingly. He rests his palm on her creamy candent cheek and she holds it with her slender hand. His gentle touch comforts her so much that all her woes relegate to oblivion and drifts her into somnolence,

pause: I also wished if he would've lied down with her, snuggled close to each other. I'm not telling that he had to make love to her where he is terribly upset with his di, but it would be great if he would've spent some time with Khushi too.

Episode 292

It came as a surprise how good the episode was. And it also came as a surprise how sad I felt seeing Shantivan get shrouded in silence with ashanti seeping through.

Our hero was back. For almost three episodes there was high voltage drama. Shyam with his insults and insinuations, Anjali with her delusions, NK with his wide eyed innocence, mamiji with her preconceived notions, Payal after a long time fearless and taking a stand, Akash clueless as usual, nani watchful and mindful of tragedy. There was Khushi looking beautiful and tragic, speaking her mind, fighting to prove herself right, intensely human in these episodes. And there was ASR still in his ragged filthy torn vest and trouser combo that time and again reminds me of a fashion disaster. But he looked completely hot and at home in it, specailly when he slapped Shyam. Twice. Once for each of the women paramount to his existence.

The episode started with ASR grabbing Shyam's collar and dragging him to the front door. Literally, and not just figuratively, throwing him out. For close to three episode the hero who can't stand drama or anything even remotely galat was shown doing nothing. Now perhaps Barun is back to shoot full time or perhaps ASR has put his foot down and refuses to remain silent any longer. He has listened fairly and given everyone a chance to speak. It is time to do what he knows to be right. He denounces the unfaithful husband, declares he trusts Khushi and closes the shuts the on Shyam's face.

Anjali almost withers away in shock and denial while ASR rests his frame on the closed doorway, head bent. It has been a never ending ordeal. One that started much before the three episodes of unendurable silence, also before the days of kidnap. It had started the day a smiling hopeful man, in love for the very first time, had reached the terrace. To tell her wo baat.. because bas karni thi.. and instead he had seen his love in the arms of his sister's husband. The man whose judgement he had respected. And the man whom he trusted enough to let his di marry him.

But ASR is back in this episode. Minimum fuss and the depraved man who has hurt both di and Khushi has been removed from sight.

I cannot explain why the police weren't call. Could be to save di further pain. Could be that ASR wanted to deal with this thing as fast as possible and move on to more fruitful tasks, like making sure di is fine. Could be the story writers needed to leave a loophole to get the villain back if they needed it. Could be that ASR was too impatient to change, maybe finally have a cup of coffee and rest, to waste breath on a depraved Shyam.

On a serious note. I love how straightforward ASR is. "Di I am sorry, janta hun aapko bahut takleef ho rahi hai, but I trust khuhsi". His watchful intelligent eyes focus right towards his di. The one most affected by this revelation. I sometimes forget how young he is. How calmly he states he believes the veracity in Khushi. All those tears and accusations all around and here comes the firm statement. He know Khushi is speaking the truth. And I am very happy he does not explain more. It might have made it easier for others in the house to negate Shyam's allegations against Khushi if ASr divulged more details or laid forth more connections. However, even elaborating on Khushi's behaviour means there is a possibility that she has to be proven right. It appeals to me more that he takes it as a fact, no proof needed and no explanations given to prove it.

Di sways to fall. Not surprising that her chote is the first to react. Agile, alive as he sprints to her and catches her on time. A few days later as she will roll down steps he will sadly be too late. In tears the family crowds around an unconscious Anjali.

She opens her eyes and moves to sit up. And thus begin the scenes that move me to tears on every watch. Her hand stops her chote from providing her support. He understands and in this moment whom does his eyes turn to? Khushi. She is right there for him. Has noticed the way di distanced herself from him. Anjali looks completely in shock. Hurting acutely. In fact so much that she is almost in trauma. But even now my eyes are on ASR. How does Barun make me experience a wretched helplessness in ASR's silence and in his haunted tormented eye?

