Episode 48: this was supposed to a short one dammit! sorry for the length
Change seems to the theme of this episode, as we move on to the next phase of this story. Khushi and Payal plan to move out of the city, while La moves into the RM. Arnav and Nani go head to head again hoping to change the other. Arnav and Khushi still linger in each other, both fighting to change that 😆 with so many changes, adjustment is inevitable
Shyaam stoops to new levels as he talks to Khushi in front of Anjali letting her believe its his friend's mom (yuk! ), flashes of suspicion on Anjali's face but before she could form her thoughts into anything Shyam turned her attention to the food they where cooking.
I was cringing the whole time, especially when Anjali asks
"aap ammaji se bahut pyaar karte hai na?"
"accha aap ko aisa laga?" an excited shyaam asks "vaise acchi to woh bahut hai" (barf) again red flags go up for Anjali, but Shyam is quick to divert her attention
Khushi was unable to ask Shyam for his help since he hung up, so they prepare to leave for Lakhnow. Khushi doubts her decision to go back and looks for a sign...deep within, she knows and needs no sign but for now
"pata nahi hamn sahi faisla liya hai ki nahi, kaash kahi se hame koi ais ishaara milega jo hamse kahega ki, Khushi tumne bilkul sahi faisla liya ha...vaise aise hame kabhi koi bolta to nahi hai"😆
"khushi tum kuchh bhool to nahi rahi ho (arent you forgetting something Khushi)?" khushi thinks for a sec to no avail "DM ko apne saat nahi le jaana hai kya?"
here comes her famous gasp❤️
her DM symbolized her heart, try as she might, she keep forgetting it, first in his office and now in his city, she always held her close to herself.
As soon as she realizes she was forgetting her DM, she had to pick Her up and hold Her, look at Her...
and the first picture came to mind is how is leapt to save her beloved DM, even though he didn't believe, he cared about her sentiments. Lovely expressions on Khushi's face as rabba ve played briefly
she puts down the Goddess, like she was cutting off a feeling, a certain frustration appeared on her face. As she lost herself in his thought, she didn't realize DMs chunar dropped...a sign perhaps ?
LA makes her official entrance into the RM.
Nani has made up her mind about Ms.Kashyap and does not hide her displeasure at all and needs much convincing before Anjali does the aarti ceremony.
La does try to greet Naniji, but as Naniji has made up her mind and refuses to acknowledge it. La even made pastries for the family, unfortunately it had eggs in it which noone in their family eats. The important thing is she really tried from day 1 to fit in, and other than Naniji, the rest of the family seems to like her.
Mamiji is doing all she can to show support to La, enjoyed her jokes to break the ice when things got tense. Even though its for her own gain, its nice La has someone.
La's first day had truned into somewhat of a disaster and no end in sight yet, as she draws unfriendly looks when she gets cozy with her boy friend,
but draws some real attention when she tells Arnav, she's really hot and needs to take a shower
"tumhara room kaha hai (where is your room)?"
"chalo mein dikhata hoon" Arnav casually tell her thinking it's not big deal he is ready to walk her to his room when Nani's voice echos through the house
"taheriye Mr. Kashyap (Wait)!" she walks over to them intimidating La "Where do you think you're going? I'm asking you Ms. Lavanya Kashyap"
Poor la couldn't find the words, so Arnav spoke for her
"Nani, whatever you want to ask, you can ask later at this time"
Nani inturrupts "i'm not asking, i'm telling you, she will NOT be staying in your room. As far as her staying in this house, was the only choice to save our maan our honor, but without a marriage in one room, i will not have it, this is against our values and beliefs"
During the heated argument between Naniji and Arnav, La accidentaly makes things worse by trying to teach nani the definition of "Living-in, matlab saath saath rahena, aur mein aur Arnav saath saath rahenge"
"hello hi bye by, laagat hai ee miss Kashyap ko lion ke moo mein kho ho khelne ka shokh hai" maami says what everyone is thinking😆
Naani puts her foot down and has La's stuff put in the guest room.
ASR had kept his patience when Naniji refused to acknowledge La's "namaste", when she refused to eat her pastries (before it was revealed it had eggs in it) but now she is imposing her values on him and his girlfriend taking away their freedom to choose to stay together "Now i've had enough!".
