"Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again."
Alex Tan
Todays episode for the first time had depth , Each scene having a bearing , a meaning and every meaning worth its weight ...Today was a episode which showed parallel lives of two people whose lifes went off on a different trajectory after a earth shattering event which completely gutted their way of life ...Today they again lived through a nightmare, felt the same emotions and realized that days/Years have rolled by but yet they were as helpless as puppet in the hands of fate ...One was Arnav and another was Payal ...Arnav had wrought havoc in Payal's life then, the reverberation of which are being felt even now , Payal's sister sent Arnav into a spiral , where his darkest fears of the past , a past which he had said had no hold on him , claimed him back again ..he relieved those moments again !! ...Kudos to Barun Sobti, Daljeet and Deepali ..they were at their best !!
The episode opened with a beautiful conversation between ARHi... The Gupta's have discovered that they have forgotten to fetch the Ghee from their house, Khushi the vigilant warrior immediately volunteers to get it but wiser head Buaji does not want to send a young girl alone , before anyone can say anything, NK pips up and offers his escort service , Khushi's first reaction is an expectant look turned towards Arnav, hoping that he will offer his service but before Arnav can even open his mouth, Anjali gives the green signal, A not so happy Khushi dutifully leaves with NK but not before glancing in a rather angry disappointed mode at Arnav..Unable to meet the accusation , Arnav blinks away but the second her angry back turns, his eyes glue to her every movement , watching rather fumingly, helplessly as Khushi leaves with NK, while the havan's fire rises gulping the ghee and growing in strength, it finds itself unmatched to the raging fire burning in Arnav's chest ...
I loved Khushi seeking Buaji's permission before leaving with NK, the shot of burning fire when Anjali and Nani are praising themselves for sending NK with Khushi...Kudos to the CV's for keeping their wits and not allowing ASR to degenerate into a fool.. Like a Possessive lover that he is, He begins to call Khushi within a span of few mins... realizing that Khushi has not taken the phone, his sharp mind quickly jumps to the fact that Nk has and he begins to dial Nk's number only for it to ring continuously..Anjali is sent there to provide a logical explanation and giving the reason why the two will be incommunicado for a while also giving a credible reason for Arnav to go on his chase ..👏👏
Arnav is out on the streets , having searched the Gupta's house, he turns back, quite tensed by their disappearance, his ire building up ..he comes across a barricade , discovers that there has been a accident , a tiny niggle of fear ,a dash of anxiety, an premonition of something amiss sends shivers up his spine ...Arnav slowly rises his window glass to shut himself again, when he spies the broken bangles, eerily similar to the one that Khushi was wearing..Arnav knows apprehension then !..without a thought, Arnav just hurls out of the Safari, picks up the bangles , His Mind begins to whirl and process as his eyes take in the broken glasses, spatters of blood , Panic assails him , with fear giving flight to his legs,A distrait Arnav hurries to the roadside bystander , politely seeks to know about the accident, The irritated bystander boorishly retorts that there were 2 causalities a Boy and a girl... Arnav , a rude man who has never been polite in his life to strangers is so shocked that he is actually quite well mannered and so great is his terror that Arnav does not even take umbrage when the stranger is obnoxious to him .. An appalled Arnav gets further jolt when he is told that the ambulance is carrying the injured girl .. On seeing the doors of the ambulance closing , Arnav begins to move his leaden legs , one step after the other, soon it becomes a full fledged run for life as he chases the Ambulance as if his very life depended on it and in a way , his life did depend on it ... His chase is cut short as he trips and falls over a slipper.. Arnav recollects that this was worn by Khushi , He immediately rolls up ..what a change in a man , a man who could never tolerate a wisp of dust on his attire is now least bothered about it as he rolls on the road,He again runs out after the ambulance carrying the accident victim... Arnav runs behind the ambulance, desperately trying to catch it , fear giving him the adrenaline to chase despite his fatigue, despair providing the resolve to hare after the van inspite of being almost shattered ..But how long can an emotional, high strung man keep up with a unemotional , mechanical beast, his lungs give out and Arnav finds himself all alone in that darkened road , his beacon of light, his ray of happiness being taken away from him probably for eternity ...Arnav stands there in the middle of deserted street, deserted by his courage, his clear mind, his intelligence , his detachment..Arnav stands there , a crushed man , a man gasping for his breath , gasping for his life, appearing to be aged by 100 years , eyes holding the first hint of defeat , of hopelessness, wretchedness in them..Arnav stands there naked in pain , raw anguish etching every creases of his face as the armour of ASR is stripped away and yet he stubbornly clings on to her ..he obstinately holds on to her bangle not letting go of it , of her..unable to accept the truth, refusing to accept the obvious truth ..Arnav stands there a the agony of the past, the anguish of the present begins to torture him, begins to claw him with their sharp talons...
Arnav finds himself alone , fighting his demons , seeking some support , finding none , trying to hold on to his emotions , teetering unable to bear the burden of his woe, staggering , blinded ,eyes raw with distress and unshed tears , so strong is the grief that Arnav , that polished speaker is not even able to gasp out a name and is reduced to mumblings , His mind taking him back to the past when he declared that SHE did not even exist for him ..A lie that has come back to haunt him,torture him, taunt him as his very existence lies in her existence.. his very breath is dependent on her every heart beat , his small smile is dependent on seeing her radiant face , for she is his world, his soul , his conscious, his being, His eve without her he is a shell, a hollow shell ..unaware of his actions, he presses on the sharp edge of the bangle , cutting himself,drawing blood but it is no match for the muted heart rending cry of his heart as it calls out for his love , his light, his khushi ..Arnav stands there, alone, anguished, , defeated by the cruel fate ...