This is completely my point of view. But there are times when shielding someone from the truth is more detrimental than being a little strict and letting him face it. Mami, Akash even nani want to protect Anjali. In fact they all have forgotten that Arnav Singh Raizada has just returned freeing himself from his kidnappers, so wrapped up are they in the daughter of the house. But her much younger brother knows it is best to talk about what happened. She deserves to know and however tough it maybe, he will explain.

When nani asks for details, with disarming earnestness and respect ASR agrees... "jee nani". He will bear the brunt of the showdown and his decision. And though he looks dead tired, he will continue to fulfill each one of his responsibilities. But first he needs to talk to di.. "Please".. That "please" had me sobbing.

Everyone leaves, but a forlorn and extremely worried Khushi hesitates. I do empathize with her. Her biggest fear was what would happen to Arnavji and more importantly Anjali after knowing the man Anjali kept on a pedestal and worshiped was in reality the complete opposite.. twisted and depraved. That was the fear that had stopped Khushi of speaking of it when she had come to expose Shyam after she found his identity. Wish she had spoken of it then. Now not only is she instrumental in barring him from Shantivan, but before that happened he has also managed to deeply poison everyone against Khushi. Khushi, who needs everyone to be happy around her and with her, must feel awful to be the bone of contention.

ASR and Khushi steal my heart again. His gentle gesture for her to leave. He is aware of everyone's state and is taking utmost care. And with khushi there is a sense of right, his wife. They have just returned from that cliff after all! All other relations have some amount of formality, but with khushi he can be himself completely and unguardedly. She understands and leaves. I whimper some more.

Very nice dialogues in the scene that follow. He could not hide the truth any longer. And he told the truth, however painful, for the sake of his di and her unborn child. It must be one of the hardest acts, to know whatever you do, the one you love has to suffer nonetheless. The attention to detail. "isliye"..pause.."Shyam ko ghar se nikalne". No longer jeejaji, he is Shyam. His hesitation in changing the way he addressed Shyam shouts of all that the man has meant to not only di, but also ASR. A stellar performance as always by Barun. Though am crying at how the brother's heart will break I am still thrilled that our hero is back.

But Anjali is ASR's support too. In the earlier episodes when he missed ma he had rest his head on her lap. And today he does the same. He has not been able to protect her. Even his trust is broken. He knows both need each other. Beautiful scene of him lying on her lap and Khushi crying against the wall.

She has gone through hell herself and now seeing Arnavji broken, his di lifeless, the poor girls breaks down. As she continues her vigil outside the room, where the brother sister are, I am reminded of the very first time she witnessed this bond. The mandir where she had watched from far, surprised that the rakshas could care do deeply about his di. Three young individuals unaware of what travails life had in store for them in the days to come.

Anjali is shown remembering a man who was always good to her. Who must have married her when she might not have thought such happiness was even possible. Who had married her despite her limping foot, despite the fact that her marriage had broken earlier. In fact, as Sohara had pointed out, perhaps despite the fact that she is older to him. Anjali remembers her husband from the past 3 years (it it 3 years?) Who calls her rani sahiba and treats her like a princess. Makes her feel loved and special. The man she is about to have a child with.

Tough times make us discover startling insights about ourselves and the people around us. Always warring mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hold onto each other. The crass Manorma, who never misses an opportunity to jest about her strict sasuma, weeps into this mother like figure's lap. And her sasuma, who never had one good word for her bahuriya, lovingly pats her head in consolation.

Aakash, nani, mami all have shared a bond with the damadji of the house. And what strikes me in the flashback is how different Shyam looked. Thin. And less filmy. He was a believable weak character.

Troubled times also let us identify the true mettle in one's character. They tried hard to cover up Payal's strength under heavy jewellery, open hair and silk sarees, but today she has broken free in her sister's defense. She will also remain loving. NK has remained loyal and unshakable. Also very sensible throughout. Khushi and Arnav's love has forged a deep bond of trust that can withstand anything. Nani will understand, mami won't. Aakash has reasons to feel hurt. Still his reaction will be quite weak. We are what we truly are, when we are tested.

