Episode 40
He Is Near
Slide of hand, a gust of wind, a grasp, holding on for dear life, this man who can't keep his eyes off her (ever), gently places her arm around his neck, lifts her into his arms and carries her, hair flowing and with her saree draping protectively over her body he walks away with her. Thank DM for he is near!
Di and Akash are standing in the temple as Payal walks in. Akash sees her and whispers Payalji? Payal carries the thaal and brings it to Anjali asking forgiveness. Mami in the background snides she doubted her from the very beginning after all she lives in a small house. Look where she comes from. Di asks about Kushi and she says she is looking at the bracelets. Why don't you stay here for pooja Di asks and Akash is happy when she responds with a nod. He loves being near to Payal!
ASR is sitting on a bench with Kushi who is still unconscious. He has water in a cup and is trying to revive her by splashing water on her face. "Kushi" he calls her. She stirs after hearing her name a second time and the bell has rung at the mandir. He raises the cup to her lips and breaks her fast. He stands up with the cup in his hand and she then realizes her fast has been broken without finishing her pooja. "What did you do?" She yells at him. He gets annoyed, you know he doesn't believe in all these rituals but he answers with, "I didn't know that you were…. "(fasting?) "You were unconscious!" (justification) She tries to walk away asking DM forgiveness but stops, feeling dizzy again and he is near to hold her and this time she holds on to him too! Rabba Ve…. Eyes meet, this man so near to her, she can feel his breath and the warmth of his body on her skin. So close, he is near. She swallows. (He says to her something but the translation did not make sense to me so I will use my own interpretation….Only speak and go when you are ready. Maybe? Help me out here girls). She realizes their closeness, notices his hand on her arm holding her, supporting her. She sees her hand grasping his suit on his chest, she let's go and only then he too lets go of her and she steps back, away from his nearness. He rolls his eyes and looks away knowing how uncomfortable she is. She reaches for her dupatta but she is not wearing one, she has on a saree, but you can see she feels exposed by him and all his male nearness. She walks away. He watches her go but he always will be near.
Back at mandir, Payal is lighting the lamp with Akash looking on. He is so smitten it's adorable. He loves being near to her just to gaze upon her lovely face! Lavanya and Mami are in the background and Lavanya mutters who is this Mother India? Mami hears and is hysterical she says she is Kushi's sister and La responds, "Chamkilli?" Mami calls Kushi torn sari. Mami tells Lavanya she is good at naming things and she comments on her sleeveless, transparent outfit. Akash is still near and watching Payal. She opens her eyes and sees him both are embarrassed. Kushi comes to the temple followed in by ASR. Payal asks if she is okay. She says she is fine. Payal notices her thaal. Kushi goes to Anjali and apologizes for taking her thaal. Anjali says she thought it was lost and Kushi assures her she took care of it (just like Arnav she will always take care of Di. She too will be near). Di says you don't know how much this means to her and now all she has to do is wait for her husband. He must be near.
Meanwhile, Shyam calls Buaji to find out if the girls are home yet. Is something wrong Buaji asks and he says no nothing like that. He hangs up. What is he going to do now?
In mandir Arnav and Kushi gaze at each other. Di asks Kushi to stay and finish her pooja here because it already is dusk. Payal agrees and says to Kushi that they will stay because she doesn't look good and in her condition better to not go too far. Akash agrees with Payal. Di agrees. Kushi looks at Arnav again. Arnav says to Di to start the pooja, he loves his brother in law, Di says "Chote please!"
On the road to mandir a silver car is driving…we don't see the driver
Kushi's phone rings and it is Shyam. He tells her to finish fast because she will have trouble finding a taxi. Kushi agrees with Shyam.
ASR
calls his brother in law and hands the phone to Di. She says come quickly, he says he already
lives in her heart and I am very close to you…. The silver car parked outside
the temple. Pooja begins...
He is near…..
we saw his reaction to her when she walked up teetering on high heels and awkward, for the first time in a sari. he was pretty calm, a bit amused, perhaps a little indulgent toward the girl who made such a lot of effort for him. he found her pleasing to behold in her new gear, but it didn't make him hear the breeze and a refrain reaching up for the eternal. it didn't catch him, pull him right in, make him do things he had never done before. 
she wants to make everyone happy. sometimes even interfering where she oughtn't, yet, every time he isn't there when she expects to see him, a heavy blanket of sadness chills the air, burdens her heart. she needs her husband for her own sustenance, and somehow it feels terrible to see her so despondent.
