Episode 237
For a Moment
(Arnav and Khushi only)
I just love this episode.
This is the episode where I see Arnav softening to Khushi and her family for a moment. He knows he has hurt them. Of course the car's condition was not due to her and he has been an added expense to the family. Their honor is at stake here. He sees how they are struggling to pay the grocery bill and now takes it upon himself to show them he IS their son-in-law, an integral part of their family and he CAN help them if he wants.
Garima will try to mortgage some bangles and just as she is walking out the door the grocer comes with an abundance of supplies. Arnav Singh Raizada doesn't know how to do small; he is quite extravagant. They are all shocked but this is where he proves himself, in my opinion, he shows us he has a heart again and he wants normal food please!!!
This moment is then ruined by an insistent Khushi, who wants to hear him call her Amma, Ma.
I don't know maybe to feel like her marriage is real? It seems she is yearning for normalcy in her marriage. I truly don't feel it is an intentional taunt. Do you?
He just can't do it, he can't call anyone Ma...
His mother is dead.
The hurt so great he has carried into his adulthood and yes the hurt of your mother dying, in anyway and especially a suicide, pierces your heart.

After his outburst towards her, he goes into the bedroom very upset, frustrated, angry...hurt. Nothing is sacred at this point and he angrily pulls down the mosquito netting from the bed. He tries to avoid his thoughts by attempting to work on his computer.
She follows him inside and asks for his forgiveness it was not intentional. He stops her right there, BAS and as she tries to continue he gives her the hand- the sign to STOP... NO...MORE..
She doesn't know how he feels and then he hurts her by telling her he is staying here in this awful house. It all comes out.
Now she is hurt but she tells him that it's true this is how the poor people live sometimes no electric, sometimes no water and even sometimes no money for food, but they manage. She knows he is angry with her but she is angry too but never took it out on his family and never could but he...
With tears flowing she leaves with him calling her name. He feels bad (in my humble POV) about his treatment of Khushi and so his response is golgappe!

Feed her and make her happy!
Show her you care.
Garima and Buaji have made what looks like pakoras to me and he brings in a bag filled of those delicious balls that Khushi can fill some with something spicy, something sweet, something sour! He apologizes to them for what happened and they are all forgiving. Arnav is so vulnerable right now and this Gupta family embraces this hurt man blaming pagal Khushi.

Our relation doesn't change by the name you call me. Just beautiful.
She comes in and is so excited to see the bag of golgappe. Tears it open with her teeth and just about to eat it when she finds out Arnav bought it she drops it. She can't eat it if he is the one who brought it... never! She won't give in to him.
I love this next part, in fact this is one of my faves as far as episodes watching Barun play Arnav's vunerabilty was awesome. My heart melted!
As he is watching her pleasure in eating golgappe, his eyes soft and full of gentle pleasure as his wife gobbles them down. She has given in and he has compromised too. They have met half way for the moment. They have become a family for the moment.