Usually I don't understand much of symbolism, but NK views the aftermath of the war. Krishna stands before me surveying the destruction evil left behind in its wake.

Destruction it is... Anjali slips her hand from her chotes grasp.. Chote who is no longer chote.. Circumstances has forced her to choose between her chote and her shyamji. One is safe and sound in front of her. And the other has been forbidden from her life. She has loved her Shyamji. And life has damaged her too. She might have been sunny and cheerful, but she was brittle inside. Remember the tears when he almost did not show up for teej? Today she chooses denial. And her anger and unease come out on the person who is the closest to her, even though she has forgotten that in this moment. Chote has become Arnav. And I notice her limp is even more pronounced.

He pleads. ASR is utterly helpless, and pleads. I cry some more. His voice... Vulnerable, a hint of panic, helplessness, was there a 14 year old here as well? His di is hurting and this once there is nothing that he can do to make it better.

Another telling gesture. Nani moves to console a crying Khushi, mami stops her. Akash starts to walk away from Payal. In a way he does have a right to be angry at Payal, still I feel bad for her. NK watches all, knows whose right, perhaps feels equally helpless. And after too long two sisters are there for each other.

Anjali has decided to live in denial because that is the only way she will survive. She does not have the strength yet to face life without her Shyamji. And given the shock who would think clear headed? So she does not reason that if she thinks Shyam is right that means ASR is gravely wrong. Is that possible? Would ASR play with his di's happiness? If only the haze of pain receded enough for her to see how much in pain her chote was too. But the writers have decided Anjali is to remain deluded, so there is no chance for her to slowly come to terms with the fact that Shyam was just not what everyone thought he was. Sadly there is no question of Anjali to connect dots, recollect discrepancies in Shyam's behaviour and loopholes in his stories.

A tender moments unfolds as husband wife are back in their room. He has finally changed. It feels good to see him in his sweatshirt. Khushi has also washed away the dirt and grime from the day, but the pain of the hurtling insults remains. Only the insults can't hurt, because Arnavji drove it away, and not before declaring, she is as important as di. Her respect means everything. That after everything he is safe, right here and he trusts her. Without proof, simply, steadfast, he believes her.

I wonder who thought of sending the cup of coffee? Was it HP's way of welcoming the man sorely missed? His way of taking a side. My thoughts are running to strange places, since each action, each frame seems significant today.

How is this man this flawless? how is his perfomance so stellar that it does not even seem possible? How is the music so soft and uplifting? How do the same makers who wrote the past two episodes know this is how the moment should play out. In a hushed gentle silence...

He is lost is thought, a dejected look on his face. And dark grieving irises that are shimmering with tears. A stance that speaks of how much he has lost in the few hours he has returned back home. Her hands shiver with nerves. Her eyes are downcast. He stood up for her. He is hurting badly because of his di. And Khushi considers herself the cause of all the discord and distress. She is almost hunched over, a wish to disappear, eyes brimming with unshed tears. Not sure how to approach him. Not sure if he even wants her near. Desperate to be near him.

When has ASR disappointed in moments like these? He is grandson, brother, head of the house. He has performed all his duties. But he is also a husband today.

👏👏👏👏

Infinitely tender towards his wife. The girl who saved him. The girl he almost lost to death and fought hard to bring back for himself. The girl he has misjudged and punished for no fault of hers. The girl whom he left to fight alone against evil while he stood silent and watched.

He needs her as much as she needs him. The symphony rises in as his hand reached out to stop her from leaving him. Never again... And she comes willing into his arms. Drawing him as close as possible. Flowing into each other, their bodies melding. She weeps in relief, in guilt for causing a problem, in empathy. His hand lovingly stokes her hair. A protective gesture. He will not let any harm come to her. He is strong for her sake, and her presence infuses strength in him too.

Their love has a positive reinforcement I feel sometimes that makes both strive to be better, happier and complete. in fact there is no need to strive. it just happens from the power of their love.

