Episode 65
He pulled in front of the mandir and looks up with so much hope mixed with fear for his sister,
In that moment Khushi not only saw but felt the love and the need he had for his sister. She was deeply moved for one thing and maybe even shocked, that this rakshas was capable of such love.
She looked on as he removed his seat belt off as quickly as possible, detached his bluetooth, opened the door and flew up the stairs after which a sweet as toffee brother-sister moments followed where she saw this mountain come to his knees and turn in to river. Seemed to me that DM's main agenda today was to suck Khushi into this sacred bond he shares with his sister by full force and making her permanent intricate part of this thread that binds them.
It was the day of Rakshabandan, the morning after Arnav's outburst and fight and Anjali was nowhere to be found. Everyone worried, a frantic search around the RM produced no results. Nani was still furious at Arnav, "yeh sab aapki waje se hua hai (this is all your fault)" Nani taunts Arnav some more "nice gift you've given her on rakshabandhan"
"par nani kal raat gayaa tha khushi ke yaha (But Naani, i went to Khushi's place last night)" as Arnave tried to explain, a cell phone is dropped from slimy hands of snake eyes, a "what the" look from Arnav before he continues "I told her to come back to work here again,...uss khushi kumaari Gupta ko mein jaanta hu, woh zarur aayegi (I know that KKG, she'll come for sure)"
I guess he does know her, eventually the doorbell rang, and there she was as he opened the door for her. Brief tender looks before his look turned into a "told you so" look. Khushi walks in and greets the family. Immediately she asks about Anjali as her smiling face is missing. I just love how Arnav walks back and stands next to Khushi, and the placement of Nani as the right hand of DM standing across them, ordering them to go together to find Anjali, fending off any argument from both of them.
In a much larger picture, Arnav's responsiblity of protecting Anjali has now been extended to Khushi who will protect Anjali's magalsutra, her marriage by keeping a dark dark secret.
As per Nani's orders, Arand and Khushi leave together😉 (Go Naani!)
Arnav's fast driving makes Khushi uneasy, though he doesn't know the reason yet, he notices it and tells her "apni seat belt lagao (put your seatbelt on)." Arnav stops the car as she has some technical difficulties, then for the most droolworthy moment...😳 jaise he has pura haq (full rights) on her, he reaches around her and puts it on her. hey hey... Khushi doesn't seem to mind and even tries to steal a look but she catches his instead. how does one recover from a moment like this?


Back to looking for Di, Khushi observes Arnav's panic and tries to calm him down, even when she gets a look from Arnav she remain sensitive to what he's going through. Does she know that this is the same man that ruthlessly kicked her out of the RM, then later came to her house and insulted her family with stacks of money? She stayed quiet yesterday for a reason, somewhere inside her she knew and understood. A true blueprint of what their relationship will be like, he will torture and she will endure and support.
Arnav gets off the phone with Mamaji, "aap chinta mat kijiye, aap naniji kahe dijiye ga, ki mein Di ko saath le kar hi aaonga (Don't worry, tell Nani that i'll return with Di)" Khushi continues to sense his concern, again, she feels compelled to console him "aap chinta mat kijiye, anjali ji mil jaayegi (Don't worry, Anjali Di will turn up)"
this rubs him the wrong way, he hits the break and get almost in her face "yah sab tumhari waje se hua hai! na tum ghar aati, na Di aur mera jagd hota, SAB TUMHARI WAJE SE HUA HAI!!! (this is all your fault, if you hadn't come home, DI and I wouldn't have faught, ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!! )"
Why do i get the feeling he is blaming her for more than just today. Khushi gives him a look but doesn't argue, even he seems to realize his overreaction.
Soonafter, Khushi thinks of the one place Anjali would be on a Friday as her faith is utmost important to her... "Devi Maiyaa! aaji to shukravaar hai, aaj to DM ke bade mandir mein aarti hoti hai. (It's friday, and there is usually a aarti happening at the big mandir for DM)" she had a point even though, Arnav wouldn't admit it. He did listen to her and she became the reason to finding Di.