His anger rises in his eyes as La leaves, Shyam tries to stop him, "sorry Jijaji" not this time. "Nani, i don't think you needed to further damage the situation, La is a guest in this house, Nani if this continues..."
Nani challenges his statement "to kya chote"
"kya ka jawab aap jaanti hai Nani, I'll leave this house with Lavanya, shaadi aur baak riti riwaazo se mera koi lena dena nahi hai (i have nothing to do with marriage or the other rituals)...and i've had enough, meain ek baat ko baar baar nahi kar sakta" unable to bare the air in the room, he walks out
Arnav has always respected the women in his life, even with all of his difference with Nani, he never disrespected her, and the way he is sticking up for La fighting for her respect in this house is very similar to the way he would do later for Khushi during the "moo dikhayi" when people point fingers at the new bride that eloped with the groom and later in front of Dadiji when he says one of the best lines in the show "Jahan meri patni nahi aa sakti, mujhe nahi lagta wahn mer zarurat hai.." To say he is a fair man is an understatement but this man who knows right from wrong according to him and will not back down to fight for it, even if the fight is against his own grandmother. The makers did an excellent job making this complex character with so many amazing layers come alive and to Barun Sobti, who had breathed the life it so deserved into him.
ASR furiously takes his jacket and tie off as it seems to be a habit of his in his anger. his trusted jijaji comes to have chat with him. ASR know why he's here
"Nahi, mein iss ghar mein ab nahi rahe sakta (no, i can't stay here anymore)"
Shyaam says "shaant ho jaaiye saale sahaab"
"Naani ki baaten suni aapne? kya kisi rishte kis shaadi ke bina koi izat nahi hai? Lavanya koi respect deserve nahi karti? we want to stay together, so what if we don't want to get married, she has to understand this"
Shyam is at this "jijaji best" here, calming Arnav down with tea and tries to draw the bridge between him and Nani regarding marriage "society ke pressure mein aake mein shaadi nahi karna chahta, waise bhi mein shaadi mein vishwaash hi nahi karta (i don't want to marry b/c of society pressures)"
his eyes go to that forbidden place as he says he doesn't believe in marriage, a place where he saw his parents marriage shatter perhaps. "my outlook is just as important as Nani's."
Shyam advises him to do as Nani says and see what happens, when she sees you're listening to her, she'll change too right? maybe she'll understand you,
then Shyaam says something very telling of his deceitful nature and exactly what he is doing right now😡😡
" ham apni zindagi mein pehle is samaj gaye the, ki apne aanewale kal ko sawaar na ho, to apne aaj ka liya gaya har kadam soch kar lena chahiye (in my life i learned early on that if you want your tomorrow to be good, every step you take today need to be thought out)" 😡😡
he continues
"Zindagi koi video player to hai nahi ki rewind button dabay aur ghalati sudhaar li (life is not a video player, in which you can rewind and fix mistakes)"
Arnav's heart skips a beat at those words,
his day was filled with big moments, his gf moving in with him and the big fight with Nani, so much happening, but somehow she manages to find him, his mind just needs an excuse. Earlier when Anjali was doing La's aarti,
he was instantly reminded of Khushi's arti at teej
and now this, he stands up, the need to be isolated with her thoughts, not even his trusted jijaji was allowed in (thank God!)
one by one, he thinks of all that he wished to rewind and fix. with each memory and each second, his body becomes more tense, his heart pounds faster
Can you hear him? rehearsing for a play months later?
jab jo kiya, jab jo kaha sab bhool jao bas waapis aa jao,
(whatever bad things done, whatever bad things said, forget all of it, just come back)
Jab jo boora kaha, uska koi matlab nahi,
(whatever bad things i said, it didn't mean anything)
jab jo boora kiya uska koi matlab nahi,
(whatever bad things i did, it didn't mean anything)
"Nafrat hai na?aapko humse, hamaar shakkal se? to khush hojiye, kyu ki hum aapki nazron se hamesha ke liye door jaa rahe hai" her words still haunt him
Sab bhool jao bas waapis aa jao
(forget all of it, just come back)
DROOL CORNER!!!!!!!
❤️ His need to want to go back in time and take away all the pain he imposed on her, he can hardly stand it ❤️
Let's celebrate!!
