First he shouted at the kids asking them to be quiet and then turned towards her saying...
'And you, Khushi...' that is when he realised that he is seeing her after almost two days...
And she was about to retort back when she remembered she doesn't want him to see her.
The little boy Nikhil is infatuated by Khushi, he's being her hero, he didn't let Arnav come into the room and said Arnav is terrifying her. (how sweet)
The moment Khushi mentioned a prince in the story; Arnav's ear registered it and he started to listen in.
When she was about to proceed further, she noticed him; listening intently.
He was looking up with a face that said, 'smitten'.
He would remember her line from the story, 'How can it be that the beast and the prince are one and same? How can he change from a prince into a beast in a blink of an eye?'
When he was reading the kid's written deal Arnav's voice cracked in laughter. (he isn't all monster after all, a human with a sense of humour still lies there somewhere and BARUN, he is just great, having that little crack in his voice while reading the deal)
And Arnav Singh Raizada actually obliged the kid by signing the deal!!! Where was he hiding this virtue all these time?
He even looked upwards, rolling his eyes as if in this head he said, 'Bhagwan, yeh bachhe bhi na...'. He was almost remembering God in his time of need of patience.
Bhagwan, Arnav Singh Raizada ne aapko yaad kya, he doesn't know it but he actually did, aapki toh lottery lag gaayi!
And then the unthinkable happened, Arnav Singh Raizada messed with the kid and laughed...
AGAIN !?!
This would be the third time we've seen him do that.
What has the world come to, Arnav Singh Raizada obliging a kid then messing with him and as if he was on a roll; cracked up at his own silliness... surely Apocalypse is near enough.
Surely we won't be able to live with this much sweetness for too long.
He even reassured the kid about eating Harpreet the moment he gets his plants back! Am I missing something or ASR has a natural way with kids?
So, now they are exchanging letters between themselves, when will they know that they were deftly weaving a love story around them while being entangled in a different mess.
Btw, he mentioned Khushi as 'Sundari' to the kid, yah, we know, you stare at her all the time, she doesn't need a mirror on the wall to know how pretty she is.
And then came the (heart wrenching) twist in Khushi's tale, in the form of a single line, 'Jisski aapse shaadi hui hai, usse pariwon ki kahani mein biswas kaise ho sakta hai?'