She looks fragile in his arms as he picked her up and cradled her in his arms. Lays her down, tucks her in and turns to leave to fight the darkness threatening to envelope his family. But, now her hand stops him. She still needs him. Don't go... plead her eyes. Specially not when I have just found you.. and when you are hurting and breaking inside.. Again I feel this gives him strength to bear the misery. A glimmer of a smile as he sits next to her. There are no words that can be said tonight. But his hand will lovingly cup her face, and she will snuggle into it sobbing and drift asleep.

I watch and cry a little hysterically. There is a moment he gazes at her, his head angled as he pushed away some strands of her hair off her face. I see love. And it is indescribable in it's absolute beauty.

I really find the color pallette they started using for his clothes drab. It was only that Barun could carry it. Earlier when he was supposedly stricter and harsh they gave him brighter shades and now when supposedly he is this loving husband they made him dress in dull colors. makes no sense.

Thank you for reading and liking my 292. happy that you liked the krishna thought. And also wiping away my tears. The guy manages to make us go through such profound emotions. a little of your grandfather, a little of all the heroes I have read about and a lot of just completely himself. one connects to him at so many different levels.

So you didn't like the episode too much..I liked this episode, specially the way he takes care of everything and how sad he is with the di situation... but my favourite comes next episode.. the smile as he teases Khushi.. I don't much like all this heavy handed drama.. IPK is best when it has hot bouts of exquisite anger and heartbreak and then even hotter flashes of ajeeb sanka crazy love.

episode-293

Gradually Khushi steps into a slumber, comforted by the reassuring warmth of Arnav's finger against her cheek. While Arnav gazes at her innocent face rendered almost angelic in repose, the leaden weight upon his heart gets heavier and heavier. Her face beholds a perfect mirror of tranquility. He slowly removes his hand from under her cheek and leaves the room.

Khushi actually didn't sleep, as soon as he removed his hand, she also opens her eyes. How can she sleep when her Arnavji is so much in pain!

Arnav comes out, Anjali's words are echoing in his ear drum,
Arnav, leave me alone."...her pain is piercing his heart severely and can't find succor.

He comes to Anjali's room to see and gets worried not to see her there. "where is di?" he checks nani's room and relieved to find her sleeping on nani's lap peacefully. Nani is lulling her beloved grand daughter, she gestures him not to worry.

Nani comes out with him after laying her down. She gave Anjali medicine, so she fell asleep. She is very anxious for whatever happened today, because of that Anjali got a deep shock. nani tells him to take rest as well.

Akash enters his room, looks livid. He is trying to be reticent with Payal. She asks him where did he go, she was worried. He replies sternly, that he went outside to spend some time alone. Payal tries to comfort him by holding his hand. She thinks, it's a bad phase is going on in their life and everything will be fine soon. Akash also knows this, but he doesn't want to be amiable to her, so he gets up. Payal asks him, why he is behaving like this? Akash reminds her the promise what she did with him just one day before their marriage; they promised not to keep a single secret from each other. Since then he has been fulfilling his promise, but she didn't. She kept such a big secret that now he just can't rely on her. Payal tries to make him understand the situation, what was different that time. But Akash is impervious, how can he believe her! His mind will be more doubtful now assuming what more secret she might keep from him! He accuses Payal for the unpleasant circumstance what happened today. If she would've told him before, then the situation would be different.

Again I'm saying, I really can't blame Akash for being so incorrigible and obstinate. It can not be easy for any husband to behave normally after hearing such a big secret.

Arnav is fluttering inside the house like a stranded ship. His anxious face is devoid of all traces of sleep. His mind flits back to the snippets of all the sweet days of him and Anjali. How she used to poke him and also took care of him. He recalls how she became upset with him and left the house went to the mandir. When he cried telling her, whether she also leave him like his mom, she tried to make him understand that she will not leave him ever. The precious memories of their last raksha bandhan pervade his thought and so many more. Her words reverberates in his mind...we should live our life to the fullest, cause we don't know what is the last day of our lives. And we should never let go our beloved person from our lives.

