The Vow
Scene opens in Nani's room with Anjali in deep discussion about Nani's concern for Chote. Nani is upset that he is going to ruin his life, just like his father. She feels his past will destroy his future by walking in his father's footsteps and he doesn't even know it. She is concerned of how he took his wrath out on Kushi. She asks Anjali have you spoken to him and she answers with yes but he doesn't want to listen to her attempts at trying to make him understand. She lets Nani know in her sweet, but firm adorable way, that she has complete faith and trust in Chote's decisions since it is his life and his choice. She always has, they have made a Vow to each other since they were young. Nani Vows that Lavanya Kashyup will NOT be a bahu in this house.
In th GH Buaji is checking the table for lunch and is looking for the roti. She sends Kushi in to the kitchen to get it from Shyam who is playing chef again. I believe Buaji has an underlying motive here, always pushing Kushi towards Shyam. Kushi enters the kitchen and Shyam is on the phone having a very familiar conversation. He sees Kushi and abruptly ends the conversation with I have to go and hangs up staring at Kushi who appears lost. He explains he was on the phone with a client and she snaps out of it with"what?" She wasn't paying attention. She really never does. He hands her the roti.
RM- Everyone is standing around the dining table but Nani. Mami says Nani is on a hunger strike. They all run to her room with Arnav leading the pack.
GH- Shyam is still talking with Kushi as they are clearing the lunch table and he tells her I made all those snacks and you are still upset. She says it is nothing. He continues with that a lot has happened and I am sorry about praising Delhi and Kushi interjects with, "you can't dislike a city because of its people." They reach for the same platter, she lets go and he continues with you have to move forward, God made eyes in the front of our head so we look forward, we forget the past and we don't go backwards. (I think he may be talking about himself here). She says she wanted the job and he says, "So you made a mistake." "You have to live your life the way you want. Do whatever you want and always listen to your heart." Sometimes I don't know who Shyam is talking to, himself or Kushi. It seems he is taking his own VOW.
Nani's room at the RM. Arnav walks in to Nani's room and she looks away, he knows what is the matter. He asks anyway, "are you okay?" Everyone encouraging her to come and eat and she adamantly refuses. ASR says," Nani you are being stubborn" She retorts, "No, You are! You ignore my advice and do what you want." He answers with "it is not like that". She wants to know if they all should only accept what he wants and ASR replies with an answer that is well thought out and respectful. "I do not force anyone. I said I have the right to live my life as I want because I don't tell anyone else how to live their lives. If you can do what you want then why can't I?" Nani answers, "What do you mean that I don't want to see you happy? "I did not, Nani, you did." She says that he is behaving like his father but its not his fault it is in his blood. He made a mistake and you are repeating it. Arnav says not to bring his father into this conversation. We can see ASR 's blood starting to boil. She continues with he did as he wanted and the whole family came apart. She Vows "I will not let that happen in my house!" And so it begins, Arnav says in a nut shell that he will leave Nani, the house and everyone. So both can live in peace. His sister says what are you saying? while Nani says where will you go'to her? Miss Kashyup? He answers with his back turned, "Yes. I will go to her. I am going to stay with her." During this dramatic scene ASR does not look at Nani during their conversations, he turns his back, almost as if he doesn't want to hear the truth or see it. We can see that he doesn't really want to go to Lavanya's because he loves her but to escape from the accusations of being like his father. He doesn't want to marry this girl, he doesn't want to take Vows with her, but he WILL leave his home to live with her without commitment and to live in peace for she doesn't pressure him. Maybe she doesn't make him FEEL.
GH- Shyam's in puppy love. He is constantly drooling, oh I mean staring, at Kushi. He takes the plates from her and says maybe your worries will go away but no tears. So he leaves to take the dishes in to the kitchen. Kushi continues to clean up when Shyam's phone rings'Kushi calls him..."Shyamji'.Shyamji'" No answer. She looks at the phone and it says Rani Sahiba is calling. She picks up the phone in her hand and suddenly it is snatched away by Shyam. He answers his phone, makes it a quick call and hangs up. She asks him about a relation with the Queen and he says he takes care of her legal issues.
In ASR room. He is angry, fuming hearing Nani's words in his head about his father. He shoves his clothes in an overnight bag while seeing a past memory. Something terrible happened in his life that he just doesn't want to face. He picks up the bag and walks out the door only to be stopped by his "older" sister. She says come with me'"Di"'she is not saying it twice'she laid down the rules. She is his elder and he WILL listen. She brings him to Nani. She looks, sees he is already packed and asks,"does this means he is leaving and before he makes his mistake he wants my blessings?" ASR says he doesn't expect any from her because she thinks he is wrong. She certainly does! He again looks away from her, his eyes not making contact with her, "I will never live in a house where I don't have the freedom to live my life." "Bas/ Enough." says Nani. "Are you forgetting who you are speaking to?" He looks into her eyes, "I am sorry, but I think you have forgotten that the person you are talking to and want to make decisions for, is already an adult." Anjali interrupts the two. Enough! With tears in her eyes she begs them to stop. It is Teej holiday tomorrow, her husband is coming home, and can they please postpone this discussion until after the holiday. "Won't you stay?" Nani and Chote both look at each other, back and forth they silently acknowledge a truce for Anjali. He relents, "OK". She says Nani," I will bring you food". Nani relents, "OK."
Anjali is in their home temple and on the phone with her husband. He reassures her he will be home tomorrow. Arnav comes and sits in front of his sister. 'Are you still mad at me? " She answers yes but that it is better now that she spoke to her husband. He brought her juice which he already knows she can have. She is fasting for Teej and he has looked up the "rules". "Allowed", he tells her. She asks him if he works for her husband as a spy? He asked her if she had eaten. She says he loves her very much and she is so lucky to have him. She lights the lamp. She says you know of the circumstances of the marriage, how he accepted me. He always makes me happy but I always worry something may go wrong... Arnav stops her.
He makes THE VOW. "Di, I am with you. I promise I will never let any harm come to you in your life and as long as I am with you no evil can touch you. You are my world! I can overcome anything just to see you smile."
The wind blows... the lamp's flame flickers... the brother first, then the sister...
hands united... shield it's glowing light from extinguishing...
