While watching Eps 1 again, I was wondering why destiny brought them together in their first and dramatic meeting when it did ! I mean look at the timing.
Having already gone through the episodes innumerable times we know now that the day was very important for Arnav. At long last he had succeeded in taking revenge against his,uncle. Today it was his turn to throw his uncle out of Sheeshmahal! And he did just that ruthlessly! This was the day he must have imagined so many times as he grew up as the ASR ! And now that he had achieved success...happiness, that sense of deja vu was missing. How come? He knew in his heart of hearts and Di pointed out to him as well that all this was meaningless. A wrong done by his uncle could not really be corrected by another uncompassionate, unkind move by Arnav. Why so? He had kept the fire of revenge burning inside him for years and he had destroyed his uncle in this fire at last! Yet that sense of satisfaction was not there today. Why? As he sat in his fashion show, he was restless somewhat, distant, preoccupied. Perhaps looking for answers to these questions and only coming up with more questions as he sighed deeply..what now! What was there to life for him now?, what goal! What purpose ? When will the hurt in his heart cease to cloud his eyes?
And the answer fell into his arms!!
If she had not occurred to him when she did I wonder where life would have led him? He would have remained the dhoop he had become...without her chhao...burning himself long and fast, yet remaining dark...
For Khushi, the timing was perfect too. She was overburdened with the sense of guilt, of the love her adopted family had given her. And now after her Jiji's marriage they would start looking for a groom for her! Her babuji would give her away in marriage. ...Kanyadaan, the biggest charity of all was yet to be performed and Khushi would definitely feel more overburdened than before. Likely she would feel the same sense of guilt when her husband loved her, took care of her, protected her...
She needed to break out...not to feel ever that she was living at the mercy of her adopted family, not to sacrifice her beliefs, her delights to bring smiles to their faces, that sense of guilt omnipresent...that had to go!
And with her Laad Governor she could do just that...be herself inside and outside without any guilt! Sprew anger as well as share her little joys and lurking sorrows with him as if it was the most natural thing in the world! She had every right to be loved and be cherished by him, it was her haq!
Indeed jodis are made in heaven by Devi Maiyya with perhaps some help from certain stars...who want to light the way and weave roses in the path of two fighters who refused to bow down to the obstacles life threw on their path...
The crackers burst in the background as he held her in an enthralling moment! Its time! Let the journey begin...
...Iss Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon?