Her mother like advice, care and love what made him sane till Khushi came to his life.

His mind swarms with the thought of Anjali what makes him melancholic.

When he was immersed in avalanche of memory, Khushi comes there and sit beside him on the stairs. She looks at him; her eyes swirling with emotions too deep for him, as if asking is he fine? She keeps her hand on his shoulder and Arnav also looks back at her with a thoughtful expression in his eyes and her luminescent eyes trying to read his somber expression. Without uttering a single word he replies her with an assuring twinkle . That beckon is supremely superfluous and her heart encompasses with fresh reservation. Time stood still as both stare at each other for some moment. Khushi lays down her head on his shoulder and Arnav keeps his hand on her hand what is encircling his arm, the silent gesture to comfort each other. leaning on each other, both stays there for some moment, as if they found solace in each other's proximity.

I don't know does soul mate exist in real world or not. But to see the silent communication and understanding between Arnav and Khsuhi, I can guess what soul mates are!

Anajli is sleeping in her room. Nani again comes to check her. Nnai is just too worried for her weak grand daughter. nanis are like mothers. My nanijaan also takes care of me so much when she used to visit us in the US or whenever I visit her in Pakistan. She told me once that grandchildren is no less lovable than own children.

Khushi also comes there. She came to talk to her, but seeing her asleep she feels good, that she is taking rest, what is necessary for her. She leaves the room and Anjali opens her eyes as soon as she left. She pretended to sleep, she was actually awake. how can she sleep after what happened to her! Her whole world has tumbled down, shattered completely. She hides her face. Her heart and soul are stricken by devastating pain that wracks her whole body. The pain of agonizing loss threatened to break down the wall of restraint that she had built around it since after the horrible incident of that night.

I felt a terrible pang in my heart for Anjali. She lost so much in her life. her parents died an unpleasant death when she was young, her marriage broke on the very day; their uncle threw them out from their house, whereas they used to live in profusion Another unfortunate thing is she had to live her life with a limp. Though Arnav loved her more than a brother and protected her like a father, and her nani's family also loved her immensely, but still deception from the husband whom she loves so much is not easy to accept.

Arnav is still sitting on the stairs, when Nani comes there along with Khushi. She wants s to talk to him.

Nani tells Arnav and Khushi, that she still can't understand what just happened today,

So many things happened and she is not aware of any! She speaks in agitated voice,

"Till today, what damadji did for the family, thought of the family's well being, took care of the family, but he actually deceived Anjali, by feigning all this!"

She can't believe this. They heard so much today, so many allegations from all sides, all are deranging her, what she will think, what she will decide! She is in quandary; there are mlange of doubt crackling in her mind's cauldron.

"But I don't have any doubt in my mind. Lots of thing about shyam, I already knew." Arnav says softly with his huskier tone.

"What are you saying?" Nanii is in disbelief.

"Since Akash got married, Since I've been married to Khushi." his look veers to Khushi with compassion, "Haa nani, since then I came to know what a filthy man he is."

He recalls the wedding night when he found Khushi in shyam's embrace. He continues that the biggest mistake of his life he made on that night by not trusting Khushi's words, but asked him instead. He says nani emphatically about Shyam's disdain for anjali and what his filthy thought about khushi, that he was crazy in love with her.

Nani is having difficulty to believe their beloved SIL's true face. Arnav casts his look down and says with remorse that he made the mistake by misunderstanding that Khushi was also with him. But it was all his misunderstanding.

"The mistakes were all shyam's. Till now what he had been doing was just to win our heart to deceive us."

Pause: By saying all this to nani he actually confessed his guilt to Khushi and indirectly apologized to her. That's why when later he directly begged sorry to her she didn't want him to apologize. Arnav's measured words; his positive and supportive gesture towards Khushi, above all his sensibility amused me. This is the real Arnav who was lost for some episodes. And I'm happy now he is back. Although I became mad at him again,, for saying Khushi why she came to his life. But I also forgave him as I know some times people say the word in the spur of the moment what they don't mean.

