The Battle Begins
Nani asks Anjali how the pooja went. Anjali exclaims, "Kushi and her sister were there!" At the sound of her name ASR looks up and Shyam drops the platter of jalebi, everyone is shocked. Anjali concerned asks," Are you okay?" and he answers fine just thinking about work. Mami says just the mention of her name makes everything go wrong! ASR then hiccups! Is someone thinking about you? Mami thinks it is Ms. Kashyup. This starts a small battle of words between Nani and Arnav. Nani says she can think all she wants but he isn't going to think about her! ASR jumps up and angrily answers, "Nani do we have to do this now? Everyone is here, my jiju just came home but you insist by being stubborn to repeatedly talk about it. Can't you forget it for a few days?" Nani answers no because he will continue to be with her. Shyam asks Arnav to sit down. Arnav turns to him and says he can't stay there and walks away as Anjali is begging him to have breakfast. Shyam asks what has happened since he has been gone and Mami starts the "flashback". The battle has begun!
GH- The girls are folding laundry and Payal says to Kushi she doesn't think anybody can help the situation with Buaji's pension. Kushi tells her that Shyam will try. An idea pops into her head why not sell Buaji's sarees. Payal says to go to yhe Raizada house first after all she knows them and they can make money there! Kushi jumps up and scolds her sister saying that she always reminds her of that demon. Doesn't she want her to be happy or she wants her to worry and make jalebi. Payal reminds her that the stores of food are low in the house. Kushi will battle her thoughts of that Rakshas!
Chote, Anjali and Shyam are having a conversation when Chote says he has thought enough. He believes nobody in this house has the right to make the decision for someone else. He wants to live his own life and he doesn't want to label his relationship with Lavanya. He doesn't believe in marriage. Shyam says he is stressing too much about it. He should look at it from another point of view. It is his and Lavanya's life and if he doesn't want to get married then don't. Both Anjali and Arnav are surprised at that statement but Shyam nods to his wife as if to say "it's okay, watch and see". The preparation for battle is just beginning. He tells him to think about it. What would happen if he left the house? Just a little while ago he said it was nice to have breakfast with the family and he agreed to wear the sacred thread. Why? Because it is a relationship and being part of a family and without that one is empty. Arnav wants to know why does he have to name this relationship and why does Nani not want to accept Lavanya? Shyam answers because she is Nani and has different thoughts. We can not simply change her mind because you have grown up. Chote feels like she is choking him and he wants to live his life his own way. Shyam's response is there are many different ways to solve this your way but I have a way. And so the strategy has been planned, let the battle begin!
Nani, Anjali and Shyam are talking. She adamantly says she will not allow Lavanya to be bahu in the house. Shyam says that the word "never" is the culprit of all the problems. Nani says to him," you speak as if everyone will listen to what I say." He answers with that she is listening but the word never has great power over us and that is why Arnav is so angry. She wants to know what she should do. Aahh, so the plan is in action'He lets her know that the whole house is behind her and will always support her decisions. Mami pops in asking if she was invited to this secret meeting. Shyam the mediator always says join us because your opinion is important. She is very happy now and he must be one hell of a lawyer! He continues to say that we all want Arnav to marry and Mami chimes in that she needs for that to happen quick because her Akash..Nani says first Chote then Akash. Battlefield! Watch out! Shyam reminds Nani that Arnav is from today's generation but whatever the results we need to make a quick decision so we can be the ones to decide. Have Lavanya come stay in the house for a few days. Both Mami and Nani are shocked, without being married? Better here than there and at least they would be able to keep an eye and mold Lavanya to the way they want. They can then shape their relationship with her influence. He gives Nani something to eat and drink another ploy in battle for trust in him. Times have changed, you will do what's best. Trap has been set will she fall into it? War can be dirty. Nani finally says I don't agree but I trust in you! Big mistake. You have just lost the battle or has she?