Kushi watch as he ran and leapt up those stairs to come to a sudden stop, sees Anjali sitting there weeping, he froze before relief took over.
Making his way to her he seems to have have transformed back into a little boy whose love, care and need for his older sister is enormous...fighting back his tears as he recites a cute phrase he made for her "toffee se mitti hai, churan se khatti hai, khatti mitti hai teri kahaani, Anjali Di hai sab se siyaani"
translation: sweeter than toffee, sour than churan (eng word??), sweet and sour is you story, Anjali Di is the best."
He can see Anjali melting but looks away, Arnav doesn't let her "Di, its your turn." he starts her off with her part when she claims she forgot "Papad ka tukda?"
"Papad ka tukda hai, jab dekhi ukhda hai, deta hai apni di ko aansoo mote mote, woh hai gusse wala hamaara chote"
Translation: trying to think of one
He stops fighting the tears, "galati ho gayee di, maaf kardo (made a mistake Di, forgive me)" putting his cheek forward giving her permission to slap him. She whole heartily forgives him but he can't forgive himself.
"No Di, teek nahi hai, mein batameez hu, duniya ke liye, app ke li nahi, mera gussa baki sab ke liye jaayaz hai par aapke liye kabhi nahi, mujhe iss duniya se koi matlab nahi,meri asli duniya to app ho" completely broken down with a gulp, Di,phir kabhi khona mat, Please, bachhpan se dekh raha hoon, jo kho jaaten hai, waapis nahi aate"
Translation: "No Di, its not ok, i'm a jerk for everyone but not you. my anger is justified with everyone but not you. I don't have anything to do with thsi world, my real world is you...Di, please do get lost again, please, because from childhood, those who get lost don't come back"
then the biggest tear jerker...he goes on "agar appka dil kare na, to aap mujhe maar lena, maar maar ke meri jaan lelena par maa ki tarah mujhe chod ke mat jaana"
Translation: if you want you can hit me, hit me so much it kills me but don't leave me like mom (wwwahhhaaa 😭)
Anjali consoles her BABY brother "These tiffs are normal for brothers and sisters, but don't ever think like that...ok tell me you're fasting today too right?" a slight nod from Arnav. " so how did you know to find me here?" he doesn't answer. "Khushi?" Anjali spots Khushi.
Khushi stood there and watched the whole thing, completely moved and touch by what she saw. Smiled as Anjali responded to Arnav's phrase, noticed Arnav Singh Raizada does say sorry to one person, doubted some of what she thought about him upon hearing that his world is his sister, not this materialistic world, and she cried when he begs Anjali not to get lost like his mom.
She saw a side of him that allowed her access to his golden soul, (though Arnav would argue she was already in.) It's here that the base is formed, for her constant endurance of his torture. She begins to understand him, his pain.
Later the rakhi ceremonies goes well, the ceremony plays a key role in this show, as it signifies the brotherly duty of protecting his sister, unfortunately Arnav has no idea how much protection she needs. But in the end when he does fulfill his promises on Anjali's fourth wedding anniversary and her last with Shyaam, Arnav asks his sister to tie one on him from a box full of all the rakhis she had tied him through the years, Khushi will right by Arnav's side and in a way play a bigger role in Anjali's protection
During the ceremony, Nani tells Khushi about how Anjali makes the rakhi herself and how the bro-sis duo keep fast together and open it together... giving more reasons for khushi to soften towards that LG😆.
"Di, ladoos are good this year, did you make them?" Arnav asks
"Khushi made them this year" anjali responds...
yep, he's a goner,
Arnav gives Khushi a look and responds back.
Naani happy to see that moment, she knows "aadmi ki dil ke raha pet se howat hai (the way to a man's heart is through his stomach)"😆
DROOL CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!