Nani breaks down in tears for anjali, what she had to see! He broke her baby's heart.

Khushi dithers to see her in so much pain, she holds her, tries to comfort her. nani adds,

"She is physically here, but her heart is somewhere else. My baby literally died."

She starts to sob in pain again. Suddenly she gets afraid in anticipation, if it affects on her unborn baby! She will not be able to bear it.

"in this moment of family crisis we all have to take care of Anjali and for this we have to give her some time, whatever time is needed we have to give her."

She tells Khushi that her presence will remind her bad incident what happened to her. so it's better for Anjali if she stays away from her for some time. She feels bad to say all this to Khushi. Khushi is a very sensible girl, she understands the situation well. She says she will try to stay away from her. Nani caresses her face lovingly.

pause: I always say nani is a nemesis and a connoisseur as well. I absolutely agree with her, that Khushi's presence will bother Anjali, because it's bitter reality that Khushi is somehow responsible for what happened today. Albeit, if not Khushi, a characterless man like Shyam could be involved with anybody else. Unfortunately Khushi became the victim. This is such a weird sentiment of our Indian society that always women have to endure the wrath of any unpleasant circumstance.

A new morning arrived after a tumultuous day. In Anjali's room, she draws the curtain aside to welcome the sunny morning. But her face is pensive; she is not in her usual diaphanous expensive saree and jewelry.

Arnav comes there with breakfast. there is a rueful expression on his face. To alleviate her gloomy mood, he starts to recite their childhood poem,

"Toffee se mithi hai

Imli se Khatti hai.

Khatti meethi hai humari kahani

Anjali di hai sabse sayani."

Anajli looks reluctant. But she actually is convulsing inwardly, so to control her agony she shuts her eyes.

Arnav says meekly that now her turn. But she is still reticent. So aAnav says her words,

'papar ka tukda,

Jaab dekho ukhda

dete hai apni di ko asoo mote mote.

woh hai gussewale humare chottey.

Anjali is still taciturn. Arnav can't bear her reticence any more, so he comes to her and gives her a morsel,

"di thoda sa khalo humare liye."

Anjali walks across him and sits down on her bed, tries to avoid him.

Arnav can't continue manaooing his sister as he has to leave to answer the phone, what always rings at the wrong moment.

Khushi comes in their room with Arnav's medicine. She is looking beautiful and glowing in love as Arnav returned after a long time and as her husband in true sense.

Already started doing wifey duty!

I just loved her to see as a caring wife. Arnav really needs this care now, because his mental and physical condition must not be good after facing so many turbulent events what happened in last 15 days.

By the poolside, Arnav is talking on the phone with his lawyer Roy. Khushi comes there and he says her that he needs to go to office for some time. He doesn't want to but he has to go as he needs to change the will a bit, some clarification is needed.

What change man! Last time he willed all his property to Anjali. This time shayad he thought to give some in Khushi's name.

He turns to Khushi and to see her anxious face he asks her is she alright? She says she is fine, but what about him? If he doesn't take care of him then how he will manage! He didn't take his medicine also. Arnav says, his di also didn't have breakfast yet.

pause:Very bad Arnav, don't forget you have diabetes, so you have to take food at the right time. Cum on, you are a pragmatic man, why you are becoming so Anjali like emotional Look at Khushi, when she is sad she eats more.

Khushi tries to make him understand, If he doesn't take care of himself then how he will take care of anjali! HP told her that he didn't eat anything. She gives him medicine, until he is not taking his medicine, she will not let him go anywhere.

How can he say no to such caring order. He takes the medicine. Khushi wants to go now. But every times she goes Arnav blocks her way. Every step she takes, he also sways in that direction and also smiles mischievously. To see his mischief, her gaze falters a little and her cheek becomes a rosy hue as she blushes. A sweet smile glints on her face. Though he says sorry, but intentionally starts to flirt with her and she gets demur in coy. And smirks mischievously.
