Episode 47
Dil (heart) vs. Dimaag (mind) is battle that can become quite intense, especially when the two want completely separate things. But like any other battle, one must emerge a winner
For Arnav, this battle has been quietly raging inside since Khushi's started to matter, perhaps since the calender shoot, regardless of when it started, it intensifies now as he roots for his dimaag. On one hand Lavanya, the girl that his dimaag picked out is moving in today and on the other hand Kushi, the girl that has found her way into his dil, refuses to move out. now he needs to take control of the outcome. Looks like it will be a looong battle.
This morning when his Di found him, he was overfilling one of his plants with water and his dimaag was nowhere in sight. From the looks of his his face, his dil was doing all of his thinking. Once again unable to find any peace within, in his beloved peaceful garden on this beautiful peaceful morning.
Evidently he still hadn't recovered from what seemed like a nightmare in which Khushi told him she was leaving for good, that he wouldn't have to see her face again and she told him to be happy about it? He jumped up at those very thoughts, but unfortunately it wasn't a nightmare, it was real. Somewhere he knew, a part of him already couldn't live without her...the "dil" part of him. Something tells me he's been up since the moment he jumped up, those thoughts drove him to his garden, which doesn't seem to be helping.
Flashbacks of them together in that storage room, how vulnerable she looked while he held her dupatta and how much pain he was in when she was crying, his undeniable need to make it all ok for her.. but then those awful words that took his sleep away last night:
"Hamaari shakal dekhna nahi chahte na aap? to khush ho jaaiye, kyu ki hum aapki nazron se hamesha ke liey door ja rahe hai. (you don't want to see my face right? then be happy, because i'm leaving for good)"
"yaar, yeh to mujhe kyu farq pad raha ha?" ah so he admits farq pad raha hai and that too this early on "sochna nahi chahta, bhoolna chahta hoon, phir baar baar ussi ka khayal kyu? (don't want to think about her, then why do i keep thinking of her?) [love the honesty in the tone of his voice, he is being honest to himself here, why is this making a difference? why do i keep thinking about her even i if i want to forget? ]
Anajali walks in stopping her brothers unintentional water attack on the poor plant. With concern she asks "kya soch rahe ho (what are you thinking)?"
"kuchh nahi (nothing)i" he answers but the look on his face speaks volumes. He knows he's in deep, he is in love. you could even hear it in the soft tone of his voice.
Anjali, dissatified with his answer, insists on a one-on-one chat."you look anxious, is it because of La?" She got a quick answer back "DI please!" ya Di, as if La could ever bug him this much! She goes on "Are you happy?"
alerted he answers "With who?" almost wishing Khushi's name would come up.
Anjali just wants to know if he is happy with all the decisions he's making regarding La and not doing it just to show off Nani. Arnav is apalled at Di's question "Do you think i would do such a thing just to show Nani?"
[maybe this trait is just in his system and he doesn't even realize that every time Nani challenged his relationship with La, He threatened to leave this house]
Anjali doesn't hesitate to answer his question, "yah, i known you since you were this tiny, even back then your ego used to huge" she gets a look from her brother
but she's not scared, she knows him too well "aise ghoor ghor ke kya dekh rahe ho hame? hum jaante agar tumh koi challenge kare ya tumhari baar na maane, to tumhe bilku pasand nahi. Aur vaise bhi, tum jab ghusee mein hote ho na, tumhara dimaag band ho jaata ha...hamesha ghalat faisla let ho aur baad mein pastaate to (What are you looking at< i know if someone challenges you or doesn't listen, you don't like it, and when angry you brain stops functioning always making the wrong decisions and regretting later)"
"enough Di" Arnav irritated " i don't let my ego make all my decisions, this is my life, that means others shouldn't interfere, and if this is the biggest decision of my life i stand by my word that La is absolutely the right girl for me, she has always listened to me, we have similar outlooks on things, i'm not interested in marriage and neither is she and she understands me."
