Great Analysis Diya. I love reading your posts. My two cents ...
There was a change in ASR after he said sorry to Khushi...Not once but thrice and from the bottom of his heart ...he really felt khushi's pain and empathized with her. IMO that was the highlight of the week.
Thanks, hon! Yes, that was THE highlight of the week, and one of the major milestones of the story, I feel.
After that day he has restrained himself from shouting at her ...That's why the next day we see him shouting at La but when he sees Khushi hiding behind the bathroom door his expression changes immediately to hurt and he just cannot believe that Khushi would be the instigator behind La acting like a wife ...That's why he says 'I cannot believe this' and then says it was his mistake in thinking that Khushi would understand his lifestyle ...Deep in his heart he wants Khushi to understand him. He knows she has engraved her name on his 'non-existent' heart ...but he is going to fight it ...He is going to deny his own feelings for her ...He tells his di to ask Khushi to get out of his life..She has threatened his very foundation, very beliefs and he does not like it ...He wants to hide behind the hard shell he created after his parent's death so that he does not feel any pain of loss or rejection from the one he loves.
Yes, he definitely restrained himself from shouting at Khushi ... it was La who bore the brunt of his shouting for once! I think he's fighting unconsciously as of now ... he knows he doesn't want her to get any closer than what she already is.
When he tears the letter and throws it at her telling her that was his answer meaning even if Khushi tries to mend bridges between him and la, he is going to tear those away ...why?? because he does not believe in love and marriage and happily ever after ...he does not believe that two people could live their life together forever ...his own parents shaped that opinion for him (would love to know what happened in his past!)
Interesting take ... yes, very true ... the tearing of the letter and his burning bridges between himself and La ... we really NEED to know his past ... but that is not going to come out so soon at all! 😕
When Khush tries to push la's case in his office again, he knows that it is not la he wants but her khushi'and he definitely wants to test the waters'He tells her that at least he is truthful to himself and is not like her to pretend to be something he is not'I think here he wants to tell her that he knows she wrote the letter and not to pretend that she did not do it'He also says when she can tell the truth why is she not willing to listen to the truth'the truth about him and la's relationship being over, the truth about his and Khushi's changing equation'He is facing the truth that his feelings for her are changing but when is she going to face the same truth. Now, what is he going to do about it'NOT a damn thing'He looks at her after that 'truth' line as though telling her, 'I know it, you need to acknowledge it, but I am not into it'I want you to get out of my life and stay out' because'I am scared of being hurt'But I hurt you, you cry and I cannot bear to see the tears in your eyes'that is why when the screen freezes on Arnav we can see the remorse on his face. He will fight the feelings she creates in him but he just cannot see the tears in her eyes that he has caused'He is one complicated and confused soul and Ms. Khushi should have the patience of a saint to break down those impenetrable barriers to get to the real Arnav'.
That is the part which is puzzling me ... was he talking about himself and La, and that "telling lies" was about the letter which they both knew Khushi had written ... and her motives for doing so. Is it also about their changing equations ? ... I don't know ... but he definitely doesn't want that change, which is why he tells her to get out ... there I completely agree!
Great take ... thanks for posting!