Kushi is pacing back and forth confiding in her best friend DM. She tells her there is not a single moment that I don't worry; that demon is always on my mind. Why does this happen? Why does she feel that something has been left unsaid between them? She feels as if she has forgotten something. The battle in her head has begun and it would just end if she climbed over the hill and would surrender to her love. She continues to say she feel the same as when she forgot her lunch at home. The whole day she thought about it. She compares her feeling of loss to forgotten food. She LOVES food a lot! She then realizes she has forgotten her DM statue at the office. OMG!!! She must go get her. She is entering the battle.
Shyam and Anjali are talking as she is massaging his head. She tells him she thinks Nani is right about Lavanya and Shyam wants to know then why is he fighting for Lavanya. Di answers because she wants Chote happy. He tells her he is lucky to have a wife. She tells him he has a way with words. He apologises because he can't give her much and she says all she wants is his love and words of love. Arnav comes in and Anjali says he should thank Shyam for what he has done and he gifts Shyam with a watch set. Shyam says a bribe for what I have done? Anjali is excited to see a watch for herself and he says it was a set he liked the one for his brother and this one came along. She calls him a horror and shows his real face when his jiju comes home. Shyam says he knows who his ally is. They will work together in this battle! The watches are very nice and Anjali places it on Shyam's wrist as they are having a moment Arnav smiles happy that his Di is happy. Arnav says he knows how time is very precious to them and so that is why he gifted them watches. It will always remind Shyam to spend as much time as possible with his sister and a reminder of how she is waiting for him. Shyam says to Anjali that he should take Arnav to court with him because he is very good at fighting arguments. Arnav tells Di he is going to the office. " On Sunday?", she asks. I work he answers.
Kushi runs out and tells Buaji and Payal she must go to the office for she forgot the Goddess statue . Buaji is crazed and asks her how many more defects does she have? She is a glutton, she is forgetful, she changes her behavior at a drop of a hat'. Payal asks if ASR will be there. No it is Sunday only the guard will be there and she should be home I a jiffy. She says again he won't be there! Payal says okay but come home quickly and Kushi asks Buaji," Can I "and goes. I hope she is wearing her armor.
ASR calls Lavanya and tells her to pack her bags he will send a car tomorrow to pick her up and bring her to the RM. She is so excited jumping up and down! "Are you serious? Me in your house? What do I do and not do? What do I wear or not wear?" Arnav tells her he doesn't have to change and to stay as she is. She thinks that it's so sweet he has said this to her and asks him,"You love me as I am?"
By this time he is in his building and walking past Kushi's desk. He sees the statue of DM, phone still at his ear. His eyes drawn to her statue, her desk , her things, images of her in his head, and he says to Lavanya, "Yes, I LIKE you the way you are." She tells him she loves him. He ends the call with he arrived at work and he will call her later. He looks again at Kushi's desk not able to continue up his stairs'he likes her just the way she is'.Interrupting his thoughts his employee asks what has happened. He says nothing and tells him to send all those things to the person they belong to. Oh, Miss Kushi? Yes, send them to her address. He continues to his office. Who is he battling now?
Buaji is on the phone with Shyam he asks how is she and she says how could she be she has grown accustomed to you and I miss you. He asks about Kushi too? She tells him Kushi went to the office to collect her things. He is baffled mumbling Arnav at the office too' Buaji asks him what did he say and he says he has work and he has to go he will call later and they hang up.
ASR Designs'the battlefield' Kushi slowly walks in as if she is crawling on her stomach trying not to get shot during the battle. Hesitant she stops at the door, images of him ripping her dupatta off his car, her shield (as we all have mentioned!) her armor, dropping her from his office as she landed on to the boxes below, telling her to "Go change" while throwing the tiny blue dress at her'all these memories of that demon. The one she can't stop thinking and dreaming about. She gains courage and pushes open the doors, using both her hands (strength) and walks in nervously. She stops. Does she sense something? She tells herself not to be scared, there is no one here. It is Sunday and Laad Govenor cannot possibly be here.
The strategies for all have been planned and now are to be executed. The battlefield has been readied and all are suited up with as much ammunition as possible.
The Battle Begins'.