a rebuttle from his sister right away "aur tum? tum apne aap ko samaj te ho? decisions like these are made with heart, not head"
Arnav apoligizes but points out that's the difference between them " i don't make any emotional decisions" [hmmm sure about that one Arnav? what about sending Khushi to the guest house because you were mad she was everywhere in ur life? ]
"Pyaar to dil se hi hota hai...aise naap tol ke nahi hot (you can only love with heart)"
Aanjali goes on to describe Love, unknowingly she describes his dil ka haal (state of his heart )
"ki jab aap usse dekho to uske chehre se nazar hi na hatte (when you see them, you cant remove you gaze from them),"
Arnav thinks of her in red. and him, hypnotized
"agar woh udaas ho to kuch be accha na lage (if they are say then nothing feels nice)"
He thinks of her tears that cause him so much pain
"Usse door jaane ka khayal bhi aapko pareshaan kare"
Khushi's voice echos in his ears "Hemsha ke liye aapse door jaa rahe hai (I"m leaving for good)"
He stops himself afraid his face might give away his little secret. If only she knew the kichdi cooking in that dimaag of his, she would be doing cartwheels.
"Di, i don't want to waste my time talking about this"
Anjali continues to bug him "one day you will like wasting your time"
Yah Di, kyu ki aap ke hisaab se woh ladki aayegi jisse dekh kar mein sab kuch bhool jaaunga, jiske aane ke baad etc etc etc can i go now (yah Di, because according to you, that girl will come, and i'll forget evrything after seeing her etc etc can i go now)? " 🤣
Hold the sarcasm ASR, that's exactly what happened, you forget everything when she's around don't ya?
" Ek aur baat Di, Agar mer zindagi mein aisi ladki kabhi aa bhi gayee na, to mein usse door hi rahunga, kyu ki mein apni zindagi dimaag se jeeta hoon, dil se nahi" hinting that he knows she's here but now he needs to do what he can to flush her our of his system with this
Anjali still won't give up on love for her little brother "woh tum kar nahi paaoge (you won't be able to)"
"kyu (why)?"
"because if you go far from her, tumhari saansen ruk ne lage gi"
"you are unbelievable Di, I mean saansen ruk jaayengi? i gotta go now, varna aap ki baaten sun ke meri saanse ruk jaayengi (you mean i'll stop breathing? gotta go no, or else i'll stop breathing listening to you)"🤣
A scene surely to get laughs thanks to ASR's dimaag and witty sense of humor but little does he know, one day he would pour his heart to his Di, and admit that she was right, "woh ladki Khushi hai Di, jiske bina mujhe lagta hai ki meri saansen ruk jaayegi. (Khushi is a girl without whom I feel like i can't breathe"
For now, Di has to be patient
Across town, Kushi is lost in her own battle of dil vs. dimaag while she helps Payal with rotis. Interestingly, Khushi, who always thinks with her dil otherwise, uses her "dimaag" when it comes to him. Her heart is sending her brain signals of her connection with him but her brain doesn't want to listen, just like she refused to listen to him,
Instead she used her dimaag to push him away in that storage room too. She first got him to knock down the door giving him false hope of hearing him out, and then she lied to him about going to Lucknow hamesha ke liye...Not to mention provoking him every chance she got!
Now her heart is feeling guilty with some regret thrown in, as she quietly rolls the rotis and thinks back to Arnav asking her "let me finish!" and him handing her the dupatta, her respect.
This is similar to the way she felt after resigning, hurting him, leaving him and in the process hurting herself, only this time she was more aware of what she is doing. She did turn her lie into truth convincing Payal to go back home to Lucknow, anything to get as far away from him and from these slew of unknown feelings.
"KHushi" payal briefly brings her back, Khushi without thinking, as her dil and dimaag are occupied, just blurts out an answer, "Haan, jiji ticket ho gayee hai, aaj din tak hamaare paas pahuch jaayegi, sham ki train hai na? (Yes Jiji, the tix will get here today, the train is in the evening na?)"
Payal is seriously concerned about her little sister as she asked for "ghee" and nothing about the tickets. She has to find out why she's so upset and the rash decision to go back?
