Episode 66
From now on these episodes remind me of a favorite child hood game called "ghar ghar (house house)" where my bestie and i would take on the role of husband and wife, imitate our parents...loads of fun. Nani has put this game in motion, but the players are oblivious. If only they'd all closely pay attention...they would notice how their inner beings strive to fulfill their spousal duties. But its a good thing they are ignoring their gut, all the yelling, blaming, irritating is half the fun and make those little tender "rabba ves" that much more special...
Khushi makes a list of "To teach La" while Anjali dictates,
"chotey ki pasand na pasand hum aapko bata denge (I'll tell you his likes and dislikes)" ... Ofcourse, Anjali would tell his "wife" first about his likes and dislikes, but what's more interesting is the alertness on Khushi's face as Anjali says that... I felt a weeny bit of excitement from her and the willingness to learn about her laad governor...afterall, that's one of the reasons she's here IMO. Anjali continues with the list and feels overwhelmed, but our eternal optimist Khushi tell her to relax. "just tell me when the wedding is?" one little question...Anjali was mortified as La makes clearifies "no marriage for ASR or Me" leaving khushi confused which leads two words: Live in.
"live-in matlab? (live-in meaning?)"
What an entertaining scene this was, a small-town girl trying to grasp the concept of a man and woman doing marital things...well, pre-marriage. For someone who grew up only learning the conventional ways of "ghar (one's house after marriage)" "sansaar (marriage life)" parivaar (kids)" surely this is hard to understand. La spells it out for her "Live-in is when a boy and a girl live together without being married, meaning a couple that can do anything a married couple can do"
Khushi's innocent world crumbles down, so as always her solution to such situations... FOOD! Bravo to Gul and writers for making Khushi an emotional eater, she likes food in general but when in distress it becomes a way for her to fill that void...not the healthiest thing but oh so realistic! A plate of samosa (yummmy) happens to be close to her, so she picks it up. Each bite seeks an answer, all the while forgetting to chew...her full mouth resembles her full brain...so many questions...so many thought...
Just when her mouth can't get any fuller, (something yummier than samosas walks in) Arnav comes to talk to La...but is drawn to Khushi's puffy cheeks.
this bit inspired by Ritu's story telling, thanks Ritu!!!
No big reaction from him, but i think he is smitten over this cutie. Her child-like innocence always hit a major chord with him. Seeing Arnav, it hits her, Laad governor + "live-in," and so with her somasa-filled mouth she gives him a dirty look. The whole living-in thing bugged her but deep down, but in addition it was him living-in with La. I smelled a bit of jealousy.
Arnav remembers what he really came down here for, to talk to La about work but is interrupted by a series of hiccups unleashed by Khushi. Even his loud and scary "ENOUGH" didn't work.
The "disturbance" forces him to take the meeting elsewhere
Anjali gives Khushi some water and she finally gulps down her Samosas. On her way out she sees Arnav yelling at La for neglecting work, she draws her own conclusion "Poor Lavanya ji, he's probably forcing her to live in without a marriage by yelling blackmailing." Looking at La. it's hard to digest this misunderstanding, so i felt why this need to just blame Arnav? Could it be that much like Arnav's need to blame her for everything, She subconsciously wants to do the same? later in a ROFL scene, we see her dreaming, she is the judge, he the defendant.
Her verdict? "Ghalati Arnav Singh Raizadaki hai! (It ASR's mistake)" and even though its Buaji that says "Ee ka jail mein daal do (put him in jail)," its her unconscious giving voice to Buaji. She has the same need to punish him now as he had to punish her before the guest house.
Khushi leaves before she can see the real picture, Arnav was merely asking La to choose home or career as she can't handle both. Though he may have overreacted due to all the irritation "uss Khushi" is causing... he says to La "Just seeing that Khushi here in the house irritates me all day and on top of that you, if you can't manage both then choose one"
La tries to explain, "how can i handle both?"
"that's why i'm telling you, choose one and mind you, staying with that Khushi Kumaari Gupta, make sure you don't become like her" oh Arnav, why this need to constantly bring her up? He really doesn't want La to turn in another Khushi, he can barely handle this single piece!
"relax ASR, even if i try i can't become like that Chamkili" ...Arnav has a "that's true" expression on his face
Khushi returns home, that earth shattering information still on her mind, she gets herself a drink of water while Buaji comes and makes alot of noise then leaves. Love the way Khushi teaches Payal about "live-in"
The conversation between Shyaam and KHushi is fab. It really wasn't Shyaams's best day: first his wife goes missing, then he finds out that Khushi will return to work for the raizadas, later his wife purposes making Khushi his sister...lastly, he loses his control and lets his true deamon out...rakshash in every sense.
Shyaam is dispicle here, trying to make Khushi feel guilty for refusing to hand him her responsibility...though it was never his for taking. She was never within his reach
Khushi held her own, "yeh galat hai, babuji ka karz utaar ne ke liye hum ek aur karz nahin le sakte (this is wrond, i can talk another loan to payoff babuji's debt!)....I can handle anything for babuji, my ego is nothing in front of babuji, if by doing this babuji can walk with his head held high, i will keep puting up with it" The bond she shared with her adoptive father shines through here, It was so fitting that her father was the first one to know about Shyaam and that scene of his taking the engagement ring off of his daughter's fingers in his state of paralysis... The strength of love and the need to protect them, so well depicted between the two. Unfortunatly lots of lose ends when it came to the Gupta member's financial condition...