"kya sach mein tum woh hi kar rahi ho, jo tumhe karna chahiye (are you sure you're doing the right thing)?"
"haan jiji (yes jiji)!" khushi fights to bring a smile
"Sach (really)?
Khushi tries to think how she'll escape that question, luckily is saved by the bell as the phone rings. Its Garima, giving Khushi the bad news that their sweet shop was lost because they couldn't get the money in time.
"Kya?" tears appear out of nowhere [the amount of emotion displayed here in that one question by Sanaya is clap-worthy.]
KHushi asures her that they are on their way. If she wasn't sure before,she is now about going back and being there for her Bauji. After she hangs up she tries to be brave while telling Payal, but in the midst, she just needs a hug. In her family everyone looks to her for solutions, but turmoil was already running from her dimaag to her dil, the poor girl could only handle so much.
couldn't help but remember a line from an all time fav song from the movie "Hum hai rahi pyaar ke"
"Ek masoom dil hai, aur sitam hain kitne Is mohabbat ke siva, aur bhi gam hain kitne (one small heart but so many attacks, there is lots of sadness other than this love) "
Still in her sister's embrace, "our sweet shop jiji" she gathers her courage and comes out of the embrace and her dimaag takes over,
"Chalo jiji, we have to go back ASAP, amma was crying, and bauji seemed upset too, he was hiding it from us, you know him right, we have to go and get the money to get the shop back"
"Ab hum kya karenge Khushi? (what are we going to do)" Payal turns to her dependable sister
Khushi concerned, "I don't know, i don't know where we'll get this much money, but i know this much that we won't let anything happen to our shop. Lets go back so we can take care of bauji and i know we'll think of something" Khushi determined as ever but the second Payal says "Chalo chalte hain (lets go)"
Her dil gains control, it hits her this is really happening, she is going back hamesha ke liye, uski nazron se door (going back for good, away from his eyes)
Beautiful scene as Buaji later tries to convince the girls to stay by letting them know she could use the company and with Shyaam's help she can try and get another job instead of going back and doing nothing. "but buaji, i don't feel like staying away from Amma and Bauji anymore" Khushi still hung up on going back, Buaji advises to call Shyaam and see what happens to which she agrees.
ASR goes to pick up La, his dimaag wali girl. She is elated, but displays her insecurities when she thinks he's having second thoughts about the live-in.
"i wont do anything to upset you, i promis" She assures him but Arnav tells her to relax "did i say anything to you? then why are you thinking like this on your own?" [Love the way they show how one-way affection can brind out insecurities in girl.] "i've known you for so long but feel like i don't really know you...ASR do you really love me?"
"Lavanya, If i didn't love you " he answers, with the help of his dimaag as he removes her hand on him pretty much detaching her from him "i wouldn't be picking you up to take you home. "
talk about a contradiction, on day we'll know that he never really loved her, but can't blame him for now as he also doesn't know what love is yet.
"Infact we should hurry up" La walks away to grab her bag...thats all it took for his dil to kick in
"Hamme aap ki koi baat nahi sun ni (i don't want to listen to anything you have to say)
"tum aise nahi jaa sakti, Khush, KHUSHI (you can't leave like this Khush, KHUSHI)!" she dared not listen to him, and walked away leaving him with these raw emotions that came rushing back and he snapped.
He walks over to La, grabs her arm , aggressively turns her around
"when i'm talking, don't leave without letting me finish! i was telling you something" his voice wobbles with the hurt.
La a bit taken back, maybe this was a bit much even for ASR, but she apoligizes, "i was just getting my bag, go on what were you saying?"
He comes back from the storage room, just grabs La's bag "lets go"
A marvelous scene that proves, the dimaag can be controlled, but the dil will do as it pleases. The dimaag may win some battles, but the heart always wins the war. That is a lesson, Arnav Singh Raizada will learn on his own, when the time is right, the words will come out "mere khud ka dil, meri nahi sunta (my own heart doesn't listen to me)" 😊
